Building on the Enterprise maturity of prior versions, TrueNAS 13.0-U4 was released today. The previous version, TrueNAS 13.0-U3, has proven to be the highest quality release in TrueNAS history and is already the most widely-deployed version of TrueNAS.

Compared to TrueNAS 12.0, TrueNAS 13.0 includes significant new components and delivers improved performance, scalability, and reliability. To date, nearly 50% of TrueNAS users have updated to TrueNAS 13.0, including many of our larger enterprise customers.

Today, TrueNAS 13.0 is the default software to ship on most TrueNAS Enterprise appliances, and it is recommended for all TrueNAS CORE and Enterprise users by virtue of its improved security and reliability characteristics, compared to TrueNAS 12.0 and previous versions. The TrueNAS 13.0-U4 version includes about 60 new bug fixes and updates to OpenZFS and SAMBA.

When Should you update your TrueNAS system?

Our recommendations are maintained and updated regularly on our Software Status page, which currently recommends TrueNAS 13.0-U3.1 for all users and customers. As TrueNAS 13.0-U4 receives further testing in more customer environments, it will become the recommended release for all TrueNAS CORE and Enterprise users within two months.

TrueNAS Enterprise is delivered as TrueNAS appliances to organizations who prefer a turnkey experience, optimized hardware, professional support, and Enterprise features such as High Availability (HA), Fibre Channel, Proactive Support, and Key Management (KMIP).
