Solved Feature preview / changelog for 13.1

[eternal_noob]

I am sure this has been asked before but i can't find information about which features are new in 13.1 and what changes have been made.
Is there a simple overview of the changelog (yet)?

the loader(8) spinning indicator will turn counter clockwise

"...for a random amount of time, then will spin clockwise for a random amount of time, then will display a Windows Blue Screen"

I think at this point in time the "changelog" would be "git log" from the tagging of 13.0-RELEASE.

I thought that - since code slush is tomorrow - they're already working on such a thing.

Look at the changes that made it into 13-STABLE? New releases are branched off of the -STABLE branches. So 13.1 will include everything that's been added to stable/13 after releng/13.0 was branched off.

One thing I know from the top of my head is OpenZFS 2.1 (13.0-RELEASE had OpenZFS 2.0).

I should have emphasized "simple" in my first post.

new OpenSSH(support for FIDO/U2F), bhyve improvements, more stuff for linux binary compatibility, PIE enabled by default on 64bit, stack address randomization reimplementation

One thing I know from the top of my head is OpenZFS 2.1 (13.0-RELEASE had OpenZFS 2.0).

Which is kind of weird anyway because FreeBSD had merged in the draid code for 13.0-RELEASE, so it wasn't quite the same as upstream OpenZFS

As far as I know, though, the only major thing of OpenZFS 2.1 on FreeBSD is that edonr still isn't supported.

Expect conservative improvements; <https://stands.fosdem.org/stands/freebsd_project/>.

13.1 will boot a range of computers that 13.0-RELEASE (including its installer) can not; see <https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/545207>.

13.1 will include the fix for FreeBSD bug 256746 – fsck_ffs completely broken for background fsck (affected: UFS with soft updates without soft update journaling). Related:
