<h2>Where to find snapshots</h2>
<p>Snapshots of <a href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html#CURRENT">FreeBSD-CURRENT</a>
<p>Snapshots for both <a href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html#CURRENT">FreeBSD-CURRENT</a> and <a href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html#STABLE">FreeBSD-STABLE</a>
are available via anonymous FTP from
<a href="ftp://current.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/">
ftp://current.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/</a>.
The snapshot releases are in directories named in the
format <b>REL-YYMMDD-SNAP</b> where `<b>REL</b>' is the
release number, `<b>YY</b>' is the year, `<b>MM</b>' is
the month, and `<b>DD</b>' is the day the snapshot was
released. Each snapshot directory contains a
`<b>README</b>' file which outlines the changes for the
format <b>REL-YYYYMMDD-*SNAP</b> where `<b>REL</b>' is the
release number (i.e. 5.2-CURRENT or 4.9-STABLE), `<b>YYYY</b>'
is the year, `<b>MM</b>' is the month, and `<b>DD</b>' is the
day the snapshot was released. Each snapshot directory contains a
`<b>RELNOTES.TXT</b>' file which outlines the changes for the
particular snapshot.</p>
<p>By popular demand, snapshots are also now available for the
<a href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html#STABLE">FreeBSD-STABLE</a> branch via anonymous FTP from
<a href="ftp://releng4.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/">
ftp://releng4.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/</a>.
The snapshot releases are in directories named in the
same manner as -current snapshots, but ending in the keyword
RELENG instead of SNAP.
