The newest release of FreeBSD has now been added to the available ISO media pool for KVM VPS provisioning. The latest version is 11.0. See below for release notes:


The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE. This is the first release of the stable/11 branch.

Some of the highlights:

  • OpenSSH DSA key generation has been disabled by default. It is important to update OpenSSH keys prior to upgrading. Additionally, Protocol 1 support has been removed.

  • OpenSSH has been updated to 7.2p2.

  • Additional wireless support for 802.11n has been added to several drivers.

  • By default, the ifconfig(8) utility will set the default regulatory domain to FCC on wireless interfaces. As a result, newly created wireless interfaces with default settings will have less chance to violate country-specific regulations.

  • The svnlite(1) utility has been updated to version 1.9.4.

  • The libblacklist(3) library and applications have been ported from the NetBSD Project.

  • Support for the AArch64 (arm64) architecture has been added.

  • Native graphics support has been added to the bhyve(8) hypervisor.

  • Broader wireless network driver support has been added.
