FreeBSD 14.2 Beta 1 is out today as the first tagged test snapshot in working toward this newest FreeBSD 14 point release.

FreeBSD 14.2 is back-porting various fixes, hardware driver improvements for new devices, and other package updates. But given this being the first, early stage test snapshot toward FreeBSD 14.2, the current [1]R14.2 release notes are currently empty for outlining the changes.
