The Software Status page shows the latest recommendations for using the various TrueNAS software releases.
All release dates listed are tentative and are subject to change. The items in this list might not show every deadline or testing cycle that iXsystems uses to manage internal effort.
The progress and specific work is being tracked through tickets opened in Jira. If you have a feature suggestion or bug report, create a Jira account and file a ticket in the TrueNAS or TrueCommand projects. TrueNAS SCALE tickets are also tracked in the TrueNAS Jira Project.
| Version | Checkpoint | Scheduled Date |

| TBD |
Due to security vulnerabilities and maintainability issues, the S3 service is deprecated in TrueNAS CORE 13.0 and removed in CORE 13.3 (NAS-127694). Beginning in CORE 13.0-U6, the CORE web interface generates an alert when the deprecated service is either actively running or enabled to start on boot. Users should move any production data away from the S3 service storage location before migrating to TrueNAS 24.04 or newer, which has MinIO applications available. See also Feature Deprecations.
SAS Multipath is supported as-is and receives no further maintenance updates. While multipath situations might be detected and be generally functional in TrueNAS CORE, there is a possibility this is not available in a future TrueNAS CORE major version. Users should avoid creating and managing SAS multipath scenarios with TrueNAS.
Following the upstream FreeBSD 13.2 end-of-life, announced July 1, 2024, virtualization features (plugins, jails, and virtual machines) in TrueNAS 13.0 are now obsolete.
Enterprise users or community users with a critical need to use containers or virtualization solutions in production should migrate to the tested and supported virtualization features available in TrueNAS SCALE. TrueNAS Enterprise customers can contact iXsystems to schedule a TrueNAS 24.04 or newer deployment. See CORE to SCALE Migrations for more information.

iXsystems is pleased to release TrueNAS CORE 13.0-U6.3!
This is a maintenance release with important security updates. It is recommended for all users of CORE and Enterprise running 13.x or previous software versions. TrueNAS SCALE & SCALE Enterprise systems are not impacted.
Resolve a vulnerability involving python deserialization (CVE-2020-22083).
Address a security vulnerability with the jails system (iocage).
In addition to the included fixes included, additional vulnerabilities are identified related to iocage (a FreeBSD jail manager), which is the infrastructure component that operates both the Jails and the Plugins system on CORE. This update includes a mitigation that ensures any systems not running jails or plugins are safe from the iocage vulnerability impact.
Because these vulnerabilities are architectural in nature and the iocage application has not been under active development for many years, it is unlikely to receive fixes related to these vulnerabilities. Systems running Jails or Plugins are still be exposed to the iocage vulnerabilities.
We highly encourage users who run 3rd party applications on TrueNAS to upgrade to SCALE, which is actively supported and not impacted by any known vulnerabilities. As always, users are encouraged to follow security best-practices to minimize the risk to your system and important data.
TrueNAS Enterprise 13.x users should schedule an update with TrueNAS Support.

iXsystems is pleased to release TrueNAS CORE 13.0-U6.2!
This is a small maintenance release with fixes for CVE-2024-6387, noted as the regreSSHion vulnerability. Additional details and links to the technical discussion and analysis of the vulnerability are available from NAS-129828.
December 7, 2023
iXsystems is pleased to release TrueNAS CORE 13.0-U6.1!
This is a small update to 13.0-U6 to update OpenZFS to version 2.1.14 and fix a data integrity issue discovered in that project (NAS-125356). While this bug has been present in OpenZFS for many years, this issue has not been found to impact any TrueNAS systems to date. This TrueNAS Community announcement has further details.
November 21, 2023
iXsystems is pleased to release TrueNAS CORE 13.0-U6!
This is a maintenance release and includes an update to the Asigra plugin, updated ports for ZFS, and fixes issues found in earlier releases. The improvements include:
- Asigra plugin updated to 14.2.0.6
- ZFS ports updated
Due to security vulnerabilities and maintainability issues, the S3 service is deprecated in TrueNAS CORE 13.0 and scheduled for removal in CORE 13.3. Beginning in CORE 13.0-U6, the CORE web interface generates an alert when the deprecated service is either actively running or is enabled to start on boot. Users should plan to use a separately maintained MinIO app available from TrueNAS 22.12 or newer releases or otherwise move any production data away from the S3 service storage location. Enterprise customers can contact iX Support for assistance with moving away from S3 or Minio services in TrueNAS 13.0.

Known issues are those found during internal testing or reported by the community and are listed in three tables:
- Notices that provide more detail about Bluefin specific changes.
- Issues from a release that will be resolved in a future targeted release(s).
- Issues resolved in a particular version.
| Notice or Behavior | Details |
|---|---|
| iSCSI LUN can be removed on active controller but still advertised on passive | To avoid this issue, always remove any relevant iSCSI configuration details using the TrueNAS web interface prior to deleting the associated zvol. |
| S3 Service deprecated | Due to security and maintainability issues, this service is deprecated and scheduled for removal in the next TrueNAS CORE major version. See Feature Deprecations for more details. |
| SAS Multipath deprecated | Due to maintainability issues, SAS multipath scenarios are no longer receiving maintenance updates. See Feature Deprecations for more details. |
| Virtual Machine display devices appear to be insecure. | This is under investigation and resolution is TBD. To secure the system, disable any VM display devices after configuring the VM. |
| Netatalk deprecation in 13.0-U3 | Netatalk is deprecated in 13.0-U3 and users should begin migrating away from using it with TrueNAS. |
| Nextcloud (official) plugin does not install. | Recommend users migrate to SCALE which provides a better experience with running applications. |
| TrueNAS 12 cannot replicate to or from TrueNAS 13 | By default, TrueNAS 12 cannot initiate a replication to or from TrueNAS 13 due to an outdated SSH client library. Allowing replication to or from TrueNAS 13 to TrueNAS 12 requires allowing ssh.rsa algorithms. See OpenSSH 8.2 Release for security considerations. Log into the TrueNAS 13 system and go to Services->SSH. Add the SSH Auxiliary Parameter: PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa. |
| Replication fails between legacy TrueNAS 9.10 systems and 13.0-BETA1 systems. | Due to numerous improvements in the replication engine and ZFS, TrueNAS 9.10 systems (or earlier) cannot replicate to or from TrueNAS 13.0-BETA1. Update the legacy TrueNAS system to 11.3 first, then 12.0, and then 13.0. |
