! 90: <li>Added support for switching from glass console to serial console
! 91: on arm64 systems that default to glass console.
1.9 bluhm 92: <li>pf(4) automatically allows IGMP and ICMP6 MLD packets with
93: router alert option.
94: Special allow-opts rules are no longer needed for multicast
95: discovery.
96: <li>Implement "show all routes" to print routing tables in ddb(4).
97: <li>Count dropped network packets due to low memory in netstat(1).
1.12 ! benno 98: <li>Simplified machine command handling in <a
! 99: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ddb.4">ddb(4)</a>.
! 100: <li>Changed to a simpler formula to calculate a default kern.maxthread
! 101: value: 2*NPROCESS.
! 102: <li>Enabled <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/kstat.4">kstat(4)</a>, a
! 103: device that exports kernel statistics that can be read by <a
! 104: href="https://man.openbsd.org/kstat.4">kstat(4)</a>.
1.1 deraadt 105: </ul>
106:
107: <li>SMP Improvements
108: <ul>
1.9 bluhm 109: <li>Make route timer MP safe and use pool rttmr.
110: <li>Use kernel lock to protect parts of ARP, ND6 and PPPoE that
111: are not MP safe.
112: Lookup of existing ARP entry is MP safe and can run in parallel.
113: <li>Start up to 4 softnet tasks to run IP input and forwarding
114: in parallel on multiple cores.
115: <li>Run IPv4 packet reassembly in parallel.
116: <li>Run IPv6 hop-by-hop options processing in parallel.
117: <li>Add a mutex to rate limiting functions to make them MP safe.
118: <li>Introduce mutex and reference counter for internet protocol
119: control block.
120: <li>Protect UDP, raw IP, and divert packet input routines
121: with a per socket mutex.
122: <li>Protect recv(2) system call for UDP and raw IP packets with
123: a per socket mutex and shared netlock.
124: Allows to receive packets while forwarding in parallel.
125: <li>Protect multicast deliver loop for UDP and raw IP sockets with rwlock.
126: <li>Only grab netlock in IGMP and MDL6 timer when necessary.
127: <li>TCP slow timer runs without netlock.
128: <li>Rework rwlock so that a writer will get the lock eventually.
129: Readers cannot share the lock forever.
130: This prevents starvation of the writer.
131: <li>Run interface media ioctl with shared netlock so packets
132: can be processed while running ifconfig(8).
133: <li>btrace(8) can be used to debug reference counting.
134: <li>Use MP safe refcount for interface addresses.

305: <ul>
1.12 ! benno 306: <li>Allowed more than one CRL URI in certificates.
1.11 benno 307: <li>Do not apply timezone offsets when converting X509 times. X509
308: times are in UTC and comparing them to times in different timezones
309: would cause validity problems.
310: <li>Add support for an operator-configurable skiplist facility.
311: Operators can specify a list of FQDNs which should not be contacted
312: when synchronizing the local cache to the network.
313: <li>Emit a warning when a RRDP session serial number decreases.
314: <li>DER decoding functions were refactored to leverage ASN.1 templates.
315: <li>Add support to validate & inspect .sig files containing RPKI Signed
316: Checklists in filemode (-f). (draft-ietf-sidrops-rpki-rsc-08)
317: <li>Print various statistics after the completion of the main process.
318: <li>Add support to decode & print TAL (RFC 8630) details in filemode (-f).
319: <li>Emit objects in Concatenated JSON format when filemode (-f) and the JSON
320: output flag (-j) are combined.
321: <li>Add suport for validating Autonomous System Provider Authorization
322: (ASPA) objects conforming to draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-10.
323: Validated ASPA payloads are visible in JSON and filemode (-f) output.
324: <li>Set rsync connection I/O idle timeout to 15 seconds.
325: <li>Unify the maximum idle I/O and connect timeouts for RSYNC & HTTPS.
326: <li>Rpki-client now performs stricter EE certificate validation:
327: <ul>
328: <li>Disallow AS Resources extensions in ROA EE certificates.
329: <li>Disallow Subject Information Access (SIA) extensions in RPKI
330: Signed Checklist (RSC) EE certs.
331: <li>Check the resources in ROAs and RSCs against EE certs.
332: </ul>
333: <li>Improve readability and add various information being printed in
334: verbose mode.
335: <li>Extend filemode (-f) output and print X.509 certificates in PEM
336: format when increased verbosity (-vv) is specified.
337: <li>Shorten the RRDP I/O idle timeout.
338: <li>Introduce a deadline timer that aborts all repository synchronization
339: after seven eights of timeout (-s). With this rpki-client has improved
340: chances to complete and produce an output even when a CA is excessivly
341: slow.
342: <li>Abort a currently running RRDP request process when the per-repository
343: timeout is reached.
344: <li>Permit multiple AccessDescription entries in SIA X.509 extensions. While
345: fetching from secondary locations is not yet supported, rpki-client will
346: not treat occurence as a fatal error.
347: <li>Resolve a potential for a race condition in non-atomic RRDP deltas.
348: <li>Fix some memory leaks.
349: <li>Improve compliance with the HTTP protocol specification.
350: </ul>
351:
352: <li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rpki-client.8">ospfd(8)</a>,
353: relax the limitations on what is an acceptable unicast IP. There are no
354: more experiments in IPv4 and so there is less reason for network
355: daemons to deny formerly experimental IP space. Multicast IPs
356: (224/4) and loopback (127/8) are stil disallowed.

698: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
699: <p>
700: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
701: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
702: which are in a separate archive.
703: To extract:
704: <blockquote><pre>
705: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
706: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
707: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
708: </pre></blockquote>
709: <p>
710: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
711: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
712: To extract:
713: <blockquote><pre>
714: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
715: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
716: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
717: </pre></blockquote>
718: <p>
719: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
720: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
721: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
722: Using these files
723: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
724: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

730: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
731: <p>
732: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
733: <blockquote><pre>
734: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
735: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
736: </pre></blockquote>
737: <p>
738: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
739: if you know nothing about ports
740: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
741: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
742: OpenBSD ports system.
743: <p>
744: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
745: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
746: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
747: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
748: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
749: with a command like:
750: <blockquote><pre>
751: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
752: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_2</kbd>
753: </pre></blockquote>
754: <p>
755: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
756: server.]
757: <p>
758: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
759: ports for the 7.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
760: <p>
761: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
762: would like to know more, the mailing list
763: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
