After writing my little blog on how to upgrade to 7.1 I got several people telling me that the freebsd-update servers were slow, irresponsive etc. From the information that Colin send to FreeBSD-stable it seems that a lot of people were really waiting for 7.1 to come out, and that they all wanted to upgrade. Colin had made improvements to the system so that it can better deal with the load.

The good thing from this is that a lot of people ARE interested in the latest version, as well as that they use the easy to use application “freebsd-update”. If you run a -RELEASE version, you should use this to easily and quickly upgrade to a later revision.

Keep those bits rolling!

So the announcement had been send, the FreeBSD version 7.1 had been released

Please report any bugs and things that you can find on www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html so that we can try our best to iron out the open items.

I need to MFC a few things here and there which is now possible again, so prepare for a lot of fun

So, recently I told you all that the 7.1-RELEASE is near, and you might have expected it already. You guys are too jumpy though . It will be there in the first week(s) of january. It will kick 2009′s ass to start with and your waiting will be pleased (hopefully). Just wait a tiny bit longer and you’ll see

After some waiting, the FreeBSD team will release the 7.1 version shortly. There were a few showstoppers here and there, a security advisory that popped up and needed attention, but we all overcame that and are ready to do the release. Ofcourse that isn't being released as we speak, but it's -very- soon now. 7.1 will kick 2009's ass to begin with. Then followed by a stunning 8.0-release later that year. It promises to be a very good year for us at the FreeBSD development teams, but also for the users ofcourse!.

Please hold your breath and say "ooeeeee ahhhhh" when the release is there!

Enjoy!

Na lang wachten zal het FreeBSD team binnenkort 7.1 vrij geven. Er waren een aantal showstoppers hier en daar, een security advisory die ertussen kwam en aandacht nodig had, maar deze zijn allemaal overkomen en we zijn klaar voor de release. Uiteraard gebeurd dat niet op stel en sprong, maar dat zal -heel- snel nu gebeuren. 7.1 zal 2009's ass kicken om te beginnen. Daarna zal een geweldige 8.0-release volgen later in het jaar. Dit belooft een schitterend jaar te worden voor ons in het FreeBSD development team, maar uiteraard ook voor de gebruikers!

En nu... de adem inhouden en "Oeeee ahhh" zeggen wanneer de release eenmaal daar is!

Veel plezier!
