Latest release?

[skoinga]

Hi,

where I can find (online) the number of the latest release (at present 8.0-RELEASE-p3)?

You don't. You can download 8.0-RELEASE and use freebsd-update(8) to update it to -p3.

There is also 8.1-RC1 available for downloads. This is Release Candidate not release yet but the release is expected in July though it's sliding a bit as always:

I've been following 8 branch from -CURRENT and it's quite stable, no problems at all especially now.
There are no packages on 8.1-RC1 dvd, newest packages supposed to be downloaded from ftp. On the other hand size of the dvd is ~1GB while with packages it's about 2Gb.

That's not possible. -CURRENT is 9.0.

You could try CVSWeb. Set the CVS tag to the branch you're interested in and view src/sys/conf/newvers.sh.

For example: RELENG_8_0 src/sys/conf/newvers.sh
