68: <p>
69: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 5.0.
70: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus50.html">changelog</a> leading
71: to 5.0.
72: <p>
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>
1.3 ! deraadt 232: <li>rc.d(8) is now also used for the base system daemons.
1.2 deraadt 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
1.3 ! deraadt 265: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-dbider-sha2-mac-for-ssh-02.txt
1.2 deraadt 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>

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

389:
390: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
391: <ul>
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.
400:
401: <p>
402: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
403: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
404: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
405:
406: <p>
407: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
408: read INSTALL.i386.
409:
410: <p>
411: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
412: at <i>CD1:5.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
413: use the
414: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
415: utility. The following is an example usage of
416: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

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

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

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

717: <p>
718: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
