+man:makefs[8] now accepts an autotrim option that sets the autotrim property of the created ZFS pool to on or off, allowing imported pools to start trimming freed space without a separate zpool set step. When the option is omitted, the pool retains the default value of off.

The man:ixl[4] driver now enforces SR-IOV virtual function VLAN policies, with access VFs restricted to a hardware PVID and trunk VFs limited to 16 VLANs (VLAN 0 implicitly admitted). Hardware VLAN anti-spoofing and untrusted-VF limits of 18 MAC addresses and 16 VLANs are applied, and the effective policy is reported through the VF status interface and documented in ixl(4).
gitref:3be664785727[repository=src].
+The man:ixgbe[4] driver now isolates a virtual function whose guest driver repeatedly causes transmit failures after a reset, preventing one faulty guest from leaving an 82599 or X540 physical function unusable for other guests. This keeps the physical port available to all other guests on the same adapter.

+The man:ntsync[4] driver provides kernel-level support for Windows NT synchronization primitives via a `/dev/ntsync` device compatible with the Linux interface used by Wine and Proton. This allows Wine-based applications and games to perform thread synchronization in the kernel instead of user space, reducing overhead and improving performance and stability for multi-threaded Windows software on FreeBSD.

[[boot-loader]]
=== Boot Loader Changes
+The UEFI boot loader now applies command-line overrides earlier, so console selection via man:efibootmgr[8] takes effect before the GELI passphrase prompt. This provides serial console access on systems that do not advertise a serial console through ConOut.
+gitref:ea041ed323ee[repository=src].
+
+man:bhyveload[8] now releases its host /boot handle before executing guest boot scripts, limiting the sandbox's exposure to the host /boot directory.
+gitref:84ec2d3b67df[repository=src].
+
+The boot loader now rejects ELF files with inconsistent segment sizes (where a segment's file size exceeds its in-memory size), preventing malformed kernels from being loaded. Normal boot is unaffected.
+gitref:6e4ef01c603c[repository=src].
+
+The man:boot0cfg[8] utility now accepts a regular file as its trailing argument, not just a live disk provider. This allows users to configure man:boot0[8] parameters in a binary before flashing it with man:gpart[8] bootcode or using it with man:mkimg[1].
+gitref:15a0a7d525cf[repository=src].
+
+The EFI loader now allocates trampoline memory as executable code rather than data, so firmware that enforces non-executable data protections can boot it successfully. The trampoline is the small stub that hands control from the loader over to the kernel. This improves boot reliability on affected systems.
+gitref:6db7fa3765ae[repository=src].
+{{< sponsored "The FreeBSD Foundation" >}}
+
+The boot loader now recognizes ELF constructor sections and passes them to the kernel, allowing constructors to run during boot. This is required for KASAN.
+gitref:984a3970b16f[repository=src].
+{{< sponsored "The FreeBSD Foundation" >}}
+
+The boot loader's graphical menu no longer suffers from display corruption caused by incorrect shadow buffer offset handling.
+gitref:4a1a1bf3afc7[repository=src].
+{{< sponsored "The FreeBSD Foundation" >}}
+
+The `zfskeys` boot script no longer pauses boot to ask for an interactively entered ZFS passphrase unless both `zfskeys_enable` and `zfskeys_prompt_enable` are set to `YES` in man:rc.conf[5]. This restores the previous behavior of not prompting by default.
+gitref:3f73758036c7[repository=src].
+
+man:loader.efi[8] on a ZFS root under UEFI Secure Boot with man:mac_veriexec[4] enabled no longer reports a spurious no entry error. Users booting such a configuration should update the EFI loader and re-sign it.
+gitref:6b1371fca772[repository=src].
+{{< sponsored "Defenso" >}}
+
+The lualoader adds `be-list` and `be-switch` commands so boot environments can be listed and switched directly from the loader command prompt, with matching man page updates.
+gitref:f77062f506f7[repository=src].
+
+The EFI boot loader no longer fails to boot in a situation where it previously jumped to the wrong code, fixing a load failure that could prevent booting on affected systems.
+gitref:95632c90ba32[repository=src].
+{{< sponsored "Netflix" >}}
+
+The boot loader's graphics framebuffer code now batches updates through a shadow buffer instead of flushing on every operation, improving boot time on some platforms.

+{{< sponsored "The FreeBSD Foundation" >}}
+
+The boot loader's Lua menu now follows symbolic links when locating bootable kernels, so symlinked kernel paths in /boot are detected and offered in the boot menu.

rc.firewall now supports on-disk lists for `firewall_allowservices` and `firewall_trusted`: when a list element is an absolute path, the file is read and each non-comment, non-blank line's first word is treated as an address or subnet to add to the list.

+man:ifconfig[8] -v output now reports SR-IOV virtual function status for supported NICs.
