+
+Parthenope is a modular, two-step installer for FreeBSD, written in Lua.
+
+During this quarter, the project was presented at BSDCan 2026, showcasing its current status, recent improvements, and future directions.
+The presentation also introduced several new ideas, mockups, and proof-of-concept implementations for future discussion and development, including an out-of-box experience and/or a post-installation configuration workflow.
+
+Since the previous status report and the EuroBSDCon 2025 presentation, several core parts of the installer have been completely refactored or rewritten, including:
+
+* The configuration file;
+* The communication file used to exchange data between Step 1 and Step 2;
+* The installer subsystems, including internationalization, multi-mode support, and related infrastructure;
+* The Step 1 and Step 2 managers;
+* The component framework, where installation screens are now managed and invoked by the Step 1 Manager;
+* Multiple installer components and installation screens.
+
+The Text User Interface (TUI) frontend is now close to feature-complete, bringing it close to supporting a complete FreeBSD installation.
+The remaining major components and screens are the partition editor, ZFS configuration, boot configuration, and the network manager.
+
+While it is not yet possible to fully install FreeBSD using Parthenope, development is progressing rapidly toward a functional release.
+The next steps are:
+
+* Complete the remaining TUI installer components and screens.
+* Implement the Command Line Interface (CLI) frontend to improve accessibility.
+* Develop the Web frontend to enable installation via a web browser.
+
+Parthenope started as a personal project, but it continues to grow thanks to community ideas, feedback, and feature requests, which are always welcome.
