The commit was taggued with Relnotes, not sure why it wasn't added to them. https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=e6b9cee76b14d687fb7ee6e37f381349b749401b > [1] https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/ISO-IMAGES/13.0/FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-arm-armv7-GENERICSD.img.xz > > thanks, > -- > J. -- Emmanuel Vadot
