Users of FreeBSD 7.3 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to FreeBSD 7.4, FreeBSD 8.1, FreeBSD 8.2, or FreeBSD 9.0 before the that date. Please note that due to the unexpectedly long interval between FreeBSD 8.2 and the upcoming FreeBSD 8.3, the EoL date for FreeBSD 8.2 (originaly set at February 29, 2012) has been postponed until July 31, 2012 in keeping with the policy of having a three-month "upgrade window". In the unlikely event that FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE arrives later than the end of April, the EoL dates for FreeBSD 8.1 and 8.2 will be further postponed. 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|July 31, 2012 | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_9 |n/a |n/a |n/a |last release + 2y| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_9_0 |9.0-RELEASE |Normal |January 10, 2012 |January 31, 2013 | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ - -- 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 v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk9WFXQACgkQFdaIBMps37J6KgCbBJDCOI8nekcEeOvfceRBZ6wB RO0AnjodgSFb8//a0M1clLcQ764qS3co =HTwe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
