73:
74: <ul>
75:
1.2 ! deraadt 76: <li>Improved hardware support, including:
! 77: <ul>
! 78: <li>MSI interrupts for many devices, on those architectures which can
! 79: support them (amd64, i386, sparc64 only so far).
! 80: <li>A new dma_alloc(9) API makes it easier for kernel code to allocate
! 81: dma-safe memory. Many drivers (especially network drivers) and
! 82: subsystems (in particular scsi and the buffer cache) were adapted
! 83: to use this.
! 84: <li>As a result, big-memory support has been enabled on all possible
! 85: architectures.
! 86: <li>The rather rare bce(4) driver now copies mbufs all the time, to cope
! 87: with the hardware having a 1GB limit.
! 88: <li>Added hds(4), a driver for Hitachi Modular Storage SCSI devices.
! 89: <li>Added myx(4), a driver for the Myricom Myri-10G 10GB Ethernet devices.
! 90: <li>Added dfs(4), a driver for Dynamic Frequency Switching on some macppc
! 91: systems.
! 92: <li>cardbus(4) and pcmcia(4) support on sgi.
! 93: <li>Suspend/resume support on Loongson Yeelong laptops.
! 94: </ul>
! 95: <p>
! 96:
! 97: <li>Generic network stack improvements:
! 98: <ul>
! 99: <li>Added support for sending Wake on Lan packets using arp(8).
! 100: <li>Permit turning Wake on Lan support on/off using ifconfig(8).
! 101: <li>Added Wake on Lan support to xl(4), re(4), and vr(4).
! 102: <li>Allow ftp-proxy to proxy across rdomains.
! 103: <li>The IPv4 stack will no longer accept ICMP redirects when
! 104: acting as a router.
! 105: <li>By default the IPv6 stack will not process ICMP6 redirects.
! 106: rtsol(8) will turn it back if -F is used.
! 107: <li>Reworked large parts of the dhclient(8) options processing for better
! 108: interoperability.
! 109: <li>Fixed carp(4) to work in IPv6 only setups.
! 110: <li>Make it possible to bind(2) to the local network broadcast address
! 111: on datagram and raw sockets.
! 112: <li>The default multicast reject route is now ignored if the UDP socket
! 113: uses the IP_MULTICAST_IF socket option.
! 114: <li>Make gre(4) work between systems in the same LAN.
! 115: <li>Removed the link1 mode special addressing mode on lo(4).
! 116: <li>Kernel randomization speed and quality improved substantially.
! 117: </ul>
! 118: <p>
! 119:
! 120: <li>Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:
! 121: <ul>
! 122: <li>bgpd(8) no longer bumps the rlimits: the rc.d framework respects
! 123: login classes which is a much better solution.
! 124: <li>Correctly set the network filtersets on reload in bgpd(8).
! 125: <li>The routing socket is now sending RTM_DESYNC messages if the
! 126: socketbuffer overflows.
! 127: <li>Allow ospfd(8) to send out LS updates and other messages
! 128: larger than the MTU.
! 129: <li>Fixed nexthop calculation in ospfd(8) for directly connected P2P links.
! 130: <li>First bits to support opaque LSA in ospfd(8). Only basic redistribute
! 131: logic and LSDB handling for now.
! 132: <li>Creating new interfaces will no longer cause a fatal error in ospf6d(8).
! 133: <li>ospf6d(8) handles link-state changes better.
! 134: <li>Better loopback handling in ospf6d(8).
! 135: <li>No longer install extra multicast routes in ripd(8) and ldpd(8).
! 136: <li>Make kqueue(2) work with sosplice(9).
! 137: <li>Enabled sosplice(9) in relayd(8) for TCP.
! 138: <li>Added support for divert-to which provides some benefits over
! 139: rdr-to in relayd(8).
! 140: <li>Fixed trap sending in snmpd(8).
! 141: <li>Make ping6(8) compare minimum amount of bytes between what
! 142: was received and what was sent out.
