Hi,

=C2=A0<= /p>

I have a suggestion to add to

https://www.freebsd.org/rele= ases/14.1R/schedule/

at the Introduction section:

--

Announcements of pre-releases, such as 14.1-BETA1 and 14.1-RC1, and available installatio= n images are made on the <freebsd-stable> mailing list. 14.1-RELEASE wi= ll be announced on <freebsd-announce> and elsewhere.

--

=C2=A0<= span style=3D"font-size:11pt">=C2=A0=C2=A0

Maybe helpful because:

- Avoids unnec= essary failed probes such as "freebsd-update -r 14.1-RC1 upgrade"=

After the version jump of source:

https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?h=3Dreleng/1= 4.1&id=3D4de43de58f519f5c7a68925ecadc77cdf37f9f30

it may take some time until binaries have all been made available; because for example:=

https://cgit.freebsd.org= /doc/commit/?id=3Daf4faed610

=C2=A0<= /p>

- Emphasizes promotion and use of pre-release versions (and efficient use of FreeBSD mailing lists).

It may well not be immediately clear to FreeBSD novices in general and users not famili= ar with -STABLE in particular, anxiously awaiting a pre-release version, that = the stable mailing list is used for these announcements.

=C2=A0<= /p>

- The FreeBSD Handbook currently does not mention that announcements of pre-relea= ses are made on the stable mailing list.

=C2=A0<= /p>

Kind regards,

Eric
