FreeBSD 13.2-RC4 Released With Fixed Suspend/Resume For Some Laptops

[ehansin]

I have installed FreeBSD a few times in VirtualBox, and we run a TrueOS NAS at work, so use some FreeBSD. I installed the RC3 from the other day in VirtualBox and really like the console font they use. Also a solid block cursor that does *not* blink, I like that a lot! Also, the boot messages/text is a bolder white when coming from the kernel, then standard, almost a little more gray when coming from init / user space. Never noticed that before. Anyway, small little details that I think are cool. Not going to argue the merits or lack of merits with FreeBSD (I'm not an expert in this), but glad it is around and keeps progressing.

How many times has that driver been reintroduced to the kernel? Such instability is very unusual for FreeBSD, are they preparing to move from a conservative OS model to a cutting edge one?

Just this once after it missed out 13.0 for egregious reasons. (basically the driver was a pile of crap in the first iteration). The firewall/router distros of FreeBSD like PFsense and OPNSense have already picked it back up If I recall.
