The base system has been changed to FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p5. Except for i386, We now provide two images for each supported achitecture. One which uses ZFS and one which uses UFS for the root filesystem. The file systems used on the UFS version are now created with soft updates journaling enabled to reduce file system repair problems after a crash. The automatic graphics driver detection has been improved. Support for VIA/Openchrome has been added. For Nvidia graphics card not supported by one of the Nvidia drivers nv is now used. For better support of non-latin keyboard input and switching between layouts, IBus is now used. The rc script for loading acpi modules has been improved. The display manager SLiM has been replaced by SDDM. In order to reduce image sizes, libreOffice and some multimedia packages have been removed.
We have merged more than 2500 PR’s with fixes, updates and new packages since our last release roughly one year ago. Some notable highlights are: Initial support to mount install media via NFS has been added. A fix to use NFSv3 instead NFSv4 is underway. We have updated the NVIDIA drivers to the latest production branch version and updated older versions. LibreOffice has been updated to 7.2.7 and is now a 64 bit application. Firefox and Thunderbird have been updated to the latest ESR releases. MATE desktop has been updated to the latest 1.26 version. We have removed our old Perl versions and replaced them with 5.34 and 5.36 which are 64-bit only. Version 5.36 is now our default. Our Python versions are undergoing a similar process which is not yet finished. We began to remove versions 2.7 and 3.5 and are updating (or removing if an update is not possible or the package is superfluous). IPS has been updated already to use Python 3.9 which increased its speed slitghtly. We have updated gcc-10 to its latest version and added gcc-11. We also added clang-13 and removed older versions.

During the NixOS 22.11 lifecycle old password hashes may need to be updated, because we plan to disable weak password hashes in NixOS 23.05. We consider password hashing methods weak, if the libxcrypt project did not flag them strong. If your system is configured with weak hashes a script will emit a warning during activation. We expect most users accounts to be set up with sha512crypt (hash prefixed with $6$) which we will continue to support. Interactively configured passwords can be updated using passwd, new password hashes can be generated through mkpasswd.
