Unexpected! FreeBSD 15.0 Alpha 5 is now live!

The fifth alpha version of FreeBSD 15.0, ALPHA5, is now live and available for download to the public for those who like testing pre-release operating systems. This is unexpected, especially as it has been originally planned to release just four alpha versions. This version of FreeBSD aims to be more welcoming to new users and to maintain the reproducible builds, alongside many improvements to come.

The ISO images can now be downloaded using the below button. It will take you to the file list that lets you select what kind of image you want to download, in terms of architecture, install source, and image type.

The release schedule for FreeBSD 15.0, which describes the expected deadlines to meet for every release stage, such as the first beta which will be released next week, can be located here.

FreeBSD 15.0 brings security fixes and other fixes to essential and other system components to ensure that both stability and security are guaranteed. It also introduces new features, such as, but not limited to:

• The adduser(8) utility, used by bsdinstall(8), will now create a ZFS dataset for a new user’s home directory if the parent directory resides on a ZFS dataset. A command-line option is available to disable use of a separate dataset. ZFS encryption is also available.
• The usbconfig(8) utility now reads the descriptions of usb vendor and products from /usr/share/misc/usb_vendors when available, similar to what pciconf(8) does.
• The date(1) program now supports nanoseconds. For example: date -Ins prints “2024-04-22T12:20:28,763742224+02:00” and date +%N prints “415050400”.
• Add flags to filter jail prison and vnet variables in sysctl(8) output. So users do not have to contact the source code to tell whether a variable is a jail prison / vnet one or not.

Additionally, updates to various programs, such as OpenSSH and OpenSSL, have been integrated to the FreeBSD 15.0 release, making it more secure and reliable. The kernel has also been tweaked to add support for more devices and to incorporate general improvements. FreeBSD 15.0 now supports reproducible builds since Alpha 2.

The below release notes can be found here, though it’s work in progress.

I am sad and trying to feel better and this is what I am trying to do to distract my mind.

Try out all the operating systems I can get my hands on. #linux, #bsd, whatever else.
