<li>Support for EHCI and OHCI compliant USB controllers on Octeon II SoCs.
<li>Many USB device drivers have been enabled on OpenBSD/octeon.
<li>...
</ul>
<p>
<li>SMP network stack improvements:
<ul>
<li>The Tx queue of the
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=cnmac">cnmac(4)</a>
driver can now be processed in parallel of the rest of the kernel.
<li>Network input path is now run in thread context.
</ul>
<p>
<li>IEEE 802.11 wireless stack improvements:
<ul>
<li>The HT block ack receive buffer logic follows the algorithm given
in the 802.11-2012 spec more closely.
<li>The <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=iwn">iwn(4)</a> driver now
keeps track of HT protection changes while associated to an 11n AP.
<li>The wireless stack and several drivers make more aggressive use
of RTS/CTS to avoid interference from legacy devices and hidden nodes.
</ul>
<p>
<li>Generic network stack improvements:
<ul>
<li>The routing table is now based on
<a href="http://www.hariguchi.org/art/art.pdf">ART</a> offering a
faster lookup.
<li>The number of route lookup per packet has been reduced to 1 in the
forwarding path.
<li>The prio field on VLAN headers is now correctly set on each fragment
of an IPv4 packet going out on a
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/vlan.4">vlan(4)</a> interface.
<li>Enabled device cloning for
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/bpf.4">bpf(4)</a>.
This allows the system to have just one bpf device node in /dev
that services all bpf consumers (up to 1024).
<li>...
</ul>
<p>
<li>Installer improvements:
<ul>
<li>updated list of restricted usercodes
<li>install.sh and upgrade.sh merged into install.sub
<li>update automatically runs <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sysmerge">sysmerge(8)</a>
in batch mode before
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/fw_update">fw_update(1)</a>
<li>questions and answers are logged in a format that can be used as a
response file for use by
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/autoinstall">autoinstall(8)</a>
<li>/usr/local is set to wxallowed during install
</ul>
<p>
<li>Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:
<ul>
<li>Add routing table support to
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/rc.d.8">rc.d(8)</a> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/rcctl.8">rcctl(8)</a>.
<li>Let <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/nc.1">nc(1)</a>
support service names in addition to port numbers.
<li>Add <tt>-M</tt> and <tt>-m</tt> TTL flags to
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/nc.1">nc(1)</a>.
<li>Add <tt>AF_UNIX</tt> support to
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/tcpbench.1">tcpbench(1)</a>.
<li>Fixed a regression in
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/rarpd.8">rarpd(8)</a>.
The daemon could hang if it was idle for a long time.
<li>Added the <tt>llprio</tt> option in
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ifconfig.8">ifconfig(8)</a>.
<li>Multiple programs that use
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/bpf.4">bpf(4)</a>
have been modified to take advantage of
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/bpf.4">bpf(4)</a>
device cloning by opening <tt>/dev/bpf0</tt> instead of looping
through <tt>/dev/bpf*</tt> devices. These programs include
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/arp.8">arp(8)</a>,
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.8">dhclient(8)</a>,
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/dhcpd.8">dhcpd(8)</a>,
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/dhcrelay.8">dhcrelay(8)</a>,
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/hostapd.8">hostapd(8)</a>,
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/mopd.8">mopd(8)</a>,
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/npppd.8">npppd(8)</a>,
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/rarpd.8">rarpd(8)</a>,
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/rbootd.8">rbootd(8)</a>, and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/tcpdump.8">tcpdump(8)</a>.
The <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pcap.3">libpcap</a> library
has also been modified accordingly.
<li>...
</ul>
<p>
<li>Security improvements:
<ul>
<li><tt>W^X</tt> is now strictly enforced by default;
a program can only violate it if the executable is marked with
<tt>PT_OPENBSD_WXNEEDED</tt> and is located on a filesystem
mounted with the <tt>wxallowed</tt>
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/mount.8">mount(8)</a> option.
Because there are still too many ports which violate W^X, the
installer mounts the <tt>/usr/local</tt> filesystem with
<tt>wxallowed</tt>. This allows the base system to be more
secure as long as <tt>/usr/local</tt> is a separate filesystem.
If you use no W^X violating programs, consider manually
revoking that option.
<li>The <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/setjmp.3">setjmp(3)</a>
family of functions now apply XOR cookies to stack and return-address
values in the jmpbuf on amd64, hppa, i386, mips64, and powerpc.
<li>SROP mitigation: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sigreturn.2">sigreturn(2)</a>
can now only be used by the kernel-provided signal trampoline,
with a cookie to detect attempts to reuse it.
<li>To deter code reuse exploits, <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/rc.8">rc(8)</a>
re-links libc.so on startup, placing the objects in a random order.
<li>In the <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/getpwnam.3">getpwnam(3)</a>
family of functions, stop opening the shadow database by default.
<li>Allow <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/tcpdump.8">tcpdump(8)</a>
<tt>-r</tt> to be started without root privileges.
<li>Remove
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-5.9/systrace">systrace</a>.
<li>Remove Linux emulation support.
