Some of the highlights:

• OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.1.1t.
• The bhyve hypervisor now supports more than 16 vCPUs in a guest.
• Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is now enabled for 64-bit executables by default.
• ZFS has been upgraded to OpenZFS release 2.1.9.
• It is now possible to take snapshots on UFS filesystems when running with journaled soft updates.
• The kernel wg(4) WireGuard driver is now available.
• The kernel netlink(4) network configuration protocol is now available.

Authentication and Authorization (AuthN and AuthZ) are terms that refer to discrete, specific concepts that can easily be confused.

Authentication is the process of proving that someone is who they claim to be.

Authorization is the process of granting access to a resource.
