The reverts will continue until morale improves

Many readers will be aware that an unusually high number of features have been reverted from the PostgreSQL 19 branch after the beta period began. Having some reverts is not unusual, maybe one per cycle could be expected. But this time around, about 8 to 10 significant features, depending on how you count, have been reverted, and some of them quite late in the beta period.

The End of Rationing

OpenBSD 8.0 release will have inteldrm/radeondrm/amdgpu drivers from Linux 6.18

I think it's about time for some #OpenBSD #80HYPE :flan_hacker: :flan_cool: > Clang/LLVM 22 is now OpenBSD's base compiler on clang architectures, including updated libc++{,abi}, compiler-rt & libunwind support libraries. https://bsd.network/@brynet/116658062479940402 > OpenBSD/sparc64 switches to Clang by default! This was the last significant architecture to switch. This makes OpenBSD the only operating system to support sparc64 with a modern toolchain. https://bsd.network/@brynet/117130130536792528 > Since 7.9, Jonathan Gray (jsg@) has continued to update the drm graphics stack (inteldrm/radeondrm/amdgpu) bringing OpenBSD 8.0 to Linux 6.18.y/6.18.53, adding driver support for Intel Arc A-Series (DG2/Alchemist) cards. > > Increase
