</ul>
<p>
<li>IEEE 802.11 wireless stack improvements:
<ul>
<li>The <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> and
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwn.4">iwn(4)</a> drivers will
automatically roam between access points which share an ESSID.
Forcing a particular AP's MAC address with ifconfig's <b>bssid</b>
command disables roaming.
<li>Automatically clear configured WEP/WPA keys when a new network ESSID
is configured.
<li>Removed the ability for userland to read configured WEP/WPA keys back
from the kernel.

</ul>
<p>
<li>Generic network stack improvements:
<ul>
<li>The network stack no longer runs with the KERNEL_LOCK() when IPsec is
enabled.
<li>Processing of incoming TCP/UDP packets is now done without
KERNEL_LOCK().
<li>The socket splicing task runs without KERNEL_LOCK().
<li>Cleanup and removal of code in sys/netinet6 since autoconfiguration
runs in userland now.

now be prevented to talk to each others with the new <b>protected</b>
option.
<li>The pf divert-packet feature has been simplified.
The IP_DIVERTFL socket option has been removed from <a
href="https://man.openbsd.org/divert.4">divert(4)</a>.
<li>Various corner cases of pf divert-to and divert-reply are
more consistent now.
<li>Enforce in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
that all neighbor discovery packets have 255 in their IPv6
header hop limit field.
</ul>
<p>
<li>Installer improvements:
<ul>
<li>...
</ul>
<p>
<li>Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpctl.8">bgpctl(8)</a> has a new
<b>ssv</b> option which outputs rib entries as a single semicolon-separated
like for selection before output.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/slaacd.8">slaacd(8)</a> generates
random but stable IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration addresses according
to RFC 7217.
These are enabled per default in accordance with RFC 8064.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/slaacd.8">slaacd(8)</a> can generate
RFC 7217 (random but stable) and RFC 4941 (privacy) style stateless
autoconfiguration addresses on non-/64 prefixes.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ospfd.8">ospfd(8)</a> can now set the
metric for a route depending on the status of an interface.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ifconfig.8">ifconfig(8)</a> has a new
<b>staticarp</b> option to make interfaces reply to ARP requests only.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ipsecctl.8">ipsecctl(8)</a> can now
collapse flow outputs having the same source or destination.
<li>The <tt>-n</tt> option in the
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/netstart.8">netstart(8)</a> no longer
messes with the default route.
It is now documented as well.
</ul>
<p>
<li>Security improvements:
<ul>
<li>Use even more trap-sleds on various architectures.
<li>More use of .rodata for constant variables in assembly source.

