The official date for 4.5 is 1/20/02. Stable appears at the same time (or maybe a few minutes later when the name change is committed. In reality, releases are simply snapshots of the RELENG_4 branch. A RELEASE tag is created and that is it. From the moment the first commit is made after the RELEASE is tagged, the name will show up as 4.5-STABLE, but it is really continued development on the RELENG_4 branch of FreeBSD. R.
