General Notes Regarding Future FreeBSD Releases
Introduction
This document contains the release notes for FreeBSD 14.5-RELEASE. It describes
recently added, changed, or deleted features of FreeBSD. It also provides some
notes on upgrading from previous versions of FreeBSD.
The "release" distribution to which these release notes apply represents the
latest point along the 14-STABLE development branch since 14-STABLE was created.
Information regarding pre-built, binary "release" distributions along this
branch can be found at https://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/.
The "release" distribution to which these release notes apply represents a point
along the 14-STABLE development branch between 14.4-RELEASE and the future
14.6-RELEASE. Information regarding pre-built, binary "release" distributions
along this branch can be found at https://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/.
This distribution of FreeBSD 14.5-RELEASE is a "release" distribution. It can be
found at https://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/ or any of its mirrors. More
information on obtaining this (or other) "release" distributions of FreeBSD can
be found in the Obtaining FreeBSD appendix to the FreeBSD Handbook.
All users are encouraged to consult the release errata before installing
FreeBSD. The errata document is updated with "late-breaking" information
discovered late in the release cycle or after the release. Typically, it
contains information on known bugs, security advisories, and corrections
to documentation. An up-to-date copy of the errata for FreeBSD 14.5-RELEASE
can be found on the FreeBSD Web site.
This document describes the most user-visible new or changed features in FreeBSD
since 14.4-RELEASE. In general, changes described here are unique to the
14-STABLE branch unless specifically marked as MERGED features.
Typical release note items document recent security advisories issued after
14.4-RELEASE, new drivers or hardware support, new commands or options, major
bug fixes, or contributed software upgrades. They may also list changes to
major ports/packages or release engineering practices. Clearly the release
notes cannot list every single change made to FreeBSD between releases;
this document focuses primarily on security advisories, user-visible changes,
and major architectural improvements.
Upgrading from Previous Releases of FreeBSD
Binary upgrades between RELEASE versions (and snapshots of the various security
branches) are supported using the freebsd-update(8) utility. See the
release-specific upgrade procedure, FreeBSD 14.5-RELEASE upgrade information,
with more details in the FreeBSD handbook binary upgrade procedure. This will
update unmodified userland utilities, as well as unmodified GENERIC kernels
distributed as a part of an official FreeBSD release. The freebsd-update(8)
utility requires that the host being upgraded have Internet connectivity.
Source-based upgrades (those based on recompiling the FreeBSD base system from
source code) from previous versions are supported, according to the instructions
in /usr/src/UPDATING.
