-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Everyone, On February 28th, FreeBSD 7.1 will reach its End of Life and will no longer be supported by the FreeBSD Security Team. (This was initially scheduled to occur today, but in light of the imminent arrival of FreeBSD 7.4 I decided to push it back a month.) Users of FreeBSD 7.1 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to either FreeBSD 7.3, FreeBSD 8.1, or the upcoming FreeBSD 7.4 or 8.2 within the next month. The current supported branches and expected EoL dates are: +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Branch | Release | Type | Release date | Estimated EoL | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7 |n/a |n/a |n/a |last release + 2y| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7_1 |7.1-RELEASE |Extended|January 4, 2009 |February 28, 2011| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7_3 |7.3-RELEASE |Extended|March 23, 2010 |March 31, 2012 | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7_4 |7.4-RELEASE |Extended|not yet |release + 2 years| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_8 |n/a |n/a |n/a |last release + 2y| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_8_1 |8.1-RELEASE |Extended|July 23, 2010 |July 31, 2012 | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_8_2 |8.2-RELEASE |Normal |not yet |release + 1 year | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ - -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk1Gg6cACgkQFdaIBMps37K69QCfZb4Xa6YEiSOtXDPLfGpi6crE fGEAnjANjSSDXolX5c9VBximNpOD/1rw =5yHH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