<li>Remove support for the usermount option.
<li>The TCP SYN cache reseeds its random hash function from
time to time.
This prevents an attacker from calculating the distribution
of the hash function with a timing attack.
<li>To work against SYN flooding attacks the administrator can
change the size of the hash array now.
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/netstat.1">netstat(1)</a>
<tt>-s -p tcp</tt> shows the relevant information to tune
the SYN cache with
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.8">sysctl(8)</a>
<tt>net.inet.tcp</tt>.
<li>The administrator can require root privileges for binding to some TCP
and UDP ports with
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.8">sysctl(8)</a>
<tt>net.inet.tcp.rootonly</tt> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.8">sysctl(8)</a>
<tt>net.inet.udp.rootonly</tt>.
<li>...
</ul>
<p>
<li>Assorted improvements:
<ul>
<li>The thread library can now be loaded into a single-threaded process.
<li>Improved symbol handling and standards compliance in libc.
For example, defining an <tt>open()</tt> function will no longer
interfere with the operation of
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/fopen.3">fopen(3)</a>.
<li><tt>PT_TLS</tt> sections are now supported in initially loaded object.
<li>Improved handling of "no paths" and "empty path" in
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/fts.3">fts(3)</a>.
<li>In <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pcap.3">pcap(3)</a>,
provide the functions <tt>pcap_free_datalinks()</tt>
and <tt>pcap_offline_filter()</tt>.
<li>Many bugfixes and structural cleanup in the
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/editline">editline(3)</a> library.
<li>Remove ancient
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-5.9/dbm.3">dbm(3)</a>
functions;
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ndbm.3">ndbm(3)</a> remains.
<li>Add <tt>setenv</tt> keyword for more powerful environment handling in
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/doas.conf.5">doas.conf(5)</a>.
<li>Add <tt>-g</tt> and <tt>-p</tt> options to
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/aucat.1">aucat.1</a>
for time positioning.
<li>Rewrite <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/audioctl.1">audioctl(1)</a>
with a simpler user interface.
<li>Add <tt>-F</tt> option to
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/install.1">install(1)</a>
to <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/fsync.2">fsync(2)</a>
the file before closing it.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/kdump.1">kdump(1)</a>
now dumps <tt>pollfd</tt> structures.
<li>Improve various details of
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ksh.1">ksh(1)</a> POSIX compliance.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/mknod.8">mknod(8)</a> rewritten in a
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2">pledge(2)</a>-friendly
style and to support creating multiple devices at once.
<li>Implement <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/rcctl.8">rcctl(8)</a>
<tt>get all</tt> and <tt>getdef all</tt>.
<li>Implement the <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/rcs.1">rcs(1)</a>
<tt>-I</tt> (interactive) flag.
<li>In <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/rcs.1">rcs(1)</a>,
implement Mdocdate keyword substitution.
<li>In <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/top.1">top(1)</a>,
allow to filter process arguments if they are being displayed.
<li>Added UTF-8 support to
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/fold.1">fold(1)</a> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/rev.1">rev(1)</a>.
<li>Enable UTF-8 by default in
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/xterm.1">xterm(1)</a> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pod2man.1">pod2man(1)</a>.
<li>Filter out non-ASCII characters in
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/wall.1">wall(1)</a>.
<li>Handle the <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?apropos=1&query=Ev%3DCOLUMNS">COLUMNS</a>
environment variable consistently across many programs.
<li>The options <tt>-c</tt> and <tt>-k</tt> allow to provide
TLS client certificates for
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/syslogd.8">syslogd(8)</a>
on the sending side.
With that the receiving side can verify log messages
are authentic.
Note that syslogd does not have this check feature yet.
<li>When the klog buffer overflows, syslogd will write a log
message to show that some entries is missing.
<li>On OpenBSD/octeon, CPU cache write buffering is enabled
to improve performance.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pkg_add.1">pkg_add(1)</a> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pkg_info.1">pkg_info(1)</a> now
understand a notion of branch to ease selection of some popular
packages such as python or php, e.g., say
<tt>pkg_add python%3.4</tt> to select the <tt>3.4</tt> branch,
and use <tt>pkg_info -zm</tt> to get a fuzzy listing with branch
selection suitable for <tt>pkg_add -l</tt>.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=fdisk">fdisk(8)</a> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pdisk">pdisk(8)</a>
immediately exit unless passed a character special device
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=st">st(4)</a>
correctly tracks the current block count for variable sized blocks
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=fsck_ext2fs">fsck_ext2fs(8)</a>
works again
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=softraid">softraid(4)</a> volumes
can be constructed with disks that have a sector size other than 512 bytes
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dhclient">dhclient(8)</a>
DECLINE's and discards unused OFFER's.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dhclient">dhclient(8)</a>
immediately exits if its interface (e.g. a
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=bridge">bridge(4)</a>)
returns EAFNOSUPPORT when a packet is sent.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=httpd">httpd(8)</a> returns
400 Bad Request for HTTP v0.9 requests.
<li>ffs2's lazy node initialization avoids treating random disk data as
an inode
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=fcntl">fcntl(2)</a> invocations
in base programs use the idiom fcntl(n,F_GETFL) instead of fcntl(n,F_GETFL,0)
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=socket">socket(2)</a> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=accept4">accept4(2)</a> invocations
in base programs use SOCK_NONBLOCK to eliminate the need for a separate
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=fcntl">fcntl(2)</a>.
