117: <li>SCSI improvements:

1.6 dlg 119: <li>Improved safety when detaching SCSI devices by waiting for
120: the completion of pending commands.</li>
121: <li>Improved hotplug support on mpi(4), mpii(4).</li>

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

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

380: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

384: <ul>
385: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
386: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
387: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
388: <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
389:
390: <p>
391: Use <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyB49.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
392: support, or <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyC49.fs</i> for better laptop support.
393:
394: <p>
395: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
396: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
397: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
398:
399: <p>
400: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
401: read INSTALL.i386.
402:
403: <p>
404: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
405: at <i>CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,

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

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

704: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
705: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
706: server.]
707: <p>
708: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated

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