Q3 update question - Moving to Fangtooth from Electric Eel

[Patto647]

Ahoy, did a quick look but couldn't find an answer, 

So do we know if HexOS will be moving to TrueNAS Fangtooth or Goldeye for the next release "Q3"?

Im running a intel N355 and Electric Eel 24.10 doesn't seem to detect a few features of the processor (Onboard Graphics) and Network interfaces, I assume this is kernel related with 24.10 relating the N355 release.

When I force upgrade TrueNas to Fangtooth 25.04 the onboard graphics start working but it breaks the HexOS interface.

I suspect it will be Fangtooth (25.04), since the "Q3" update ought to ship in September. TrueNAS has estimated Goldeye (25.10) ships stable in October (10 = 10th month = October).

Two theories, at least, I think:

Slower: HexOS likely started "Q3" before 25.10 had a public beta. So HexOS builds on the current stable release at the time, which was 25.04. So most HexOS releases will lag behind the TrueNAS release. 

Faster: HexOS, by virtue of partnering with TrueNAS, has access to the 25.10 builds earlier than we plebians. That means HexOS starts with an earlier non-public TrueNAS release. 

I'm leaning towards the slower version, as that removes some variables and is easier for HexOS. And, for us, hopefully it means fewer bugs as we'll get a slightly maturer version of TrueNAS, not unlike TrueNAS Enterprise which also lags stable now.

Hopefully we get the official answer in the next two weeks.

Where have you read that they are going to 25.anything?  It would seem odd they would make a jump like that without us ever testing using that version.
