After some last minute delays pushing the 15.1-RELEASE back by two weeks, FreeBSD 15.1 is now shipping as the newest stable release of this BSD operating system.

FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE delivers a number of updated user-space packages, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) support is now removed, DTrace now works on 32-bit PowerPC and PowerPC64LE platforms, support for changing different CPU schedulers at boot time via the "kern.sched" tunable, NVMe driver improvements, support for newer Intel QuickAssist/QAT 402xx accelerators, updated OpenZFS file-system support, and many other changes.

There are also a number of WiFi drivers updated that are derived from the Linux 7.0 source tree, support for Intel Linear Address Space Separation (LASS) on AMD64, man page updates, and more. See the 15.1 release notes for all the details on the changes over last year's FreeBSD 15.0 release.

Sadly not making it for FreeBSD 15.1 is the desired nice KDE desktop installation experience that has been diverted to FreeBSD 15.2.
