TrueOS 2017-02-22 is now the newest stable release of the BSD operating system, and it looks like it brings quite a bunch of changes, starting with the implementation of new Jail utilities and Automounting feature. However, it also brings numerous other services, functionality improvements, and a collection of bug fixes. As expected, the software repository of TrueOS was synchronized with the those of the FreeBSD operating system, bringing all of its security updates as of February 19, 2017, as well as a bunch of up-to-date components, such Qt 5.7.1. The about tool was also improved in this release, and the pc-mounttray utility replaced with autofs and automounter.
