- OpenBSD 4.7 RELEASED ————————————————-
May 19, 2010.
We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 4.7.
This is our 27th release on CD-ROM (and 28th via FTP). We remain
proud of OpenBSD’s record of more than ten years with only two remote
holes in the default install.
Many people have received their 4.6 CDs in the mail by now, and we
really don’t want them to be without the full package repository.

probably wont hold [...]

This a problem that grows and there are many technologies how to fight it.
