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 The announcement says that initial builds were "withdrawn" due to "several last-minute issues" and that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

    If you don't need any unusual build options, you should give packages a shot. pkgng is wonderful.

    I like the quarterly package set myself, but that's for a desktop. It means I get updates reasonably frequently, and the bugs are allowed to shake out first. Security updates get pushed out more frequently than that. It's a good system.
