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

139: <li>resolv.conf.tail read only once, at startup.
140: <li>both OFFER and ACK packets that lack required options are rejected.
1.49 sthen 141: <li>file names passed to '-L' and '-l' are constrained to be regular files.
1.40 krw 142: <li>bind success reported after binding complete, not when it is started.
143: <li>privileged process daemonizes, eliminating its controlling terminal.
144: <li>STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR no longer redirected to /dev/null when '-d' specified.
145: <li>all existing addresses on the interface are deleted when binding a new lease.
146: <li>leases which would cause routing problems because another interface is already configured with the same subnet are rejected.
147: <li>premature and repeated DISCOVER and/or REQUEST messages at startup are avoided.
148: <li>permanent ARP cache entries are no longer deleted during binding.
1.49 sthen 149: <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 150: <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 151: <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 266: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
267: and
268: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
269: Added support for AES-GCM authenticated encryption in SSH protocol 2.
270: The new cipher is available as "aes128-gcm@openssh.com" and
271: "aes256-gcm@openssh.com". It uses an identical packet format to the
272: AES-GCM mode specified in RFC 5647, but uses simpler and different
273: selection rules during key exchange.
274: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
275: and
276: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
277: Added support for encrypt-then-mac (EtM) MAC modes for SSH protocol 2.
278: These modes alter the packet format and compute the MAC over the
279: packet length and encrypted packet rather than over the plaintext
280: data. These modes are considered more secure and are used by default
281: when available.
282: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
283: and
284: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
285: Added support for the UMAC-128 MAC as "umac-128@openssh.com" and
286: "umac-128-etm@openssh.com". The latter being an encrypt-then-mac mode.
287: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
288: Added support for multiple required authentication in SSH protocol 2
289: via an <tt>AuthenticationMethods</tt> option. This option lists one
290: or more comma-separated lists of authentication method names.
291: Successful completion of all the methods in any list is required for
292: authentication to complete. This allows, for example, requiring a
293: user having to authenticate via public key or GSSAPI before they are
294: offered password authentication.
295: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
296: and
297: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
298: Added support for Key Revocation Lists (KRLs), a compact binary
299: format to represent lists of revoked keys and certificates that take
300: as little as one bit per certificate when revoking by serial number.
301: KRLs may be generated using
302: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
303: and are loaded into

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

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

366: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.69 bcallah 367: When muxmaster is run with <tt>-N</tt>, ensure that it shuts down
1.37 sobrado 368: gracefully when a client sends it "-O stop" rather than hanging
369: around. (bz#1985)
370: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:

373: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
374: Record "Received disconnect" messages at ERROR rather than INFO
375: priority. (bz#2057)
376: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

1.7 sthen 383: <li>Over 7,800 ports, major performance and stability improvements in
1.1 sthen 384: the package build process
385: <ul>
1.28 espie 386: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
387: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
388: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
389: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
390: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
1.29 sthen 391: preferentially restarted on the same machine.

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

829: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

1.17 rpe 833: source tree, our ports tree is available via
834: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
835: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1.1 sthen 836: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command

843: <p>
1.67 rpe 844: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1.1 sthen 845: server.]
846: <p>
847: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
848: packages for the 5.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
849: <p>
850: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
851: would like to know more, the mailing list
