<li>Traffic destinated to link-local IPv6 addresses can now be seen with tcpdump(8).
<li> ...
</ul>
<p>
<li>Installer improvements:
<ul>
<li>The <tt>etc</tt> and <tt>xetc</tt> sets are now part of <tt>base</tt> and
<tt>xbase</tt> and are not distributed separately anymore. They are extracted
from <tt>base</tt> and <tt>xbase</tt> during installation and upgrade.<br>
<b>Note that this includes the <tt>rc</tt> and <tt>rc.conf</tt> files!</b>
<li>The installer now supports
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man4/trunk.4?query=trunk&sec=4">trunk(4)</a>
interfaces during upgrades.
<li>The discovery of the responsefile location for unattended installation and
upgrade has been extended to be more flexible.
<ul>
<li>Ask for the location if dhcp discovery fails for location or mode.
<li>Provide a default url if the 'next-server' dhcp option is found.
<li>Use <tt>/auto_install.conf</tt> or <tt>/auto_upgrade.conf</tt> if present.
<li>Automatically start installer in unattended mode if either one of these
files is present when the system boots.
</ul>
<li>Ignore hostname.if.* files when upgrading.
<li>Configure all physical interfaces before any dynamic interface types (e.g. trunks, vlans) when upgrading.
<li>
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fdisk&sektion=8">fdisk(8)</a> now zeros out GPT signatures found when writing out an MBR that has been re-initialzed and has no EFI or EFISYS partition.
<li>Fixed manipulation of 'ro' and 'rw' fstab options to avoid damage to other options that happen to contain 'ro' or 'rw'.
<l>The ramdisk binary (one binary contains all the commands) is now compiled without optimization and security features. The benefit is a substantial savings in space, allowing more features in the future.
</ul>
<p>
<li>Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:
<ul>
<li>nginx and sliplogin have been removed.
<li>IPv6 router solicitations are now sent by the kernel ("inet6 autoconf"); rtsol(8) and rtsold(8) are no longer necessary and have been removed.
<li> ...
</ul>
<p>
<li>Security improvements:
<ul>
<li>Stricter enforcement of W^X in the kernel address space, especially on architectures with the right featureset (amd64, in particular has seen substantial improvements).

<li>Many conversions from <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=select&sektion=2">select(2)</a> to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=poll&sektion=2">poll(2)</a>.
<li>/var/tmp is now a symbolic link to /tmp, as a first step towards reducing the "fill it up" attack surface against the /var partition.
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=memcpy&sektion=3">memcpy(3)</a> with overlapping arguments now aborts a program (with a syslog report), allowing these problems to be found. Overlapping copies should use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=memmove&sektion=3">memmove(3)</a>. Sometime after 5.7 release, having learned more about the situation and repairing instances that are discovered by users during release use, we will go back to the optimized version.
<li>Change
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rand&sektion=3">rand(3)</a>,

<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=lcong48_deterministic&sektion=3">lcong48_deterministic(3)</a>,
are added for cases where determinism must be requested.
<li>At resume (or unhibernate) time, use a variety of methods to reseed the random number generator. This also works on VM's which wake up (if a wakeup event is seen).
<li>All architectures have been transitioned so to static PIE, meaning the statically linked binaries in /bin and /sbin now have randomly located text segments.

<li>...
</ul>
<p>
<li>OpenSSH 6.8
<ul>
<li>Potentially-incompatible changes:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
<tt>UseDNS</tt> now defaults to 'no'. Configurations that match
against the client host name (via
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
or <tt>authorized_keys</tt>) may need to re-enable it or convert to

and
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>,
and equivalent command-line flags to the other tools to control
algorithm used for key fingerprints. The default changes from MD5
to SHA256 and format from hex to base64. Fingerprints now have the
hash algorithm prepended. Please note that visual host keys will also
be different.
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
Experimental host key rotation support. Add a protocol extension
for a server to inform a client of all its available host keys after
authentication has completed. The client may record the keys in
<tt>known_hosts</tt>, allowing it to upgrade to better host key
algorithms and a server to gracefully rotate its keys. The client
side of this is controlled by a <tt>UpdateHostkeys</tt> config option
(default off).

<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=apropos&sektion=1">apropos(1)</a>, and
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mandoc&sektion=1">mandoc(1)</a>
now have a unified user interface, all with the same options,
and are in fact all implemented by the same binary program.
<li>For <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=man&sektion=1">man(1)</a>,
this implies new options -l and -IKOTW,

using MathML.
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mandoc&sektion=1">mandoc(1)</a>
can no longer fail with fatal errors, no matter how broken the input
file may be, and the -Wfatal message level no longer has any effect.
A new diagnostic level -Wunsupp is provided. Besides, many
diagnostic messages are now more specific.
<li>Many crashes were fixed that Jonathan Gray found with the
American Fuzzy Lop (afl).
</ul>
<p>
<li>Syslogd:
<ul>
<li>OpenBSD <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslogd&sektion=8">syslogd(8)</a>

The syntax to specify the loghost is documented in
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslog.conf&sektion=5">syslog.conf(5)</a>.
<li>Sending over TCP and TLS is reliable.
If a connection terminates, syslogd tries to reconnect.
When the message buffer in memory gets full, the number of dropped
messages is counted and logged.
<li>With TLS the x509 certificate of the syslog server is verified.
<li>The maximum message size has been increased according to newer RFC.

Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
form of install. The instructions for doing an HTTP (or other style
of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
purchased a CDROM instead.

<p>
Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
<ul>
The OpenBSD/i386 release is on CD1.
Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
your BIOS options first.
<p>
If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
you can install across the network using PXE as described in
the included INSTALL.i386 document.
<p>
If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
read INSTALL.i386.
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/amd64:</font></h3>
<ul>
The OpenBSD/amd64 release is on CD2.
Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
your BIOS options first.
<p>
If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
INSTALL.amd64 document.
<p>
If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
read INSTALL.amd64.
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>
<ul>
Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, and power on your machine
while holding down the <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and
shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
<p>
Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot
/5.7/macppc/bsd.rd</i>
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>
<ul>
Put CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
<p>
If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
<i>CD3:5.7/sparc64/floppy57.fs</i> or <i>CD3:5.7/sparc64/floppyB57.fs</i>
(depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
<p>
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
will most likely fail.
<p>
You can also write <i>CD3:5.7/sparc64/miniroot57.fs</i> to the swap partition on
the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
<p>
If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/alpha:</font></h3>
<ul>
<p>Write <i>FTP:5.7/alpha/floppy57.fs</i> or
<i>FTP:5.7/alpha/floppyB57.fs</i> (depending on your machine) to a diskette and
enter <i>boot dva0</i>. Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details.
<p>
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
will most likely fail.
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/armish:</font></h3>
<ul>
<p>
After connecting a serial port, Thecus can boot directly from the network
either tftp or http. Configure the network using fconfig, reset,
then load bsd.rd, see INSTALL.armish for specific details.
IOData HDL-G can only boot from an EXT-2 partition. Boot into linux
and copy 'boot' and bsd.rd into the first partition on wd0 (hda1)
then load and run bsd.rd, preserving the wd0i (hda1) ext2fs partition.
More details are available in INSTALL.armish.
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/hppa:</font></h3>
<ul>
<p>
Boot over the network by following the instructions in INSTALL.hppa or the
<a href="hppa.html#install">hppa platform page</a>.
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/landisk:</font></h3>
<ul>
<p>
Write <i>miniroot57.fs</i> to the start of the CF
or disk, and boot normally.
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/loongson:</font></h3>
<ul>
<p>
Write <i>miniroot57.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot bsd.rd from it
or boot bsd.rd via tftp.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.loongson for more details.
</ul>
<p>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/luna88k:</font></h3>
<ul>
<p>
Copy `boot' and `bsd.rd' to a Mach or UniOS partition, and boot the bootloader
from the PROM, and the bsd.rd from the bootloader.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.luna88k for more details.
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/octeon:</font></h3>
<ul>
<p>
After connecting a serial port, boot bsd.rd over the network via DHCP/tftp.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.octeon for more details.
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sgi:</font></h3>
<ul>
<p>
To install, burn cd57.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your
machine and select <i>Install System Software</i> from the System Maintenance
menu. Indigo/Indy/Indigo2 (R4000) systems will not boot automatically from
CD-ROM, and need a proper invocation from the PROM prompt.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
<p>
If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network
server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using the kernel matching your
system type. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/socppc:</font></h3>
<ul>
<p>
After connecting a serial port, boot over the network via DHCP/tftp.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.socppc for more details.
</ul>
<p>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
<ul>
Boot from one of the provided install ISO images, using one of the two
commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.
<ul><pre>
ok <strong>boot cdrom 5.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
or
> <strong>b sd(0,6,0)5.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
</pre></ul>
<p>
If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
To do so you need to write <i>floppy57.fs</i> to a floppy.
For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
depending on the version of your ROM.
<ul><pre>
ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
or
> <strong>b fd()</strong>
</pre></ul>
<p>
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
will most likely fail.
<p>
If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
INSTALL.sparc file.
</ul>
<p>

openbsd57_arm.ipk package. Reboot, then run it. Read INSTALL.zaurus
for a few important details.

If you already have an OpenBSD 5.6 system, and do not want to reinstall,
upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the

src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
in a separate archive. To extract:
<p>
<ul><pre>
# <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
# <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
# <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
</pre></ul>
<p>
sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
To extract:
<p>
<ul><pre>
# <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
# <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
# <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>
</pre></ul>
<p>
Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
Using these files
results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

<h3><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
<p>
A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
<p>
<ul><pre>
# <strong>cd /usr</strong>
# <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
</pre></ul>
<p>
Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
if you know nothing about ports
at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
OpenBSD ports system.
<p>
The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
cvs(1)</a> if
you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
source tree, our ports tree is available via
<a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
with a command like:
<p>
<ul><pre>
# <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
# <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_7</strong>
</pre></ul>
<p>
[Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
server.]
<p>
Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
ports for the 5.7 release will be made available if problems arise.
<p>
If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
would like to know more, the mailing list
<a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
