441: length provided is 0 to match the OpenSSL behaviour. Issue noticed
1.45 jsg 442: by Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>.
1.29 beck 443: <li> Added support for many OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1 APIs, based on
444: observations of real-world usage in applications. These are
445: implemented in parallel with existing OpenSSL 1.0.1 APIs - visibility
446: changes have not been made to existing structs, allowing code written
447: for older OpenSSL APIs to continue working.
448: <li> Extensive corrections, improvements, and additions to the
449: API documentation, including new public APIs from OpenSSL that had
450: no pre-existing documentation.
451: <li> Added support for automatic library initialization in libcrypto,
452: libssl, and libtls. Support for pthread_once or a compatible
453: equivalent is now required of the target operating system. As a
454: side-effect, minimum Windows support is Vista or higher.
455: <li> Converted more packet handling methods to CBB, which improves
456: resiliency when generating TLS messages.
457: <li> Completed TLS extension handling rewrite, improving consistency of
458: checks for malformed and duplicate extensions.
459: <li>Rewrote ASN1_TYPE_{get,set}_octetstring() using templated ASN.1.
460: This removes the last remaining use of the old M_ASN1_* macros
461: (asn1_mac.h) from API that needs to continue to exist.
462: <li> Added support for client-side session resumption in libtls.
463: A libtls client can specify a session file descriptor (a regular
464: file with appropriate ownership and permissions) and libtls will
465: manage reading and writing of session data across TLS handshakes.
466: <li> Improved support for strict alignment on ARMv7 architectures,
467: conditionally enabling assembly in those cases.
468: <li> Fixed a memory leak in libtls when reusing a tls_config.
469: <li> Merged more DTLS support into the regular TLS code path, removing
470: duplicated code.

1.5 matthieu 790: If you already have an OpenBSD 6.2 system, and do not want to reinstall,
1.1 deraadt 791: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
792: <a href="faq/upgrade63.html">Upgrade Guide</a>.

797: <h3 id="sourcecode"><font color="#0000e0">Notes about the source code</font></h3>
798:
799: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
800: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
801: which are in a separate archive.
802: To extract:
803:
804: <blockquote><pre>
805: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
806: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
807: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
808: </pre></blockquote>
809:
810: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
811: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
812: To extract:
813:
814: <blockquote><pre>
815: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
816: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
817: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
818: </pre></blockquote>
819:
820: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
821: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
822: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
823: Using these files
824: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
825: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

831:
832: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
833:
834: <blockquote><pre>
835: # <b>cd /usr</b>
836: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
837: </pre></blockquote>
838:
839: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
840: if you know nothing about ports
841: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
842: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
843: OpenBSD ports system.
844: <p>
845: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
846: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
847: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
848: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
849: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
850: with a command like:
851:
852: <blockquote><pre>
853: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
854: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
855: </pre></blockquote>
856:
857: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
858: server.]
859: <p>
860: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
861: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
862: <p>
863: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
864: would like to know more, the mailing list
865: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
