HardenedBSD-10-STABLE-v46.2 - https://github.com/HardenedBSD/hardenedBSD-stable/releases/tag/HardenedB...

This is a security update, but by default none of the currently released FreeBSD SAs affect HardenedBSD, since we fixed the libarchive issue in v46.1 and the COMPAT layers are disabled by default.

LibreSSL in HardenedBSD Base

A few months ago, we added Bernard Spil to the HardenedBSD team with a goal to bring in and maintain LibreSSL in base. Given the effort involved in maintaining such a complex piece of software, we at HardenedBSD have made the decision to keep it as a feature branch in the playground repo for now. Those who wish to check out Bernard's awesome, hard work can check out the repo here. We will soon start auto-syncing that feature branch on our normal six-hour cycle and we will produce periodic binary updates. As of today, the first binary update has been published. You can use this hbsd-update.conf file to tell hbsd-update to switch to the LibreSSL branch. If you wish to compile your own version of HardenedBSD with LibreSSL base, you will need to add WITH_LIBRESSL=yes to src.conf.

We would like to thank Bernard for volunteering. He has been a tremendous help. Here is a teaser screenshot.
