New tools:

+
- Imported the tmux(1) terminal multiplexer, replacing window(1).
+
-
New functionality:
-
+pf(4) improvements:
+
+ - Enabled pf(4) by default in the rc.conf(8).
+
- Removed pf(4) scrub rules, and only do one kind of packet reassembly.
+ Rulesets with scrub rules need to be modified because of this.
+
- Regular rules can now have per-rule scrub options.
+
- Added new "match" keyword which only applies rule options but does
+ not change the current pass/block state.
+
- Make all pf(4) operations transactional to improve atomicity of reloads.
+
- Stricter pf(4) checking for ICMP and ICMPv6 packets.
+
- Various improvements to pfsync(4) to lower sync traffic bandwidth and
+ optionally allow active-active firewall setups.
+
- Fix pf(4) scrub max-mss for IPv6 traffic.
+
-
Assorted improvements and code cleanup:
-
+OpenBGPD, OpenOSPFD and other routing daemon improvements:
+
+ - In bgpd(8), rework most of the RDE to allow multiple RIBs.
+ It is possible to filter per-RIB and attach neighbors to a specific RIB.
+
- Added an option to bgpd(8) to change the "connect-retry" timer.
+
- Allow bgpd.conf(5) and bgpctl(8) to contain 32-bit ASN numbers written in
+ ASPLAIN format.
+
- Fix bgpd(8) to correctly encode MP unreachable NLRI so IPv6 prefixes get
+ removed correctly.
+
- Changed the behaviour of "redistribute default" for ospfd(8) and ripd(8).
+ A default route has to be present in the FIB to be correctly advertised.
+
- Make ospfd(8) and ripd(8) track reject and blackhole routes and allow
+ them to be redistributed even if pointing to 127.0.0.1.
+
- Allow to specify an alternate control socket for ospfd(8).
+
- ospfd(8) can now be bound into an alternate routing domain.
+
- Fix ospfd(8) route metric for "redistribute default".
+
- Initial version of ldpctl(8) and ldpd(8), a label distribution protocol
+ daemon for mpls.
+
- Make dvmrp(8) RDE aware of multicast group members per interface.
+
- Support for pruning in dvmrp(8).
+
+
Generic Network-Stack improvements:
+
+ - Support for virtual routing and firewalling with the addition of routing
+ domains.
+
- Add code in ifconfig(8) to bind an interface to a routing domain.
+
- Add support to ping(8), traceroute(8), arp(8), nc(1) and telnet(1) to
+ specify which routing domain to use.
+
- Allow ifconfig(8) to turn off IPv6 completely for an interface and
+ make rtsold(8) turn on inet6 on the interface.
+
- Routes track the interface link state.
+
- route(8) flush accepts "-iface" or "-priority" to only flush routes
+ matching these conditions.
+
- Multiple dhclients can now coexist without causing mayhem.
+
- Make wireless interfaces have an interface priority of 4 by default.
+ Makes them less preferred then wired interfaces.
+
- Do not accept IPv4 ICMP redirects by default.
+
- Added the MAC address to the log entries in dhclient(8).
+
- Make systat(1) show interface description names in the interface view.
+
- Make tun(4) emulate link state depending on the open and close of the
+ device fd.
+
- Use pf state-table information to speed up decision on whether a packet
+ is to be delivered locally or forwarded.
+
- More routing socket checks added to make userland applications more
+ resilient to kernel changes.
+
+
+
Install/Upgrade process changes:
-
+
+ - New disklabel(8) automatic partition allocator with a variety of
+ smart heuristics.
+
- The installer has been nearly rewritten mostly with a focus on
+ simplifying installation.
