The "August 2025 stabilization week" is now over.

This stabweek has been more challenging than usual, so please be aware of
the following known issues:

1.  OpenSSL 3.5.1: The legacy provider is broken, causing some ports to
fail. A temporary fix is to use `env CRYPTOGRAPHY_OPENSSL_NO_LEGACY=1`. Cf
an example of regression in PR/273656

2.  MIT Kerberos: The default Kerberos is now MIT. Clients should migrate
smoothly, but some scripts may need adjusting. Machines running kdc must
continue to use Heimdal by setting WITHOUT_MITKRB5="yes" in /etc/src.conf.

3.  Still empty Pkg repo today: The official package repository is
currently almost empty. Don't run `make delete-old-libs` unless you're
prepared to build packages from source. A bug in the current version of pkg
means that running `pkg upgrade` might result in the removal of many
packages due to this empty repository state.

4.  ABI Breakage: A recent ABI change in `setgroups(2)` and `getgroups(2)`
syscalls will cause some packages to crash. These packages must be rebuilt.

5.  ZFS Kernel Panic: We've identified a 100% reproducible kernel panic
when running ZFS regression tests. The bug has been reported on PR/289131.
The FreeBSD CI ZFS tests have not been running for about a month, with the
latest run also resulting in a panic too [1].

Thanks for your reports,

Olivier
