\nIn working toward the stable FreeBSD 15.1<\/a> release in early June, FreeBSD 15.1 Beta 3 is out this weekend as the latest weekly test candidate.<\/p>\n

FreeBSD 15.1 is bringing a number of device driver updates for newer hardware support, continued virtualization enhancements, DTrace probes support on PowerPC architectures, the sched_ule scheduler is now implemented as a scheduler instance, removal of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure build targets, and a variety of packaged software updates. One of the much anticipated features for FreeBSD 15.1 was a KDE desktop option in the installer<\/a> but, unfortunately, that’s been diverted to FreeBSD 15.2<\/a>. <\/p>\n

New with this week’s FreeBSD 15.1 Beta 3 is upgrading to OpenZFS 2.4.2. OpenZFS 2.4.2 released this past week<\/a> with a variety of fixes and minor enhancements. <\/p>\n

The FreeBSD 15.1 Cloud images are also now set to run pkg upgrade on first boot for applying any necessary security updates to the base system. <\/p>\n

This third beta of FreeBSD 15.1 also updates Kerberos and also the scripted bsdinstall installations are now using pkgbase. <\/p>\n

FreeBSD 15.1-BETA3 downloads and more details on this development milestone can be found from the FreeBSD mailing list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Expected next week is the FreeBSD 15.1 release candidate as the final milestone before the FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE around 2 June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In working toward the stable FreeBSD 15.1 release in early June, FreeBSD 15.1 Beta 3 is out this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453014,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7165,61,60,7164,7162,7161,7168,7166,7163,7167,7160,7171,80,7169,7170],"class_list":["post-453013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-desktop-linux","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-linux-benchmarking","tag-linux-hardware-benchmarks","tag-linux-hardware-reviews","tag-linux-how-to","tag-linux-performance","tag-linux-server-benchmarks","tag-open-source-graphics","tag-phoronix","tag-phoronix-test-suite","tag-technology","tag-ubuntu-benchmarks","tag-ubuntu-hardware"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453013\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
