There was a talk + slides about WhatsApp FreeBSD usage [1, 2].
At around 23:50 in the video, Rick Reed talks about slide #17, they say they are running 9.1 - 9.3, and looking at 10.1 (not in a hurry as 9 works for them).

- barkingcat 12y ago-CURRENT is not a single version number - it refers to a development branch. If someone says CURRENT is version xx, then they don't really know what they are talking about - because while CURRENT may become a versioned release down the line, that is very different from what -CURRENT represents (which is a named tree in source control that people develop against) All of those freebsd versions you refer to (9, 10) are part of the production release cycles and thus are not -CURRENT. If whatsapp uses 10.1, then they are NOT using -CURRENT
- WestCoastJustin 12y agoYeah, I think we are both thinking the same thing. I put the links, and version numbers, in support of tptacek's thought that they were not using -CURRENT.
