Some of the accomplishments for FreeBSD in Q1'2022 include:
- The FreeBSD Foundation sponsored work on crypto changes for the WireGuard support as well as Intel WiFi driver improvements.
- A few developers have been working on making the Framework Laptop run nicely under FreeBSD.
- RISC-V support for the SV48 mode that allows for greater memory use.
- The FreeBSD Ports tree is up to more than 46,800 ports (packages).
- Continued work on FreeBSD boot performance. The multi-year effort took FreeBSD from 30 seconds to just 10 seconds for booting and now thanks to the Q1 work it's down to around a 8 second boot time as measured on Amazon EC2.
- In addition to the Intel WiFi driver support being a large focus for FreeBSD, developers have also been working on Realtek RTW88 and RTW89 WiFi driver support.
- Work on supporting the NXP DPAA2 second-generation data path accelerator architecture.
