146: <li>dhclient-script eliminated, all configuration is done with ioctl's and routing sockets.
147: <li>interface configuration is much faster.
148: <li>HUP signals cause dhclient to restart; making it re-read the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient.conf&sektion=5">dhclient.conf(5)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=resolv.conf.tail&sektion=5">resolv.conf.tail(5)</a> files, and obtain a new lease.

151: <li>inteface hardware address changes are detected and cause dhclient to restart.
152: <li>dhclient.conf directive 'ignore' and command line option '-i' added, allowing the suppression of specific options offered by server.

160: <li>both OFFER and ACK packets that lack required options are rejected.
161: <li>file names passed to '-L' and '-l' are contrained to be regular files.
162: <li>bind success reported after binding complete, not when it is started.
163: <li>privileged process daemonizes, eliminating its controlling terminal.
164: <li>STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR no longer redirected to /dev/null when '-d' specified.
165: <li>all existing addresses on the interface are deleted when binding a new lease.
166: <li>leases which would cause routing problems because another interface is already configured with the same subnet are rejected.
167: <li>premature and repeated DISCOVER and/or REQUEST messages at startup are avoided.
168: <li>permanent ARP cache entries are no longer deleted during binding.
169: <li>allow empty lists of option names for 'ignore', 'request', and'require' dhclient.conf directives, so lists can be reset in interface declarations.
1.41 krw 170: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhcpd&sektion=8">dhcpd(8)</a> and dhclient recognize the same list of dhcp options.

1.37 sobrado 233: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
234: and
235: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
236: Added support for AES-GCM authenticated encryption in SSH protocol 2.
237: The new cipher is available as "aes128-gcm@openssh.com" and
238: "aes256-gcm@openssh.com". It uses an identical packet format to the
239: AES-GCM mode specified in RFC 5647, but uses simpler and different
240: selection rules during key exchange.
241: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
242: and
243: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
244: Added support for encrypt-then-mac (EtM) MAC modes for SSH protocol 2.
245: These modes alter the packet format and compute the MAC over the
246: packet length and encrypted packet rather than over the plaintext
247: data. These modes are considered more secure and are used by default
248: when available.
249: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
250: and
251: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
252: Added support for the UMAC-128 MAC as "umac-128@openssh.com" and
253: "umac-128-etm@openssh.com". The latter being an encrypt-then-mac mode.
254: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
255: Added support for multiple required authentication in SSH protocol 2
256: via an <tt>AuthenticationMethods</tt> option. This option lists one
257: or more comma-separated lists of authentication method names.
258: Successful completion of all the methods in any list is required for
259: authentication to complete. This allows, for example, requiring a
260: user having to authenticate via public key or GSSAPI before they are
261: offered password authentication.
262: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
263: and
264: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
265: Added support for Key Revocation Lists (KRLs), a compact binary
266: format to represent lists of revoked keys and certificates that take
267: as little as one bit per certificate when revoking by serial number.
268: KRLs may be generated using
269: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
270: and are loaded into
271: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
272: via the existing <tt>RevokedKeys</tt>
273: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
274: option.
275: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
276: <tt>IdentitiesOnly</tt> now applies to keys obtained from a
277: PKCS11Provider. This allows control of which keys are offered from
278: tokens using <tt>IdentityFile</tt>.
279: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
280: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>'s
281: AllowTcpForwarding now accepts "<tt>local</tt>" and "<tt>remote</tt>"
282: in addition to its previous "<tt>yes</tt>"/"<tt>no</tt>" keywords to
283: allow the server to specify whether just local or remote TCP
284: forwarding is enabled.
285: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
286: Added a
287: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
288: option <tt>AuthorizedKeysCommand</tt> to support fetching
289: authorized_keys from a command in addition to (or instead of) from
290: the filesystem. The command is run under an account specified by an
291: <tt>AuthorizedKeysCommandUser</tt>
292: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
293: option.
294: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
295: Now supports a <tt>-d</tt> option to allow the starting directory to
296: be something other than the user's home directory.
297: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
298: Now allows fingerprinting of keys hosted in PKCS#11 tokens using
299: "ssh-keygen -lD pkcs11_provider".
300: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
301: When SSH protocol 2 only is selected (the default),
302: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
303: now immediately sends its SSH protocol banner to the server without
304: waiting to receive the server's banner, saving time when connecting.
305: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
306: Added <tt>~v</tt> and <tt>~V</tt> escape sequences to raise and lower
307: the logging level respectively.
308: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
309: Made the escape command help (<tt>~?</tt>) context sensitive so that
310: only commands that will work in the current session are shown.
311: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
312: When deleting host lines from known_hosts using "ssh-keygen -R host",
313: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
314: now prints details of which lines were removed.
1.1 sthen 315: </ul>
316: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
317: <ul>
1.37 sobrado 318: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
319: Force a clean shutdown of ControlMaster client sessions when the
320: <tt>~.</tt> escape sequence is used. This means that <tt>~.</tt>
321: should now work in mux clients even if the server is no longer
322: responding.
323: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
324: Correctly detect errors during local TCP forward setup in multiplexed
325: clients. (bz#2055)
326: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
327: Made deleting explicit keys "ssh-add -d" symmetric with adding keys
328: with respect to certificates. It now tries to delete the
329: corresponding certificate and respects the <tt>-k</tt> option to
330: allow deleting of the key only.
331: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
332: Fix a number of parsing and command-editing bugs, including bz#1956.
333: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
334: When muxmaster is run with <tt>-N</tt>, ensured that it shuts down
335: gracefully when a client sends it "-O stop" rather than hanging
336: around. (bz#1985)
337: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
338: When screening moduli candidates, append to the file rather than
339: overwriting to allow resumption. (bz#1957)
340: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
341: Record "Received disconnect" messages at ERROR rather than INFO
342: priority. (bz#2057)
343: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
344: Loudly warn if explicitly-provided private key is unreadable.

1.7 sthen 350: <li>Over 7,800 ports, major performance and stability improvements in
1.1 sthen 351: the package build process
352: <ul>
1.28 espie 353: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
354: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
355: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
356: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
357: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
1.29 sthen 358: preferentially restarted on the same machine.

479: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
480: <ul>
481: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
482: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
483: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
484: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
485:
486: <p>
487: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
488: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
489:
490: <p>
491: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
492: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
493: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
494:
495: <p>
496: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
497: read INSTALL.i386.
498:
499: <p>
500: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
501: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
502: use the
1.11 sthen 503: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 sthen 504: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.11 sthen 505: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

759: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
760: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
761: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
762: Using these files

790: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
791: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
792: if you know nothing about ports
793: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
794: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
795: OpenBSD ports system.
796: <p>
797: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.11 sthen 798: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
1.1 sthen 799: cvs(1)</a> if
800: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
1.17 rpe 801: source tree, our ports tree is available via
802: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
803: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1.1 sthen 804: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
805: like:
806: <p>
807: <ul><pre>
808: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_3</strong>
809: </pre></ul>
810: <p>
811: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
812: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
813: server.]
814: <p>
815: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
816: packages for the 5.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
817: <p>
818: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
819: would like to know more, the mailing list
820: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
