1.1 benno 360: <ul>
1.50 benno 361: <li>In most places
362: in <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>
363: and <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a> where
364: port numbers are used, service names (from /etc/services) can
365: now be used.
366: <li>The <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>
367: IdentityAgent configuration directive now accepts environment
368: variable names. This supports the use of multiple agent
369: sockets without needing to use fixed paths.
1.49 benno 370: <li>Support signalling sessions via the SSH protocol in
371: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>.
1.50 benno 372: <li>"ssh -Q sig" can be used to list supported signature
373: options. Also "ssh -Q help" will show the full set of
374: supported queries.
375: <li>The new CASignatureAlgorithms option
376: in <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>
377: and <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>
378: controlls the allowed signature formats for CAs to sign
379: certificates with. For example, this allows banning CAs that
380: sign certificates using the RSA-SHA1 signature algorithm.
381: <li>Key revocation lists (KRLs) can now contain keys specified
382: by SHA256 hash. These lists are managed
383: by <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.8">ssh-keygen(8)</a>. In
1.49 benno 384: addition, KRLs can now be created from base64-encoded SHA256
1.50 benno 385: fingerprints, i.e. from only the information contained

393: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
394: avoid spurious "invalid format" errors when attempting to load
395: PEM private keys while using an incorrect passphrase.
396: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>: when a
397: channel closed message is received from a client, close the
398: stderr file descriptor at the same time stdout is closed. This
399: avoids stuck processes if they were waiting for stderr to
400: close and were insensitive to stdin/out closing.
1.52 benno 401: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>: allow
402: ForwardX11Timeout=0 to disable the untrusted X11 forwarding
403: timeout and support X11 forwarding indefinitely. Previously
404: the behaviour of ForwardX11Timeout=0 was undefined.
405: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>: do not
406: fail closed when configured with a text key revocation list
407: that contains a too-short key.
408: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:treat
409: connections with ProxyJump specified the same as ones with a
410: ProxyCommand set with regards to hostname canonicalisation
411: (i.e. don't try to canonicalise the hostname unless
412: CanonicalizeHostname is set to 'always').
413: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>: fix

770: If you already have an OpenBSD 6.3 system, and do not want to reinstall,
771: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
772: <a href="faq/upgrade64.html">Upgrade Guide</a>.

778:
779: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
780: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
781: which are in a separate archive.
782: To extract:
783:
784: <blockquote><pre>
785: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
786: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
787: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
788: </pre></blockquote>
789:
790: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
791: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
792: To extract:
793:
794: <blockquote><pre>
795: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
796: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
797: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
798: </pre></blockquote>
799:
800: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
801: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
802: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
803: Using these files
804: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
805: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

810: <h3 id="ports"><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
811:
812: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
813:
814: <blockquote><pre>
815: # <b>cd /usr</b>
816: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
817: </pre></blockquote>
818:
819: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
820: if you know nothing about ports
821: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
822: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
823: OpenBSD ports system.
824: <p>
825: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
826: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
827: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
828: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
829: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
830: with a command like:
831:
832: <blockquote><pre>
833: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
834: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
835: </pre></blockquote>
836:
837: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
838: server.]
839: <p>
840: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
841: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
842: <p>
843: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
844: would like to know more, the mailing list
845: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
