In the 2BSD line, the 2.8BSD tapes were the first ones to include a
kernel, both source and a bootable tape. This was an AT&T V7 kernel,
with a number of bug fixes; new features in use at Berkeley; performance
enhancements that were circulating to V7 in the licensee community; and
build system changes. Based on the TUHS archives, it contains none of
the V32 changes, however.
In addition to the source code analysis, Mike Karels relates the story
of how his group lost a customizes to V6 on a PDP-11/40 due to a disk
crash. Since V7 just came out and Bill Jolitz had just brought that up
elsewhere, they replaced their customized V6 with a V7 system, and that
base would eventually become 2.8BSD. (Quarter Century of Unix)
Given both lines of evidence, add a direct line from V7 Unix to 2.8BSD.
Also confirmed that the V6 line to 1BSD and 2BSD was appropriate. 1BSD
and 2BSD included ashell(1) and ex(1). ashell(1) was derived from v6
hell. ex(1) was an enhanced v6 ed. 2.8BSD included process control and
user-land utilities from 4.1BSD

The Quarter Century of Unix book said that 1BSD was released March 1979.
However, the 1BSD tape image that's on Kirk's historical unix collection has an
earlier date.
It was common practice, at the time, to create a new copy of the tape from the
master system when a new tape was to go out, so several different versions of
1BSD, etc were shipped from Berkerely. The date on the 1BSD tape in the Berkeley
archives on Kirk's DVD is dated in January 16 1979 on the label, and has dates
as late as Jan 29 (there's an UPDATE file that says this includes updates
through this date). Note this date as well.
2.11BSD was announced on March 14, 1991 in comp.bugs.2bsd by
Steven M. Schultz. The document has a 'revised January 1991'
date at the top.
Patch/1 in the official repo is dated March 31, 1991, and an identical copy of
it was posted to comp.bugs.2bsd on May 5, 1991. Patch 2 in 22 parts was likewise
posted May 18, 1991. This makes the Feb 1992 date too late. It's possible it's a
typo for Feb 1991 since that lines up with the announcement being 2 weeks
later. Without an extant copy of the 2.11 tape, however, it's hard to say for
sure. Go with the date we have the most independent, direct evidence for, which
is the announcement date.
