Is there an ETA on when 9 becomes RELEASE?

I'm not sure if there is an area on the website that has this information but if there is I couldn't find. More for curiosity than anything.

Roughly somewhere in May 2011.

Thanks SirDice. Whoop WHoop - not long now.

Normally you find information about upcoming releases here: http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html.

As you can see HEAD is still open. Typically before a release we see the branch closed and a few BETAs and RCs (release candidates). With no inside information about the schedule, I'm pretty skeptical we'll see a release in a few weeks.

Ah - Thanks mingrone for the info.

I wouldn't expect it anytime sooner than September.

GEM/KMS not going to make it?

Doubtful as the grant to develop it only has been granted in February.

At last there is information when FreeBSD 9 will be released.

As I understand from the wiki the initial release schedule announcement was on 2011-04-19, but it's only published today for mortals like me

It's great! So, now that 9.0 is nearly complete, it's time to switch Downloading sources right now :e
