! 367: <li> Removed unused SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED and
! 368: SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER flags in write path, simplifying IO paths.
! 369: <li> Removed SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG buggy client workarounds.
! 370: <li> Made ENGINE_finish and ENGINE_free succeed on NULL and simplify callers
! 371: and matching OpenSSL behavior, rewrote ENGINE_* documentation.
! 372: <li> Added const annotations to many existing APIs from OpenSSL, making
! 373: interoperability easier for downstream applications.
! 374: <li> Fixed small timing side-channels in ecdsa_sign_setup and
! 375: dsa_sign_setup.
! 376: <li> Documented security pitfalls with BN_FLG_CONSTTIME and constant-time
! 377: operation of BN_* functions.
! 378: <li> Updated BN_clear to use explicit_bzero.
! 379: <li> Added a missing bounds check in c2i_ASN1_BIT_STRING.
! 380: <li> More CBS conversions, including simplifications to RSA key exchange,
! 381: and converted code to use dedicated buffers for secrets.
! 382: <li> Removed three remaining single DES cipher suites.
! 383: <li>Fixed a potential leak/incorrect return value in DSA signature
! 384: generation.
! 385: <li> Added a blinding value when generating DSA and ECDSA signatures, in
! 386: order to reduce the possibility of a side-channel attack leaking the
! 387: private key.
! 388: <li> Added ECC constant time scalar multiplication support.
! 389: From Billy Brumley and his team at Tampere University of Technology.
! 390: <li> Revised the implementation of RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 to match the
! 391: specification in RFC 8017. Based on an OpenSSL commit by David
! 392: Benjamin.
! 393: <li> Cleaned up BN_* implementations following changes made in OpenSSL by
! 394: Davide Galassi and others.
! 395: <li> Added Wycheproof test vectors for ECDH, RSASSA-PSS, AES-GCM,
! 396: AES-CMAC, AES-CCM, AES-CBC-PKCS5, DSA, ChaCha20-Poly1305, ECDSA,
! 397: X25519, and applied appropriate fixes for errors uncovered by tests.
! 398: <li> Simplified key exchange signature generation and verification.
! 399: <li> Fixed a one-byte buffer overrun in callers of EVP_read_pw_string
! 400: <li> Converted more code paths to use CBB/CBS. All handshake messages are
! 401: now created by CBB.
! 402: <li> Fixed various memory leaks found by Coverity.
! 403: <li> Simplfied session ticket parsing and handling, inspired by
! 404: BoringSSL.
! 405: <li> Modified signature of CRYPTO_mem_leaks_* to return -1. This function
! 406: is a no-op in LibreSSL, so this function returns an error to not
! 407: indicate the (non-)existence of memory leaks.
! 408: <li> SSL_copy_session_id, PEM_Sign, EVP_EncodeUpdate, BIO_set_cipher,
! 409: X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count now return an int for error handling,
! 410: matching OpenSSL.
! 411: <li> Converted a number of #defines into proper functions, matching
! 412: OpenSSL's ABI.
! 413: <li> Added X509_get0_serialNumber from OpenSSL.
! 414: <li> Removed EVP_PKEY2PKCS8_broken and PKCS8_set_broken, while adding
! 415: PKCS8_pkey_add1_attr_by_NID and PKCS8_pkey_get0_attrs, matching
! 416: OpenSSL.
! 417: <li> Removed broken pkcs8 formats from openssl(1).
! 418: <li> Converted more functions in public API to use const arguments.
! 419: <li> Stopped handing AES-GCM in ssl_cipher_get_evp, since they use the
! 420: EVP_AEAD interface.
! 421: <li>Stopped using composite EVP_CIPHER AEADs.
! 422: <li> Added timing-safe compares for checking results of signature
! 423: verification. There are no known attacks, this is just inexpensive
! 424: prudence.
! 425: <li> Correctly clear the current cipher state, when changing cipher state.
! 426: This fixed an issue where renegotion of cipher suites would fail
! 427: when switched from AEAD to non-AEAD or vice-versa.
! 428: Issue reported by Bernard Spil.
! 429: <li> Added more cipher tests to appstest.sh, including all TLSv1.2
! 430: ciphers.
! 431: <li> Added RSA_meth_get_finish() RSA_meth_set1_name() from OpenSSL.
! 432: <li> Added new EVP_CIPHER_CTX_(get|set)_iv() API that allows the IV to be
! 433: retrieved and set with appropriate validation.

793: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
794: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
795: To extract:
796:
797: <blockquote><pre>
798: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
799: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>

803: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
804: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
805: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
806: Using these files
807: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
808: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

815: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
816:

818: # <b>cd /usr</b>

822: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
823: if you know nothing about ports
824: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
825: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
826: OpenBSD ports system.
827: <p>
828: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
829: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
830: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
831: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
832: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
833: with a command like:
834:
835: <blockquote><pre>
836: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
837: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
838: </pre></blockquote>
839:
840: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
841: server.]
842: <p>
843: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
844: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
845: <p>
846: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
847: would like to know more, the mailing list
848: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
