Is this considered to be stable? I mean as stable as 4.10? Message: 13 Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2004 11:27:04 -0400 From: "fbsd_user" <fbsd_user@a1poweruser.com> Subject: 5.3 stable release tentatively scheduled for Oct 3 To: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD. ORG" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Message-ID: <MIEPLLIBMLEEABPDBIEGOELMGIAA.fbsd_user@a1poweruser.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 5.3 stable release tentatively scheduled for Oct 3 The FreeBSD Release Engineering team has published the schedule for the FreeBSD 5.3 stable release. It spans 7 weeks and includes weekly BETA/RC snapshots for testing. The theme for this release is "testing testing testing!" since it is going to be the first 5-STABLE release. The stable 5.3-RELEASE date is tentatively scheduled for Oct 3 if no show stopper problems arise like last time. See http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/schedule.html Release 5.3-BETA1 scheduled for Aug 20 at which time the 5.3-BETA1 tier-1 platform images are released and uploaded to ftp-master.FreeBSD.org server. This is the start of the 7 weekly install process and disk performance testing cycles. People needed to install from downloaded iso image from ftp-master.FreeBSD.org to do install process testing to find and report install config problems. This is your opportunity to beat on the cdrom install process to verify all the previous 5.2.1 install problems with disk geometry have been corrected. Only cdrom installs default to using the new UFS2 file access method on the disk storage system, so heavy disk i/o users are also needed to beat on UFS2 disk drives to verify the system freeze up problems have been fixed. Please submit your bug reports using send-pr command as soon as you find problems so they can be address and fixed by the next weekly BETA/RC cycle.
