FreeBSD 14.0 is out now
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/announce/
Some of the highlights:
OpenSSH has been updated to version 9.5p1.
OpenSSL has been updated to version 3.0.12, a major upgrade from OpenSSL 1.1.1t in FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE.
The bhyve hypervisor now supports TPM and GPU passthrough.
FreeBSD supports up to 1024 cores on the amd64 and arm64 platforms.
ZFS has been upgraded to OpenZFS release 2.2, providing significant performance improvements.
It is now possible to perform background filesystem checks on UFS file systems running with journaled soft updates.
Experimental ZFS images are now available for AWS and Azure.
The default congestion control mechanism for TCP is now CUBIC.
And much more…

Gunion(8): a new GEOM utility in the FreeBSD Kernel
A talk by Marshall Kirk McKusick
This talk describes the gunion(8) utility that was added to the FreeBSD kernel in February 2022. The talk starts with an introduction to the FreeBSD GEOM kernel layer describing its location and function. The talk then describes how gunion(8) tracks changes to a read-only disk using a writable disk. The talk concludes with examples of problems for which gunion(8) can be effectively used.

FreeBSD: using Dtrace to track down started processes and used files
use Dtrace to find out which processes have started in my system, and which files are being used. This neat trick allows to debug some really difficult problems in a very simple and easy way.

Using the RaspberryPi GPIOs on FreeBSD
Since I often use the RaspberryPi board for some non critical automation that requires more than the computational power of an AVR or where having a full blown operating system is just more convenient I also often want to use the GPIO pins as on any embedded device. Since I usually don’t use a Linux distribution like Raspbian I had to look up how to use the GPIOs on FreeBSD every time again. This article is just a short summary on how to access them so I don’t have to look this up every time.

quiz: tiny VMs for kernel development By: Rob Norris
I wrote quiz, a tool to make fast edit-compile-test cycles on kernel code possible. Under the hood it uses QEMU's "microvm" profile and a custom kernel config to boot from cold into the OpenZFS test suite in a couple of seconds. Its great, and I use it hundreds of times a day.
My FreeBSD-using colleagues naturally said "cool, but what about us?!" so I started looking at what it would take bring quiz to FreeBSD. The answer to that is "its complicated", and involves either adding bhyve to QEMU as a hardware virtualisation backend, or adding support for direct kernel loading support to /usr/sbin/bhyve. "Why not both?" I said, before promptly shriveling into a corn cob.
