FreeBSD 14.2

The FreeBSD team have announced the release of FreeBSD 14.2. The new release includes several minor changes, mostly in th erealm of updated hardware drivers, an update to OpenZFS 2.2.6, and a reduction in size to the boot loader. "The BIOS boot loader added back support for gzip and bzip2, but removed support for graphics mode (by default) to address size problems. (The EFI boot loader is unchanged with support for all of those. Sponsored by Netflix.) Lots of improvements to the network stack, including performance improvements and bug fixes for the sctp(4) stack. Descriptors returned by sctp_peeloff(2) now inherit capabilities from the parent socket. (Sponsored by The FreeBSD Foundation.) AIM(Adaptive Interrupt Moderation) support has been added to the igc(4) driver. 472a0ccf847a (Sponsored by Rubicon Communications, LLC 'Netgate' and BBOX.io.) This feature has also been added to the lem(4), em(4) and igb(4) drivers. A major regression in UDP performance introduced in FreeBSD 12.0, including NFS over UDP, is believed to be fixed with this change. 49f12d5b38f6 (Sponsored by Rubicon Communications, LLC 'Netgate"' and BBOX.io.) The LinuxKPI, particularly for 802.11, has been enhanced to improve the stability of wireless drivers such as iwlwifi(4). (Sponsored by The FreeBSD Foundation.)"

MidnightBSD 3.2.0

MidnightBSD is a FreeBSD-derived operating system. A critical goal of the project is to create an easy-to-use desktop environment with graphical ports management. The project has published a new update, MidnightBSD 3.2.0, which introduces Ravenports: "Ravenports is available in MidnightBSD for the amd64 architecture. The initial installation process will prompt you to bootstrap Ravenports. This will initialize it in /raven/, and you will be able to install software packages using /raven/sbin/ravensw. By default, /raven/bin, /raven/sbin, and so on are not on the path. You can add them to the path to make running software in your shell easier. Please visit their website to learn more about Ravenports and find quickstart guides. You can choose either mports or Ravenports at installation time or use packages from both systems. Please note that mixing packages may have some complications, although they are installed in a completely different place from mports. There are various benefits to Ravenports, but a few are more updated packages and quite a few unique packages that mports doesn’t provide currently. For example, Ravenports has an updated Firefox package available. You will not see Ravenports presented as an option on an i386 install."
