FreeBSD 4.5 Release Candidate 2 was released today. The fvwm2, unzip, and Gnome-Sawfish packages are not included on the ISO image due to build failures. This will be solved for the third (and hopefully final) release candidate. The final version is expected in 1-2 weeks from now. Testing guide is available.
