Any idea when the full release of FreeBSD 11 will be out? I have looked on the website but it says the 5th and it's the 6th today. Are there any last minute issues with the release? Looking forward to downloading and using it.

The RELEASE is already out. I’m running on a machine 11.0-RELEASE-p1. I installed from a FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso, which were pulled back from the servers
because of fixes, from September 29 and did a freebsd-update today. The update should
be available from FreeBSD-11.0-RC3 as well, at this time for the amd64 and i386 platforms only.
The official RELEASE images might be released any time soon.
Not officially. The announcement usually comes a few days after it's ready. This is to allow all mirrors to catch up before announcing the availability. There was also a brief period where a 11.0-RELEASE was available but that one was revoked due to the last minute issues that were discovered.
Long story short, it's best to wait for the official announcement before jumping in.
