FreeBSD 10 Release Schedule

The FreeBSD 10 release schedule is now available. When reading the schedule, keep in mind that the dates are guidelines rather than hard dates. For example, if show-stopper issues are found during the BETA or RC phases, the dates will slip depending upon the amount of time it takes to fix the issue. You can assist in this release by downloading and testing the latest image and reporting any bugs. As of today, the latest testing image is ALPHA2.

Some of the highlights in this release can be found in the What's New for FreeBSD 10 wiki page. Over the next few months we'll have blog posts describing some of the new features.
