ttm and radeon DRM updates in DragonF...
Francois Tigeot updated ttm and radeon DRM in DragonFly to match what’s in I assume the Linux 3.18 kernel. Please try if you have the appropriate hardware. This was at the start of May, so you may have already done so without realizing if you run -current. It’ll be in the 5.6 release, too.

Errata patches for OpenBGPD have been released for OpenBSD 6.5.
