“FreeBSD 14.3 Beta 3 adds in the KDE desktop packages to the DVD image. Due to the “x11/kde5” package no longer existing for KDE Plasma 5, the build script needed to be updated to “x11/kde” that in turn points to the new KDE Plasma 6 packages. Thus the KDE Plasma desktop packages are back to being available from the DVD ISOs. However, the KDE packages might end up being dropped later depending upon the size of the ISOs if they begin hitting DVD capacity limits.”
A summary of changes since BETA2 includes:
- DVD images now contain KDE packages, and no longer contain kernel modules compiled on FreeBSD 14.2.
- PATH is set correctly in the post-install shell from bsdinstall.
- A bug causing boot failures on powerpc64le has been fixed.
- 802.11 AUTH frames are no longer sent if BSS changes.
