The NetBSD 7.2 release is a maintenance release of the netbsd-7 branch, which had it's first major release, NetBSD 7.0 in September 2015. A lot of security features have been added to later NetBSD versions, and for new installations we highly recommend using our latest release, NetBSD 8.0 instead.

Some highlights of the 7.2 release are:
Support for USB 3.0.
Enhancements to the Linux emulation subsystem.
Fixes in binary compatibility for ancient NetBSD executables.
iwm(4) driver for Intel Wireless 726x, 316x, 826x and 416x series added.
Support for Raspberry Pi 3 added.
Fix interrupt setup on Hyper-V VMs with Legacy Network Adapter.
SVR4 and IBCS2 compatibility subsystems have been disabled by default (besides IBCS2 on VAX). These subsystems also do not auto-load their modules any more.
Various USB stability enhancements.
Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements.
