1.15 benno 578: <li>Implemented RA (new 11nm Tx rate adaptation) in <a
579: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> and <a
580: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwn.4">iwn(4)</a>.
581: <li>Prevented a WPA failure in <a
582: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ipw.4">ipw(4)</a> due to a state
583: mismatch between firmware and net80211 during the association
584: sequence.
585: <li>Ensured WEP and plaintext interface link state update by <a
586: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ipw.4">ipw(4)</a>.
587: <li>Made <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwx.4">iwx(4)</a> attach to
588: AX201 devices with PCI ID 0x34f0. Needs <a
589: href="https://man.openbsd.org/fw_update.1">fw_update(1)</a>.
590: <li>Fixed a problem where <a

1.1 deraadt 593: </ul>
594:
595: <li>IEEE 802.11 wireless stack improvements and bugfixes:
596: <ul>
1.5 benno 597: <li>Fixed the calculation of "maxlen" in <a
598: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> and <a
599: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwx.4">iwx(4)</a> when there are
600: multiple MPDUs in one packet.
601: <li>Fixed 802.11 RSN capabilities announced to peers.
602: <li>Flushed the reorder buffer after gap timeout to prevent frames
603: from remaining in the buffer until the next frame is received.
604: <li>Avoided spurious "input packet decapsulations failed" errors in
605: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/netstat.1">netstat(1)</a> -W with
606: A-MSDU enabled.
1.15 benno 607: <li>Introduced RA, a new 11nm Tx rate adaptation module for net80211.
608: Unlike MiRa, RA does not attempt to precisely measure actual
609: throughput but simply deducts a loss percentage from the theoretical
610: throughput which can be achieved by a given MCS.
1.1 deraadt 611: </ul>
612:
613: <li>Generic network stack improvements and bugfixes:
614: <ul>
1.10 benno 615: <li>Removed the direct ACK on every other data segment. After
616: receiving a data segment, we were sending out two ACKs, the first one
617: in tcp_input() direct after receiving and the second ACK after the
618: userland or the sosplice task read some data out of the socket buffer.
619: This change removes the ACK in tcp_input(), saving processing time and
620: improving network performance.
621: <li>Removed the maxburst feature from tcp_output().
622: <li>Added a MONITOR feature to interfaces. Packets received on these
623: interfaces do not enter the network stack for further processing. This
624: can be used to watch traffic, for example with <a
625: href="https://man.openbsd.org/bpf.4">bpf(4)</a> without risk of the packets
626: interfering with the system.
627:
628: <li>Added etherbridge, the internals of a reusable learning bridge
629: interface providing common code reusable for other drivers needing a
630: mac learning bridge.
631: <li>Introduced <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/veb.4">veb(4)</a>, a
632: Virtual Ethernet Bridge driver.
1.3 benno 633:
1.15 benno 634: <li>Added the ability to force the selection of source IP address for
635: programs that do not specify a source IP, overriding the default
636: source IP selection algorithm. This is configurable via <a
637: href="https://man.openbsd.org/route.8">route(8)</a>
638: <tt>sourceaddr</tt> command.
639:
640: <li>Bring interfaces up when autoconfiguration for inetor inet6 is
641: enabled (AUTOCONF4 or AUTOCONF6 flags).
642: <li>Adjust terminology in <a
643: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ifconfig.8">ifconfig(8)</a> to refer to
644: "temporary address extensions" rather than the former "privacy
645: extensions," including the addition of an AUTOCONF6TEMP flag (to
646: replace the negative flag "INET6_NOPRIVACY"). The autoconfprivacy
647: option if <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ifconfig.8">ifconfig(8)</a>
648: has been deprecated.
649: <li>Made it possible to disable the "autoconf" flag but keep
650: "temporary" enabled in <a
651: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ifconfig.8">ifconfig(8)</a>.
652: <li>For IPv6 addresses, added tracking of address proposal creation
653: times to be able to establish total lifetime. This information is used
654: to renew pltime/vltime of privacy addresse per RFC 4941.
1.3 benno 655:
1.15 benno 656: <li>Prevented kernel reuse of mbuf memory when generating the ICMP6
657: response to an IPv6 packet.
658: <li>Use the toeplitz hash algorithm to a flowid for tcp packets,
659: which in turn is used to choose the tx ring on network cards with
660: multiple rings.
661: <li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wg.4">wg(4)</a> on macppc
662: by keeping track of allowed ips pointer correctly.
663: <li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wg.4">wg(4)</a> ioctl to
664: handle multiple wgpeers.
665: <li>Fixed a race between tx/rx handshakes in <a
666: href="https://man.openbsd.org/wg.4">wg(4)</a>.
667: <li>Prevented a potential hang when trying to remove a <a
668: href="https://man.openbsd.org/tun.4">tun(4)</a> interface.
669: <li>Used the correct rdomain when adding and deleting routes with <a
670: href="https://man.openbsd.org/mpip.4">mpip(4)</a> and <a
671: href="https://man.openbsd.org/mpw.4">mpw(4)</a>.
672: <li>Made <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ifconfig.8">ifconfig(8)</a>
673: "-mplslabel" work with <a
674: href="https://man.openbsd.org/mpw.4">mpw(4)</a>.

