New tools:

GNU RCS has been replaced with OpenRCS.

New functionality:

IPsec ! has been greatly improved: !
- ipsecctl(8) ! has been greatly extended and completely supersedes ipsecadm(8): !
  - Lots of documentation improvements (man ! ipsec.conf) !
  - IPv6 support !
  - AH support !
  - Transport mode support !
  - Dynamic IKE support for roaming users !
  - USER_FQDN id support
  -
- sasyncd(8) - works much better: -
  - communicates with - isakmpd(8), - telling it to run active or passive depending on the master/slave state of the - carp(4) - interfaces. This makes - IPsec - failover setups much more robust. -
  - looks at the - carp(4) - interface group by default to suppress preemption of - IPsec - traffic during system boot. -
  -
- isakmpd(8) - can now be safely configured by - ipsecctl(8) - on startup. -
-
ftp(1) now supports HTTPS. -
cdio(1) can now perform track-at-once burning and rewritable blanking. -
spppcontrol(8) and wicontrol(8) functionality has been merged into - ifconfig(8). -
gcc(1) provides a new warning, -Wstack-larger-than-N, to report functions - which are too greedy in stack variables, see - gcc-local(1) for details. -
An in-kernel getcwd(3) implementation. -
A new system call adjfreq(2) - to allow ntpd(8) - to adjust the tick rate of the system clock automatically. -
Support for X11 on VAX has been added -
Virtual Allocation Table (VAT) support for UDF. -
C99 functions - round(3), - roundf(3), - trunc(3), and - truncf(3) - have been added to libm, the math library. -
pf(4) - now supports Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF) checks for simplified - ingress filtering. -
bpf(4) - can now ignore packets based on their direction (inbound/outbound) using the - BIOCSDIRFILT ioctl. -
pdisk(8) - can now set up slices on HFS(DPME) partitioned disks on mac68k. -
New dissectors have been added to - tcpdump(8): -
- Cisco's VQP (VLAN Query Protocol) -
- IEEE 802.1AB LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) -
-

New sysctls to check the system vendor, product, version, serial number, and UUID. -
Equal cost multipath routing support. Needs to be enabled by a sysctl. -
Prebind, a secure implementation of prelinking, has been added to - ldconfig(8), - it speeds up launching of shared binaries. Prebind is compatible with - address space randomization, unlike prelink. -
vnconfig(8) can now use PKCS #5 PBKDF2 to create a more secure key when using encryption. -

Assorted improvements and code cleanup:

Added a ForceCommand directive to sshd_config(5), similar to the command="..." option in ! ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. !

Added optional logging of transactions to sftp-server(8). !
ssh(1) will now record port numbers for hosts stored in ! ~/.ssh/authorized_keys when a non-standard port has been requested. !

add a "detailed" show rib view to bgpctl, including communities !
allow requesting a route refresh from a peer that supports it !
have bgpd always report back the result of an operation to bgpctl, so ! the operator can spot errors quicker !
allow bgpd to manipulate carp demotion counters based on session states, ! gives even greater failover support !
support restarting sessions that reached max-prefix after a given time !
bgpctl can now show all routes received from a neighbor before filters ! were applied, and routes sent to neighbors !
assorted fixes and improvements, as usual !
