I am not a native speaker though, so take my rephrasing with a grain of salt. Apart from that, the RELENG_5 paragraph states that there will be additional releases from that branch after 5.5-REL. I am in serious doubt. >How-To-Repeat: Read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/history.html 1.3.1 A Brief History of FreeBSD >Fix: Apply this patch to doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/introduction/chapter.sgml,v 1.114 --- chapter.sgml.orig Fri Sep 15 00:44:40 2006 +++ chapter.sgml Fri Sep 15 00:50:57 2006 @@ -609,17 +609,17 @@ release started FreeBSD on the path of advanced multiprocessor and application thread support and introduced support for the &ultrasparc; and <literal>ia64</literal> platforms.
