<em>From <a href="mailto:jkh@FreeBSD.org">jkh</a>, November 4th:</em>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>FreeBSD's development stream has, as of today, branched into the
|
||||
<b>2.2-RELEASE</b> and <b>3.0-<a href="handbook/current.html">CURRENT</a></b>
|
||||
development streams. The <b>2.1-<a href="handbook/stable.html">STABLE</a></b>
|
||||
branch is also still alive, soon to terminate (for real, this time)
|
||||
with the impending release of <b>FreeBSD-2.1.6</b>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This branch has occurred so that <b>2.2</b> may be readied for release
|
||||
without impacting significant new developments, like SMP support, in the
|
||||
mainstream <a href="handbook/current.html">-current</a> branch.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Modulo any of our usual two-week slips here and there, here is
|
||||
our release schedule for 96/97:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>December 1996</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>FreeBSD 2.1.6-RELEASE</b>
|
||||
<p>End of <b>2.1-STABLE</b> branch.</p>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3>January 1997</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE</b>
|
||||
<p>Beginning of <b>2.2-STABLE</b>.</p>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3>Spring 1997</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>FreeBSD 2.2.x-RELEASE</b>
|
||||
<p>Bugfix release for <b>2.2R</b> along <b>2.2-STABLE</b> branch.</p>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is also probably as good a time as any to announce that new
|
||||
XFree86 <a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/XFree86/2.2-CURRENT/XF8632">
|
||||
3.2 binaries</a>, with early <a href="http://www.matrox.com">Matrox</a>
|
||||
support, are available.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://www.xfree86.org">The XFree86 project</a>
|
||||
for the timely binaries, which will be distributed with <b>2.2-RELEASE</b>
|
||||
(<b>2.1.6</b> binaries are still pending but should be available before that
|
||||
release).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Lest there be any confusion about the <b>2.1.6</b> and <b>2.2</b> releases
|
||||
coming so close together, let me also just explain that the two branches of
|
||||
development had really very little to do with one another, and the fact
|
||||
that both branches came to release status around the same time was
|
||||
simply how the scheduling worked out. When engineering is allowed
|
||||
to do the scheduling, it rarely employs traditional marketing
|
||||
strategems. :)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In summary:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>2.1.6-RELEASE</b> is aimed squarely at commercial users who don't need
|
||||
to be on the leading edge of development but favor things like stability
|
||||
and a long test-cycle instead. 2.1-<a href="handbook/stable.html">STABLE</a>
|
||||
has had only incremental refinements made to it since <b>2.1.5</b> was
|
||||
released, and <b>2.1.6</b> will end what we feel to have been a very
|
||||
successful branch.<p></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>2.2-RELEASE</b> will begin introducing the more leading edge
|
||||
technologies we've been developing over the year that
|
||||
<a href="handbook/stable.html">-stable</a> has run in parallel,
|
||||
and will also be entering bug-fix mode after its release. Existing
|
||||
-stable customers will be encouraged to make the jump to 2.2-STABLE
|
||||
some time after <b>2.2</b>'s release, once the first round of customer
|
||||
PRs have come back and been acted on.<p></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>3.0-CURRENT</b> is now the bleeding edge of development, and where
|
||||
all new development takes place. Until code freeze on the 10th
|
||||
of November, changes may also be marked "For 2.2-RELEASE" and
|
||||
they will be brought into that branch as necessary. After code
|
||||
freeze, it will have to be a clearly important bug fix to make
|
||||
it in before the release date.<p></p>
|
||||
|
||||
Many significant changes are planned for <b>3.0</b>, and those interested
|
||||
in its development should subscribe to the freebsd-current
|
||||
<a href="handbook/eresources.html">mailing list</a> (send mail to
|
||||
<a href="mailto:majordomo@freebsd.org">majordomo@freebsd.org</a>).
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As always, *all* branches of FreeBSD development are available
|
||||
from a single CVS repository which may be freely replicated
|
||||
to your own machine (see <a href="handbook">the handbook</a>) or
|
||||
<a href="http://www.freebsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb">browsed</a> via
|
||||
the WEB.

<em>Note for CDROM customers</em>:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you are a regular FreeBSD
|
||||
<a href="http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/freebsd.htm">subscription customer</a>
|
||||
of <a href="http://www.cdrom.com">Walnut Creek CDROM</a>, you will receive
|
||||
both <b>2.1.6</b> and <b>2.2</b> releases. Making each release a full CD
|
||||
distribution was the only way of ensuring that each would meet the quality
|
||||
expectations of each customer base, and any customer who feels they would
|
||||
have preferred to receive only one release may contact the
|
||||
<a href="mailto:orders@cdrom.com">the orders department</a> at Walnut
|
||||
Creek CDROM at any time for a full refund or credit towards the next
|
||||
subscription issue.</p>
