The FreeBSD project has announced a new stable version of the FreeBSD operating system. The announcement says that initial builds were "withdrawn" due to "several last-minute issues" and that

Users that have installed FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE from the images originally available on the mirrors or from freebsd-update(8) prior to the rebuild of the final release are urged to upgrade their systems to FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1 immediately.

Among the changes are a new version of OpenSSH which no longer supports version 1 of the SSH protocol, support for 802.11n Wi-Fi, a port to 64-bit ARM processors, and graphics support in the bhyve hypervisor.

    Yeah, we're still on Linode, and we'll loose Linode's backup service if we switch it over to FreeBSD. Migrating off Linode is an option if it comes to that though TBH, I rather not do so if it can be avoided. Lots of pain in that scenario.
