WHAT'S NEW
+
+ This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 2.6.
+ For a comprehensive list, see the changelog leading
+ to 2.6.
+
+
+
+ - The most interesting addition is OpenSSH (http://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.
+
+
- 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.
+
+
- 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.
+
+
- 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.
+
+
- Includes:
+
+ - XFree86 3.3.5
+
- gcc 2.95
+
- Apache 1.3.9 + Mod_ssl 2.4.5 + OpenSSL 0.9.4
+
+
+ - Many improvements for security and reliability (look for the red
+ print in the complete list).
+
+
- New hardware devices supported, notably in the PC (i386) architecture.
