71: <h3>What's New</h3>
72: <p>
73: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 6.7.
74: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus67.html">changelog</a> leading
75: to 6.7.
76:
77: <ul>
78:
79: <li>General improvements and bugfixes:
80: <ul>
81: <li>Reduced the minimum allowed number of chunks in a CONCAT
82: volume from 2 to 1, increasing the number of volumes which can be
83: created on a single disk with <a
84: href="https://man.openbsd.org/bioctl">bioctl(8)</a> from 7 to 15. This
85: can be used to create more partitions than previously.
86: <li>Rewrote the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cron">cron(8)</a>
87: flag-parsing code to be getopt-like, allowing tight formations like
88: -ns and flag repetition. Renamed the "options" field in <a
89: href="https://man.openbsd.org/crontab">crontab(5)</a> to "flags".
90: <li>Added <a
91: href="https://man.openbsd.org/man5/crontab.5">crontab(5)</a> -s flag
92: to the command field, indicating that only a single instance of the
93: job should run concurrently.
94: <li>Added <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cron">cron(8)</a>
1.64 benno 95: support for random time values using the ~ operator.
1.1 benno 96: <li>Allowed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cwm">cwm(1)</a>

110: support for automatic suspend/hibernate (-z/-Z). The daemon now
111: reacts to power changes messages sent by the battery driver.
112: Those messages are ignored for 60 seconds after a resume, so
113: that the user can take control before the machine goes back to
114: sleep.
1.1 benno 115: <li>Prevented a kernel hang when no unlocked ffs_softdep worklist
116: items could be processed.
117: <li>Stopped counting pages mapped as PROT_NONE against the
118: RLIMIT_DATA limit, helping code which reserves large chunks of address
119: space but populates it sparsely.
120: <li>Added the $REQUEST_SCHEME variable to <a
121: href="https://man.openbsd.org/httpd.conf">httpd.conf(5)</a>, allowing
122: preservation of the original connection type (http or https) for
123: redirect locations
124: <li>Implemented "strip" option in <a
125: href="https://man.openbsd.org/httpd.conf">httpd.conf(5)</a> for

127: servers.
128: <li>Changed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/httpd">httpd(8)</a>
129: to send a 408 response when a timeout happens while headers are being
130: received, but close the connection if no request is received.
131: <li>Updated en_US.UTF-8.src to Unicode 12.1.
1.19 deraadt 132: <li>Added a new __tmpfd system call which creates a new, unnamed file in

134: lack filesystem access (due to restrictions imposed by
135: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/unveil.2">unveil(2)</a> or
136: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2">pledge(2)</a>).

538: of the Rx block ack sequence number window and queue.
539: <li>Fixed a bug where outstanding frames on the <a
540: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwn">iwn(4)</a> aggregation queue
541: interfered with roaming to another AP.
542: <li>Fixed a race condition in <a

544: <li>Implemented a workaround for missing Tx completion interrupts
545: in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm">iwm(4)</a> which could lead
546: to failures when roaming to another AP.
547: <li>Re-enabled firmware-based Tx retries at lower rates for <a
548: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm">iwm(4)</a>, reducing packet loss.

1288: avoid confusing and non-deterministic ordering of prompts.
1289: <li>ssh(1): fix incorrect error message for "too many known hosts
1290: files."

1295: <li>sshd(8): document order of checking AuthorizedKeysFile (first) and
1296: AuthorizedKeysCommand (subsequently, if the file doesn't match)
1297: <li>sshd(8): document that /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/shosts.equiv are
1298: not considered for HostbasedAuthentication when the target user is
1299: root

1310: messages
1311: <li>ssh-keygen(1), ssh-add(1): when downloading FIDO2 resident keys
1312: from a token, don't prompt for a PIN until the token has told us
1313: that it needs one. Avoids double-prompting on devices that
1314: implement on-device authentication.
1315: <li>sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): no-touch-required FIDO certificate option
1316: should be an extension, not a critical option.

1605: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
1606: <p>
1607: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
1608: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
1609: which are in a separate archive.
1610: To extract:
1611: <blockquote><pre>
1612: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
1613: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1614: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
1615: </pre></blockquote>
1616: <p>
1617: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1618: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
1619: To extract:
1620: <blockquote><pre>
1621: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
1622: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1623: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
1624: </pre></blockquote>
1625: <p>
1626: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1627: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1628: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1629: Using these files
1630: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1631: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1640: <blockquote><pre>
1641: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
1642: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
1643: </pre></blockquote>
1644: <p>
1645: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1646: if you know nothing about ports
1647: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1648: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1649: OpenBSD ports system.
1650: <p>
1651: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1652: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1653: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1654: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1655: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1656: with a command like:
1657: <blockquote><pre>
1658: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1659: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_7</kbd>
1660: </pre></blockquote>
1661: <p>
1662: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1663: server.]
1664: <p>
1665: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1666: ports for the 6.7 release will be made available if problems arise.
1667: <p>
1668: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1669: would like to know more, the mailing list
1670: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
