Can we find the latest major and minor versions with freebsd-update?

Is there a way to use the freebsd-update command to discover the latest available versions of FreeBSD? I normally use a separate computer to manually look at the releases available with a GUI and predict which version I would like to pull down. What's a common way to do this from the command line?

Not that I'm aware of.

You don't need to 'predict' anything. Just signup on the freebsd-announce mailing list. And you automatically receive security, errata and release notices.
