I upgraded from 13.3-RELEASE to 14.1-RELEASE using Freebsd-update.

The upgrade was without any significant issues, but be prepared to reinstall most packages in the system.

I didn’t use packages for that upgrade as it is my habit to build everything from ports.
#yes | portmaster -aG 
handled most everything successfully, though /usr/ports/UPDATING should be consulted for the Python 3.11 and dependencies upgrade.

There were some ports where I had to make deinstall && make depends && make install clean to get the upgrade to complete, but that was not a significant obstacle.

Upgrades were done from both arch64 and amd64 architecture instances.
