I can't speak for the RE team, but from watching the BETA and RC progress and reports in the mailing lists ... my guess is that 6.0-RELEASE will be out very soon. Maybe in only a few days. > We are (believe it > or not) still running and building production servers with 4.11, Same here. > We're running our own tests on RC1, but don't have a lot of spare servers to > try it on.

FWIW, I'm running RELENG_6 on two machines (a notebook and a server) for several weeks, updating every few days, and putting some workload and various testing on them. So far I have not encountered any serious problems that were not resolved. So, stability seems to be very good; my feeling is that 6.0 will be a _lot_ better than 5.0. A _lot_. About performance: It seems to be a little slower than RELENG_4 on my test machines (which are UP). It's not much slower, but noticeable. (Yes, I know about INVARIANTS, WITNESS and malloc.conf, those are not the cause.) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
