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 The announcement says that initial builds were "withdrawn" due to "several last-minute issues" and that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.

    Devuan had quite a few issues with it last time I looked (which admitly was awhile ago) that made me very "eh" on selecting it as a choice of distro. It looks like they migrated away from using Jenkins as a build service and are less on the crack pipe than they were historically so maybe worth a second-look.

    What is wrong with Jenkins? Seems to be the choice for most people not on github or gitlab.
