OpenBSD 6.2 Released (openbsd.org)
basscomm writes: OpenBSD 6.2 has now been released. Check out the release notes if you're into that kind of thing. Some of the new features and systems include improved hardware support, vmm(4)/ vmd(8) improvements, IEEE 802.11 wireless stack improvements, generic network stack improvements, installer improvements, routing daemons and other userland network improvements, security improvements and more. Here is the full list of changes.
I don't think that "elitist" is the right word to use. I think the correct word is "professional". The *BSD communities are some of the most welcoming around, and they're always willing to help. The only caveat is that they expect you to act professionally, as well. That is, they don't put up with bullshit. If you're going to contribute code, you will be held to a high standard. If you're going to ask a question, it's expected that you've at least put in some serious effort to figure out the answer on your own. They won't necessarily hold your hand, but if you come in with good intentions they'll often go to the ends of the Earth to help you out.
Their professionalism is also why Linux starts to seem so amateurish after you've used the *BSDs for any period of time, and especially after you've interacted with the *BSD communities. Debacles like how Debian switched to systemd, causing severe stability problems and disruption for so many Debian users, would never be allowed to happen within the *BSD communities.
