The first quarter of 2024 for FreeBSD has brought a new project for creating a better audio stack as well as striving for a modern graphical OS installer. Some of the status report highlights include:
- There's work underway on creating a new graphical installer for FreeBSD. A prototype was created after the FreeBSD 14.0 release using bsddialog, a solution as a BSD-based Xdialog-inspired package. Enhancements to bsdinstall are ongoing as part of this graphical install effort.
- Work began on making FreeBSD's audio stack better and more useful tools and frameworks to enhance audio development on FreeBSD.
- A second contract began with the FreeBSD Foundation to make UnionFS more stable and useful on FreeBSD.
- The FreeBSD ports collection is up to 32,244 ports.
- Continuing to enhance the FreeBSD Bhyve hypervisor.
