presented the release of the free cross-platform unix-like operating system openbsd 7.2 . The OpenBSD project was founded by Theo de Raadt in 1995 after a conflict with NetBSD developers, as a result of which the NETBSD repository was closed to the CVS. After that, the feasibility study with a group of like -minded people created a new open operating system on the basis of the NETBSD starting tree, the main objectives of which were tolerance ( supported 13 hardware platforms), standardization, correct work, proactive safety and integrated cryptographic agents. The size of the full installation ​​ISO-image the base system OpenBSD 7.2 is 556 Mb.

except for the operating system directly , the OpenBSD project is known for its components that are widespread in other systems and have established themselves as one of the safest and most high -quality solutions. Among them: libressl (Fork Opensl), openssh , the package filter pf , routing demons Openbgpd and Openospfd , NTP server Openntpd , Postal server opensmtpd , a multiplexer of a text terminal (analogue GNU Screen) tmux , a demon of the IDENTD with the implementation IDENT protocol, BSDL alternative to the GNU Groff package- mandoc , the protocol for the organization of fault-resistant Carp (Common Addundance Protocol), lightweight http server , Openrsync file synchronization utility.

The main improvements :

  • Improved support for systems based on ARM architecture, including support for ARM-chips of the Apple M2 and AMPERE ALTRA. Added support for the Lenovo ThinkPad X13S laptop and other devices based on SOC Qualcomm Snapdragon 8CX GEN 3 (SC8280xp).
  • Added the ability to download the Oracle Cloud nucleus for the RAM Disk ( bsd.rd ) and nuclei for multiprocess systems (bsd.mp).
  • Turn on the KSTAT device, exporting statistics on the operation of the nucleus, which can be viewed by the Kstat.

    • utility.

  • For each processor nucleus with MPERF/APERF support, CPU frequency sensors are implemented. When working on the battery, the scaling of the CPU frequency is included depending on the load.
  • On ARM64 systems, initial support for the sleeping mode has been added. The limit by the number of CPU supported is increased to 256. The possibility of switching from a console based on the Glass Console to the console based on the sequential port (Serial Console) is implemented.
  • Remove the code for determining the CPU 386SX/386DX, nexgen , rise
