Glen Barber has announced the first release candidate build for the FreeBSD 9.2 release cycle:

" The first release candidate builds of the 9.2-RELEASE release cycle are now available on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, powerpc64, and sparc64 architectures. Changes between -BETA2 and -RC1 include: Expand the list of devices claimed by cxgbe(4); Fix a panic in the racct code when munlock(2) is called with incorrect values; Remove ctl(4) from GENERIC. ctladm(8) now automatically loads the corresponding module as necessary - This reduces the default memory footprint and allows FreeBSD to work on i386 machines with 128 MB of RAM out of the box; Fix zfs send -D hang after processing requiring a CTRL+C to interrupt."
