The agreement with USL allows us to use and release Net/2 based code until July (I forget the exact date). We're not going to be rushing a 2.0 release which will be the new 4.4 based code. We're going to take some time to try and ensure that the new 4.4 based code is at least as stable as 1.1.5 before we release it. Since that may take some time it was decided that we should tidy up -current and make one final release just before the USL deadline so that all the work we've done so far is available in a full release before we drop the 1.X lineage. > >What is the release date? (whatever time frame someone can offer, I'm >not asking for a hard date...) It's going to be very soon, the alpha release is being bundled at the moment. The full release will be in a couple of weeks. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member.
