De leden van het FreeBSD Release Engineering Team hebben versie 15.0 van FreeBSD uitgebracht. FreeBSD is in 1993 ontstaan en wordt als één geheel ontwikkeld, in tegenstelling tot bijvoorbeeld Linux, waarvan de kernel door de ene groep ontwikkelaars wordt onderhouden en bepaalde applicaties weer door anderen. Hierdoor wordt FreeBSD over het algemeen als stabieler en robuuster beschouwd dan diverse andere besturingssystemen. Uitgebreide releasenotes kunnen op deze pagina worden gevonden. Dit zijn in het kort de belangrijkste veranderingen:
FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE AnnouncementThe FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE. This is the first release of the stable/15 branch. Some of the highlights:
- The FreeBSD "base" system can now be installed and managed using the pkg(8) package manager (see "Packaged base system" below).
- The FreeBSD 15.0 release artifacts (install images, VM images, etc.) were all generated without requiring root privilege.
- FreeBSD now has a native inotify implementation, simplifying directory watching and software porting.
- OpenZFS has been upgraded to 2.4.0-rc4.
- OpenSSL has been upgraded to the latest long-term support (LTS) version, 3.5.4, which includes support for QUIC and now standardized quantum-resistant algorithms, ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA.
- OpenSSH has been upgraded to 10.0p2 which includes support for quantum-resistant key agreement by default.
