Recebi um mensagem sobre o novo a versão 7.1 estar finalmente pronta na lista da FUGBR (FreeBSD User Group)nesse fim de semana. Meu cvsup não mostrou nada de novo.
Após uma olhada mais detalhada, vi que faltava alterar o arquivo de configuração para:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7_1
Isso foi suficiente para baixar a versão 7.1 completa (eu estava com a versão 7 STABLE anteriormente). Já no UPDATES, pude verificar:
20090106: FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE
O engraçado foi que atualizei via cvsup no dia 03. Mas enfim... fiz um make world e...

Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE Available
The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE. This is
the second release from the 7-STABLE branch which improves on the functionality of FreeBSD 7.0 and introduces
some new features.
Some of the highlights:
- The ULE scheduler is now the default in GENERIC kernels for amd64 and i386 architectures. The ULE scheduler
significantly improves performance on multicore systems for many workloads.
- Support for using DTrace inside the kernel has been imported from OpenSolaris. DTrace is a comprehensive
dynamic tracing framework.
- A new and much-improved NFS Lock Manager (NLM) client.
- Boot loader changes allow, among other things, booting from USB devices and booting from GPT-labeled devices
- The cpuset(2) system call and cpuset(1) command have been added, providing an API for thread to CPU binding
and CPU resource grouping and assignment.
- KDE updated to 3.5.10, GNOME updated to 2.22.3.
- DVD-sized media for the amd64 and i386 architectures
For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the online release notes and errata list, available at:

Eu até agora não notei muita diferença, uma vez que já tinha alterado o escalonador pra ULE desde a instalação do 7.0, mas aparentemente os travamentos no boot, ao iniciar o dual-core via ACPI, pararam.
