Errata patches for OpenBGPD have been released for OpenBSD 6.5.
Several issues were corrected in bgpd: \"network\" statements with no fixed
prefix were incorrectly removed when configuration was reloaded, \"export
default-route\" did not work, and \"network 0.0.0.0/0\" could not be used
in some cases.
Binary updates for the amd64, i386, and [...]

FreeBSD 11.3-BETA3 Available
The third BETA build for the FreeBSD 11.3 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, armv6, arm64, i386, powerpc, powerpc64, and sparc64 architectures are available on most of our FreeBSD mirror sites.
vkernel as background process
A question on starting up a virtual kernel on DragonFly and sticking it in the background led to some suggestions – follow the thread.
Release shrinkage
The next release of DragonFly should be smaller; Sascha Wildner and Rimvydas Jasinskas have removed or substituted enough packages on the installer image to drop the package disk usage 50%.

developers are conservative with changes to this branch and many users

DragonFly, mysql, ipv6, and defaults
I am posting this so it can help someone else, someday.
I have a DragonFly-5.4 system. I installed mysql56-server, and started it up. By default, it listens on “*”, which meant it listens on a local socket and IPv6 ::1 – not 127.0.0.1.
2019-06-04 13:35:03 15833 [Note] IPv6 is available.
