I really don't understand this - FreeBSD 12 is supported for 5 years. 12.0 was released at the end of 2018. I've heard many complaints that minor releases from stable branches are not frequent enough. > 12.0 was a problematic release. 12.1 brings even more problems. The major issue with 12.1 is a problem with the Intel graphics kernel module, and fixing that was held up by both 12.0 and 12.1 being supported. The problem will automatically resolve once 12.0 is no longer supported. (Yes, I wish we were able to address this issue in a way other than waiting for 12.0's EOL, but nobody in the FreeBSD development community was able to find the time to do so.) _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
