Bhyvemgr is a bhyve management GUI written in Freepascal/Lazarus on FreeBSD.
It needs a bunch of tools, mostly installed on base system, and some installed from ports/packages.
The main goal is to be a desktop application with focus on desktop users to easily and quickly setup and run virtual machines on FreeBSD hosts.

During this quarter, there were many bugfixes and improvements to Bhyvemgr.

These are some highlights that were added:

- Add PF/NAT support
- Add -n to sudo/doas command.
  They will save an error to log file if the permissions to run some apps are missing
- Add some how-to to bhyvemgr link:https://github.com/alonsobsd/bhyvemgr/wiki[wiki]
- Change RDP parameter: /log-level:off to /log-level:ERROR
- Improve aarch64 support
- Improve settings window
- Improve IPv6 support
- Improve log functionality
- Update translations

Bhyvemgr supports aarch64 from 15.x to 16-CURRENT and amd64 from FreeBSD 14.x to 16-CURRENT.
It can be compiled or installed from link:https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/bhyvemgr[ports] or packages with gtk2, qt5, or qt6 interface support.

People interested in helping or supporting the project are welcome.

Current version: 1.13.1
