Glen Barber has announced the availability of the initial alpha release of FreeBSD 10, the upcoming major update currently scheduled for release on 24 November 2013: " The first alpha build of the 10.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc and sparc64 architectures." Disappointingly, the release announcement provides no information about the planned features and improvements that are likely to be present in the new release, but here are a couple of other useful links: release notes (last updated nearly three months ago) and What's New on the FreeBSD wiki. The latter resource provides a list of changes, such as: " GCC is no longer built as part of the base system; Raspberry Pi support; support for AMD GPUs kernel modesetting...." The introduction of "bhyve", the BSD Hypervisor developed from scratch to offer a light-weight low-level HVM virtualization on FreeBSD, is another noteworthy feature. Quick links to download the amd64 and i386 installation images: FreeBSD-10.0-ALPHA1-amd64-disc1.iso (728MB, SHA256), FreeBSD-10.0-ALPHA1-i386-disc1.iso (597MB, SHA256).
