Hi,

According to the Release Schedule for FreeBSD 7.1 it is a few months behind.  
I know that FreeBSD 7.1 will not be released until it is working properly,

If someone could take the time to answer me I would appreciate it.

IMHO, if they are waiting until FBSD-7.1 can be certified as 'bug free', then 
it might never be released. However, if they are simply waiting to insure that 
all known bugs are squashed, then it probably won't be too much longer.

Personally, I think the fact that the latest version of Perl has been out for 
nearly a year now and yet there is no sign of it in the ports system.

Generally speaking, the easiest way to find out when a release is really likely 
to get out the door is probably to check the GNATS system for major bugs and 
follow the goings-on over on the stable, hackers, and other 
development-oriented mailing lists.  There hasn't been an RC for 7 yet, so it 
still has a ways to go.  6.4-R will probably be out the door in a matter of 
weeks, as RC2 just got tagged a couple of days ago.  Hint: look for kensmith 
commits to newvers.sh for a much quicker heads-up on activity than you'll get 
from the schedule on the website.  ;)
