Release Information
===================
|FreeBSD Releases|
FreeBSD releases are classified into "Production Releases" and "Legacy
Releases". The former are best suited to users looking for the latest
new features; the latter are for users wishing to stay with a more
conservative upgrade strategy.
Releases are further classified by the length of time they will be
supported by the Security Officer into "Normal" and "Extended" releases.
Documentation files for each release are available for viewing in HTML
format on the `Release Documentation <../relnotes.html>`__ page.
Currently Supported Releases
----------------------------
Complete information about the release date, the classification type,
and the estimated End-Of-Life (EOL) for currently supported releases can
be found on the `Supported Releases <../security/security.html#sup>`__
section of the `FreeBSD Security
Information <../security/security.html>`__ page.
