OpenBSD 8.0 released

Release notes: https://www.openbsd.org/80.html
Announce: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-announce&m=179245843570316&w=2

#release

When I was young, one of my favorite games was Age of Empires, which was released for Windows. I haven't used Windows for a long time, but my love for the game has remained. There is a Linux port of the game called OpenAge. I began porting this game to OpenBSD in 2014; I finished the port last week, and all the patches for OpenBSD have been accepted upstream. Hooray!

I'll sent patches to ports@ soon.

GoT has a planned feature for "web-based issue tracking component which stores data in a Git repository for easy replication and, ideally, offline editing" [3]. I can't wait for it to be implemented.

From time to time, OpenBSD 7.4 amd64 hangs out in a virtual machine with messages "scsi_xfer pool exhausted!" in a system console. How to solve it?

There was a thread in openbsd-misc, but it was 8 years ago.
