Networking received IPv6 support in telnet and netstat, plus Path MTU discovery. The kernel gained POSIX compliance fixes, improved timezone handling, and new system calls from POSIX-2024. File systems saw BFS query optimizations and write_overlay fixes. Build system updates synchronized packages with HaikuPorts and introduced unit test automation infrastructure.