<li>Introduce "execpromises" in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2">pledge(2)</a>.
<li>Prepare for the introduction of <b>MAP_STACK</b> to
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mmap.2">mmap(2)</a> after 6.3.
<li>Push a small piece of KARL-linked kernel text into the random
number generator as entropy at startup.
<li>Put a small random gap at the top of thread stacks, so that attackers
have yet another calculation to perform for their ROP work.
<li>Mitigation for Meltdown vulnerability for Intel brand amd64 CPUs.
<li>OpenBSD/arm64 now uses kernel page table isolation to mitigate
Spectre variant 3 (Meltdown) attacks.
<li>OpenBSD/armv7 and OpenBSD/arm64 now flush the Branch Target
Cache (BTB) on processors that do speculative execution to
mitigate Spectre variant 2 attacks.
</ul>
<p>
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.8">dhclient(8)</a> improvements:
<ul>
<li>Parsing <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a> no longer leaks SSID strings, strings that are
too long for the parsing buffer or repeated string options and commands.
<li>Storing leases in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a> is no longer supported.
<li>'DENY' is no longer valid in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a>.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a> and
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.leases.5">
dhclient.leases(5)</a>
parsing error messages have been simplified and clarified, with
improved behaviour in the presence of unexpected semicolons.
<li>More care is taken to only use configuration information that was
successfully parsed.
<li>'-n' has been added, which causes
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.8">
dhclient(8)</a> to exit after parsing
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a>.
<li>Default routes in options classless-static-routes (121) and
classless-ms-static-routes (249) are now correctly represented in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.leases.5">
dhclient.leases(5)</a> files.
<li>Overwrite the file specified with '-L' rather than appending to it.
<li>Leases in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.leases.5">
dhclient.leases(5)</a> now contain an 'epoch' attribute recording
the time the lease was accepted, which is used to calculate correct
renewal, rebinding and expiry times.
<li>No longer nag about underscores in names violating RFC 952.
<li>Unconditionally send host-name information when
requesting a lease, eliminating the need for
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a> in the default installation.
<li>Be quiet by default. '-q' has been removed and '-v' added to
enable verbose logging.
<li>Decline duplicate offers for the requested address.
<li>Unconditionally go into the background after link-timeout seconds.
<li>Significantly reduce logging when being quiet, but make '-v' log
all debug information without needing to compile a custom executable.
<li>Ignore 'interface' statements in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.leases.5">
dhclient.leases(5)</a> and assume all leases in the file are
for the interface being configured.
<li>Display the source of the lease bound to the interface.
<li>'ignore', 'request' and 'require' declarations in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a> now add the specified options to the relevant
list rather than replacing the list.
<li>Eliminate a startup race that could result in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.8">
dhclient(8)</a> exiting without configuring the interface.
</ul>
<p>
<li>Assorted improvements:
<ul>
<li>Code reorganization and other improvements to
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/malloc.3">malloc(3)</a>
and friends to make them more efficient.
<li>When performing suspend or hibernate operations, ensure all filesystems
are properly synchronized and marked clean, or if they cannot be
put into perfectly clean state on disk (due to open+unlinked files)
then mark them dirty, so that a failed resume/unhibernate is guaranteed
to perform <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fsck.8">fsck(8)</a>.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/acme-client.1">acme-client(1)</a>
autodetects the agreement URL and follows 30x HTTP redirects.
<li>Added __cxa_thread_atexit() to support modern C++ tool chains.
<li>Added EVFILT_DEVICE support to
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/kqueue.2">kqueue(2)</a> for
monitoring changes to
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/drm.4">drm(4)</a> devices.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ldexp.3">ldexp(3)</a> now handles
the sign of denormal numbers correctly on mips64.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> now ensures the
validity of MBR partition offsets entered while editing.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> now ensures that
default values lie within the valid range.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/less.1">less(1)</a> now splits only
the environment variable LESS on '$'.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/less.1">less(1)</a> no longer creates
a spurious file when encountering '$' in the initial command.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/softraid.4">softraid(4)</a> now validates
the number of chunks when assembling a volume, ensuring the on-disk
and in-memory metadata are in sync.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel(8)</a> now
always offers to edit an FFS partition's fragment size before offering to
edit the blocksize.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel(8)</a> now
allows editing the cylinders/group (cpg) attribute whenever the partition
blocksize can be edited.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel(8)</a> now
detects ^D and invalid input during (R)esize commands.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel(8)</a> now
detects underflows and overflows when -/+ operators are used.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel(8)</a> now
avoids an off-by-one when calculating the number of cylinders in a free
chunk.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel(8)</a> now
validates the requested partition size against the size of the largest free
chunk instead of the total free space.
<li>Support for dumping USB transfers via
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bpf.4">bpf(4)</a>.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tcpdump.8">tcpdump(8)</a> can now
understand dumps of USB transfers in the
<a href="http://desowin.org/usbpcap/captureformat.html">USBPcap</a>
format.
<li>The default prompts of <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/csh.1">csh(1)</a>,
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ksh.1">ksh(1)</a> and
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sh.1">sh(1)</a> now include the hostname.
<li>Memory allocation in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ksh.1">ksh(1)</a> was switched from
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/calloc.3">calloc(3)</a> back to
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/malloc.3">malloc(3)</a>,
making it easier to recognize uninitialized memory.
As a result, a history-related bug in emacs editing mode was discovered
and fixed.
<li>The <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/printf.3">printf(3)</a> format
string is no longer validated when looking for <tt>%</tt> formats.

<li>New/changed features:
<ul>
<li>...
</ul>
<li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
<ul>
<li>...
</ul>
</ul>
<p>
<li>LibreSSL 2.7.2
<ul>
<li> Fixed a bug in int_x509_param_set_hosts, calling strlen() if name
length provided is 0 to match the OpenSSL behaviour. Issue noticed
by Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>.
<li> Added support for many OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1 APIs, based on
observations of real-world usage in applications. These are
implemented in parallel with existing OpenSSL 1.0.1 APIs - visibility
changes have not been made to existing structs, allowing code written
for older OpenSSL APIs to continue working.
<li> Extensive corrections, improvements, and additions to the
API documentation, including new public APIs from OpenSSL that had
no pre-existing documentation.
<li> Added support for automatic library initialization in libcrypto,
libssl, and libtls. Support for pthread_once or a compatible
equivalent is now required of the target operating system. As a
side-effect, minimum Windows support is Vista or higher.
<li> Converted more packet handling methods to CBB, which improves
resiliency when generating TLS messages.
<li> Completed TLS extension handling rewrite, improving consistency of
checks for malformed and duplicate extensions.
<li>Rewrote ASN1_TYPE_{get,set}_octetstring() using templated ASN.1.
This removes the last remaining use of the old M_ASN1_* macros
(asn1_mac.h) from API that needs to continue to exist.
<li> Added support for client-side session resumption in libtls.
A libtls client can specify a session file descriptor (a regular
file with appropriate ownership and permissions) and libtls will
manage reading and writing of session data across TLS handshakes.
<li> Improved support for strict alignment on ARMv7 architectures,
conditionally enabling assembly in those cases.
<li> Fixed a memory leak in libtls when reusing a tls_config.
<li> Merged more DTLS support into the regular TLS code path, removing
duplicated code.

<h3 id="upgrade"><font color="#0000e0">How to upgrade</font></h3>
If you already have an OpenBSD 6.2 system, and do not want to reinstall,
upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
<a href="faq/upgrade63.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 -stable 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_3</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 6.3 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.
