Other news
EuroBSDcon 2013 Developer Summit Report
A special status report on the EuroBSDcon 2013 FreeBSD Developer Summit is now available with 13 entries.
DragonFly BSD: Binutils update to 2.24
John Marino has moved DragonFly from binutils 2.22 to 2.24. I think this may require a full buildworld when upgrading… not sure. Anyway, binutils has a changelog if you are curious.
DragonFly BSD: ISA support is really gone
ISA device support is really gone. Well, except for keyboard and some spots where it can’t be be removed. I don’t think I’ve even seen an ISA card in some years…
DragonFly BSD: Go APE for bge and bnx
The bnx(4) and bge(4) network drivers now have APE support, thanks to Sepherosa Ziehau. What’s that mean? Other than an opportunity for punning jokes, I don’t know.
“We cannot trust” Intel and Via’s chip-based crypto, FreeBSD developers say
Developers of the FreeBSD operating system will no longer allow users to trust processors manufactured by Intel and Via Technologies as the sole source of random numbers needed to generate cryptographic keys that can't easily be cracked by government spies and other adversaries.

Kickin' NAS | BSD Now 15
We'll be looking at the new version of FreeNAS, a BSD-based network attached storage solution, as well as talking to Josh Paetzel - one of the key developers of FreeNAS. Actually, he's on the FreeBSD release engineering team too, and does quite a lot for the project. We've got answers to viewer-submitted questions and plenty of news to cover, so get ready for some BSD Now - the place to B.. SD.
