Version 7.6 – the 'OpenBSD of Theseus' – released
There is a full list of changes for those keen to know what's new. Suffice to say that it tightens up security in lots of areas. There's improved support for technologies such as AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization, including supporting it in vmm, OpenBSD's integral hypervisor. OpenBSD supports a remarkable 14 different architectures, and each release tends to improve hardware support. In parallel with FreeBSD's efforts to improve laptop support, OpenBSD too is working on it too. This version has better support for deeper sleep states, which use less power. This version also has wider Arm64 support; the release notes call out that it has "Added Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite (X1E80100) support".
