- “The purpose of the doc slush is to slow down the rate of changes in that
tree in order to allow the translation teams time to finalize their work
and to avoid last-minute breakage for the 14.2-RELEASE. - Tagging of the doc tree is scheduled to take place on 8 November, 2024.”

“FreeBSD 13.4 has a number of minor updates coming to the operating system. There are several driver updates like to the Intel ICE Ethernet network drvier and IRDRMA drivers. The LLVM/Clang compiler has been updated to LLVM 18.1.5 and there are also a number of other package updates such as SQLite 3.46 and OpenSSH 9.7p1. The in-progress FreeBSD 13.4 release notes can be found on FreeBSD.org.
For today’s FreeBSD 13.4-RC1 weekly development release, there is now a modernized set of packages on the DVD ISOs, a crash fix for “tail -F”, fixes for per-user ZFS dataset handling within the adduser command, and other fixes.“

AMD & FreeBSD Begin Collaborating Over OS Improvements
“Work continued on a joint project between Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and The FreeBSD Foundation to develop a complete FreeBSD AMD IOMMU driver. This work will allow FreeBSD to fully support greater than 256 cores with features such as CPU mapping and will also include bhyve integration. Konstantin Belousov has been working on various parts of the project, including driver attachment, register definitions, an ACPI table parser, and utility functions. Two key components that need to be completed are context handling, which is mostly a generalization of Intel DMAR code, and page table creation. After this, the AMD driverβs enable bit can be turned on for testing. To follow all of Konstantinβs work, look for src commits tagged with Sponsored by fields for Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and The FreeBSD Foundation.”
