- OpenBSD 4.5 RELEASED -------------------------------------------------

May 1, 2009.

We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 4.5.
This is our 25th release on CD-ROM (and 26th via FTP).  We remain
proud of OpenBSD's record of more than ten years with only two remote
holes in the default install.

As in our previous releases, 4.5 provides significant improvements,
including new features, in nearly all areas of the system:

- New/extended platforms:
    o Initial ports to the xscale based gumstix platform and the ARM
      based OpenMoko
    o OpenBSD/sparc64
      o New vdsk(4) and vnet(4) drivers provide support for virtual
        I/O between logical domains on Sun's CoolThreads servers,
        including UltraSPARC T2+ machines.
      o Workstations and laptops with UltraSPARC IIe CPUs can now scale
        down the CPU frequency to save power. 

- Improved hardware support, including:
    o Several new/improved drivers for sensors, including:
      o The cac(4)  driver now has bio and sensor support.
      o The mpi(4) driver now has bio and sensor support.
      o New gpiodcf(4) driver for DCF77/HBG timedelta sensors
        through GPIO pins.
