Lately the NetBSD team puts lots of effort on ARM 64 bit port and some new ARM SoCs support including Allwinner ones. The list of supported Allwinner based boards can be found here. Additionally one can download 32 bit and 64 bit ready-to-go SD card bootable images in http://www.invisible.ca/arm. What is more, NetBSD blog posted an annotated look at a NetBSD Pinebook’s startup.
Finally there is some effort in progress on making Cinnamon desktop environment available for NetBSD!
The Cinnamon Desktop Environment is coming soon to @NetBSD and others on @pkgsrc! It is very fancy and runs well on newer hardware. pic.twitter.com/fb1ccz3KcR

The last but not the least, security audit of NetBSD’s security stack was performed. It resulted in series of security advisories. They can be found in security page. It is recommended to review them and apply fixes to affected systems.
