hi together, during testing the 6.1-BETA4 i found only one major thing i really like to discuss on the list for my understanding. why are some major parts of the os are not updated to the current versions (see examples beyond)? code-improvements and security-/functionality-fixes come to my mind here. examples given: zlib (v1.2.2, 10/2004; current 1.2.3, 07/2005) openssl (v0.9.7e, 10/2004; current 0.9.7i, 10/2005) openssh (v4.2p1, 01/2005, current 4.3p2 02/2006) for openssh, the code-freeze of freebsd was before the release of 4.3, this makes sense, but what about the rest? br & cu... ps: just reply 2 the list please...
