1.1 deraadt 125: </ul>
126: <p>
127:
128: <li>Generic network stack improvements:
129: <ul>
1.20 mpi 130: <li> Incoming and forwarded IP packets are now processed without
131: KERNEL_LOCK, resulting in better performances and reduced latency
1.4 florian 132: <li> The kernel no longer handles IPv6 Stateless Address
133: Autoconfiguration (RFC 4862), allowing cleanup and simplification
134: of the IPv6 network stack.
135: <li> The kernel sends IPv6 router solicitations for link local addresses
136: with a link local source address.
1.16 mikeb 137: <li> FQ-CoDel algorithm has been implemented for use with <a
138: href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.conf#QUEUEING">pf(4) queueing</a>.
1.31 ! bluhm 139: <li>Improve IPv6 checks for IPsec policies and make them consistent
! 140: with IPv4.
! 141: <li>Refactor local IP delivery to process IPsec packets in a flow.
! 142: Avoid that they are enqueued a second time.
! 143: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
! 144: looks into AH packets and matches on the inner protocol.
! 145: This makes IPv4 authentication headers work like IPv6.
! 146: <li>The length of extension header chains in pf(4) is limited.
! 147: This prevents spending excessive cpu time on crafted packets.
! 148: <li>Block IPv6 packets in pf(4) that have hop-by-hop options
! 149: header or destination options header.
! 150: Such packets can be passed by adding "allow-opts" to the
! 151: rule.
! 152: So IPv6 options are handled like their counterpart in IPv4
! 153: now.
! 154: <li>If the IPv4 ID gets reused to fast, pf(4) fragment reassembly
! 155: uses a smarter strategy to drop packets.
1.1 deraadt 156: <li>...

158: <p>
159:
160: <li>Installer improvements:
161: <ul>
1.4 florian 162: <li> The installer now uses the Allotment Routing Table (ART).
1.7 rpe 163: <li> A unique kernel is now created by the installer to boot from after install/upgrade.
164: <li> On release installs of architectures supported by syspatch "syspatch -c" is added to rc.firsttime.
165: <li> Backwards compatibility code to support the 'rtsol' keyword in hostname.if(5) has been removed.
166: <li> The install.site and upgrade.site scripts are now executed at the end of the install/upgrade process.
167: <li> More detailed information is shown to identify disks.
168: <li> The IPv6 default router selection has been fixed.

1.31 ! bluhm 176: href="https://man.openbsd.org/slaacd.8">slaacd(8)</a> handles IPv6
1.4 florian 177: Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (RFC 4862).
1.31 ! bluhm 178: <li> <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rtadvd.8">rtadvd(8)</a> now supports
1.4 florian 179: "Reducing Energy Consumption of Router Advertisements" (RFC 7772).
1.31 ! bluhm 180: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ipsecctl.8">ipsecctl(8)</a>
! 181: can show SA bundles now.
! 182: The keyword "bundle" allows to create them explicitly.
! 183: This avoids confusion as they were used implicitly before.
! 184: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/nc.1">nc(1)</a>
! 185: has got the option -W "recvlimit" to terminate netcat after
! 186: receiving a number of packets.
! 187: This allows to send a UDP request, receive a reply and check
! 188: the result on the command line.
! 189: <li>Fix a bunch of races in
! 190: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/relayd.8">relayd(8)</a>
! 191: expecially in HTTP chunked mode.

200: to easily clear and free memory holding sensitive data has been added.
201: <li>Double free detection has been improved when the F
202: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/malloc.3">malloc(3)</a> option is used.

207: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mail.1">mail(1)</a>
1.19 deraadt 208: were rewritten to cope with the removal.
1.29 brynet 209: <li>Trapsleds, a new mitigation that significantly reduces the amount of
1.30 brynet 210: nops in the instruction stream, converting them to traps, making it
211: harder to target potential gadgets.
1.29 brynet 212: <li>Kernel Address Randomized Link (KARL), a new "link-kit" allows the .o
213: files of the kernel to be relinked in a random order, creating a unique
214: kernel for each boot.
215: <li>Like with libc previously,
216: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rc.8">rc(8)</a> re-links libcrypto on
217: startup, placing the objects in a random order.
218: <li>In addition to libcrypto, to deter code reuse exploits,
219: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rc.8">rc(8)</a> re-links
220: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ld.so.1">ld.so</a> on
221: startup, placing the objects in a random order.
1.31 ! bluhm 222: <li>If process accounting is activated with

! 224: the daily mail shows pledge violations and program crashes.
! 225: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/lastcomm.8">lastcomm(8)</a>

! 255: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/syslogd.8">syslogd(8)</a>
! 256: has been improved.

! 258: unaffected subsystems active.
! 259: So as many messages as possible are logged.
! 260: They can be filtered by severity and facility "syslog".
! 261: <li>syslogd(8) can now suppress "last message repeated" which is

637: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
638: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

641: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.

673: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
674: OpenBSD ports system.
675: <p>
676: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
677: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
678: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
679: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
680: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
681: with a command like:
682:
683: <blockquote><pre>
684: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>

687:
688: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
689: server.]
690: <p>
691: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
692: ports for the 6.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
693: <p>
694: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
695: would like to know more, the mailing list
696: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
