Releases
NetBSD 5.1.5 and 5.2.3 released
The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce NetBSD 5.1.5, the fifth security/bugfix update of the NetBSD 5.1 release branch, and NetBSD 5.2.3, the third security/bugfix update of the NetBSD 5.2 release branch. They represent a selected subset of fixes deemed important for security or stability reasons, and if you are running a prior release of either branch, we strongly suggest that you update to one of these releases.
For more details, please see the release notes at: http://www.NetBSD.org/releases/formal-5/NetBSD-5.1.5.html http://www.NetBSD.org/releases/formal-5/NetBSD-5.2.3.html Complete source and binaries for NetBSD are available for download at many sites around the world. A list of download sites providing FTP, AnonCVS, SUP, and other services may be found at: http://www.NetBSD.org/mirrors/
As a reminder and warning, the upcoming release of NetBSD 7.0 will bring about the end of support for the following branches: - netbsd-5 - netbsd-5-1 - netbsd-5-2 As in the past, we will provide a grace period of a month, but now is a good time to start thinking about your upgrade paths.

TrueOS
Along with our traditional PC-BSD DVD ISO image, we have also created a CD-sized ISO image of TrueOS, our server edition.
This is a text-based installer which includes FreeBSD 10.1-Release under the hood. It includes the following features:
* ZFS on Root installation
* Boot-Environment support
* Command-Line versions of PC-BSD utilities, such as Warden, Life-Preserver and more.
* Support for enabling the AppCafe web-interface for remote usage out of box
* Support for full-disk (GELI) encryption without an unencrypted /boot partition (Also on mirror/raidz setups!)
FreeNAS 9.2.1.9 is now available
Please get it from the usual place: http://www.freenas.org/download/
This should, knock on wood, be the very last release on the 9.2.1-BRANCH and also the last 32 bit version of FreeNAS, so if you’ve got some older hardware you just have to keep using, this is the release to run!
Please see https://bugs.freenas.org/projects/freenas/issues?query_id=104 for all bugs addressed in this release, though the list is very short:
- Fix a bug preventing Directory Server mode from working.
- Fix a memory leak in ZFS that is triggered by having a compressed dataset and an L2ARC device.
- Preserve the Samba SID across reboots and upgrades.
- Fix two problems in the config file generator for CTL:
- Unbreak device extents when using physical devices or multi path devices.
- Unbreak the case when target auth or discover auth is set to Auto.
- Fix a priviledge escalation issue.
- Save debug now includes the output of zpool history.

Updated! - FreeBSD Foundation Announces Generous Donation and Fundraising Milestone
The FreeBSD Foundation is pleased to announce it has received a $1,000,000 donation from Jan Koum, CEO and Co-Founder of WhatsApp. This marks the largest single donation to the Foundation since its inception almost 15 years ago, and serves as another example of someone using FreeBSD to great success and then giving back to the community.
The following contains the full text from Jan's Facebook post on 11/17/2014:
Last
week, I donated one million dollars to the FreeBSD Foundation, which
supports the open source operating system that has helped millions of
programmers pursue their passions and bring their ideas to life.
I’m
actually one of those people. I started using FreeBSD in the late 90s,
when I didn’t have much money and was living in government housing. In a
way, FreeBSD helped lift me out of poverty – one of the main reasons I
got a job at Yahoo! is because they were using FreeBSD, and it was
my operating system of choice. Years later, when Brian and I set out to
build WhatsApp, we used FreeBSD to keep our servers running. We still
do.
I’m announcing this donation to shine a light
on the good work being done by the FreeBSD Foundation, with the hope
that others will also help move this project forward. We’ll all benefit
if FreeBSD can continue to give people the same opportunity it gave me –
if it can lift more immigrant kids out of poverty, and help more
startups build something successful, and even transformative.
