OpenBSD 5.8 released with many, many new features

http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.8/ANNOUNCEMENT

Of note:

rtwn(4) and urtwn(4) now support the Realtek 8188 chipset (yay!!!!!)
sudo(1) has been replaced with doas(1)
file(1) has been completely re-written to avoid security problems
nm(1) supports dynamic symbols
fdisk(1) fully supports GPT (meaning the gdisk(1) port is no longer necessary)
httpd(8) now has a Lua-based redirection engine
All base packages now forbid SSH version 1
syslogd(8) can now accept log messages over TCP and UDP

Enjoy!
