508: <ul>
1.3 benno 509: <li>Prevented kernel reuse of mbuf memory when generating the ICMP6
510: response to an IPv6 packet.
511: <li>Added the ability to force the selection of source IP address for
512: programs that do not specify a source IP, configurable via <a
513: href="https://man.openbsd.org/route.8">route(8)</a>.
514: <li>For IPv6 addresses, added tracking of address proposal creation
515: times to be able to establish total lifetime. This information is used

521: multiple rings.
522: <li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wg.4">wg(4)</a> ioctl to
523: handle multiple wgpeers.
524: <li>Removed the direct ACK on every other data segment. After
525: receiving a data segment, we were sending out two ACKs, the first one
526: in tcp_input() direct after receiving and the second ACK after the
527: userland or the sosplice task read some data out of the socket buffer.
528: This change removes the ACK in tcp_input(), saving processing time and
529: improving network performance.
530: <li>Removed the maxburst feature from tcp_output().
531: <li>Added a MONITOR feature to interfaces. Packets received on these

598: <li>Properly implemented "rde med compare strict" in <a

601: <li>Added RTR support to <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.8">OpenBGPD</a>.

652: <li>Used a counter instead of random IV for AES-GCM in <a

715: <li>Changed pf_route so <a
716: href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a> only runs when packets
717: enter and leave the stack. Running the same packet through pf multiple
718: times creates confusion for the state table. By default, pf states are

1157: <p>
1158: To install, burn cd69.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your
1159: machine and select <i>Install System Software</i> from the System Maintenance
1160: menu. Indigo/Indy/Indigo2 (R4000) systems will not boot automatically from
1161: CD-ROM, and need a proper invocation from the PROM prompt.
1162: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
1163:
1164: <p>
1165: If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network
1166: server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using the kernel matching your
1167: system type. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
1168:
1169: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc64:</h3>
1170:
1171: <p>
1172: Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, boot from it, and type
1173: <i>boot cdrom</i>.
1174:
1175: <p>
1176: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
1177: <i>floppy69.img</i> or <i>floppyB69.img</i>
1178: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
1179: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
1180:
1181: <p>
1182: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
1183: will most likely fail.
1184:
1185: <p>
1186: You can also write <i>miniroot69.img</i> to the swap partition on
1187: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
1188:
1189: <p>
1190: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.

1198: If you already have an OpenBSD 6.7 system, and do not want to reinstall,

1206: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
1207: <p>
1208: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
1209: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
1210: which are in a separate archive.
1211: To extract:
1212: <blockquote><pre>
1213: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
1214: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1215: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
1216: </pre></blockquote>
1217: <p>
1218: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1219: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
1220: To extract:
1221: <blockquote><pre>
1222: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
1223: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1224: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
1225: </pre></blockquote>
1226: <p>
1227: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1228: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1229: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1230: Using these files
1231: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1232: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1238: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
1239: <p>
1240: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
1241: <blockquote><pre>
1242: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
1243: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
1244: </pre></blockquote>
1245: <p>
1246: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1247: if you know nothing about ports
1248: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1249: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1250: OpenBSD ports system.
1251: <p>
1252: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1253: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1254: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1255: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1256: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1257: with a command like:
1258: <blockquote><pre>
1259: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1260: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_9</kbd>
1261: </pre></blockquote>
1262: <p>
1263: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1264: server.]
1265: <p>
1266: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1267: ports for the 6.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
1268: <p>
1269: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1270: would like to know more, the mailing list
1271: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
