In de Legacy development branch van FreeBSD is een nieuwe versie uitgekomen. Het gaat om versie 4.11 en deze kan zowel via het [url=http://people.freebsd.org/~kensmith/4.11-torrent/]BitTorrent-netwerk[/url] worden gedownload en vanaf een [url=ftp://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/]FTP-server.[/url]
De release notes zijn te lang om hier weer te geven, dus we volstaan met een [url=http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.11R/relnotes-i386.html]link[/url] naar de pagina en sluiten af met enkele woorden van Ken Smith, de release engineer van FreeBSD:

The Release Engineering Team is happy to announce the availability of FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE, the latest release of the FreeBSD Legacy development branch. Since FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE in May 2004 we have made conservative updates to a number of software programs in the base system, dealt with known security issues, and made many bugfixes.
For a complete list of new features, known problems, and late-breaking news, please see the release notes and errata list.
FreeBSD 4.11 will become the first “Errata Branch”. In addition to Security fixes other well-tested fixes to basic functionality will be committed to the RELENG_4_11 branch after the release. Both Security Advisories and Errata Notices are announced on the freebsd-announce@freebsd.org mailing list.
This is expected to be the last release from the RELENG_4 branch. Most of the Developers are now focused on the RELENG_5 branch, or on the cutting edge development in HEAD.[/quote]
