For all those lovers running a which of the following shells would you recommend and why ? Let it be noted that I'm currently running on just now but have wondered about ksh-devel ksh93u+m the development branch ksh93 based on AT&T ksh93u+ (stable).
Am I missing out on anything here ?

                              Start your weekend with a new release!

                              2.4.4 and 2.3.9 are the new Stable and LTS releases. Loads of interesting bugfixes, and support for Linux 7.2.0. Meanwhile, 2.2.11 gets a small number of the most important fixes.

                              Get them via the links below, or look for them in OS repositories in the next few days. Thanks to everyone who contributed!

The first panel on the right has a butler presenting a Belgium Beer to a character who is out of frame. There is a speech bubble from the out of frame character which says: "we find this?" The butler replies: "Etterbeek, sir." Etterbeek is where the VUB is located and the location of EuroBSDCon 2026. The second panel has Manneken Pis. Dutch for 'Little Pissing Man' is a landmark 55.5 cm (21.9 in) bronze fountain sculpture in central Brussels, Belgium, depicting a puer mingens: a nude boy urinating into the fountain's basin. There is a speech bubble as well that says: "Not here".

                                            All this nostalgia is making me want to give Claws Mail a shot instead of my usual aerc.

                                              Being a tiling WM girl I'm actually quite liking the new Cow ( Compositor on Wayland ( fvwm )) and I've already found a few issues which Thomas promptly solves or tells me I'm doing stuff wrong. I never really got into fvwm back in the day but trying this I can see the possibilities and it feels nostalgic. Who knows I might even become a fulltime convert, one of the herd? So I'm going to milk this one as much as I can before I'm put out to pasture. ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿคช

                                                  Just quickly ran up @thomasadam@bsd.network Compositor on Wayland -- a stacking window manager using river as the compositor. CoW aims to behave like fvwm and mwm from X11.
                                                  Obviously to see what it's all about and if I could even go back to a stacking window manager.

                                                  PS: I have not yet customised the theme it's the out of the box theme.

                                                    Checked that the backups of my host Beastie and it's Bastille jails ran without issue at midnight, after discovering an issue in my backup script and all is good in da hood. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

                                                      Check your backup system regularly!

                                                      I just checked mine and noticed that the jails exports had stopped all because I wasn't passing the --live option. All fixed now but still that could have been a disaster for me.

                                                        Well Beastie and it's jails survived the great pkgbase upgrade and now everything is working as it should. ( Or so I think just now ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

                                                          Success all jails and host upgraded to using pkgbase on with jails.
                                                          Now to work out why cgit no longer displays the files highlighted when clicking on the tree link but it does if you click plain display them. Also if you look at the logs it highlights them ok.
                                                          If anybody knows shout out please ???

                                                            All Bastille jails are now running pkgbase successfully with the little issue on the git jail with cgit. Now I'm upgrading the host Beastie and fingers crossed everything will reboot just fine shortly.

                                                              OK A bit late but I have successfully converted one of my test thin jails to pkgbase using pkgbasify and it all works. Only another 7 working jails to do and the host Beastie of course. So if I do decide to fully go for it tonight, You'll know what's wrong if I suddenly drop offline. ๐Ÿคฃ
