+
+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 application is being developed for 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 new features that were added:
+
+- Support for Trusted Platform Module (TPM through software via swtpm) on CURRENT
+- Bootvars support
+- Bios, system, board and chassis information can be modified
+- Systray icon support on almost all desktop environment (tested on Plasma, Gnome, Xfce, LXQt and IceWM)
+
+Bhyvemgr supports aarch64 only on 15-CURRENT and amd64 from FreeBSD 13.x to 15-CURRENT.
+Also bhyvemgr can be
+
+* compiled and installed from link:https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/bhyvemgr[ports],
+* installed as binaries through `pkg` with gtk2, qt5 or qt6 interface support.
+
+Anyone interested in helping or supporting the project are welcome.
+
+Current version: 1.3.1
+
+TODO
+
+* Testing on real aarch64 hardware (aarch64 device donation for testing is welcome)
+* Add uart device support
