A couple things HN users might be excited about:

* Docker via ZFS and jails (...running Linux x84-64 binaries): https://wiki.freebsd.org/Docker

--- (See also, https://github.com/3ofcoins/jetpack )

* Add support for trackpads found in Apple MacBook products: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=26126...

* CloudABI executable support: https://nuxi.nl/cloudabi/freebsd/

This is an awesome release.

My guess is this part:

  The iwn(4) driver was added, providing support for the
  Intel® Centrino™ Wireless-N 105 and 135 chipsets. [r266770]

from: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.0R/relnotes.html#drivers...

Don't forget zfsd[1]!

Graphics support for bhyve is also pretty spiffy.

Typo -- should read additional wireless support has been added.

Often gets lost in the release notes - deploying on Google cloud is super easy:

    % gcloud compute instances create INSTANCE --image freebsd-11-0-release-p1-amd64 --image-project=freebsd-org-cloud-dev
    % gcloud compute ssh INSTANCE

That's really cool. They also provide official AMI imagex es and how to deploy on VAGRANT!

vagrant init freebsd/FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-p1
