For those tracking the 8.0 release process, BETA3 builds have now started. They were held up for a few days while a few critical issues were resolved: - Changes to make newbus MPSAFE were reverted as they lead to reports of a number of WITNESS warnings and panics during device driver attach/detach. - Another nit in the Subversion->CVS updater was resolved. - The flowtable crash at boot reported by several users has been resolved. - A boot-time hang for users of the htprr driver has been resolved. - ZFS zpool import was fixed. - freebsd-update now backs up the old kernel before installing a new one. You can find a regularly updated release status, the above information, and much more, on the 8.0 release engineering wiki page: http://wiki.freebsd.org/8.0TODO I don't have a specific ETA on BETA3 going out the door, except to say that so far several architectures have reported back on successful builds, so probably quite soon.
