That which is currently available at the head of the source tree.  We
have continued to examine the software, and have been making 
fixes as the most obscure bugs are identified.  (Not all of these bugs
are strictly Y2000 problems.)  By examining the repository (either
directly or through the FreeBSD.ORG Web pages) you can determine
whether the specific fixes listed on the Y2K page are included in the
version of the system you have.

We believe that there are no bugs remaining which would cause
erroneous operation of a previously working system; however, there may
be some problems remaining in user-interface functionality and
third-party software.