<li>tmpfs not enabled by default
</ul>
<p>
<li>OpenSMTPD 5.9.1
<ul>
<li>...
</ul>
<p>
<li>OpenSSH 7.3
<ul>
<li>Security:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
Mitigate a potential denial-of-service attack against the system's
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/crypt.3">crypt(3)</a>
function via
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>.
An attacker could send very long passwords that would cause
excessive CPU use in
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/crypt.3">crypt(3)</a>.
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>
now refuses to accept password authentication requests of length
greater than 1024 characters.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
Mitigate timing differences in password authentication that could be
used to discern valid from invalid account names when long passwords
were sent and particular password hashing algorithms are in use on
the server. CVE-2016-6210.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:

</ul>
</ul>
<p>
<li>OpenNTPD 6.0
<ul>
<li>When a single "constraint" is specified, try all returned addresses
until one succeeds, rather than the first returned address.
<li>Relaxed the constraint error margin to be proportional to the number
of NTP peers, avoid constant reconnections when there is a bad NTP
peer.
<li>Removed disabled
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/hotplug.4">hotplug(4)</a>
sensor support.
<li>Added support for detecting crashes in constraint subprocesses.
<li>Moved the execution of constraints from the ntp process to the
parent process, allowing for better privilege separation since the
ntp process can be further restricted.
<li>Added
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2">pledge(2)</a>
support.
<li>Fixed high CPU usage when the network is down.
<li>Fixed various memory leaks.
<li>Switched to RMS for jitter calculations.
<li>Unified logging functions with other OpenBSD base programs.
<li>Set <tt>MOD_MAXERROR</tt> to avoid unsynced time status when using
ntp_adjtime.
<li>Fixed HTTP Timestamp header parsing to use
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/strptime.3">strptime(3)</a>
in a more portable fashion.
<li>Hardened TLS for
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ntpd.8">ntpd(8)</a>
constraints, enabling server name verification.
</ul>
<p>
<li>LibreSSL 2.4.2
<ul>
<li>User-visible features:
<ul>
<li>Fixed some broken manpage links in the install target.
<li><tt>cert.pem</tt> has been reorganized and synced with Mozilla's
certificate store.
<li>Reliability fix, correcting an error when parsing certain ASN.1
elements over 16k in size.
<li>Implemented the IETF <i>ChaCha20-Poly1305</i> cipher suites.
<li>Fixed password prompts from
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/openssl.1">openssl(1)</a>
to properly handle ^C.
</ul>
<li>Code improvements:
<ul>
<li>Fixed an <i>nginx</i> compatibility issue by adding an
'<tt>install_sw</tt>' build target.
<li>Changed default
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/EVP_AEAD_CTX_init.3">EVP_aead_chacha20_poly1305(3)</a>
implementation to the IETF version, which is now the default.
<li>Reworked error handling in <tt>libtls</tt> so that configuration
errors are more visible.
<li>Added missing error handling around
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/bn_wexpand.3">bn_wexpand(3)</a>
calls.
<li>Added
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/explicit_bzero.3">explicit_bzero(3)</a>
calls for freed ASN.1 objects.
<li>Fixed <tt>X509_*set_object</tt> functions to return 0 on allocation
failure.
<li>Deprecated internal use of
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/EVP_EncryptInit">EVP_[Cipher|Encrypt|Decrypt]_Final</a>.
<li>Fixed a problem that prevents the DSA signing algorithm from running
in constant time even if the flag <tt>BN_FLG_CONSTTIME</tt> is set.
<li>Fixed several issues in the OCSP code that could result in the
incorrect generation and parsing of OCSP requests. This remediates
a lack of error checking on time parsing in these functions, and
ensures that only <tt>GENERALIZEDTIME</tt> formats are accepted for
OCSP, as per <i>RFC 6960</i>.
</ul>
<li>The following CVEs have been fixed:
<ul>
<li><tt>CVE-2016-2105</tt>—EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow.
<li><tt>CVE-2016-2106</tt>—EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow.
<li><tt>CVE-2016-2107</tt>—padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check.
<li><tt>CVE-2016-2108</tt>—memory corruption in the ASN.1 encoder.
<li><tt>CVE-2016-2109</tt>—ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation.

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.

<h3 id="sourcecode"><font color="#0000e0">Notes about the source code</font></h3>
<tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
which are in a separate archive.
To extract:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
# <b>cd /usr/src</b>
# <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
</pre></blockquote>
<tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
To extract:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
# <b>cd /usr/src</b>
# <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
</pre></blockquote>
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.

<hr>
<h3 id="ports"><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>cd /usr</b>
# <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
</pre></blockquote>
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 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:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
# <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_0</b>
</pre></blockquote>
[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 6.0 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.
