128: <li>dhclient-script eliminated, all configuration is done with ioctl's and routing sockets.
129: <li>interface configuration is much faster.
130: <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.

141: <li>resolv.conf.tail read only once, at startup.
142: <li>both OFFER and ACK packets that lack required options are rejected.
1.49 sthen 143: <li>file names passed to '-L' and '-l' are constrained to be regular files.
1.40 krw 144: <li>bind success reported after binding complete, not when it is started.
145: <li>privileged process daemonizes, eliminating its controlling terminal.
146: <li>STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR no longer redirected to /dev/null when '-d' specified.
147: <li>all existing addresses on the interface are deleted when binding a new lease.
148: <li>leases which would cause routing problems because another interface is already configured with the same subnet are rejected.
149: <li>premature and repeated DISCOVER and/or REQUEST messages at startup are avoided.
150: <li>permanent ARP cache entries are no longer deleted during binding.
1.49 sthen 151: <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 152: <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.
1.40 krw 153: <li>hand-rolled IMSG implementation replaced with <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=imsg_init&sektion=3">imsg_init(3)</a> and related functions..

1.37 sobrado 268: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
269: and
270: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
271: Added support for AES-GCM authenticated encryption in SSH protocol 2.
272: The new cipher is available as "aes128-gcm@openssh.com" and
273: "aes256-gcm@openssh.com". It uses an identical packet format to the
274: AES-GCM mode specified in RFC 5647, but uses simpler and different
275: selection rules during key exchange.
276: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
277: and
278: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
279: Added support for encrypt-then-mac (EtM) MAC modes for SSH protocol 2.
280: These modes alter the packet format and compute the MAC over the
281: packet length and encrypted packet rather than over the plaintext
282: data. These modes are considered more secure and are used by default
283: when available.
284: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
285: and
286: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
287: Added support for the UMAC-128 MAC as "umac-128@openssh.com" and
288: "umac-128-etm@openssh.com". The latter being an encrypt-then-mac mode.
289: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
290: Added support for multiple required authentication in SSH protocol 2
291: via an <tt>AuthenticationMethods</tt> option. This option lists one
292: or more comma-separated lists of authentication method names.
293: Successful completion of all the methods in any list is required for
294: authentication to complete. This allows, for example, requiring a
295: user having to authenticate via public key or GSSAPI before they are
296: offered password authentication.
297: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
298: and
299: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
300: Added support for Key Revocation Lists (KRLs), a compact binary
301: format to represent lists of revoked keys and certificates that take
302: as little as one bit per certificate when revoking by serial number.
303: KRLs may be generated using
304: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
305: and are loaded into

311: <tt>IdentitiesOnly</tt> now applies to keys obtained from a
312: PKCS11Provider. This allows control of which keys are offered from
313: tokens using <tt>IdentityFile</tt>.
314: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
315: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>'s
316: AllowTcpForwarding now accepts "<tt>local</tt>" and "<tt>remote</tt>"
317: in addition to its previous "<tt>yes</tt>"/"<tt>no</tt>" keywords to
318: allow the server to specify whether just local or remote TCP
319: forwarding is enabled.
320: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
321: Added a
322: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
323: option <tt>AuthorizedKeysCommand</tt> to support fetching
324: authorized_keys from a command in addition to (or instead of) from
325: the filesystem. The command is run under an account specified by an
326: <tt>AuthorizedKeysCommandUser</tt>
327: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
328: option.
329: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
330: Now supports a <tt>-d</tt> option to allow the starting directory to
331: be something other than the user's home directory.
332: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
333: Now allows fingerprinting of keys hosted in PKCS#11 tokens using
334: "ssh-keygen -lD pkcs11_provider".
335: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
336: When SSH protocol 2 only is selected (the default),
337: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
338: now immediately sends its SSH protocol banner to the server without
339: waiting to receive the server's banner, saving time when connecting.
340: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
341: Added <tt>~v</tt> and <tt>~V</tt> escape sequences to raise and lower
342: the logging level respectively.
343: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
344: Made the escape command help (<tt>~?</tt>) context sensitive so that
345: only commands that will work in the current session are shown.
346: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
347: When deleting host lines from known_hosts using "ssh-keygen -R host",
348: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
349: now prints details of which lines were removed.
1.1 sthen 350: </ul>
351: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
352: <ul>
1.37 sobrado 353: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
354: Force a clean shutdown of ControlMaster client sessions when the
355: <tt>~.</tt> escape sequence is used. This means that <tt>~.</tt>
356: should now work in mux clients even if the server is no longer
357: responding.
358: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
359: Correctly detect errors during local TCP forward setup in multiplexed

361: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
362: Made deleting explicit keys "ssh-add -d" symmetric with adding keys
363: with respect to certificates. It now tries to delete the
364: corresponding certificate and respects the <tt>-k</tt> option to
365: allow deleting of the key only.
366: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:

368: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.69 bcallah 369: When muxmaster is run with <tt>-N</tt>, ensure that it shuts down
1.37 sobrado 370: gracefully when a client sends it "-O stop" rather than hanging
371: around. (bz#1985)
372: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:

1.7 sthen 385: <li>Over 7,800 ports, major performance and stability improvements in
1.1 sthen 386: the package build process
387: <ul>
1.28 espie 388: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
389: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
390: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
391: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
392: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
1.29 sthen 393: preferentially restarted on the same machine.

515: <ul>
516: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
517: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
518: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
519: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
520:
521: <p>
522: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
523: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
524:
525: <p>
526: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
527: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
528: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
529:
530: <p>
531: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
532: read INSTALL.i386.
533:
534: <p>
535: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
536: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
537: use the
1.11 sthen 538: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>

836: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
837: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1.1 sthen 838: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command

845: <p>
1.67 rpe 846: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1.1 sthen 847: server.]
848: <p>
849: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
850: packages for the 5.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
851: <p>
852: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
853: would like to know more, the mailing list
