FreeBSD 15.2 Beta 1 debuted last week for this updated operating system bringing improved laptop/desktop hardware support, experimental cross-building of base packages on Linux and macOS, updated LLVM/Clang compiler, updated OpenZFS file-system support, and other improvements. Released overnight was FreeBSD 15.2 Beta 2. FreeBSD 15.2 brings a fix for bsdinstall for installing from a remote pkgbase repository, updated OpenSSH, using ML-DSA-44/Ed25519 SSH host keys by default, VirtIO improvements, and other fixes: - bsdinstall can now install from a remote pkgbase repository; in BETA1 this failed due to the installer's small /tmp. - OpenSSH has been updated to 10.6p2. - ML-DSA-44/Ed25519 SSH host keys are now generated by default. - virtio_random(4) now works with modern virtio PCI devices, such as QEMU's q35 machine type. - Kernel bug fixes relating to TCP RACK, inotify, and Linux getdents(2) emulation. Downloads and all the details can be found via the mailing list announcement. FreeBSD 15.2 Beta 3 is expected next week and then if all goes well one release candidate the following week. If no major issues come up, FreeBSD 15.2-RELEASE should be out on 8 December.