! 143: <li>Make traceroute(8) with type-of-service setted (-t) display
! 144: a message if the returned packet has a different tos type.
! 145: <li>Added the socket splicing fields of struct socket to netstat -vP output.
! 146: </ul>
! 147: <p>
! 148:
! 149: <li>pf(4) improvements:
! 150: <ul>
! 151: <li>Make pf(4) reassemble IPv6 fragments. In the forward case, pf
! 152: refragments the packets with the same maximum size.
! 153: <li>Allow pf(4) to filter on the rdomain a packet belongs to.
! 154: <li>Make pf(4) allow userland proxies to establish cross rdomain
! 155: proxy sessions.
! 156: <li>Added IPv6 ACK prioritization in pf(4).
! 157: <li>Change 'set skip on <...>' to work with interface groups.
! 158: <li>pfsync(4) supports IPv6 as network protocol.
! 159: <li>Switched ftp-proxy(8) over to divert-to instead of rdr-to.
! 160: <li>tftp-proxy(8) uses 'divert-to' as well.
! 161: </ul>
! 162: <p>
! 163:
! 164: <li>SCSI improvements:
! 165: <ul>
! 166: <li>most SCSI hardware drivers now use the new iopools infrastructure.
! 167: <li>scsi(4) devices are now all provided with a unique devid, which
! 168: is displayed during the probe process.
! 169: <li>ASC/ASCQ error codes and verbiage now in sync with
! 170: http://www.t10.org/lists/asc-num.txt.
! 171: <li>progress on iSCSI includes better login, better logout, preliminary
! 172: FSM support in iscsid(8), and improved logging and debug information.
! 173: <li>uk(4) can now safely and reliably detach an unknown SCSI device.
! 174: <li>mpath(4) device and kernel support is improved.
! 175: <li>vscsi(4) now ensures output always goes to the correct connection.
! 176: <li>vscsi(4) connections can now be reset gracefully.
! 177: <li>scsi(4) devices on fibre channel fabrics no longer inherit the adapter's
! 178: address.
! 179: </ul>
! 180: <p>
! 181:
! 182: <li>Assorted improvements:
! 183: <ul>
! 184: <li>For additional security, security(8) was rewritten in Perl.
! 185: <li>Mandoc 1.11.4: Now accepts eqn(7) input (no fancy formatting yet)
! 186: and supports -Tutf8 output (but no utf8 input yet).
! 187: <li>Removed a variety of OS-compat emulation code, leaving just the Linux
! 188: support.
! 189: <li>Small improvements to Linux compat (only available on i386).
! 190: <li>Improved our own pkg-config(1) implementation with extended comparison
! 191: scheme and implementing various new options.
! 192: <li>The math library, libm, was fully fleshed out to support all C99 required
! 193: parts. Many bugs for various architectures were fixed along the way.
! 194: <li>malloc(3) is a lot faster and has a few further security features (more
! 195: randomization, as well as the 'S' flag to enable all paranoia checks).
! 196: <li>'make depend' is no longer neccessary in kernel compilation directories
! 197: since the dependencies are calculated automatically.
! 198: <li>Increased the default size of the buffer cache.
! 199: <li>kqueue(2) now works on /dev/random and spliced sockets
! 200: <li>On MBR-based disks, scan through up to 256 extended partition tables
! 201: when looking for an OpenBSD partition table.
! 202: <li>Added POSIX 2008 fdopendir(3) and openat(2) functions, as well as the
! 203: O_CLOEXEC, O_DIRECTORY, and F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC flags.
! 204: <li>Improved lint format string checks and added a few other checks.
! 205: <li>kdump(8) now dumps stat and sockaddr structures, sysctl mib
! 206: strings, and decodes syscall flags and operation bits.
! 207: <li>Improved kernel pool debug checking.
! 208: <li>Improved correctness of signals and various syscalls when rthreads
! 209: are in use.
! 210: <li>Kernel malloc(9) space and stacks moved to non-dma memory.
