OpenBSD -current has moved to version 7.8

Contributed by rueda on 2025-09-24 from the here-we-go-again dept.

The OpenBSD 7.8 release cycle is entering its final phases…

With the following commit, Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) moved -current to version 7.8 (dropping the "-beta"):

List:       openbsd-cvs
Subject:    CVS: cvs.openbsd.org: src
From:       Theo de Raadt <deraadt () cvs ! openbsd ! org>
Date:       2025-09-30 14:49:51

CVSROOT:	/cvs
Module name:	src
Changes by:	deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org	2025/09/30 08:49:51

Modified files:
	sys/conf       : newvers.sh 

Log message:
move out of -beta

For those unfamiliar with the process:
this is not the 7.8 release, but is part of the standard build-up to the release.

Remember: It's time to start using "-D snap" with pkg_add(1) (and pkg_info(1)).

(Regular readers will know what comes next…)
This serves as an excellent reminder to upgrade snapshots frequently, test both base and ports, and report problems [plus, of course, donate!].
