See What is FreeBSD-CURRENT? for more information on this >>branch. Wow.. that IS confusing.. Which way is up? "The latest release on the 4-STABLE is 5.0- RELEASE.." is not grammatically correct, AND isn't really correct.. Shouldn't it say: "The latest release on the 4-STABLE branch is 4.7-RELEASE.." That last part is just all messed up. Maybe this instead: "The -CURRENT branch has recently produced 5.0-RELEASE in January 2003, which will then become the new 5-STABLE branch. Future 5.x-RELEASES will come from the 5-STABLE branch."
