<h3 id="new"><font color="#0000e0">What's New</font></h3>
This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 6.5.
For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus65.html">changelog</a> leading
to 6.5.
<ul>
<li>Improved hardware support, including:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/clang.1">clang(1)</a>
is now provided on mips64.
<li>The default linker has been switched from the binutils bfd-based linker
to lld on amd64 and i386.
<li>The radeonsi Mesa driver is now included for hardware acceleration
on Southern Islands and Sea Islands
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/radeondrm.4">radeondrm(4)</a> devices.
<li>octeon: Now the system automatically detects the number of available
cores. However, manual setting of the numcores, or coremask,
boot parameter is still needed to enable secondary cores.
<li>octeon: It is now possible to use the root disk's DUID as the value
of the rootdev boot parameter.
<li>New <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/octeon/octgpio.4">octgpio(4)</a>
driver for the OCTEON GPIO controller.
<li>New <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pvclock.4">pvclock(4)</a>
driver for KVM paravirtual clock.
<li>New <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ixl.4">ixl(4)</a>
driver for Intel Ethernet 700 series controller devices.
<li>New <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/abcrtc.4">abcrtc(4)</a>
driver for Abracon AB1805 real-time clock.
<li>New <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/imxsrc.4">imxsrc(4)</a>
driver for i.MX system reset controller.
<li>New <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/uxrcom.4">uxrcom(4)</a>
driver for Exar XR21V1410 USB serial adapters.

driver for Marvell ARMADA 7K/8K GICP controller.
<li>Support for QCA AR816x/AR817x in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/alc.4">alc(4)</a>.
<li>Support for isochronous transfers in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/xhci.4">xhci(4)</a>.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/uaudio.4">uaudio(4)</a> has
been replaced by a new driver which supports USB audio class v2.0.
<li>Improved support for <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/nmea.4">nmea(4)</a>
devices, providing altitude and ground speed values as sensors.
</ul>
<p>
<li>IEEE 802.11 wireless stack improvements:

<li>If an auto-join list is configured, wireless interfaces will no longer
connect to unknown open networks by default. This behaviour must
now be explicitly enabled by adding the empty network name to the
auto-join list, e.g. ifconfig iwm0 join ""
<li>The <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwn.4">iwn(4)</a> and
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> drivers will now
automatically try to connect to a network if the radio kill switch is

<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ripd.8">ripd(8)</a>
is now configurable.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ripd.8">ripd(8)</a> is now pledged.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ospfd.8">ospfd(8)</a>,
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ospf6d.8">ospf6d(8)</a> and
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ripd.8">ripd(8)</a> now use unveil(2)
to limit file system access of the parent process to read only.

Write <i>miniroot65.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot bsd.rd from it
or boot bsd.rd via tftp.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.loongson for more details.

Copy `boot' and `bsd.rd' to a Mach or UniOS partition, and boot the bootloader
from the PROM, and then bsd.rd from the bootloader.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.luna88k for more details.

<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>

Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, and power on your machine
while holding down the <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and
shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
<p>

Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot

After connecting a serial port, boot bsd.rd over the network via DHCP/tftp.

<ul style="list-style-type: none">
<li>
To install, burn cd65.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your
machine and select <i>Install System Software</i> from the System Maintenance
menu. Indigo/Indy/Indigo2 (R4000) systems will not boot automatically from
CD-ROM, and need a proper invocation from the PROM prompt.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
<p>
<li>
If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network
server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using the kernel matching your
system type. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
</ul>
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>
<ul style="list-style-type: none">
<li>
Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, boot from it, and type
<i>boot cdrom</i>.
<p>
<li>
If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
<i>floppy65.fs</i> or <i>floppyB65.fs</i>
(depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
<p>
<li>
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
will most likely fail.
<p>
<li>
You can also write <i>miniroot65.fs</i> to the swap partition on
the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
<p>
<li>
If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.

<h3 id="upgrade"><font color="#0000e0">How to upgrade</font></h3>
If you already have an OpenBSD 6.4 system, and do not want to reinstall,
upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
<a href="faq/upgrade65.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_5</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 6.5 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.
