First and foremost, the 25.04 release brings Enterprise-grade features such as NFS over RDMA support and Fibre Channel support. Additionally, administrators can now benefit from iSCSI XCOPY through ZVOL block cloning, streamlining data management tasks.
The system adopts Linux kernel 6.12 for broadened hardware support, OpenZFS 2.3 for improved storage efficiency, Docker Engine 27.5 for streamlined container management, and NVIDIA Driver 550.142 for enhanced GPU workloads.

TrueNAS 25.04 ‘Fangtooth’ debuts with Linux foundation and unified SCALE and CORE codebase
TrueNAS 25.04, codenamed “Fangtooth,” was recently released (download here), and with it comes a full embrace of Linux as the underlying base. While previous versions of TrueNAS were confusingly split between CORE (built on FreeBSD) and SCALE (built on Linux), this release finally pushes the project further into its beautiful Linux future.
This version builds on the foundation laid by TrueNAS 24.10 “Electric Eel.” That version brought improved performance and Docker support, and Fangtooth expands on it with more than 1,000 changes, including over 150 bug fixes. The update is being offered as a release version, but iXsystems is still recommending it for early adopters only -- at least for now.

TrueNAS 25.04 Arrives with Thousands of Changes » Linux Magazine
The latest version of TrueNAS has arrived, and it'll no longer confuse you with CORE and SCALE versions. Instead, the company behind TrueNAS has merged these versions into one release, TrueNAS 25.04.
This new release (Fangtooth) is built on the foundation of Electric Eel (TrueNAS 24.10) and includes features like the Linux kernel 6.12, fast deduplication, 5X acceleration of the RAID-Z expansion process, LXC containers (and Qemu/KVM virtualization) via Incus instances, configurable IP addresses for newly added apps, and more.
There also are several new enterprise extensions, including improved security (GPOS STIC), RDMA extensions for improved latency on iSCSI and NFS, iSCSI block cloning, fast file copy, fiber channel support for enterprise SANs, and NFS access to snapshot directories.
