It became -BETA Sunday, AFAIK, and the release is scheduled for Saturday.. (U.S days). It is -BETA so that 1) all the pre-built packages on the CD have 3.2 in them, and 2) it gives a week for -stable users to beat it to death to try and find bugs before release. AFAIK, no new features are allowed during -BETA, only bugfixes. --- John Baldwin <jobaldwi@vt.edu> -- http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ PGP Key: http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
