- Continued support for Apple Silicon, though not to a production-ready level yet.
- Improved handling for kernel config and kernel tracing on some platforms.
- Increased vmd (OpenBSD’s virtualization hypervisor) features, including support for up to 512 allocated vcpus.
- Support for new hardware periphrials.
- Many bug fixes.

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox
I'm Andrew, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.
