    15.0: FreeBSD Update is going away
    
    Upgrading to 15.0 will probably involve pkgbasifying the running
    system and then using pkgbase.  For now, just leave a note in the
    release documentation; it can be changed once pkgbase instructions
    are available.

 Binary upgrades between RELEASE versions (and snapshots of the various security branches) are supported using the man:freebsd-update[8] utility.
 See the release-specific upgrade procedure, link:../installation/#upgrade-binary[FreeBSD {releaseCurrent} upgrade information], with more details in the FreeBSD handbook link:{handbook}cutting-edge/#freebsdupdate-upgrade[binary upgrade procedure].
 This will update unmodified userland utilities, as well as unmodified GENERIC kernels distributed as a part of an official FreeBSD release.
