FreeBSD 8.0 – New Release Date

FreeBSD 8.0 currently available as Beta 2. Most, if not all, planned items on the 8.0-to-do list have been completed, but the release process has been slightly delayed due to a problem withthe SVN -> CVS exporter when creating the stable/8 branch. Fixes  and patches for bugs and other issues are now being reviewed and implemented if accepted.

The next snapshot, BETA3, is planned for 17 August, RC1 for 31 August, RC2 for 14 Sept, with the 8.0 release for the end of September. These slightly changed dates have also been updated on the BSD Calendar (www.bsdevents.net)
