Release notes for FreeBSD 15.0.
|
|
|
|
This file describes new user-visible features, changes and updates relevant to
|
|
users of binary FreeBSD releases. Each entry should describe the change in no
|
|
more than several sentences and should reference manual pages where an
|
|
interested user can find more information. Entries should wrap after 80
|
|
columns. Each entry should begin with one or more commit IDs on one line,
|
|
specified as a comma separated list and/or range, followed by a colon and a
|
|
newline. Entries should be separated by a newline.
|
|
|
|
Changes to this file should not be MFCed.

c5359e2af5ab:
|
|
bhyve(8) has a new network backend, "slirp", which makes use of the
|
|
libslirp package to provide a userspace network stack. This backend
|
|
makes it possible to access the guest network from the host without
|
|
requiring any extra network configuration on the host.

|
|
Set the IUTF8 flag by default in tty(4).
|
|
|
|
128f63cedc14 and 9e589b093857 added proper UTF-8 backspacing handling
|
|
in the tty(4) driver, which is enabled by setting the new IUTF8 flag
|
|
through stty(1). Since the default locale is UTF-8, enable IUTF8 by
|
|
default.

|
|
dialog(1) has been replaced by bsddialog(1)

|
|
FreeBSD 15.0 will not include support for 32-bit platforms.
|
|
However, 64-bit systems will still be able to run older 32-bit
|
|
binaries.
|
|
|
|
Support for executing 32-bit binaries on 64-bit platforms via
|
|
COMPAT_FREEBSD32 will remain supported for at least the
|
|
stable/15 and stable/16 branches.
|
|
|
|
Support for compiling individual 32-bit applications via
|
|
`cc -m32` will also be supported for at least the stable/15
|
|
branch which includes suitable headers in /usr/include and
|
|
libraries in /usr/lib32.
|
|
|
|
Support for 32-bit platforms in ports for 15.0 and later
|
|
releases is also deprecated, and these future releases may not
|
|
include binary packages for 32-bit platforms or support for
|
|
building 32-bit applications from ports.
|
|
|
|
stable/14 and earlier branches will retain existing 32-bit
|
|
kernel and world support. Ports will retain existing support
|
|
for building ports and packages for 32-bit systems on stable/14
|
|
and earlier branches as long as those branches are supported
|
|
by the ports system. However, all 32-bit platforms are Tier-2
|
|
or Tier-3 and support for individual ports should be expected
|
|
to degrade as upstreams deprecate 32-bit platforms.
|
|
|
|
With the current support schedule, stable/14 will be EOLed 5
|
|
years after the release of 14.0. The EOL of stable/14 would
|
|
mark the end of support for 32-bit platforms including source
|
|
releases, pre-built packages, and support for building
|
|
applications from ports. Given an estimated release date of
|
|
October 2023 for 14.0, support for 32-bit platforms would end
|
|
in October 2028.
|
|
|
|
The project may choose to alter this approach when 15.0 is
|
|
released by extending some level of 32-bit support for one or
|
|
more platforms in 15.0 or later. Users should use the
|
|
stable/14 branch to migrate off of 32-bit platforms.
