Human errors can always happen. I guess BETA2 comes so short only because there was few major problems with BETA1, and BETA1.5 changed version to BETA1 after update, which was little weird, hence the need to bump version. So for me BETA2 is actually the real BETA1 :) I'm not part of re@ but this seems reasonable explanation. Also have in mind that this is voluntary project, and I think that the resources that it have are well used. Don't you think so? BTW snapshots are done every month, so it's just time for the next snapshot, that is called BETA2 ... Instead of moaning we better start testing and report problems (and whoever can send fixes) :) > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Best Wishes, Stefan Lambrev ICQ# 24134177
