FreeBSD 4.9 Release Announced
Saw the newsflash today at FreeBSD.Org that the code freeze for the FreeBSD 4.9 release will start on the 25th of this month.
The code freeze is the first step in preparing to build a new release of the operating system. For those people interested here's the Release Schedule they will follow. If all goes well then FreeBSD 4.9 will be shipping around the end of September.
There are obviously many questions about whether this will be the last release for the 4.x line of FreeBSD. No one knows for sure as it really depends on how the 5.x line progresses. If they believe 5.x finally reaches a good level of stability and performance they may end the 4.x line. However more than likely we will be seeing at least one more release in the 4.x line.
