Introduction

This is a specific schedule for the release of FreeBSD 5.3. For more general information about the release engineering process, please see the Release Engineering section of the web site.

General discussions about the release engineering process or quality assurance issues should be sent to the public FreeBSD-qa mailing list. MFC requests should be sent to re@FreeBSD.org.

FreeBSD 5.3 will be the first release from the RELENG_5 branch and thus will also be the first 5-STABLE release.

The current release engineering TODO list is also available. This list is updated periodically through the release cycle.
