Yup, there were some premature release announcements, but it seems it's really available now. (Note that OpenBSD releases come out twice a year, pretty much like clockwork, and that version numbers aren't indicative of the magnitude of the underlying changes: 7.0 was just the next release after 6.9).
Headline improvement for this version: it's fully supported on Apple Silicon. Not sure there is a huge market for that, but still pretty cool!

Most sensible people don't, however, because it entails going back to the old-school way of keeping OpenBSD up to date, i.e. you don't get to benefit from syspatch, fwupdate and sysupgrade. All three utils being (relatively) recent inventions that help keep your average sysadmin sane !
- messe 4y agoActually you get the advantages of all of those when running -current if you follow it by using the binary snapshots. You can follow current by upgrading to the latest snapshot via ‘sysupgrade -s’.
