3.X branch.</para>
<para>There was another branch on March 13, 2000, which saw the
emergence of the 4.X-STABLE branch, now considered to be the
<quote>current -stable branch</quote>. There have been several releases
emergence of the 4.X-STABLE branch. There have been several releases
from it so far: 4.0-RELEASE was introduced in March 2000, and
the most recent &rel2.current;-RELEASE came out in
&rel2.current.date;. There will be additional releases
along the 4.X-stable (RELENG_4) branch well into 2003.</para>
along the 4.X-stable (RELENG_4) branch.</para>
<para>The long-awaited 5.0-RELEASE was announced on January 19,
2003. The culmination of nearly three years of work, this
release started FreeBSD on the path of advanced multiprocessor
and application thread support and introduced support for the
&ultrasparc; and <literal>ia64</literal> platforms. This release was followed by 5.1 in
June of 2003. Besides a number of new features, the 5.X
releases also contain a number of major developments in the
underlying system architecture. Along with these advances,
however, comes a system that incorporates a tremendous amount of
new and not-widely-tested code. For this reason, the 5.X
releases are considered <quote>New Technology</quote> releases, while the 4.X
series function as <quote>Production</quote> releases. In time, 5.X will be
declared stable and work will commence on the next development
branch, 6.0-CURRENT.</para>
&ultrasparc; and <literal>ia64</literal> platforms. This release
was followed by 5.1 in June of 2003. The last 5.X release from
-CURRENT branch was 5.2.1-RELEASE, introduced in February 2004.</para>
<para>RELENG_5 branch created in August 2004, followed by 5.3-RELEASE,
that marks beginning of the 5-STABLE branch releases.</para>
<para>For now, long-term development projects continue to take place in the
5.X-CURRENT (trunk) branch, and SNAPshot releases of 5.X on
6.X-CURRENT (trunk) branch, and SNAPshot releases of 6.X on
CDROM (and, of course, on the net) are continually made available
from <ulink url="ftp://current.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/">
the snapshot server</ulink> as work progresses.</para>
