<li>Implement dt(4) utrace support on amd64 and i386.

<li>Implement battery management with sysctl(8)

hw.battery.chargemode, hw.battery.chargestop and hw.battery.chargestart.

<li>Correct undefined behavior when using MS-DOS filesystems, fixes imported from FreeBSD.

</ul>

a random offset less than the step value. This can be used to avoid

thundering herd problems where multiple machines contact a server all

at the same time via cron jobs.

<li>Introduce a new group "_shutdown". Previously the "operator"

group gave a user the ability to shutdown(8) a system. But this group

also comes with superuser abilities for dumping disks and manipulating

tape drives. With this change, the permissions are seperated and users

using the shutdown/reboot functionality with group "operator" will

notice it no longer works. They need to move themselves to the new

group.

<li>Extend and improve the ibuf API in <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/ibuf_add_buf.3">libutil</a> and add

function for more specific data types, for modifying data at specific

offsets, for getting and setting the filedescriptor stored on the ibuf

and for efficient wrapping of ibufs into imesgs. The ibuf API is

mostly used in network daemons.

<li>Introduce malloc option "D" for leak detection in malloc(3). To

produce and view leak reports via ktrace(1) and kdump(1) can be used.

<li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wsconsctl.8">wsconsctl(8)</a>,

add button mappings for two- and three-finger clicks on clickpads.

>blink-and-insert</a> matching a very long line

that is not currently visible in the window.

<li>Skip checking permissions of conffile with access(2).

<li>Resurrect no-tab-mode.

<li>Resurrect no-tab-mode and add it to the list of modes that can

be set with set-default-mode.

<li>Added a missing void.

</ul>

<li>On aarch64 architectures improve how BTI control flow integrity

>ober_scanf_elements(3)</a> when encountering empty sequences.

<li>Remove broken special handling of test -t in ksh(1).

<li>Consistently escape control chars when displaying file name

completions in ksh(1).

<li>The caching mechanism used by

to speed up <tt>pkg_add -u</tt> now also works if -stable packages

are available.

<li>In seq(1), fix a check for rounding error and truncation.

<li>In cron(8), introduce upstream fixes in the handling of @yearly, @monthly,

@weekly, @daily and @hourly entries.

<li>In pax(1), safely escape characters when displaying messages

that may include file names, and truncate times to the correct maximum

value.

</ul>

<li>Improved hardware support and driver bugfixes, including:

Line 402

Line 427

<li>Add qcaoss(4), a driver for the Always On Subsystem found on Qualcomm SoCs.

<li>Implement battery charge control for the Apple System Management Controller aplsmc(4).

<li>Add qcpas(4), a driver for the Peripheral Authentication Service found on Qualcomm SoCs.

<li>Fix use of MMC/SD/SDIO on RK3588 ARM SoC in dwmmc(4).

<li>Support thermal sensors on Ryzen 9 79xx in ksmn(4).

<li>Add qctsens(4), a driver for the Temperature Sensor found on Qualcomm SoCs.

<li>Add support for JH7110 to dwmmc(4), making eMMC and microSD

mostly work on the Starfive VisionFive 2.

<li>Enable AC detection in the qcpas(4) driver.

<li>Add driver qccpu(4) for QC cpu Power States.

</ul>

<li>New or improved network hardware support:

Line 460

marvell link street.

<li>Add support for RTL8153D devices to

<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ure.4">ure(4)</a>.

<li>Provide byte and packet counter statistics in some dwge(4) implementations.

</ul>

<li>Added or improved wireless network drivers:

Line 496

Line 529

<li>Attempt to not overflow the ramdisk when extracting firmware on

Apple arm64 systems.

<li>Add support for loading files from the EFI System Partition.

<li>Fix a bug in the handling of SCSI drives in the bootloader on the luna88k architecture.

<li>On luna88k, implement the chmod() signaling mechanism for

<code>/bsd.upgrade</code> to prevent re-upgrade, like other

architectures.

</ul>

<li>Security improvements:

Line 569

Line 606

due to conflict on chosen source port number.

<li>Implement TCP send offloading, for now in software only. This is

meant as a fallback if network hardware does not support TSO.

<li>pfsync(4) has been rewritten. The protocol is compatible with the older version.

<li>Use TSO and LRO on the loopback interface to transfer TCP faster,

when <code>tcplro</code> is activated on lo(4).

<li>pfsync(4) has been rewritten. The protocol is compatible with the older version.

<li>Close all pf(4) transactions before opening a new one when

retrieving the ruleset. Fixes leaking transactions which can be

problematic when processes run a long time.

</ul>

<li>Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:

Line 607

Line 649

<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/EC_KEY_check_key.3"

>EC_KEY_check_key(3)</a> fails right after generating

a new key pair.

<li>In iked(8), fix a open file leak in error path.

<li>In iked(8), verify X509 chain from CERT payloads.

<li>Allow building

<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/isakmpd.8">isakmpd(8)</a>

with a libcrypto library that has

Line 760

Line 804

<li>Make the <code>tlsv1.0</code> and <code>tlsv1.1</code> options

in relayd(8) do nothing, as one should use the default <code>tlsv1.2</code>

instead.

<li>Fix IPv6 routes being changed by relayd(8) with Routers configuration.
