Hi FreeBSD/main users & developers: This is an automated email to inform you that the January 2026 stabilization week started with FreeBSD/main at main-n283376-8ef8c6abfadf, which was tagged as main-stabweek-2026-Jan.
Those who want to participate in the stabilization week are encouraged to update to the above revision/tag and test their systems. The tag main-stabweek-2026-Jan has been published at Gleb Smirnoff's github repo. To connect this repo as an additional remote you need to run: git remote add glebius https://github.com/glebius/FreeBSD Once remote is configured, to checkout the tag run: git fetch glebius --tags git checkout main-stabweek-2026-Jan If you want to use only the official FreeBSD repo, then update to the revision: git pull git checkout 8ef8c6abfadf Developers are encouraged to avoid pushing new features to FreeBSD/main during the stabilization week, but focus on bugfixes instead. The stabilization week runs up to Friday 18:00 UTC, but if there is consensus that any regressions discovered by participants have been fixed, it will end early. Once that happens, the advisory freeze of FreeBSD/main branch is thawed. -- Gleb Smirnoff
