107: <p>
108:
109: <li>Generic network stack improvements:

1.7 dlg 111: <li>Reworking of the MCLGETI livelock algorithm to improve
112: forwarding and host performance under high network load.</li>

114: <p>
115:
116: <li>SCSI improvements:
117: <ul>
1.6 dlg 118: <li>Improved safety when detaching SCSI devices by waiting for
119: the completion of pending commands.</li>
120: <li>Improved hotplug support on mpi(4), mpii(4).</li>
121: <li>Continued iopoolification of SCSI drivers, notably on
122: umass(4) which improves the reliability and performance of

1.8 ! deraadt 135: <li>Fixed the hppa CD installation process.
! 136: <li>Added some more free firmwares to the CD media that could fit them.
! 137: <li>Make the macppc upgrade script update the boot blocks (oddly, this
! 138: had been broken a very long time and noone noticed).
! 139: <li>Teach the install script about the configuration of 802.11 interfaces.
! 140: Visible networks can be listed, and even configured for WPA.

1.3 deraadt 147: <ul>
148: <li>New features:
1.4 sobrado 149: <ul>
150: <li>Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
151: and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
152: offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same
153: equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.</li>
154: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
155: and
156: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
157: add a protocol extension to support a hard link operation. It is
158: available through the "ln" command in the client. The old "ln"
159: behaviour of creating a symlink is available using its "-s" option
160: or through the preexisting "symlink" command.</li>
161: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
162: Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts are
163: transferred through the local host. Without this option the data is
164: copied directly between the two remote hosts.</li>
165: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
166: automatically order the hostkeys requested by the client based on
167: which hostkeys are already recorded in known_hosts. This avoids
168: hostkey warnings when connecting to servers with new ECDSA keys,
169: since these are now preferred when learning hostkeys for the first
170: time.</li>
171: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
172: and
173: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
174: add a new IPQoS option to specify arbitrary TOS/DSCP/QoS values
175: instead of hardcoding lowdelay/throughput. (bz#1733)</li>
176: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
177: the sftp client is now significantly faster at performing directory
178: listings, using OpenBSD glob(3) extensions to preserve the results
179: of stat(3) operations performed in the course of its execution
180: rather than performing expensive round trips to fetch them again
181: afterwards.</li>
182: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
183: "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on a
184: temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
185: succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
186: socket is either ready or stale without races. Stale server sockets
187: are now automatically removed. (also fixes bz#1711)</li>
188: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
189: and
190: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
191: add a <em>KexAlgorithms</em> knob to the client and server
192: configuration to allow selection of which key exchange methods are
193: used by
194: <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: and their order of preference.</li>
198: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
199: and
200: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
201: factor out bandwidth limiting code from
202: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>
203: into a generic bandwidth limiter that can be attached using the
204: <em>atomicio</em> callback mechanism and use it to add a bandwidth
205: limit option to
206: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>.

377: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
378: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
379: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

381:
382: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
383: <ul>
384: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
385: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
386: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
387: <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
388:
389: <p>
390: Use <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyB49.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
391: support, or <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyC49.fs</i> for better laptop support.
392:
393: <p>
394: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
395: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
396: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
397:
398: <p>
399: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
400: read INSTALL.i386.
401:
402: <p>
403: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
404: at <i>CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
405: use the
406: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
407: utility. The following is an example usage of

426: The 4.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
427: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
428: your BIOS options first.
429: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
430: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.9/amd64/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy, then
431: boot from the floppy drive.
432:
433: <p>
434: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
435: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
436: INSTALL.amd64 document.

700: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_9</strong>

704: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

706: <p>
707: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated

709: <p>
710: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
711: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