1.5 benno 679: <li>Prevented a race in <a
680: href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.8">dhclient(8)</a> privsep
681: which could cause autoinstall to fail by calling <a
682: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ftp.1">ftp(1)</a> without a local
683: address.
684: <li>Fixed hangs on amd64 bsd.rd due to misreported core clock
685: frequency on newer Intel Comet Lake models.
1.15 benno 686: <li>Began distributing the gzip'd version of bsd.rd on all platforms
687: with boot methods supporting it.
688: <li>Fixed a problem which prevented use of <a
689: href="https://man.openbsd.org/sysupgrade.8">sysupgrade(8)</a> when an
690: interface failed to come up and <a
691: href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.8">dhclient(8)</a> didn't
692: notice link-timeout expiration.
693: <li>Prevented <a
694: href="https://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel(8)</a> from
695: adjusting the swap 'b' partition size if physmem is zero to keep the
696: auto-allocate code from putting a filesystem on that partition.
697: <li>Emulate "[inet] autoconf" <a
698: href="https://man.openbsd.org/hostname.if.5">hostname.if(5)</a> lines
699: with "dhcp" so users testing <a
700: href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhcpleased.8">dhcpleased(8)</a> will
701: still be able to upgrade manually while the installer uses only <a

723: only removed from the table when withdrawn from all sessions that
724: announced them.
725: <li>Introduced a send hold timer in <a
726: href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.8">bgpd(8)</a> to detect stalls on
727: the sending side of a TCP connection, acting as a last resort to
728: detect faulty peers.
729: <li>Added <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpctl.8">bgpctl(8)</a>
730: "show sets" to display information about the roa-set, as-sets and
731: prefix-sets loaded into <a
732: href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.8">bgpd(8)</a>.
1.10 benno 733: <li>Introduced the <a
734: href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.conf.5">bgpd.conf(5)</a> per
735: neighbor and global config option "reject as-set yes/no" to allow
736: rejection of received UPDATES with AS_SET segments. These rejected
737: prefixes can be viewed with <a
738: href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpctl.8">bgpctl(8)</a> "show rib in
739: error".
740: <li>Properly implemented "rde med compare strict" in <a
741: href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.8">bgpd(8)</a> and ensured that the
742: order of prefixes is always correct.
743: <li>Added RTR support to <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.8">OpenBGPD</a>.
744: <li>Added <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpctl.8">bgpctl(8)</a>
745: "show rtr" to display basic information about RTR sessions.
746: <li>Introduced <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bgpd.8">bgpd(8)</a>
747: <code>rde evaluate all</code> to work around path hiding in IXP
748: route-server environments.
1.15 benno 749: </ul>
1.10 benno 750:
1.15 benno 751: <li>The <a
752: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ospfd.8">ospfd(8)</a> and <a
753: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ospf6d.8">ospf6d(8)</a> routing
754: daemons saw various internal refactoring to keep the code similar to
755: changes in other routing daemons and improve maintainability.<br>
756: Additionally, support was added in <a
757: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ospfd.8">ospfd(8)</a> for interfaces
758: that share the same IP.
1.10 benno 759:
1.15 benno 760: <li>The <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a> packet filter and it's userland utility:
761: <ul>
762: <li>Relaxed checks in <a
763: href="https://man.openbsd.org/pfctl.8">pfctl(8)</a> and <a
764: href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a> to accept any valid
765: routing domain, even if it does not yet exist.
766: <li>Made <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pfctl.8">pfctl(8)</a>
767: detect and reject bogus ranges before loading the ruleset to prevent a
768: panic.
769: <li>Changed route-to in <a
770: href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.conf.5">pf.conf(5)</a> to send
771: packets to IPs instead of interfaces.
772: <li>Changed pf_route so <a
773: href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a> only runs when packets
774: enter and leave the stack. Running the same packet through pf multiple
775: times creates confusion for the state table. By default, pf states are
776: floating, meaning that packets are matched to states regardless of
777: which interface they're going over. This diff avoids multiple pf(4)
778: traversals of one packet causing confusion in the state table.
779: <li>Prevented the kernel from being stuck in an endless recursion
780: during TCP path MTU discovery when <a
781: href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a> changes the routing
782: table when sending packets.
783: <li>When cutting off the head of an overlapping fragment during <a
784: href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a> reassembly, reinserted
785: the fragment into the lookup table with the correct index.

