The OpenBSD project has announced OpenBSD 8.0, its 61st release.

Version 0.130 of Game of Trees has been released (and the port updated).

In a post to tech@, Jan Schreiber submitted a driver for USB network control mode, uncm(4).

We have to admit that even users of a well rounded operation system like OpenBSD sometimes encounter hardware that is not quite supported yet.

In their usual, unassuming fashion, the OpenSSH project have released a new version, release 10.6.

In a move that hints strongly that the new OpenBSD release is about to drop soon, the LibreSSL project have announced the new stable releases.

As previously noted, Rafael Sadowski (radowski@) has been behind a recent pickup in development of httpd(8) and relayd(8).

In another hint that a new OpenBSD release is close, the OpenBGPD project has announced a new release of its software, version 9.3: We have released OpenBGPD 9.3, which will be arriving in the OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) updated the version of OpenBSD -current from "8.0" to "8.0-current".

Version 0.129 of Game of Trees has been released (and the port updated).

Filesystems on OpenBSD have come in two varieties, UFS1 or UFS2.

In an annoucement that vastly understates the usefulness of their code, the OpenSMTPD project have announced their new OpenSMTPD 7.9.0p0 release.

Last weekend was the EuroBSDCon conference, this time in Brussels, Belgium.

Version 0.128 of Game of Trees has been released (and the port updated).

It's a big day for routing security aficionados.

In another move that signals a new OpenBSD release is in the works, the OpenSSH project has released without fanfare its new version, OpenSSH 10.5.

A sure sign that a new OpenBSD will soon be ready is that a new OpenBGPD release appears.

Returning readers of this site may have noticed that the pace of development in relayd(8) and httpd(8) has been picking up recently.

Thanks to the tireless work of among others Dave Voutila (dv@), development of the OpenBSD/amd64 virtualization system vmm(4)/vmd(8) continues to make progress.

Yes, you read that right.

In a change likely to be widely welcomed, Rafael Sadowski (rsadowski@) committed support for custom HTTP headers in httpd(8).

Up until quite recently, relayd(8) did not actually support ECDSA keys and certificates, as described in the Relayd doesn't like ecdsa thread on the tech@ mailing list.
