+
+The `bsd-user-4-linux` project ports BSD user-mode emulation for QEMU to Linux.
+The primary goal is to enable unmodified FreeBSD binaries to run on modern Linux systems.
+Additionally, the project aims to provide multi-platform container images with a functional FreeBSD environment and ready-to-use GitHub Actions templates.
+
+News:
+
+* Two new pull requests have been received since the initial project announcement:
+ ** Diagnostic output cleanup;
+ ** kqueue() support using libkqueue library on Linux.
+* The latest set of changes has been pulled from the Warner's qemu-bsd-user project bringing Qemu version to 9.2.0 along with some fixes and improvements.
+
+Current Status:
+
+* The initial port successfully runs `make -jN buildworld`.
+* Most command-line tools are working as expected (man:sh[1], man:bash[1], man:find[1], man:grep[1], man:git[1], man:clang[1], etc).
+* A link:https://github.com/sobomax/qemu-bsd-user-l4b/actions[GitHub Actions pipeline] builds x86_64 emulation images for:
+ ** linux/386
+ ** linux/amd64
+ ** linux/arm/v5
+ ** linux/arm64/v8
+* A pre-built Docker container with FreeBSD 14.1 binary world is created and pushed to the GitHub Container Registry.

+* Special pre-built "admin" container with Linux user-mode qemu binary for the FreeBSD/amd64 emulation is also published at the GHCR.

+
+Next Steps:
+* Bump FreeBSD version to 14.3;
+* Rebase onto Qemu 10.0.x.
