This release is the first in a series of monthly snapshots of the active branches of the FreeBSD tree. Each snapshot consists of a 'mini-inst' (install disc1 without 3rd part packages) CD image for each platform. While these are not full releases, the intent is to increase access to the development branches and encourage more testing and more feedback. We hope to follow on from this with a new snapshot release every month. Snapshots are available via FTP download from most FreeBSD mirrors at the pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/_ directory. Information about snapshots and pointers to the latest releases are available at http://www.freebsd.org/snapshots. When downloading and testing the Feb_2005 snapshots, please note that there are some minor naming inconsistencies with the ISO images. These will be fixed in the next snapshot release in March. Also note that this announcement is somewhat belated, and that most of the snapshots are a week or two old at this point. Again, we will rectify this with the next release. When reporting bugs or other issues with these snapshots, please be sure to include the full snapshot name in the bug report. This will make it much easier for the developers to isolate the problem and provide feedback. And as a reminder, 5.4-RELEASE will start soon, so please test these images as much as possible now. Thanks! Scott
