<h1>Introduction</h1>
<p>This is a specific schedule for the release of FreeBSD 5.0. For
more general information about the release engineering process,
please see the <a href="../../releng/index.html" shape="rect">Release
Engineering</a> section of the web site.</p>
<p>General discussions about the release engineering process or
quality assurance issues should be sent to the public <a href="mailto:freebsd-qa@FreeBSD.org" shape="rect">freebsd-qa</a> mailing list.
<a href="../../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/misc.html#DEFINE-MFC" shape="rect">MFC</a>
requests should be sent to <a href="mailto:re@FreeBSD.org" shape="rect">re@FreeBSD.org</a>.</p>
<p>One of the major new features of FreeBSD 5.0 will be completely
re-worked SMP support.</p>
<p>The current release engineering <a href="../../releases/5.0R/todo.html" shape="rect">TODO list</a> is also available.
