| FreeBSD Release Model |

|
|
|
| • | FreeBSD
releases maintained using CVS branches |
||||||||
| • | Head
of the tree (-current) will become FreeBSD 5.0 |
||||||||
| • | Last
major release (4.0) was branched (-stable) |
||||||||
| • | Subsequent
minor releases (4.1, 4.2, etc) consist of bug fixes |
||||||||
| backported
from -current, and new features in -current that |
|||||||||
| have
been extensively tested |
|||||||||
| • | Everyone
has complete access to the source code at all times, |
||||||||
| so
incremental releases are not a "Flag day" |
