FreeBSD 15.0-RC1 had been expected this weekend but instead a fifth beta release of [1]FreeBSD 15.0 was deemed warranted.
FreeBSD !5.0-BETA5 is now available with the RC1 build sleeping to next week. The release management team is still hoping to have FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE out at the beginning of December by hopefully removing the last two release candidates (RC3 and RC4).
FreeBSD 15.0 Beta 5 brings fixes to image building for the Google Compute Engine and Microsoft Azure clouds. Plus there are OpenSSL and libarchive updates as well as other bug fixes:
o Libarchive update to 3.8.2.
o OpenSSL update to 3.5.4.
o Fixes to Google Compute Engine and Azure image building.
o Bug fixes in FUSE, NFS, ipfw, and pf.
o Numerous man page updates.
