FreeBSD 5.3 RC2 Released

Posted by Hemos on Monday November 1, 2004 @02:40AM from the let-the-candidates-be-released dept.

ValiantSoul writes "FreeBSD 5.3 Release Candidate 2 was just released. This new RC includes an updated network stack that fixes a bug where the system stops responding when under severe network load, the complete disabling of the ULE scheduler due to instability, and other fixes. Originally the FreeBSD team decided not to release a RC 2 however the fixes in the latest CURRENT were important enough to do so. As long as there are no severe problems with RC 2, this will be the last test release until a final one. See the full announcement on the mailing lists."

I always had the impression that FreeBSD has gathered one of the most professional teams around an open source project of this scale. They focus on delivering a high quality operating system, and that's seemingly the only rationale behind engineering decisions. I like that attitude.
Maybe that is why it works out so well ?
