FreeBSD 14.5 — New features without changing course

FreeBSD 14.5 has been released, continuing the evolutionary development of the operating system six months after version 14.4. The update does not bring radical changes but offers a range of improvements for developers and system administrators. A key new feature is the native implementation of the Linux inotify interface, designed for monitoring file system events, which significantly simplifies working with applications ported from Linux. In addition, developers have optimized the boot process, improved FAT32 file system support, and made fixes to the network stack and several system utilities. The release focuses on increasing stability and usability, offering users a more comfortable environment without the need for relearning. FreeBSD 14.5 reaffirms the project's commitment to incremental functional improvements, maintaining its established development course for the community.
