FreeBSD 14.2 Beta 1 Released To Work Toward This Next Release

([BSD] 3 Hours Ago FreeBSD 14.2)


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.

The FreeBSD 14.2 [2]release schedule outlines the weekly beta releases followed by a release candidate at the end of November. If all goes well FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE will be out on/around 3 December.

Those wanting to try out FreeBSD 14.2 Beta 1 can find the fresh ISO images for various architectures via the [3]mailing list announcement .

FreeBSD 15.0 meanwhile as the next major FreeBSD release should be out [4]around the end of 2025 .

phoronix

A man is born gentle and weak.
At his death he is hard and stiff.
Green plants are tender and filled with sap.
At their death they are withered and dry.

Therefore the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death.
The gentle and yielding is the disciple of life.

Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle.
A tree that is unbending is easily broken.

The hard and strong will fall.
The soft and weak will overcome.
