now supports Ralink RT3900E (RT5390, RT3292) devices.
<li>The <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/iwn.4">iwn(4)</a> drivers
now support the short guard interval (SGI) in 11n mode.
<li>Added a new implementation of MiRa, a rate adapation algorithm
designed for 802.11n.

<li>The <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/rtwn.4">rtwn(4)</a> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/urtwn.4">urtwn(4)</a> drivers
now use AMRR rate adaptation (8188EU and 8188CE devices only).
<li>TKIP/WPA1 was disabled by default because of inherent weaknesses
in this protocol.
</ul>
<p>
<li>Generic network stack improvements:
<ul>
<li>New <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/switch.4">switch(4)</a>
pseudo-device together with new
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/switchd.8">switchd(8)</a> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/switchctl.8">switchctl(8)</a>
programs.
<li>New <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/mobileip.4">mobileip(4)</a>
operation mode for the
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/gre.4">gre(4)</a>
pseudo-device.
<li>Multipoint-to-multipoint mode in
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/vxlan.4">vxlan(4)</a>.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/route.8">route(8)</a>
and netstat -r display all routing flags correctly and they
are completely documented in the
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/netstat.1">netstat(1)</a>
man page.
<li>When sending TCP streams they are locally stored in large
mbuf clusters to improve memory management.
The maximum TCP send and receive buffer size has been
increased from 256MB to 2GB.
Note that this results in a different
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
OS fingerprint for OpenBSD.
The default limit for mbuf clusters has been increased.
You can check the values with
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/netstat.1">netstat(1)</a>
-m and adjust them with
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.8">sysctl(8)</a>
kern.maxclusters.
<li>Make the TCP_NOPUSH flag work for
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/listen.2">listen(2)</a>
sockets.
It is inherited by the socket returned from
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/accept.2">accept(2)</a>.
<li>A lot of code has been removed or simplified to make the
transition to multi-processor easier.
Redesign the interrupt and multi-processor locks in the
network stack.
<li>When passing packets from the network stack to the
interface layer, make sure that they have no pointers to
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
which could result in a memory free operation at the wrong
protection level.
<li>Fix checksum calculation in
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
af-to ICMP packet conversions.
Simplify af-to processing in and fix path MTU discovery in
some corner cases.
<li>Improve IPv6 fragment processing.
Drop empty atomic fragments early.
Be more paranoid when IPv6 hop-by-hop headers appear after
fragment headers.
Follow RFC 5722 "Handling of Overlapping IPv6 Fragments"
more strictly in
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>.
RFC 8021 "IPv6 Atomic Fragments Considered Harmful" deprecates
generating atomic fragments, so do not send them anymore.
<li>Depending on the addresses,
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ipsecctl.8">ipsecctl(8)</a>
may automatically group SA bundles together.
To make clear what is going on, the kernel provides this
information and ipsecctl -s sa prints IPsec SA bundles.
<li>A new routing socket message type, RTM_PROPOSAL, was added to
facilitate future improvements to the network configuration process.
<li>...
</ul>
<p>
<li>Installer improvements:
<ul>
<li>The installer now uses privilege separation for fetching and
verifying the install sets.
<li>Install sets are now fetched over an HTTPS connection by default
when using a <a href="ftp.html">mirror</a> that supports it.
<li>The installer now considers all of the DHCP information in filename,
bootfile-name, server-name, tftp-server-name, and next-server when
attempting to do automatic installs or upgrades.
<li>The installer no longer adds a route to an alias IP via 127.0.0.1, due
to improvements in the kernel routing components.
<li>...
</ul>
<p>
<li>Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ping.8">ping(8)</a> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ping6.8">ping6(8)</a> are now the same
binary and share the engine.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ripd.8">ripd(8)</a> now supports
p2p links with addresses in different subnets.
<li>UDP speakers can specify an IPv4 source address using
<tt>IP_SENDSRCADDR</tt>.
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a>
and <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/snmpd.8">snmpd(8)</a> now
use the proper source address when sending replies.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/snmpd.8">snmpd(8)</a> now
supports multiple listening sockets.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ospfd.8">ospfd(8)</a> and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ospf6d.8">ospf6d(8)</a> now cope
with interface MTU change at runtime.
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.8">bgpd(8)</a> now supports
BGP Large Communities
(<a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8092.txt">RFC 8092</a>).
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.8">bgpd(8)</a> now supports

(<a href="https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idr-shutdown.txt">draft-ietf-idr-shutdown</a>).
<li>...
</ul>
<p>

<ul>
<li>Enforcement of userland W^X on OCTEON Plus and later.
<li>All shared libraries, all dynamic and static-PIE executables, and
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ld.so.1">ld.so(1)</a> itself use
the RELRO ("read-only after relocation") design such that
more of the initial data is protected as read-only.
<li>The size of user virtual address space has been increased
from 2GB to 1TB on mips64.

<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/malloc.3">malloc(3)</a> option is used.
The existing S option now includes C.
<li>Support for permitting non-root users to
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/mount.8">mount(8)</a> filesystems

<li>...
</ul>
<p>
<li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.8">dhclient(8)</a>/
<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/dhcpd.8">dhcpd(8)</a>/

<h3 id="upgrade"><font color="#0000e0">How to upgrade</font></h3>
If you already have an OpenBSD 6.0 system, and do not want to reinstall,
upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
<a href="faq/upgrade61.html">Upgrade Guide</a>.
<p>
<hr>
<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.
<p>
<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_1</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 6.1 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.
