dear santa, please bring me some new boots, a sword, some plushies, a sparcstation 20,

@rl_dane @ivan Lot of recent fixes for pkgsrc on Mac OS X 10.4 too, making it a great choice for a distraction-free artistic and programmer workstation that can do everything except the modern web.

@selea A good compiler never came!

some news!

- NetBSD 10 is waiting for OpenSSL 3. This will likely be the last breaking change we make to the BETA, and it's necessary so we can support 10 in the long term.

- For accessibility reasons, a couple of programs in base gained support for the informal no-color.org standard.

- NetBSD make (known as "bmake" elsewhere, or just "make" on FreeBSD) performance improvements! People who spend too much time compiling operating systems ( us 🤔 ) will be pleased.

Fun fact: the 2009 model of Sidekick smartphone came with NetBSD as standard.

you don't have to wear eyeliner while using one, but it helps ✨

Seeing some confused headlines in the past week, "NetBSD adds support for Commodore Amiga"!

We added support for the amiga in 1994.
We added support for amd64 in 2004.
We added support for aarch64 in 2018 (and Apple M1 in 2021).
We improved support for X11 on the Amiga in 2021.
