In a fediverse post, Damien Miller (djm@) announced the availability of the new OpenSSH version 9.9:

OpenSSH 9.9 has just been released. New features include support for hybrid ML-KEM X25519 post-quantum key exchange (using a formally-verified ML-KEM implementation), improved controls to drop and penalise unwanted connections, faster NTRUPrime key exchange code and more.

Claudio Jeker (claudio@) announced the release of version 8.6 of OpenBGPD, the OpenBSD project's Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) daemon:

We have released OpenBGPD 8.6, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

The OpenBSD 7.6 release cycle is entering its final phases…

With the following commit, Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) moved -current to version 7.6:

CVSROOT:	/cvs
Module name:	src
Changes by:	deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org	2024/09/17 07:39:17

Modified files:
	sys/conf       : newvers.sh 

Log message:
head into release

For those unfamiliar with the process: this is not the 7.6 release, but is part of the standard build-up to the release.

Remember: It's time to start using "-D snap" with pkg_add(1) (and pkg_info(1)).

(Regular readers will know what comes next…)
This serves as an excellent reminder to upgrade snapshots frequently, test both base and ports, and report problems [plus, of course, donate!].

Sebastian Benoit (benno@) announced the release of version 9.2 of rpki-client, the essential component for routing security.

See the full announcement for further details.

Here are some key excerpts from the release announcement:

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

- Ensure synchronization jobs are stopped when the timeout is reached.

- Fix a corner case in repository handling. If the last RRDP repository
  failed to load, rpki-client would fail to fall back to rsync due to an
  ordering bug in the event loop.

- Improve detection of duplicate file paths. Only trigger a duplicate
  error if a valid path is revisited otherwise a bad CA could prevent
  legitimate files from being considered valid.

- Normalize internal representation of the caRepository to have a
  trailing slash and ensure that the rpkiManifest is a file inside it.

All files from the original import of OpenBSD have now been modified (or deleted). Appropriately, Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) made the change:

CVSROOT:	/cvs
Module name:	src
Changes by:	deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org	2024/08/23 11:29:08

Modified files:
	games/quiz     : Makefile 
	games/quiz/datfiles: index 
Added files:
	games/quiz/datfiles: ship 
Removed files:
	games/quiz/datfiles: greek 

Log message:
The greek quiz is so obscure that it is ridiculous -- noone can play
this.  Replace it with a new quiz about galley (ship) parts.  This
commit changes the *LAST UNMODIFIED ORIGINAL FILE* (meaning revision
1.1.1.1) from the original import that created OpenBSD on Oct 18,
1995.  With this commit, we have completed an amusing mission of
replacing the final parts of the original OpenBSD.

We have reached OpenBSD of Theseus.
