Some like to wait until x.1 for production use, but FreeBSD development tends to be a good deal more conservative than Linux, and is usually already pretty solid for the x.0 release. They've also been more incremental with changes between major versions since the major SMP additions in versions 5-7.
Since it's not in the announcement or linked directly from the website itself, here's what's new in 10.0:

- PhantomGremlin 13y agoSince it's not in the announcement or linked directly from the website itself Bingo! Thanks for that. The FIRST thought I had when visiting the FreeBSD website was "what are the differences between these versions?". Why would I choose one or the other? Simply calling them "Production", "Legacy", and "Upcoming" is IMO a special type of stupid. Or, stated slightly more kindly, it's the classic stereotype of Programmers and Asperger's syndrome. They know all the differences between versions, and it's inconceivable to them that there are still people in the world who don't. Fortunately, someone created a wiki to enlighten those remaining few people. Based on the above, I predict that FreeBSD 11.0 will be the pinnacle of OS achievement. After all, it'll be when FreeBSD "goes up to eleven", which is clearly one better than ten.
