I missed posting about the 7th release candidate, which turned out to be the final one, and now NetBSD 11.0 has finally been released!

The release announcement can be found here.

In comparison to RC6, the final release includes updates to xorg-server 21.1.24, libXfont2 2.0.8, and tzdata 2026cgtz. It also contains numerous bug and security fixes across networking, the kernel, architecture support, the runtime linker, locale handling, curses, and installation tools.

The changes since RC6 are listed in the CHANGES-11.0 file, starting from the “Welcome to 11.0_RC6!” section through the end of the file.

This release also includes dedications to former core members Alan P. Barrett and Berndt Josef Wulf, in recognition of their contributions to the NetBSD project.

The release can be downloaded from the CDN service or any of the other project mirrors. Please don’t hesitate to try it and report bugs! As usual, upgrading is strongly recommended for users of earlier NetBSD releases.

Enjoy the new major release, and thank you to all developers, testers, and contributors who made NetBSD 11.0 possible. Happy upgrading!
