 They may also list changes to major ports/packages or release engineering practices.
 Clearly the release notes cannot list every single change made to FreeBSD between releases; this document focuses primarily on security advisories, user-visible changes, and major architectural improvements.
 
+FreeBSD {releaseCurrent} introduces full NO_ROOT build and image support across the base system and release infrastructure.
+All stages of the release process including `make installworld`, package staging, and image generation can now be performed entirely without requiring root privileges.
+This refactoring removes the need for privileged operations such as device-node creation or man:chown[8] transitions during builds, improving security and isolation within build environments.
+The `NO_ROOT` framework allows developers and automated systems to build official release artifacts safely under unprivileged accounts or in constrained CI sandboxes, reducing attack surface and simplifying continuous integration.
+
+Building on this foundation, FreeBSD {releaseCurrent} also delivers fully reproducible builds for the base system and official release images.
+The build pipeline has been audited and modified to eliminate nondeterminism like normalizing timestamps, filesystem ordering, and metadata, and ensuring consistent environment variables and toolchain behavior.
+As a result, binaries and ISO or VM images built from identical source commits now produce bit-for-bit identical results across machines and environments.
+This advance strengthens supply-chain transparency, enables independent verification of release artifacts, and marks a major milestone in FreeBSD’s long-term reproducibility initiative.
