We are excited to announce the release of Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.2. This release focuses heavily on platform refinement, stability, and core optimization.
Proxmox VE 9.2 is built on the robust Debian 13.5 "Trixie" and ships with Linux kernel 7.0 as the new stable default. In addition to core system enhancements, this update integrates the latest versions of our key underlying technologies, including QEMU 11.0, LXC 7.0, and ZFS 2.4. Storage capabilities have also been advanced with Ceph Tentacle 20.2.1 as the new default stable release, and Ceph Squid 19.2.3 still available as an option.
Here are some of the highlights in Proxmox VE 9.2:
