The third beta of FreeBSD 7.0 has been released. I cannot seem to find any information on changes between the second beta and this one. Additionally, the release schedule doesn't even list a third beta.

The last minute import of a few things caused RELENG_7 to regress in alot of places. The quick builds are because it's still not known if 6.3 or 7.0 will be released first. The goal being to get 7.0-RELEASE out before January 1st, if showstoppers keep popping up out of nowhere like they have been, it won't be the case.

Nice story, but did you actually read any of the mailing lists?
>The last minute import of a few things caused RELENG_7 to regress in alot of places.
This is absolute nonsense! Neither there were last minute imports nor is there regress in *a lot* of places.
Everybody can read it of course,

Huh? Maybe you should start your urband legends in kindergarten. There are of course *bugs* but hardly showstoppers. If you're a tester, you should maybe check your hardware first.

Download and install BETA2, then use csup to update to the newest version, believe me, many things have been changed/fixed.
"Additionally, the release schedule doesn't even list a third beta."
Yes, sometimes schedule does not show much while things continue to happen behind the curtains, always check FreeBSD mailing lists for that: http://lists.freebsd.org
6.3-RELEASE will be released shortly after 7.0-RELEASE, its actually in BETA2 stage, but the schedule page for 6.3-RELEASE does not even exist: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.3R/schedule.html
