OpenBSD 7.0 Released

Long-time Slashdot reader ArchieBunker writes: Everyone's favorite security focused operating system OpenBSD released version 7.0 Thursday. In addition to the usual bug fixes and performance enhancements, support for RISC-V processors has been added.
It's 26 years old, and still chugging along. One interesting feature highlighted by Phoronix: Improving the ARM64 platform support with improved drivers for the Apple Silicon / Apple M1 but still not considered ready yet for end-users. OpenBSD 7.0 improvements on the Apple M1 include support for installing on a disk with a GPT and various Apple driver improvements for USB, GPIO, SPMI, NVMe storage, and other Apple M1 hardware components.
Also check out the 7.0 Song: "The Style Hymn" (part of an archive of all the OpenBSD release songs).

Seems like yesterday

Just seems like yesterday that OpenBSD 7.0 was released. Time flies.

OpenBSD is a very good distribution. It worked perfectly on every server and laptop PC I used over the years and it is blazingly fast.

Remember the old saying 'of course it runs NetBSD' ? OpenBSD was very useful for something public facing due to its security focus. NetBSD was what you used when you wanted to see if you could squeeze a *nix system onto your toaster. Dont really hear much anymore.

Awesome two 7.x releases in a week

Congrats to the OpenBSD team on getting this out so soon after they released 7.0 [slashdot.org].

They had to confirm it was not yet dead.

It's only mostly dead.

BSD confirms it; Netcraft is dead :)

Made my day! Also makes me a bit angry that they call "a song" some sort of chatter with music in background.

Sorry, do you want your money back :)
