The project's latest release is version 24.07.1 which now draws on FreeBSD's base system packages - low-level components built the same way as third-party packages. "This release, though a bit delayed, brings a significant change. We have transitioned from building our OS packages from our OS ports to building them from FreeBSD PKGBSD. This change, while involving extensive testing, promises improved performance and stability. If you have not updated to 24.04.2, a backup and reinstallation with 24.07.1 is recommended. Please note that the change to PKGBSD and the OS update to 24.07.1 could cause issues, as the update manager was only set to upgrade GhostBSD to PKGBSD from a minor version. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." A full list of changes is presented in the project's release announcement. SHA256, pkglist): GhostBSD-24.07.1.iso (2,654MB, torrent), GhostBSD-24.07.1-XFCE.iso (2,647MB, torrent). |
