The FreeBSD Foundation is sponsoring Intel FRED (Flexible Return and Event Delivery) support, a new CPU architecture feature debuting with Panther Lake that offers notable performance gains. Other highlights include progress on Bhyvemgr (a Bhyve hypervisor GUI), Sylve (a web-based system management platform), and SBOM support driven by the EU Cyber Resilience Act. In the ports world, new defaults include Go 1.25, OpenJDK 21, MySQL 8.4, and PostgreSQL 18, alongside new packages like Firefox 149 and KDE Plasma 6.6.3. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
