Release

今天 -HEAD 被命名为 FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT 了（对应的 __FreeBSDversion 是 900000）。从流程上说，这么做的意思是 -HEAD 终于准备解冻进入 slush 状态了（另外，8.0-BETA3应该很快会发布了），基本上之前的一些障碍也都扫清了，目前看来，8.0-RELEASE应该只推后两周左右。。

今天看到FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE的packages已经传到i386的R了，不知道什么时候解冻呢？

As title. Eager to see final release.

So Python will release the bugfix release, 2.4.3. Now they have released the RC1 as a release candidate, with more than 50 bugfixes!

我们将在大约月底的时候开始代码冻结，并准备两个新的RELEASE。我们的主要精力将集中于FreeBSD 6.1，而FreeBSD 5.5则集中于修正严重问题。近期发现的一系列功能和性能上的改进，将合并到这两个分支上。

昨天Scott Long老大发了一封信说，从过去一个月内的反馈来看，6.0-RELEASE是FreeBSD近几年最为成功的发行版本，同时，也是FreeBSD历史上最为成功的.0发行版本。

I think we would be going to release 6.0-RC2 soon, to encourage more testing against the recently caught issues that addressed several race conditions, etc.

许多人开始在论坛宣布5.4-RELEASE。历史上FreeBSD把发出的iso收回重新release又不是没发生过，那么着急做什么？FreeBSD是一个开源的系统，国内有两个每15分钟更新一次的官方cvsup镜像，何必呢……

Today, Wietse Venema has announced postfix 2.2.0-RELEASE. To quote him:

The official Postfix 2.2 release adopts widely used third-party patches and a bunch of new functionality that was developed over the past year.Below is a summary of the changes. These and more are detailed in the RELEASE_NOTES document, which also describe the incompatible changes that you should be aware of BEFORE upgrading from Postfix
2.1 or earlier.

• TLS and IPv6 support are now built into Postfix, based on code
  from third-party patches.

• Extended query interface for LDAP, MySQL and PostgreSQL with free
  form SQL queries, and domain name filters to reduce unnecessary
  lookups.

Scott Long has branched RELENG_5_3 (also RELENG_5_3_BP tag) and 5.3-RC1 is coming REALLY SOON.
