Link: https://bsd.slashdot.org/story/25/10/22/20521...

OpenBSD 7.8 has been released, adding Raspberry Pi 5 support, enhanced AMD
Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV-ES) capabilities, and expanded hardware
compatibility including new Qualcomm, Rockchip, and Apple ARM drivers.
Phoronix reports: OpenBSD 7.8 also brings multiple improvements around
enabling AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (AMD SEV) support with support
for the PSP ioctl for encrypting and measuring state for SEV-ES, a new VMD
option to run guests in SEV-ES mode, and other enablement work pertaining to
that AMD SEV work in SEV-ES form at this point as a precursor to SEV-SNP. AMD
SEV-ES should be working to start confidential virtual machines (VMs) when
using the VMM/VMD hypervisor and the OpenBSD guests with KVM/QEMU. OpenBSD
7.8 also improves compatibility of the FUSE file-system support with the
Linux implementation, suspend/hibernate improvements, SMP improvements,
updating to the Linux 6.12.50 DRM graphics drivers, several new Rockchip
drivers, Raspberry Pi RP1 drivers, H.264 video support for the uvideo driver,
and many network driver improvements. The changelog and download page can be
found via OpenBSD.org.
