**Changes since 1.4**

* We've decided to change the versioning scheme to the following form:
  FFfX-YYYYMMDD, where *FF* is the major two-digit FreeBSD version, and
  *f* is the minor version. Followed by the a date.
  The new scheme allows us to provide images with different version of
  FreeBSD.
* The base system has been changed to FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE.
* The partition alignment has been changed to 1M to improve the write
  speed on flash drives.
* A bug where GLX is disabled has been fixed.
* Drivers for VMware have been added.

**Changes since 1.3.2**

* The base system has been upgraded to FreeBSD 12.2-p4.
* The installer has been improved.
  * Problems with booting the installed system via UEFI has been fixed.
  * The suitable graphics card driver will now be installed and setup,
    instead of using the auto-detection on the installed system.
* Automatic graphics driver detection has been improved
  * The menu has been removed.
  * If no better graphics driver could be found, VESA or SCFB is used.
  * Autodetection will now run only if the system configuration changed since
    the last successful detection.
  * Autodetection can be disabled via the boot menu in case there is a problem.
* Touchpad support has been improved
  * If Xorg reports a problem with the touchpad, `kern.evdev.rcpt_mask` is
    automatically adjusted to use sysmouse.
  * The tool DSBXinput has been added which allows for easy configuration of
    touchpads and mice.
* An rc-script for saving an restoring the display brightness has been added.
* A GUI for easy installation of the Linux Chrome, Brave and Vivaldi browser has been
  added. They allow to use streaming services like *Netflix*, *Prime Video*,
  or *Spotify*.
* Support for selecting other window managers or desktop environments by pressing
  `<F1>` in the graphical login manager ([SLiM](https://www.freshports.org/x11/slim))
   has been added.
* [wifimgr](https://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/wifimgr) has been replaced by
  [NetworkMgr](https://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/networkmgr).
* The subsystem for auto-starting applications used by NomadBSD does now conform to the
  [XDG autostart specs](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/0.5/ar01s02.html)
* The partition which uses the remaining space is now mounted under `/data`.
* `/compat`, `/var/tmp`, `/var/db`, and `/usr/ports` are now nullfs mount points for their
   counterparts under `/data`, so that users don't have to create symlinks for those directories
   anymore.
* Bad news for i386 users: Since [drm-legacy-kmod](https://www.freshports.org/graphics/drm-legacy-kmod) is now obsolete, there is
no i386 support for accelerated graphics for Intel and ATI/AMD cards aymore.

  dialog(1) menu, to load the experimental iichid driver from sysutils/iichid if
  it finds a I2C HID.

  increase, decrease and toggle mute the soundcard and display the current

  Hugo Salgado.
