FreeBSD 9.0 Goes Into Beta

"Per the FreeBSD 9.0 release process, the first beta snapshot was expected to be out on the 20th of July. More than a week later, the ISO images for the various architectures are now being found on mirrors (e.g. here), but no official release announcement for FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 has yet been found.

The release process also had a second beta planned for the 3rd of August, but that will surely be delayed due to the late availability of beta 1. This process also had a third beta due in mid August and then two release candidates in late August. The FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE build was expected to be completed on the 7th of September. Due to the late arrival of FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1, this final release date may be pushed back but at least it still will hopefully be on track for a christening in September.
