FreeBSD 13.3 Released With Better WiFi Support, LLVM objdump Added

For those still on the FreeBSD 13 series with not having migrated yet to FreeBSD 14, FreeBSD 13.3 was released overnight as the newest incremental update to this mature BSD platform.

FreeBSD 13.3 enables the powerd daemon by default on the ARM64 Raspberry Pi image, the LLVM objdump utility is now available, LLVM/Clang 17.0.6 is the compiler toolchain in use, the Intel IWLWIFI driver for FreeBSD has been updated to support wireless chipsets up to the BE200 series, the Realtek RTW88 WiFI driver was updated, stability fixes for wireless drivers, OpenZFS 2.1.14 is in use for ZFS support, and support for the Google Virtual NIC was added via the GVE driver.

The WiFi driver improvements are perhaps most notable for those running FreeBSD desktop/laptop installs while much of the other work are all evolutionary enhancements to the aging FreeBSD 13 series.
