iXsystems has announced plans to further develop a distribution for the rapid deployment of network storage TrueNAS CORE, which continues the development of the FreeNAS project. In June, it is planned to release TrueNAS CORE 13.3 based on FreeBSD 13.3 (the previous release was formed in 2021 based on FreeBSD 13.0), OpenZFS 2.2.3 and Samba 4.19. Future development will focus only on the TrueNAS SCALE distribution, which uses the Linux kernel and the Debian package base.
The TrueNAS CORE and TrueNAS SCALE projects will continue to coexist, but the TrueNAS CORE branch will be placed in maintenance mode, where they plan to fix bugs and security issues for many years to come. New features and new versions of components will be developed in the TrueNAS SCALE branch. There are no plans to release TrueNAS CORE based on FreeBSD 14.
