At the start of July, the developers of FreeNAS had said that 9.2.1.6 would be the last release prior to 9.3, but sometimes a serious bug needs to be addressed as soon as possible. This was also the case this time with the possible remote Samba exploit CVE-2014-3560 and the planes were changed.
While they were at it, the also added a couple small performance improvements and brought over a couple small features from 9.3, namely the ability to do replication on a direct link without encryption. This could potentially speed up replication anywhere from three to four times the previous speed, especially over 10 Gb/s Ethernet. This is generally most useful when doing initial replication to a backup box, while they are co-located together, after which normal encryption can be used in sending the deltas.
FreeNAS encourages all existing 9.2.1.x users to upgrade as soon as possible.
