I’m guessing the majority of TrueNAS users out there do not frequent these forums. And for those that do, the release announcement of 25.04 is here. Points out bug fixes, optimisations and a few new features. You’d be forgiven to believe this is a representative summary of upgrade changes [1]. Scarce mentioning of “all your VMs will break, and as part of this release, official status has gone from production grade to experimental”… Which is something for iX to reflect on.
[1] Yes, I understand from reading it carefully that the “release announcement” only compares 25.04.0 with 25.04-RC.1. Which is very spurious given the topic of the post (“TrueNAS 25.04.0 now available!”). Logically, the release announcement should relate to the previous production version which the majority of users will be upgrading from, not beta versions that early adopters have been evaluating.
