FreeBSD Development Model

  • FreeBSD development continues along two parallel branches; FreeBSD-CURRENT and FreeBSD-STABLE.
  • FreeBSD-CURRENT is the main trunk of our CVS repository. All new development should happen here.
  • FreeBSD-STABLE is the branch from which major releases are made. Changes enter this branch at a different pace, and with the general assumption that they have been well tested by our user community running -CURRENT.
