FreeBSD releases are classified into Production Releases and Legacy Releases. Production releases are best suited to users looking for the latest new features. Legacy releases are for users wishing to stay with a more conservative upgrade strategy.
Documentation files for each release are available for viewing in HTML format on the Release Documentation page.
Complete information about the release date and the estimated End-Of-Life (EOL) for currently supported releases can be found on the Supported Releases section of the FreeBSD Security Information page.

Release Engineering
This document details the approach used by the FreeBSD release
engineering team to make production-quality releases of the
FreeBSD Operating System. It describes the tools available
for those interested in producing customized FreeBSD releases
for corporate rollouts or commercial
productization.
The primary release engineering team is responsible for approving MFC requests during code freezes, setting release schedules, and all of the other responsibilities laid out in our charter.
Primary RE Team (re@FreeBSD.org) : &a.re.members; form the primary release engineering decision-making group.
The builders release engineering team is responsible for building and packaging FreeBSD releases on the various supported platforms.
Builders REs (re-builders@FreeBSD.org) : &a.re-builders;
The third party packages in the Ports Collection are managed by the portmgr@ team. Among many other responsibilities, the port managers keep the ports cluster running smoothly to produce binary packages.
Package Builders (&contact.portmgr;) : &a.portmgr.members;
The &os; Project does not maintain a complete archive of old release ISO images, but many of them are available at ftp://ftp-archive.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/.
Older releases that are no longer present on any FTP mirror might still be available from CD-ROM vendors.

This page will provide information about what to do in the event of a security vulnerability affecting your system
FreeBSD security issues specific to the base system should be reported via email to the FreeBSD Security Team or, if a higher level of confidentiality is required, via PGP encrypted email to the Security Officer Team using the Security Officer PGP key. Additional information can be found at the reporting FreeBSD security incidents page.
A full list of all security vulnerabilities affecting the base system can be found on this page.
Advisories affecting the base system are sent to the following mailing lists:
The list of released advisories can be found on the FreeBSD Security Advisories page.
Advisories are always signed using the FreeBSD Security Officer PGP key and are archived, along with their associated patches, at the http://security.FreeBSD.org/ web server in the advisories and patches subdirectories.
The FreeBSD Security Officer provides security advisories for -STABLE Branches and the Security Branches. (Advisories are not issued for the -CURRENT Branch, which is primarily oriented towards &os; developers.)
The -STABLE branch tags have names like stable/10. The corresponding builds have names like FreeBSD 10.1-STABLE.
Each FreeBSD Release has an associated Security Branch. The Security Branch tags have names like releng/10.1. The corresponding builds have names like FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p4.
Issues affecting the FreeBSD Ports Collection are covered separately in the FreeBSD VuXML document.
For users that have previously installed a binary version of &os; (e.g., &rel.current; or &rel2.current;), commands:
# freebsd-update fetchIf that fails, follow the other instructions in the security advisory you care about.
Note that the above procedure is only for users who have previously installed a binary distribution. Those who have built from source will need to update their source tree to upgrade.
Each release is supported by the Security Officer for a limited time only.
The designation and expected lifetime of all currently supported branches and their respective releases are given below. The Expected EoL (end-of-life) column indicates the earliest date on which support for that branch or release will end. Please note that these dates may be pushed back if circumstances warrant it.
Older releases are not supported and users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to one of these supported releases:
Branch | Release | Type | Release Date | Expected EoL |
---|---|---|---|---|
stable/10 | n/a | n/a | n/a | October 31, 2018 |
releng/10.3 | -10.3-RELEASE | -Extended | -April 4, 2016 | -April 30, 2018 | -
releng/10.4 | 10.4-RELEASE | Normal | October 3, 2017 | October 31, 2018 |
stable/11 | n/a | n/a | n/a | September 30, 2021 |
releng/11.1 | 11.1-RELEASE | n/a | July 26, 2017 | 11.2-RELEASE + 3 months |
In the run-up to a release, a number of -BETA and -RC releases may be published for testing purposes. These releases are only supported for a few weeks, as resources permit, and will not be listed as supported on this page. Users are strongly discouraged from running these releases on production systems.
Effective &os; 11.0-RELEASE, the support model has been changed to allow more rapid development while also providing timely security updates for all supported releases.
Under the new support model, each major version's stable branch is explicitly supported for 5 years, while each individual point release is only supported for three months after the next point release.
The details and rationale behind this change can be found in the official announcement sent in February 2015.
Previously, branches were designated as either Normal or Extended. The designation was used as a guideline for determining the lifetime of the branch as follows:
