FreeBSD releases are classified into "Production Releases" and +"Legacy Releases". The former are best suited to users looking for +the latest new features; the latter are for users wishing to stay with +a more conservative upgrade strategy.

+ +

Releases are further classified by the length of time they will be +supported by the Security Officer into "Normal" and "Extended" +releases.

+ +

Documentation files for each release are + available for viewing in HTML format on the + Release Documentation page.

Complete information about the release date, the classifcation +type, and the estimated End-Of-Life (EOL) for currently supported +releases can be found on the Supported Releases +section of the FreeBSD +Security Information page.
