Sam Sheridan recently shared his experience upgrading an 11-year-old FreeBSD deployment. It’s a strong example of the Project’s long-term stability and the ability to carry systems forward across multiple major releases with confidence.

Thank you, Sam, for documenting this work. buff.ly/BBadpkG

The still in the works Release Notes for upcoming FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE are the first one to have a Table of Contents.

Just like FreeBSD Quarterly Status Reports.

Another nice improvement.

Everytime other time you refresh the still in the works FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE Release Notes page - freebsd.org/releases/15.... - the name on the bottom of the page changes.

That means only one thing.

There will not be any more RCs ... RELEASE is on the way.