! 211: <li>Fixed some shutdown/reboot hangs on NFS clients.
! 212: <li>UNIX-domain socket paths are now guaranteed to be NUL-terminated.
! 213: <li>Added support for *wprintf(3), wcs{,n}casecmp(3), and wcsdup(3).
! 214: <li>NULL is now a (void *).
! 215: </ul>
! 216: <p>
! 217:
! 218: <li>Install/Upgrade process changes:
! 219: <ul>
! 220: <li>Completed support for DUID disk installs, and enabled it fully.
! 221: <li>Tried to make sysmerge(8) work in the installer, but ran into small
! 222: problems and decided to disable it.
! 223: <li>Install non-free firmwares from the internet upon first boot, based on a
! 224: question in the installer.
! 225: <li>svnd(4)-like behaviour became the default for vnd(4) devices. This is
! 226: what is used to build the media.
! 227: </ul>
! 228: <p>
! 229:
! 230: <li>rc.d(8) framework improvements:
! 231: <ul>
! 232: <li>rc.d(8) is now also used the base system daemons.
! 233: <li>Backward compatible with the historic way of starting daemons.
! 234: <li>Notify the user by appending (ok) or (failed) in interactive mode.
! 235: <li>Better diagnostics with the introduction of RC_DEBUG.
! 236: </ul>
! 237: <p>
! 238:
! 239: <li>OpenSSH 6.0:
! 240: <ul>
! 241: <li>New features:
! 242: <ul>
! 243: <li>Allow cancellation of port forwardings via the multiplexing socket
! 244: (e.g. "ssh -O cancel -R 2222:127.0.0.1:22 user@host")
! 245: <li>Add wildcard support to PermitOpen (e.g. "PermitOpen localhost:*")
! 246: <li>A new "ssh-add -k" option to load only plain keys and not
! 247: certificates into the agent.
! 248: <li>ssh-add now supports loading keys from stdin ("program | ssh-add -")
! 249: <li>Allow graceful shutdown of the multiplexing socket (stop listening,
! 250: but don't interrupt existing connections), using "ssh -O stop".
! 251: <li>"ssh-keygen -A" will now automatically generate host keys of every
! 252: supported type
! 253: <li>Deprecated GlobalKnownHostsFile2, UserKnownHostsFile2 and
! 254: AuthorizedKeysFile2 options. Instead, the corresponding
! 255: GlobalKnownHostsFile UserKnownHostsFile and AuthorizedKeysFile
! 256: options now all accept multiple arguments.
! 257: <li>Add a RequestTTY option to ssh(1) to allow control over TTY
! 258: requests similar to the -t/-tt/-T commandline options.
! 259: <li>ssh_config(5) now supports negated host matching. E.g.
! 260: "Host *.example.org !c.example.org" will match "a.example.org",
! 261: "b.example.org", but not "c.example.org"
! 262: <li>Add experimental systrace(4) sandboxing of pre-auth sshd(8),
! 263: enabled using "UsePrivilegeSeparation=sandbox".
! 264: <li>Add new SHA-2 based HMAC modes for the SSH transport layer from
! 265: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-dbider-sha2-mac-for-ssh-02.txt
! 266: </ul>
! 267: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
! 268: <ul>
! 269: <li>Fix hostbased authentication for hosts using ECDSA keys.
! 270: <li>Fix corruption of file information in sftp(1)'s ls display.
! 271: <li>Fix remote portforwarding with dynamically allocated listen ports.
! 272: </ul>
! 273: </ul>
! 274: <p>
! 275:
! 276: <li>Over 7,200 ports, major robustness and speed improvements in package tools.

392: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
393: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
394: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
395: <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppy50.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
396:
397: <p>
398: Use <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyB50.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
399: support, or <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyC50.fs</i> for better laptop support.

703: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
704: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
705: like:
706: <p>

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

711: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
712: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
713: server.]
714: <p>
715: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
716: packages for the 5.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
717: <p>
718: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
719: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
