After the year of development published release FreeBSD 13.1. Installation images are available for architectures AMD64, i386, PowerPC, PowerPC64, PowerPC64le, PowerPCSPE, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6, ARMV6 ARMV7, AARCH64 and RISCV64. Additionally prepared assemblies for virtualization systems (Qcow2, VHD, VMDK, RAW)
and cloud environment Amazon Ec2, Google Compute Engine and Vagrant.
in new version :
- The IWLWIFI driver for Intel wireless cards is proposed to support the new chips and the 802.11ac standard. The driver is based on the Linux drive and code from the NET80211 Linux subsystem, the work of which in FreeBSD is provided using the Linuxkpi layer.
- The implementation of the ZFS file system is updated before the OpenZFS 2.1 release with DRAID (Distributed Spare RAID) and significant performance optimization.
- Added a new ZFSKEYS RC script, with which you can organize automatic decryption of encrypted ZFS breaks at the download stage.
- In the network stack changed behavior for IPV4 addresses with zero latest number (X.X..0). which is now you can use as a host and it is not applied to it by default in broadcasting mode. Old behavior can be returned using Sysctl Net.inet.ip.broadcast_Lowest.
- For 64-bit architectures, the assembly of the base system using the added Automated editing disk sections, which allows for different names to connect the breakdown scenarios Working without the participation of the user. The proposed ability simplifies the creation of fully automatically working installation media for systems and virtual machines with different disks.
- Improved support for loading on systems with UEFI. The bootloader includes automatic setting of the Copy_staging parameter depending on the capabilities of the loaded nucleus.
- Work was carried out to increase the performance of the bootloader, NVME, RTSold, initializing the generator of pseudo -random numbers and calibration of the timer, which led to a reduction in the load time.
