In general, I think that we :are going to continue on the path of promising releases and not :features. The release date for 7.0 will likely be in mid to late :2007. As more details are agreed on they will be published, but :again it's important to remember that we got ourselves into big :trouble with 5.x by trying to pack too many features into it. : I've read the RE docs before, but don't recall if there's a "Feature Freeze" date for releases that we plan on? Might help in organizing what's expected way before a release date. Not sure how that idea works in FreeBSD-developer land, though. $0.02; Cheers, Andrew -- arr@watson.org
