NetBSD 11.0 released

NetBSD 11.0, the 19th major version of the open-source operating system, has been released. This update brings numerous enhancements and changes since the 10.1 release, such as a new port to RISC-V architecture, improved compatibility with Linux system calls through compat_linux(), and enhancements to the NPF firewall. Given the surge in security issues reported due to the rise of AI tools, the NetBSD team has chosen to be transparent about the open issues rather than delaying the release.

The release notes provide links to binary distributions and detailed change logs for users to review and download.
