The @OpenBSDAms@mastodon.bsd.cafe fishtank was updated to 8.0, you can now jack in again on: $ ssh puffy@fishtank.openbsd.amsterdam Enjoy the sea creatures! #OpenBSD #80hype

As @brynet@bsd.network has been pointing out... it's time for some #80HYPE 🧙🏻‍♂️​ 🐡

Some of the highlights we are looking forward to! This is just a teeny tiny subset of all the amazing things coming in 8.0! https://www.openbsd.org/80.html

OpenBSD vmm/vmd(8)

• Added MP support for up to 64 VCPUs per guest VM

This is what a dmesg looks like: https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/dmesgd?do=view&id=9166

OpenBSD httpd(8)

• Setting custom HTTP response headers.
• New blocking/filtering rules based on received HTTP headers (e.g: User-Agent: )

OpenBSD relayd(8)

• Added Lua patterns(7) support for relayd(8) filter rules; improved glob(7) documentation.
• Added ECDSA support to the relayd(8) CA privsep engine.
• Switched the default TLS cipher in relayd.conf(5) set from 'HIGH:!aNULL' to 'secure.'

Thank you @mlarkin@bsd.network, dv@ and @sizeofvoid@bsd.network for these specifically, and of course all developers who are working tirelessly on #OpenBSD

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/116658062479940402 OpenBSD/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[]=jsg https://bsd.network/@brynet/116794461642940154 After 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/117295044109301163 https://bsd.network/@brynet/117299753668348206 OpenBSD 8.0 adds qwz(4), new WiFi driver for Qualcomm WCN7850 "ath12k" devices. https://bsd.network/@brynet/116574369382033904 A new driver, sambat(4), for monitoring battery status, cycle count/charge info on Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge (Snapdragon arm64) machines. https://bsd.network/@brynet/116600674574234896 Accelerated 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/117371604463587328 https://bsd.network/@brynet/116979133275422995 See 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/117007833531799959 And lots more to see in 8.0! ​​
