14.3 STABLE is out....i Think.

uname -aKU
FreeBSD 14.3-STABLE FreeBSD 14.3-STABLE stable/14-2dd67e4f612e MYGEN amd64 1403500 1402505

freebsd-version -kru
14.3-STABLE
14.3-STABLE
14.3-PRERELEASE

Does it mean, I have to do a buildworld, again?
 
stable/14 has been "out" since it left the 14-CURRENT development cycle. What the change from -PRERELEASE back to -STABLE here means is that releng/14.3 has been branched off. And the first 14.3-BETA1 will appear soon. The creation of a releng/X.Y branch marks the beginning of the release cycle.

FreeBSD 14.3 Release Process

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms.
www.freebsd.org www.freebsd.org
 
1402505 -> 14 (major version) 02 (minor version) 505 (stable and some new features)
1403500 -> 14 (major version) 03 (minor version) 500 (stable)

STABLE uses 500 as a start "build" number, ports or other applications can check this number to determine of certain features are available or not. 1403501 will have a feature or change that 1403500 didn't have. That 500 also shows the difference between 14.3-RELEASE (1403000) and 14.3-STABLE (1403500).

Related announcement was posted to freebsd-stable ML.
Also available via official website.

Basically, as far as I know, annoucements are provided after some time installation media are uploaded to official server to give official mirror servers to be sync with master server. So waiting for the announcement is usually a good idea to be safe.
