<p>May and June were remarkably busy months for the FreeBSD
Project-- FreeBSD developers met in Monterey, CA in June for
FreeBSD Developer Summit III to discuss strategy for the
FreeBSD 5.0 release later this year, and for the USENIX Annual
Technical conference and the FreeBSD BoF. Substantial technical
progress was made on FreeBSD 5.0, and another release was cut
on the RELENG_4 branch, 4.6-RELEASE in June.</p>
FreeBSD 5.0 release later this year, for the USENIX Annual
Technical conference and for the FreeBSD BoF. Substantial
technical progress was made on FreeBSD 5.0, and FreeBSD
4.6-RELEASE was cut on the RELENG_4 branch in June.</p>
<p>The remainder of the summer will be busy. Final development
<p>The remainder of the summer will continue to busy. Fina
components and features for 5.0-RELEASE will go into the tree,
and the development direction will change from new features to
stability, performance, and production-readiness. With
additional 5.0 development previews late in the summer, we hope
to broaden the tester base for the 5.0 technologies, and start
to broaden the tester base for the -CURRENT branch, and start
to get early adopters digging out any potential problems in
their test environment.</p>
their test environments. I encourage both FreeBSD Developers
and FreeBSD Users to give 5.0-DP2 a spin (on a machine without
critical data!) and let us know how it goes. The more testing
that happens before the release, the less fixing we have to do
afterwards!</p>
