The holiday comes to us, tonight FreeBSD 7.2 came out!
Congratulations to all FreeBSD users for finally releasing version 7.2!
Last night, after making cvsup, I discovered that the system version was 7.2-RELEASE, which was earlier than the planned release date for a couple of days.
The images of the disks on the FTP appeared only tonight, and more precisely in the morning by the time of Moscow time, although the date of the change is May 1st.
What are the key changes that were made in 7.2 can be viewed at the link , I note only the most interesting (IMHO):
Detailed list of changes
List of supported equipment
Also yesterday, the newsletter announced changes in the end-of-life cycle of the FreeBSD Security Officer as follows:

At this point in time, support for different branches is as follows:
RC2 is still on the Russian mirrors ... but 7.2 images can be pulled from the wizard, and it's easier to make cvsup to RELENG_7_2 and you will be happy :)

- Multi IP support for jails! finally they did it. Now you can use several IP addresses in the same jail as ipv4 and ipv6 or even do without them.
- For amd64, virtual kernel address space increased to 6GB
