\"BSD\"
\nFreeBSD 15.1 was supposed to be out at the start of June but a second release candidate pushed it back by a week<\/a> and now a third needed release candidate has pushed out the stable release by an additional week.<\/p>\n

Last week’s FreeBSD 15.1-RC2 release brought a few minor fixes and updates while this third release candidate is more pressing for x86\/amd64 users. The only listed change with RC3 are for “critical” bug-fixes in the boot loader \/ kernel handover code: <\/p>\n

“Critical bug fixes to the x86 boot loader \/ kernel handoff which can cause the boot to hang; this seems to happen most often but not exclusively when Intel microcode updates are being loaded.”
\n
That’s the only listed change with today’s FreeBSD 15.1-RC3 announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Due to two unforeseen release candidates, FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE is now scheduled to happen on 16 June barring any furhter interruptions to the release cycle. 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, updated OpenZFS file-system support, and a variety of packaged software updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FreeBSD 15.1 was supposed to be out at the start of June but a second release candidate pushed…\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-486927","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\/486927","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=486927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486927\/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=486927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
