280: </ul>
281: <p>
282:
1.22 jsg 283: <li>LibreSSL 2.7.2
1.29 beck 284: <ul>
285: <li> Fixed a bug in int_x509_param_set_hosts, calling strlen() if name
286: length provided is 0 to match the OpenSSL behaviour. Issue noticed
287: by Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>
288: <li> Added support for many OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1 APIs, based on
289: observations of real-world usage in applications. These are
290: implemented in parallel with existing OpenSSL 1.0.1 APIs - visibility
291: changes have not been made to existing structs, allowing code written
292: for older OpenSSL APIs to continue working.
293: <li> Extensive corrections, improvements, and additions to the
294: API documentation, including new public APIs from OpenSSL that had
295: no pre-existing documentation.
296: <li> Added support for automatic library initialization in libcrypto,
297: libssl, and libtls. Support for pthread_once or a compatible
298: equivalent is now required of the target operating system. As a
299: side-effect, minimum Windows support is Vista or higher.
300: <li> Converted more packet handling methods to CBB, which improves
301: resiliency when generating TLS messages.
302: <li> Completed TLS extension handling rewrite, improving consistency of
303: checks for malformed and duplicate extensions.
304: <li>Rewrote ASN1_TYPE_{get,set}_octetstring() using templated ASN.1.
305: This removes the last remaining use of the old M_ASN1_* macros
306: (asn1_mac.h) from API that needs to continue to exist.
307: <li> Added support for client-side session resumption in libtls.
308: A libtls client can specify a session file descriptor (a regular
309: file with appropriate ownership and permissions) and libtls will
310: manage reading and writing of session data across TLS handshakes.
311: <li> Improved support for strict alignment on ARMv7 architectures,
312: conditionally enabling assembly in those cases.
313: <li> Fixed a memory leak in libtls when reusing a tls_config.
314: <li> Merged more DTLS support into the regular TLS code path, removing
315: duplicated code.

687: OpenBSD ports system.
688: <p>
689: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
690: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
691: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
692: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
693: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
694: with a command like:
695:
696: <blockquote><pre>
697: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
698: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>

700:
701: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
702: server.]
703: <p>
704: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
705: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
706: <p>
707: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
708: would like to know more, the mailing list
709: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
