NetBSD 11.1 released


November 03, 2026 posted by Nia Alarie

The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce NetBSD 11.1, the first update to the nineteenth major release of NetBSD.

It represents a selected subset of changes deemed important to backport since the release of NetBSD 11.0 in August. It is fully compatible with NetBSD 11.0. This release primarily focuses on security and bug fixes, since our aim was to get it released as soon as possible to address certain security issues.

This release includes security updates for mozilla-rootcerts, brotli, xorg-server, hdaudio(4), compat_linux(8), unbound(8), and ipfilter.

Among the non-security related changes are improved USB device stability on Raspberry Pi, fixed hot-plugging bugs in various USB Wi-Fi drivers, support for battery monitoring on the Microsoft Surface Go 3, fixed thread-local storage on ARMv5, fixes for running the MIPS Malta and PA-RISC ports under QEMU, support for the Zhaoxin KX-7000 CPU, and support for sensors, i2c, real-time clocks, and fan control on Sun Ultra 25/45 and Sun Fire V215/V245 machines.

NetBSD 9.5 released and EOL for netbsd-9


September 06, 2026 posted by Martin Husemann

The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce NetBSD 9.5, the fifth (and final) release from the NetBSD 9 stable branch.

It represents a selected subset of fixes deemed important for security or stability reasons since the release of NetBSD 9.4 in April 2024. It is fully compatible with NetBSD 9.0.

This also marks the end-of-support for all NetBSD-9.x releases and the netbsd-9 branch. All users still on this branch are urgently asked to update to a more recent release like NetBSD 11.0 (with 11.1 upcoming at the end of this month) or NetBSD 10.2 (to be released in a few days).
