OpenBSD 3.7 Released

See? I told you. I told all of you. I told you FOUR YEARS AGO but nobody believed me.
Now take a look at the OpenBSD web page. Just try and tell me the fish didn't finally come out of the closet with this release. The raised eyebrow, the pouty lips, the rainbow background. I told you.
Shouldn't be too long. New in 7.1 is transaction logging, which is the core of a good incremental on-line backup. They added it mostly for performance reasons and were in a hurry to get it out the door so the backup funcionality didn't get implemented. Now that the pressure is off a little we can hope to see it being worked on (7.2 or 7.11 maybe?)
On a side note, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that pg_dump uses MVCC to take a snapshot of the database when you run it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that imply that it can be run hot with no ill effects...?

Sigh, I hate people.
FreeSBIE?
Yeah, but did Netcraft confirm it?
That's the important part.
You're just jealous because his antenna is bigger than yours.

Yes, sir! I'll get right on it.
Blimps are go, sir.
I always liked the old one (the one loaded down with weapons)... :)
If OpenBSD hasn't had a remote hole in four years then how the hell did somebody break in and deface the site with that gay-looking fish?
