But seriously, it looks like a great set of improvements. It is also great to have a new stable choice for mail transfer.

Subject: Announce: OpenSMTPD 5.3.1 released [opensmtpd.org]

OpenSMTPD 5.3.1 has just been released and the archives are available at
our main site: www.OpenSMTPD.org

OpenSMTPD is a FREE implementation of the SMTP protocol with some common
extensions. It allows ordinary machines to exchange e-mails with systems
speaking the SMTP protocol. It implements a fairly large part of RFC5321
and can already cover a large range of use-cases.

It runs on OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD, MacOSX and Linux.

OpenSMTPD presentation is here [opensmtpd.org].

my favorites

My favorite improvements:

* OpenSMTPd - can't have too many solid mail servers out there
* OpenSSH 6.2 - new crypto algorithms and other goodies
* pf improvements - sloppy state tracking for ICMP
* relayd and OpenBGPd improvements

now the question is: how long until those trickle down to sister projects like FreeBSD or Debian/kFreeBSD?

That is actually not the logo of OpenBSD but FreeBSD. I don't know why that logo is put there. The OpenBSD logo is more like this [openbsd.org].
