The first release candidate for FreeBSD 8.0 is ready for testing: “The first of the release candidates for the FreeBSD 8.0 release cycle is now available. How many RCs we have will depend on how well 8.0-RC1 does. At the moment only one more RC is on the schedule but odds are fairly high we will wind up inserting at least one more RC. Between BETA4 and RC1 a lot of work has gone into IPv6 issues as well as many other issues that have been brought up from the public testing. And a patch set was committed by the people who handle porting ZFS to FreeBSD that they felt makes ZFS production-ready. There are two known problems with 8.0-RC1: local IPv6 link-local addresses are not reachable and the flowtable may direct packets to the wrong interface under certain routing conditions.” Here is the full release announcement.
