DragonFly 4.4 release candidate branched
The next release of DragonFly is coming due, since it’s been 6 months. I just tagged 4.4RC, and I’ll have an image built soon. Current estimate is that we’ll have the 4.4-RELEASE at the end of the month.
DragonFly 4.4-RC image for download
DragonFly BSD Digest
by Justin Sherrill
The release candidate for DragonFly 4.4 is built and available for download. The main site has it as an ISO or IMG file, and the mirrors should have it soon if not already.
Here’s a question I need feedback on: if we compressed these images using xz instead of bzip2 – would that inconvenience you?

Read more...First off, thanks for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself, your technical background, and how you came to the OpenBSD project.
My name is Renato Westphal and I was born and live in the south of Brazil. Currently I work for Taghos Tecnologia developing web cache and CDN solutions and in my previous job I worked for a small network equipment manufacturer, which is where my background in routing protocols comes from.

Hackfest OpenBSD presentations
Two OpenBSD developers gave presentations at this year's Hackfest security conference in Quebec. The videos of both are now online for your viewing pleasure:
"Kernel W^X Improvements In OpenBSD" by Mike Larkin (mlarkin@) (slides)
"Pledge: A New Security Technology in OpenBSD" by Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) (slides)
Binary dports for DragonFly 4.5 users
Update: as John Marino pointed out to me, anyone on DragonFly-master who upgrades now will be at version 4.5. This means pkg will get the new (4.5) packages on the next pkg upgrade. That means a mix of old and new packages unless you either reinstall anything (pkg update -f) or hardcode the 4.4 download path until you are ready to switch everything.
So: DragonFly-current users should either hardcode the 4.4 path for now or force an pkg upgrade for everything. DragonFly 4.2-release users are unaffected.
