The new list of supported branches is below and at < http://security.freebsd.org/ >. Users of FreeBSD 7.1 are advised to upgrade promptly to a newer release (most likely the recently announced FreeBSD 7.4) either by downloading an updated source tree and building updates manually, or (for i386 and amd64 systems) using the FreeBSD Update utility as described in the relevant release announcement. The current supported branches and expected EoL dates are: +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Branch | Release | Type | Release date | Estimated EoL | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7 |n/a |n/a |n/a |February 28, 2013| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7_3 |7.3-RELEASE |Extended|March 23, 2010 |March 31, 2012 | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7_4 |7.4-RELEASE |Extended|February 24, 2011|February 28, 2013| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_8 |n/a |n/a |n/a |last release + 2y| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_8_1 |8.1-RELEASE |Extended|July 23, 2010 |July 31, 2012 | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_8_2 |8.2-RELEASE |Normal |February 24, 2011|February 29, 2012| +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ - -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk1sorYACgkQFdaIBMps37IgAgCePHsPcwZ/3mvoBzB3yvvo5txo bDcAn0ze3I/h6fz90GVCEYm0cqBMFeOL =DopZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
