Rate this project
|
Ken Smith has announced the availability of the first beta release of FreeBSD 7.0: "We have entered the final phases of the FreeBSD 7.0 Release cycle which also means the beginning of the FreeBSD-6.3 Release cycle. Because the people who support the ports for FreeBSD also need to go through a freeze cycle as part of releases we had decided to combine the two releases to try and minimize the impact on the ports maintainers. The 7.0-BETA1 builds have completed and are on many of the FreeBSD mirror sites. If you want to update an existing machine using cvsup use RELENG_7 as the branch tag. Instructions on using FreeBSD Update to perform a binary upgrade from FreeBSD 6.x to 7.0-BETA1 will be provided via the freebsd-stable list when available." Here is the complete release announcement.

| About FreeBSD
|
| FreeBSD is a UNIX-like operating system for the i386, amd64, IA-64, arm, MIPS, powerpc, ppc64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC platforms based on U.C. Berkeley's "4.4BSD-Lite" release, with some "4.4BSD-Lite2" enhancements. It is also based indirectly on William Jolitz's port of U.C. Berkeley's "Net/2" to the i386, known as "386BSD", though very little of the 386BSD code remains. FreeBSD is used by companies, Internet Service Providers, researchers, computer professionals, students and home users all over the world in their work, education and recreation. FreeBSD comes with over 20,000 packages (pre-compiled software that is bundled for easy installation), covering a wide range of areas: from server software, databases and web servers, to desktop software, games, web browsers and business software - all free and easy to install.

Colin Percival has sent out an announcement that the FreeBSD team has released a new development build, FreeBSD 14.3-BETA2. The snapshot includes several bug fixes, particularly surrounding wireless networking: "The second beta build of the 14.3-RELEASE release cycle is now available. If you notice problems you can report them through the Bugzilla PR system or on the -stable mailing list. If you would like to use Git to do a source based update of an existing system, use the 'releng/14.3' branch. A summary of changes since BETA1 includes: multiple wifi-related bug fixes; a 'tcp_do_segment: sent too much' KASSERT will no longer trigger under certain circumstances; nuageinit now supports chpasswd; xz has been updated to 5.8.1; setting invalid VM sysctl values fails rather than causing a kernel panic; mountd(8) now reloads the exports(5) file properly; the arm64 kernel.bin file builds reproducible with respect to local; the in_systm.h and bpf.h headers are now self-contained."

BSD Release: FreeBSD 13.5 |

Colin Percival has announced the availability of FreeBSD 13.5, the final maintenance release of the project's legacy "stable/13" branch: "The FreeBSD Release Engineering team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 13.5-RELEASE.

As such, changes since 13.4-RELEASE consist mostly of bug fixes, driver updates, and new versions of externally-maintained software. FreeBSD 13.5-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, aarch64, armv6, armv7, powerpc, powerpc64, powerpc64le, powerpcspe and riscv64 architectures.

BSD Release: FreeBSD 14.2 |
|
The FreeBSD team have announced the release of FreeBSD 14.2. The new release includes several minor changes, mostly in the realm of updated hardware drivers, an update to OpenZFS 2.2.6, and a reduction in size to the boot loader. "The BIOS boot loader added back support for gzip and bzip2, but removed support for graphics mode (by default) to address size problems; the EFI boot loader is unchanged with support for all of those; lots of improvements to the network stack, including performance improvements and bug fixes for the sctp(4) stack; descriptors returned by sctp_peeloff(2) now inherit capabilities from the parent socket; AIM (Adaptive Interrupt Moderation) support has been added to the igc(4) driver, this feature has also been added to the lem(4), em(4) and igb(4) drivers; a major regression in UDP performance introduced in FreeBSD 12.0, including NFS over UDP, is believed to be fixed with this change; the LinuxKPI, particularly for 802.11, has been enhanced to improve the stability of wireless drivers such as iwlwifi(4)...."
