On September 1, 2016, Theo de Raadt from the OpenBSD project has had the enormous pleasure of announcing the release and general availability of the OpenBSD 6.0 operating system.

OpenBSD 6.0 has been in development for the past five months, and, as expected, it's yet another massive update that contains numerous updated components, new features and under-the-hood improvements, such as support for the armv7 architectures, as well as better IEEE 802.11 wireless stack support. Core components like OpenSSH 7.3, OpenSMTPD 6.0.0, OpenNTPD 6.0, and LibreSSL 2.4.2 are also included.

User-visible changes include the GNOME 3.20.2, 4.14.3, and Xfce 4.12 desktop environments, and open-source software projects like Mozilla Firefox 45.2.0 ESR and 47.0.1, Mozilla Thunderbird 45.2.0, Chromium 51.0.2704.106, GIMP 2.8.16, LibreOffice 5.1.4.2, Vim 7.4.1467, TeX Live 2015, Groff 1.22.3, JDK 7u80 and 8u72, GCC 4.9.3, X.Org 7.7, X.Org Server 1.18.3, Mesa 11.2.2 3D Graphics Library, XTerm 322, Emacs 21.4 and 24.5.
