OpenBSD 4.7 cover

Pre-orders are now being accepted for OpenBSD 4.7, which is scheduled for release on May 19th, 2010.

Fresh from the keyboards of the developers, this release brings us support for a new platform, Loongson, expanded SGI systems support, a large pf rewrite, a collection of new (athn(4), urndis(4), lom(4), etc) and improved drivers, a major overhaul of the pkg_*(1) tools and OpenSSH 5.4 to name just a few. Visit the 4.7 release page (which is at this moment still under construction) for more details.

Of course, a t-shirt and a poster are available too. Order your set NOW!

    It should say athn(4) instead of ath(4). Maybe also mention alc(4).

      Also, some USB cable / DSL modems use RNDIS. It would be cool to see if any of those devices could be made to work with the urndis(4) driver, if any changes are necessary as is.

      Pre-ordered 4.6 from them, they had little problems with their shipment so I had to wait a bit longer for my order but I got voucher in return for it. I still got my CD's way before the official release though.
      I'm planning to order 4.7 from there.

      openbsdeurope.com seem to work fine, I got my 4.6 release from them in good time. They recently upgraded their ecommerce platform, so bear with them. They are also active on the official OpenBSD mailing lists.

      Firstly - thank you for the kind words above

      We had some teething issues with our new ecommerce system but we are ironing the last few issues out. We are sorry for any nuisance this has caused.

      I bet it will be corrected real soon, but for the moment, I've relinked the article to the wrong file name (which actually exists).

      I'll fix it again after cvs gets fixed.

    good job on integrating brconfig into ifconfig -- i often site openbsd's ifconfig as a positive example of the benefits of openbsd taking responsibility of both kernel AND userland.
