Has it been announced anywhere? Downloads have been available for some days. Generally advice from those who know is not to assume it's available until the announcement because changes could still be made.

Then there must be a reason that the announce@ mailinglist exists., now I wonder what is periodically send there, to not overload the many other mailinglists? :-) Ofcourse thanks for bringing it to the attention, but do realise that announce is the way to go for these kind of things..

What I am wondering is why the release iso have been renamed. The path and file name was to long before and now with 8.1 some fool added the word Freebsd to it. What on earth for? How many times does the word freebsd have to be in the path/name? Wish somebody would supervise the worker bees so they don't go changing thing on their own. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

That was because a lot of people with a different opinion about this complained, so that re@ was persuaded to make the change: Revision 200775 - (view) (annotate) - [select for diffs] Modified Mon Dec 21 14:42:35 2009 UTC (7 months ago) by kensmith File length: 45736 byte(s) Diff to previous 197313 Add FreeBSD- to the beginning of the filenames for the ISO images. People who collect ISOs from more than just us have been requesting this for a while. MFC after: 1 week It seems reasonable to me, even if it does require a few (possibly annoying) one-time-only adjustments for some people. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
