OpenBSD 4.0 released Nov 1, 2006


------------------------------------------------------------------------
- OpenBSD 4.0 RELEASED -------------------------------------------------

Nov 1, 2006.

We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 4.0.
This is our 20th release on CD-ROM (and 21st via FTP).  We remain
proud of OpenBSD's record of ten years with only a single remote
hole in the default install.  As in our previous releases, 4.0
provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly
all areas of the system:

- New/extended platforms:
    o OpenBSD/armish.
      Various ARM-based appliances, using the Redboot boot loader, currently
      only supporting the Thecus N2100 and IOData HDL-G.
    o OpenBSD/sparc64.
      UltraSPARC III based machines are now supported!
    o OpenBSD/zaurus.
      Support for the Zaurus SL-C3200. 

- Improved hardware support, including:
    o New msk(4) driver for Marvell/SysKonnect Yukon-2 Gigabit Ethernet.
    o New bnx(4) driver for Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet.
    o New xge(4) driver for Neterion Xframe/Xframe II 10Gb Ethernet.
    o New rum(4) driver for Ralink Technology 2nd gen USB IEEE
      802.11a/b/g wireless.
    o New acx(4) driver for Texas Instruments ACX100/ACX111
      IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless.
