Hubbard" Message-Id: <200006010117.SAA02115@zippy.cdrom.com> To: stable@freebsd.org Subject: 3.5 release date Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG We're a bit late with 3.5 so far but that's OK since people have been expecting only small, incremental changes for that release. Nonetheless, I thought now would be a good time to set the date and, given my upcoming trip to Japan and Korea (June 6th through June 15th), we're probably looking at June 20th as a reasonable release date. Committers have basically 15 days to tie up any loose ends in the RELENG_3 branch and do *reasonable* merge work from 4.x/5.x. This should be done under the same guidelines we've always used: Doc changes, obvious or critical bug fixes, security problems, all are fair candidates for merging. Major new functionality or experimental/insufficiently tested bits are not good candidates for 3.5. As always, if you have any question about the suitability of a change, please feel free to ask me. Thanks! - Jordan P.S. This release will be made available on CDROM but not shipped automatically to subscription customers. If you want 3.5, you'll have to order it in the usual way. Thanks again.
