FreeBSD 15.0 Beta 5 Released With Build Fixes For Google & Azure Clouds

Written by Michael Larabel in BSD on 8 November 2025 at 05:50 AM EST. 1 Comment
FreeBSD 15.0-RC1 had been expected this weekend but instead a fifth beta release of FreeBSD 15.0 was deemed warranted.

FreeBSD !5.0-BETA5 is now available with the RC1 build sleeping to next week. The release management team is still hoping to have FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE out at the beginning of December by hopefully removing the last two release candidates (RC3 and RC4).

FreeBSD 15.0 Beta 5 brings fixes to image building for the Google Compute Engine and Microsoft Azure clouds. Plus there are OpenSSL and libarchive updates as well as other bug fixes:
o Libarchive update to 3.8.2.

o OpenSSL update to 3.5.4.

o Fixes to Google Compute Engine and Azure image building.

o Bug fixes in FUSE, NFS, ipfw, and pf.

o Numerous man page updates.

FreeBSD 15.0 Beta 5 downloads and more details on this weekly test candidate via the FreeBSD mailing list.
