The release cycle for FreeBSD-4.11 will be starting shortly, with a
target release date of January 24th, 2005. A tentative schedule is
available, though not all of the dates for the various steps have been
set. Throughout the release cycle the schedule will be updated and
available here:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.11R/schedule.html
This is expected to be the last of the FreeBSD-4.X releases, and is
meant to provide current 4.X users with a little more time to migrate
to FreeBSD-5.X. It is mostly an accumulation of security and other
misc. bugfixes though a few new features have been added since 4.10
was released.
For those of you who track the RELENG_4 development branch (which is
not recommended for systems that require high reliability - we
recommend such systems track the release branch, currently RELENG_4_10
for 4.X) note that branch will shift to being called 4.11-PRERELEASE
on December 6th, 2004. Typically the developers get more active the
week before a code freeze so this will be your hint to be a bit more
cautious during that time. Problems like catching a snapshot of the
source tree "between commits" and that sort of thing become more
likely during that week.