791: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a>. If 'request addr
792: 0.0.0.0' is configured, any address will be accepted.
793: <li>Make <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a> accept
794: ANY dynamic address with 'request addr 0.0.0.0'.

804: "from dynamic," installing flows where "dynamic" is replaced by the
805: received dynamic IP address.
806: <li>Made sure not to replace 0.0.0.0 with a dynamic address in <a
807: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a> if it is a network
808: address.
809: <li>Added <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a> -s
810: socket option to specify a control socket.
811: <li>Used a counter instead of random IV for AES-GCM in <a
812: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a>, eliminating the
813: risk of random collisions.
814: <li>Added <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a>
815: support for multiple address pools.
816: <li>Added the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a>
817: "set stickyaddress" option, which attempts to assign the same "config
818: address" when an IKESA is negotiated with the DSTID of an existing
819: IKESA.
820: <li>Ensured rekeying of every child SA in <a
821: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a>.
1.5 benno 822: <li>Added <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a> support
823: for RSASSA-PSS signature verification (RFC 7427).
824: <li>Corrected the first packet of an <a
825: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ipsec.4">ipsec(4)</a> SA to have
826: sequence number 1.
827: <li>Accepted reject and blackhole routes for IPsec PMTU discovery.
828: <li>Prevented leaking of ipsec_hosts in <a
829: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a> when building
830: hosts_list.
831: <li>Prevented initiation of new additional SAs for each policy upon
832: every <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ikectl.8">ikectl(8)</a> config
833: reload.
834: <li>Fixed "any" and "dynamic" keywords for flows in <a
835: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a> and added proper
836: IPv6 support.
1.9 benno 837: <li>Created a path MTU host route for <a
838: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ipsec.4">IPsec(4)</a> over IPv6.
1.10 benno 839: <li>Added support for INVALID_KE_PAYLOAD in <a
840: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a> CREATE_CHILD_SA
841: exchange.
842: <li>Added support for RSA-PSS PKCS1 signatures to <a
843: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a>.
844: <li>Fixed path MTU discovery for ESP tunnels in IPv6.
845: <li>Upgraded to OpenSSL 1.1 compatible crypto API in <a
846: href="https://man.openbsd.org/iked.8">iked(8)</a>.
847: <li>Added an optional "group none" transform for child SAs in <a

1467: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
1468: <p>
1469: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
1470: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
1471: which are in a separate archive.
1472: To extract:
1473: <blockquote><pre>
1474: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
1475: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1476: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
1477: </pre></blockquote>
1478: <p>
1479: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1480: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
1481: To extract:
1482: <blockquote><pre>
1483: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
1484: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1485: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
1486: </pre></blockquote>
1487: <p>
1488: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1489: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1490: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1491: Using these files
1492: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1493: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1499: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
1500: <p>
1501: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
1502: <blockquote><pre>
1503: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
1504: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
1505: </pre></blockquote>
1506: <p>
1507: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1508: if you know nothing about ports
1509: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1510: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1511: OpenBSD ports system.
1512: <p>
1513: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1514: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1515: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1516: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1517: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1518: with a command like:
1519: <blockquote><pre>
1520: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1521: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_9</kbd>
1522: </pre></blockquote>
1523: <p>
1524: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1525: server.]
1526: <p>
1527: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1528: ports for the 6.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
1529: <p>
1530: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1531: would like to know more, the mailing list
1532: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
