Hash: SHA512

Dear FreeBSD community,

At 00:00 UTC, June 30, 2015, FreeBSD 8.4 will reach end-of-life and will no
longer be supported by the FreeBSD Security Team.  Users of FreeBSD 8.4
are strongly encouraged to upgrade to a newer release as soon as possible.

Due to a bug with freebsd-update(8) shipped with FreeBSD 8.x, we recommend
applying at least FreeBSD-EN-15:04.freebsd-update before upgrading.

The currently supported branches and releases and their expected
end-of-life dates are:
