FreeBSD 14.5-Release
The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 14.5-RELEASE.
This is the sixth release of the stable/14 branch.
Since this release is occurring late in a legacy stable branch, there are few new features; rather, the focus is primarily on maintenance.
As such, changes since 14.4-RELEASE consist mostly of bug fixes, driver updates, and new versions of externally-maintained software.
For a complete list of new features, supported hardware, and known problems, please see the online release notes, hardware compatibility notes, and errata list, available at:
