FreeBSD 15.0-RC4 Released Due To Last Minute Issues

FreeBSD 15.0-RC3 shipped just a few days ago as what was expected to be the final release candidate before FreeBSD 15.0 stable is officially unveiled next week. But squeezing out today is FreeBSD 15.0-RC4 to address last minute issues.

FreeBSD 15.0-RC4 was issued today for what is hopefully some final testing before still managing to christen FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE next week.

These late fixes are mostly minor like some man page updates, but there is also now a "backup" signing key for the pkgbase packages, continued adjustments for the DVD1 ISO to fit within 4.7GB DVD size requirements, and arguably most pressing are fixing bugs in cp and inotify.

- Updates to several man pages.

- Adding a "backup" pkgbase signing key.

- Slightly adjusting the package set on DVDs to fit within the 4.7 GB limit.

- Adding the allow_kdc_spoof option to pam_krb5.

- Fixing bugs in cp and inotify.

If all goes well FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE will be announced next Tuesday on 2 December.
