+
+Bhyvemgr is a bhyve management GUI written in Freepascal/Lazarus on FreeBSD.
+It needs a bunch of tools, mostly installed on base system, and some installed from ports/packages.
+The main goal is to be a desktop application with focus on desktop users to easily and quickly setup and run virtual machines on FreeBSD hosts.
+
+During this quarter, there were many bugfixes and improvements to Bhyvemgr.
+
+These are some highlights that were added:
+
+- Add swtpm support to FreeBSD >=1403000.
+- Add x86.verbosemsr setting on FreeBSD >=1500023.
+- Add IPv6 support.
+  It enhances a better IPv6 support using package:dns/dnsmasq[].
+  A host-record will be added to dnasmasq when Use_IPv6 is enabled.
+- Add a bridge IPv6 calculator at Bhyve Manager Settings.
+  It helps us to calculate what IPv6 must be assigned to bridge interface.
+  Take a look at README for more information about that.
+- Add support to create virtual machines from Cloud or VM images.
+  A new page will appear when "Create a virtual disk from image" option is selected.
+  It includes an image downloader (only support img.xz, raw.xz, qcow2.xz, qcow2, img, and raw files).
+- Add Cloud init/Nuageinit configuration files support.
+- Add user-data, network-config, and meta-data templates used from image minimal configuration.
+- Add user-data, network-config, and meta-data samples files.
+- Add support to define static ipv4 address when files configuration is selected from "Create Virtual Machine/Image" form.
+- Add new option to select images path directory from "Settings".
+  This directory is used to storage extracted images files.
+  By default, it is located at [.filename]#~/.bhyvemgr#.
+- Add new option to define qemu-img path file.
+- Add i18n support with initial English, Simplified Chinese (thanks to link:https://github.com/ykla[ykla]) and Spanish translations.
+- Enhanced logging support.
+- Enhanced clipboard support.
+
+Bhyvemgr supports aarch64 from 15-PRERELEASE to 16-CURRENT and amd64 from FreeBSD 13.x to 16-CURRENT.
+Also, package:sysutils/bhyvemgr[] can be compiled or installed from link:https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=bhyvemgr&stype=name&sektion=sysutils[ports] or pkg binaries with gtk2, qt5 or qt6 interface support.
+
+People interested in helping or supporting the project are welcome.
