118:
119: <li>IEEE 802.11 wireless stack improvements:
120: <ul>
1.8 stsp 121: <li>MiRA 802.11n TX rate scaling now supports devices with unequal numbers of Tx and Rx streams. Fixes 11n mode for some <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/athn.8">athn(8)</a> devices.
122: <li>The <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwn.8">iwn(8)</a> and <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.8">iwm(8)</a> drivers will now start scanning for a new access point if they no longer receive beacons from their current AP.
123: <li>Prefer the 5GHz band over the 2GHz band during access point selection.

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>...
157: </ul>
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.

170: </ul>
171: <p>
172:
173: <li>Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:
174: <ul>
1.4 florian 175: <li> A new daemon, <a
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.
1.1 deraadt 192: <li>...
193: </ul>
194: <p>
195:
196: <li>Security improvements:
197: <ul>
1.9 otto 198: <li>A new function
199: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/freezero.3">freezero(3)</a>
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.
203: The existing S option now includes F.
1.24 anton 204: <li>The <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tty.4#TIOCSTI">TIOCSTI</a>
1.19 deraadt 205: tty ioctl has been removed. The I/O-loops in the last two consumers
1.24 anton 206: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/csh.1">csh(1)</a> and
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
223: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/accton.8">accton(8)</a>,
224: the daily mail shows pledge violations and program crashes.
225: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/lastcomm.8">lastcomm(8)</a>
226: uses the flags P and T for such processes.

732: <p>
733: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
734: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
735: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
736: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
737: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
738: with a command like:
739:
740: <blockquote><pre>

744:
745: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
746: server.]
747: <p>
748: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
749: ports for the 6.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
750: <p>
751: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
752: would like to know more, the mailing list
753: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
