I think it's about time for some #OpenBSD #80HYPE Clang/LLVM 22 is now OpenBSD's base compiler on clang architectures, including updated libc++{,abi}, compiler-rt & libunwind support libraries.https://bsd.network/@brynet/116658062479940402OpenBSD/sparc64 switches to Clang by default! This was the last significant architecture to switch. This makes OpenBSD the only operating system to support sparc64 with a modern toolchain.https://bsd.network/@brynet/117130130536792528 Since 7.9, Jonathan Gray (jsg@) has continued to update the drm graphics stack (inteldrm/radeondrm/amdgpu) bringing OpenBSD 8.0 to Linux 6.18.y/6.18.53, adding driver support for Intel Arc A-Series (DG2/Alchemist) cards. Increased KVA (kernel virtual addresses) on amd64 (to 512G) now allows mapping more than 4G of VRAM (for example, GPU compute w/ Vulkan) https://freshbsd.org/openbsd/src?q=drm&committer[]=jsghttps://bsd.network/@brynet/116794461642940154After a ton of work in Edmonton by Mike Larkin (mlarkin@) and Dave Voutila (dv@), OpenBSD vmm/vmd(8) now supports SMP guests up to 64 VCPUs per VM! 🎉https://bsd.network/@brynet/117295044109301163https://bsd.network/@brynet/117299753668348206OpenBSD 8.0 adds qwz(4), new WiFi driver for Qualcomm WCN7850 "ath12k" devices.https://bsd.network/@brynet/116574369382033904A new driver, sambat(4), for monitoring battery status, cycle count/charge info on Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge (Snapdragon arm64) machines.https://bsd.network/@brynet/116600674574234896Accelerated swap encryption on amd64 and arm64 by using AES CPU instructions.https://bsd.network/@brynet/117090842236460135 OpenBSD/arm64 and OpenBSD/riscv64 boards can now heartbeat blinking LEDs to show system load averages. Das Blinkenlights!! https://bsd.network/@brynet/116879479168132932 #OpenBSD httpd(8) now supports many new features: Setting custom HTTP response headers. New blocking/filtering rules based on received HTTP headers (e.g: User-Agent: ) https://bsd.network/@brynet/117371604463587328https://bsd.network/@brynet/116979133275422995See also rsadowski@'s report: https://rsadowski.de/posts/2026/w2k26-edmonton-openbsd-hackathon/.. and finally, I made my first commit to #OpenSSH this release cycle!https://bsd.network/@brynet/117007833531799959And lots more to see in 8.0!
