We have released LibreSSL 3.6.1, which will be arriving in the

stable portable LibreSSL release from the OpenBSD 7.2 branch.

It includes the following fixes from LibreSSL 3.6.0:

 - Custom verification callbacks could cause the X.509 verifier to
   fail to store errors resulting from leaf certificate verification.
     Reported by Ilya Shipitsin.
 - Unbreak ASN.1 indefinite length encoding.
     Reported by Niklas Hallqvist.
 - Fix endian detection on macOS
     Reported by jiegec on Github
