<h1>Introduction</h1>
<p>This is a specific schedule for the release of FreeBSD 5.1. For
more general information about the release engineering process,
please see the <a href="&base;/releng/index.html">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">FreeBSD-qa</a> mailing list.
<a
href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/misc.html#DEFINE-MFC">MFC</a>
requests should be sent to <a
href="mailto:re@FreeBSD.org">re@FreeBSD.org</a>.</p>
<p>One of the major features of FreeBSD 5.1 will be further refinement of
the re-worked SMP support introduced in FreeBSD 5.0.</p>
<p>FreeBSD 5.1 will continue to be released from the 5-CURRENT development
stream. For more details about the milestones for reaching
5-STABLE, see the <a href="http://docs.freebsd.org/doc/5.1-RELEASE/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/5-roadmap/index.html">5-STABLE
Roadmap</a> page.</p>
<p>The current release engineering <a
href="&base;/releases/5.1R/todo.html">TODO list</a> is also available.
This list is updated periodically through the release cycle.</p>
