Last post pre-EuroBSDCon

Hi folks,

September and its usual accelerating "things-being-made" pace, some events were/are occurring since the last time.

As previously planned LLVM 7.0 is finally released and announced. With so many new items (llvm-mca/exegesis and so on) I am so surprised my small contributions are mentioned :-) Thanks to the resilience of the testers it s done and behind. Starts to be available in some systems, for the Mac users you would have to wait a little bit to see whether in Homebrew (will happen shortly though, PR seems accepted) or simply as final binaries (just got uploaded) ... even more patient to see it landed in Xcode (most likely next year) :-) FreeBSD taking his time to import it as a package (still RC3 when I write) but since the differences are mainly about documentations ... it is pretty safe to still use this version.

Also, nginx/njs had accepted my little contribution, a basic sandbox mode, and released a new 0.2.4 version just this week here. It is always nice to be able to make a difference in such popular softwares :-)

Still contribute to radare2, more about fixing these days, to be able to have a more solid version than 2.9.0. Speaking of this, one of my old fixes got a CVE identifier here.

PHP 7.3 had really entered its RC phase now on master it s the future 7.4 and will start to think to provide few ideas (at least a small percentage of them) I kept wrapped until now.

After the incoming EuroBSDCon, LLVM 8 development with other usual folks like kamil or vitalybuka and so on will finally really start as there is still things (but exciting) ahead of us :-)

For now ... see you in Bucharest (for who is masochist enough for :-P)
