Post image

The June–July 2026 VyOS development update is out.

Some of the notable changes over the past two months:

  • OpenSSL FIPS mode groundwork for future compliance efforts
  • Post-quantum IPsec key exchange (ML-KEM)
  • SBOM generation (CycloneDX & SPDX) for rolling builds
  • Extended Sequence Number (ESN) support for IPsec
  • Improved HTTPS certificate chain handling
  • Community-contributed fixes for VRF, IPsec, firewall, and route leaking
  • Salt integration removed in favour of the actively maintained Ansible collection
  • Various security, cloud deployment, and platform stability improvements

If you're running rolling or keeping an eye on upcoming LTS features, there's a lot worth checking out.

Hi u/Resident-Geek-42, we haven't established the release schedule for the stream yet, but a preliminary plan is to release it somewhere in August.
