    Now enabled by default on OpenBSD -current is dhcpleased (8), a dynamic host configuration protocol daemon written by florian@ (Florian Obser), who spoke with us about his work: I suppose this is either the KAME project 's fault, or if we don't want to go that far back, Theo's fault. At g2k16 he floated the idea of a network configuration daemon.

9.  OpenBSD KDE Status Report
    OpenBSD has managed to drop KDE3 and KDE4 in the 6.8 -> 6.9 release cycle. That makes me very happy because it was a big piece of work and long discussions. This of course brings questions: Kde Plasma 5 package missing. After half a year of work, I managed to successfully update the Qt5 stack to the last LTS version 5.15.2. On the whole, the most work was updating QtWebengine.

18.  wiconfig - simplifies the configuration of wireless interfaces
    Hi Matthias--appreciate you peeking at the script and exposing the issue. For what it's worth, the script doesn't automatically connect to the strongest network it finds until you configure a specific network, so you'd have to tell it to connect to `rm /etc/wiconfig`, which is akin to someone typing ifconfig iwi0 nwid "`rm /etc/wiconfig`".

21.  CPU affinity comes to OpenBSD
    This commit adds support for CPU affinity to OpenBSD. This will help SMP performance by keeping processes on the same core/CPU if possible, in order to prevent cache flushing and having to repopulate it on the new CPU. It might also pave the way for things like NUMA and improvements in scheduler locking, since it adds per-CPU scheduler queues.
