As by the rules for CNAs, which curl is, we have to respond within 72 hours when asked for a CVE for a "Publicly Disclosed Vulnerability". This is counter to our summer of bliss of course.

We have never seen such a disclosed curl vuln in the past so chances are low they will happen while we go bliss. Should they still, we will just live with it and our root CNA will step in and we take the fall-out when we return to business.

#FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE is out!

There are too many people to thank individually here but big shout-outs go to:

Colin Percival, Release Engineer Extraordinaire and Professional Cat Herder. You wrangle the zoo like you were born to it.

The security team who rightly shoveled as many fixes from upstream projects and internal ones into this release so we don't have to patch it. Your efforts are substantial and gratefully appreciated.

srcmgr team who diagnosed and whipped up a fix for some of the weirdest boot loader issues I've seen in a long time.

ports team who had their bits in place for the release weeks ago, and we could use and test them all through the release cycle.

The docs team who made the release notes better than ever before, updated the website, tweaked the links, and finagled the manpages. The handbook never looked so good!

The clusteradm team who make pushing "the bits" out all over the world look like it was instant.

To the hundreds of committers and contributors who put time, energy, and love into this release, as always.

Sponsors from Fastly.com and Amazon.com who fund a lot of the speedy package updates and downloads we now enjoy, and the many sites around the world running donated hardware and network facilities, all over the globe.

A special thanks to contributors @markmcb and @thismarkp who worked for many months on the website redesign. Everybody who worked on the announcement is riffing off your work. It was a long time fermenting from within the system, and I'm very grateful for your patience.

And finally, to our RC testers who persevered through a longer-than-expected cycle, to give us another fine and well-polished release. We couldn't do this without you.
