<h3>What's New</h3> |
|
<p> |
|
This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 2.6. |
|
For a comprehensive list, see the <a href=plus26.html>changelog</a> leading |
|
to 2.6. |
|
<p> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
<li>The most interesting addition is OpenSSH (https://www.OpenSSH.com/). |
|
This is a free and reusable SSH suite based on an early release by Tatu |
|
Ylonen (1.2.12). That release was the last with a free license. OpenSSH |
|
was brought up to current standards and uses the OpenSSL library. It is |
|
free for all except USA commercial users (RSA patent in USA). OpenSSH was |
|
developed by OpenBSD and has been ported to FreeBSD and Linux. |
|
|
|
<li>A clever trick allows us to distribute the same CD-ROM (USA and the |
|
rest of the world) and maintain full strength crypto without violating the |
|
RSA patent in the USA. |
|
|
|
<li>Extensive changes to the documentation, notably the man pages and the |
|
Web FAQ. The manual pages now include useful examples to supplement the |
|
explanations. By keeping the documentation set concise and in two |
|
well-known locations, we hope to avoid the explosion of "How-To" docs that |
|
forces users to search endlessly for information. |
|
|
|
<li>More complete collection of "ports". Ports is the method to use when |
|
importing and building freeware applications from the network |
|
(applications, mailers, browsers, etc.). The user needs only to cd to the |
|
relevant directory and type "make install" to start a process that will |
|
fetch the sources, patch them for OpenBSD, compile and install the |
|
package. Most ports are also available as pre-built packages. |
|
|
|
<li>Includes: |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>XFree86 3.3.5 |
|
<li>gcc 2.95 |
|
<li>Apache 1.3.9 + Mod_ssl 2.4.5 + OpenSSL 0.9.4, and DSO support |
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
<li>Many improvements for security and reliability (look for the red |
|
print in the complete list). |
|
|
|
<li>New hardware devices supported, notably in the PC (i386) architecture. |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>PCI IDE and DMA support |
|
<li>USB (universal serial bus) |
|
<li>ATAPISCSI devices, including CD-R and CD-RWs |
|
</ul> |
