 FreeCORE-15.0-STABLE - release notes
================================================================

---- FreeCORE-15.0-U1.1  (2026-09-01) -------------------------

FreeCORE 15.0-U1.1 is a corrective maintenance update for
FreeCORE 15.0-U1.

FIXES:

  - Restores the phttpget helper required by iocage for release
    downloads and updates.
  - Restores the collectd data-set definitions required by system
    reporting.

---- FreeCORE-15.0-U1  (2026-08-27) ---------------------------

FreeCORE 15.0-U1 is a focused maintenance update for the
conservative TrueNAS CORE 13.3-compatible landing zone.

MAINTENANCE FIXES:

  - Incorporates the FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE-p3 security and errata
    corrections.
  - Restores headerless, tab-separated output for the affected iocage
    -H/--header commands, including clean jail-name parsing for zsh
    completion.
  - Corrects a stray doubled character in the monochrome FreeCORE boot
    logo.
  - Corrects the rar2fs Seek Length help text to identify 0 as the
    default.
  - Shows the Network dashboard card before Pool cards for new/default
    dashboard layouts.

This update does not add the 15.1 Angular work, OCI/Podman, Bastille,
Applications, or other unrelated 15.1 platform changes.

---- FreeCORE-15.0-RELEASE  (2026-08-21) ----------------------

FreeCORE 15.0 is the first stable FreeCORE release. It preserves the
TrueNAS CORE 13.3 appliance model while moving the base system to
FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE-p2 and the middleware runtime to Python 3.11.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  - Fresh installation and in-place upgrade from TrueNAS CORE 13.3.
  - A persistent, explicitly managed return window retains the prior
    13.3 state after an in-place upgrade, with visible held-space
    accounting and manual removal.
  - WebAuthn security keys for WebUI second-factor authentication and
    one-time-password support at local and serial consoles.
  - Native DRM graphics support for sharing a host GPU with jails.
  - Native rar2fs service support, including configurable seek-length
    behavior for large multi-volume archive collections.
  - A restored modern web terminal, WireGuard in place of OpenVPN,
    bectl boot-environment management, and dhcpcd networking.
  - Samba 4.24 and refreshed base, package, WebUI, and API components.
  - Vendor telemetry and enterprise-only failover, KMIP, Fibre Channel,
    enclosure, proactive-support, and cloud-management surfaces removed.

UPGRADE NOTES:

  - The base-system package requires a reboot. Allow the appliance to
    complete its migration and reach middleware READY before intervening.
  - Review the return-window state before enabling new pool feature
    flags. A pool upgrade can make return to the retained 13.3 state
    impossible and is therefore guarded by explicit confirmation.
  - Read the FreeCORE 15.0 release documentation before upgrading a
    production appliance: https://docs.freecore.org/releases/freecore-15.0/
