Sunny summer ?

Hi folks,

The sun is surprisingly present these days in the emerald island !

Couple of tiny updates, took my first take at golang mainly targeted at FreeBSD (anyway the usual OpenBSD contributors are already doing an excellent work :-)), small things really just adding get random support for FreeBSD 12.x we ll see in November ...

About the future php 7.3 version, the feature freeze time is for August ; so i try to push in similar manner this new getrandom usage ... Beyond that a lot of zend engine optimisations had been done since 7.2 among other things.

And LLVM, as promised now OpenBSD is able to run most of UBsan unit tests, for next will try to make available X-ray and maybe fuzzer ones.

Also noted gzdoom is going to be available as package on OpenBSD, after LMMS ; things start to be visible slowly but surely ;-) ...

Finally contributed to musl libc, pretty well reputated, to add explicit_bzero. They just started to discuss adding an arc4random implementation, the hardest part is the blocking side as always ... I do not think they will choose Chacha family though but ... we ll see.

Professionally a little loop back to Windows programming very shortly back to unixes :)

Enjoy your summer !

2017 and new promises ...

Hi folks,

First of all happy new year 2017 ! And may BSD operating systems raising more ;-)

So, little updates again, one I mentioned in an earlier post (implicitly) about bringing explicit_bzero within php (and updating strl* family functions in the same time) now merged upstream

After couple months of waiting, h2o 2.1.0 is finally released which will now allows to start to make the OpenBSD port proposal.

There will be further updates soon hopefully so stay tuned ;-)
