--d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline As mentioned in the previous message about the FreeBSD 4.11 Release Cycle beginning, today the RELENG_4 branch was re-named 4.11-PRERELEASE. We are one week away from the initial code freeze for the 4.11 Release. If you are in a position to help with testing and/or debugging for the upcoming release by all means feel free to begin looking for things that need to be fixed. However if you are working with a system that requires stability and if you have been tracking RELENG_4 it is probably best if you avoid doing updates this week. Due to increased developer activity this development branch can become a little more difficult to work with during this week, the odds of you cvs/cvsup-ing and catching partial commits and that sort of thing increase (not to mention developers have on occasion made mistakes MFC-ing things that take a little time to fix). This is one of the reasons we recommend the security/errata branch tags (e.g. currently RELENG_4_10) for systems that require stability. As a reminder the release schedule for FreeBSD 4.11 is here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.11R/schedule.html Thanks. -ken (on behalf of the Release Engineering Team) --d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBtHPt/G14VSmup/YRAhYpAJ9GCBYssGBBFbNadOeVJ6Q1k2yDAACffNaX 55f7gDTo+0KoiiQmKy23iMc= =za/+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND--
