Hi FreeBSD -STABLE users, The "code slush" for FreeBSD 14.2 is about to start, but I've just posted the schedule for FreeBSD *13.5* to the FreeBSD website. It will be roughly the same as the schedule for 13.4-RELEASE plus 6 months; note however that 13.5 will be the final release from the 13-STABLE branch, and as such will be supported until the end of April 2026 (rather than the normal "3 months after the next minor release").
13.5-RELEASE schedule: ports quarterly branch: January 1, 2025 reminder email: January 13, 2025 stable/13 slush: January 24, 2025 doc/ tree slush: January 31, 2025 releng/13.5 branch: February 7, 2025 BETA1 build starts: February 7, 2025 BETA2 build starts: February 14, 2025 doc/ tree tag: February 14, 2025 BETA3 build starts: February 21, 2025 ports package builds: TBD (Between February 14 and 28) RC1 build starts: February 28, 2025 RELEASE build starts: March 7, 2025 RELEASE announcement: March 11, 2025 13.4-RELEASE EoL: June 30, 2025 13.5-RELEASE EoL: April 30, 2026 Branch EoL: April 30, 2026 -- Colin Percival FreeBSD Release Engineering Lead & EC2 platform maintainer Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
