I am happy to announce the release of GhostBSD 26.2-R15.1p6! This release is based on FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE and brings a new installer, full disk encryption in the installer, a smaller ISO, and many fixes across GhostBSD tools. For details on FreeBSD 15.1 enhancements, see the FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE notes.
GhostBSD 26.2-R15.1p6 is coming soon. Before upgrading, please update Update Station first:
sudo pkg upgrade update-stationThen reboot before running the upgrade with Update Station.
This new version fixes issues found while testing boot environment upgrades. Without it, the upgrade could fail or leave the system with a blank screen after reboot.
Note that before upgrading, Update Station now removes the ports and GhostBSD-src packages after asking you to confirm. Reinstall them after the upgrade if you need them.
