1.7 dlg 134: <li>Reworking of the MCLGETI livelock algorithm to improve
135: forwarding and host performance under high network load.</li>
1.3 deraadt 136: </ul>
137: <p>
138:
139: <li>SCSI improvements:
140: <ul>
1.6 dlg 141: <li>Improved safety when detaching SCSI devices by waiting for
142: the completion of pending commands.</li>
143: <li>Improved hotplug support on mpi(4), mpii(4).</li>
144: <li>Continued iopoolification of SCSI drivers, notably on
145: umass(4) which improves the reliability and performance of
146: multi-LUN devices.</li>

155:
156: <li>Install/Upgrade process changes:
157: <ul>
1.8 deraadt 158: <li>Fixed the hppa CD installation process.
159: <li>Added some more free firmwares to the CD media that could fit them.
160: <li>Make the macppc upgrade script update the boot blocks (oddly, this
161: had been broken a very long time and noone noticed).
162: <li>Teach the install script about the configuration of 802.11 interfaces.
163: Visible networks can be listed, and even configured for WPA.
164: <li>The install script now passes collected entropy better to the
165: system which is booted next.

1.3 deraadt 170: <ul>
171: <li>New features:
1.4 sobrado 172: <ul>
173: <li>Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
174: and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
175: offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same
176: equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.</li>
177: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
178: and
179: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
180: add a protocol extension to support a hard link operation. It is
181: available through the "ln" command in the client. The old "ln"
182: behaviour of creating a symlink is available using its "-s" option
183: or through the preexisting "symlink" command.</li>
184: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
185: Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts are
186: transferred through the local host. Without this option the data is
187: copied directly between the two remote hosts.</li>
188: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
189: automatically order the hostkeys requested by the client based on
190: which hostkeys are already recorded in known_hosts. This avoids
191: hostkey warnings when connecting to servers with new ECDSA keys,
192: since these are now preferred when learning hostkeys for the first
193: time.</li>
194: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
195: and
196: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
197: add a new IPQoS option to specify arbitrary TOS/DSCP/QoS values
198: instead of hardcoding lowdelay/throughput. (bz#1733)</li>
199: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
200: the sftp client is now significantly faster at performing directory
201: listings, using OpenBSD glob(3) extensions to preserve the results
202: of stat(3) operations performed in the course of its execution
203: rather than performing expensive round trips to fetch them again
204: afterwards.</li>
205: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
206: "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on a
207: temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
208: succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
209: socket is either ready or stale without races. Stale server sockets
210: are now automatically removed. (also fixes bz#1711)</li>
211: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
212: and
213: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
214: add a <em>KexAlgorithms</em> knob to the client and server
215: configuration to allow selection of which key exchange methods are
216: used by
217: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
218: and
219: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
220: and their order of preference.</li>
221: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
222: and
223: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
224: factor out bandwidth limiting code from
225: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>
226: into a generic bandwidth limiter that can be attached using the
227: <em>atomicio</em> callback mechanism and use it to add a bandwidth
228: limit option to
229: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>.

248: particularly useful in this case. (bz#1837)</li>

400: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
401: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
402: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
403: <p>
404:
405: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
406: <ul>
407: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
408: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
409: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
410: <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
411:
412: <p>
413: Use <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyB49.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
414: support, or <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyC49.fs</i> for better laptop support.
415:
416: <p>
417: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
418: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
419: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
420:
421: <p>
422: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
423: read INSTALL.i386.
424:
425: <p>
426: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
427: at <i>CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
428: use the
429: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
430: utility. The following is an example usage of
431: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
432: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
433: "rfd0a".
434:
435: <ul><pre>
436: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
437: </pre></ul>
438:
439: <p>
440: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
441: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
442: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
443: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

449: The 4.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
450: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
451: your BIOS options first.
452: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
453: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.9/amd64/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy, then
454: boot from the floppy drive.
455:

730: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
