OpenBSD 4.4 Released

Posted by kdawson on from the fresh-daemons dept.

Linux blog writes "The new version of OpenBSD is available for download. There are lots of nifty new features to try out including OpenSSH 5.1 with chroot(2) support, Xenocara, Gnome 2.20.3, KDE 3.5.8, etc. Machines using the UltraSPARC IV/T1/T2 and Fujitsu SPARC64-V/VI/VII are now supported. It seems amazing to me that they keep delivering these new results on a six-month release cycle."

    Completely off-topic, but:

    I was looking at the latest GCC release notes, and found that the had just dropped support for 2BSD on the PDP-11. It's astonishing how long the old BSDs hung around for. A lot of Linux distributions still have a package for the old 4BSD userland tools.

    4.4 is a nice release number for OpenBSD though. I wonder if there will be a lite version...
