389: <li>Update ASPA support to follow draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification-16

391: tables AFI-agnostic.
392: <li>Rework UPDATE message generation to use the new ibuf API instead

408: <ul>
1.23 claudio 409: <li>A 30%-50% performance improvement was achieved through libcrypto's
410: partial chains certificate validation feature. Already validated
411: non-inheriting CA certificates are now marked as trusted roots. This
412: way it can be ensured that a leaf's delegated resources are properly
413: covered, and at the same time most validation paths are
414: significantly shortened.
415: <li>Support for gzip and deflate HTTP Content-Encoding compression was
416: added. This allows web servers to send RRDP XML in compressed form,
417: saving around 50% of bandwidth.
418: <li>ASPA support was updated to draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-16.
419: As part of supporting AFI-agnostic ASPAs, the JSON syntax for
420: Validated ASPA Payloads changed in both filemode and normal output.
421: <li>In filemode (-f option) the applicable manifests are now shown as
422: part of the signature path.
423: <li>A new -P option was added to manually specify a moment in time
424: to use when parsing the validity window of certificates. Useful
425: for regression testing. Default is invocation time of rpki-client.
426: <li>The -A option will now also exclude ASPA data from the JSON output.
427: <li>The synchronisation protocol used to sync the repository is now
428: included in the OpenMetrics output.
429: <li>Improved accounting by tracking objects both by repo and tal.
430: <li>Check whether products listed on a manifest were issued by the same
431: authority as the manifest itself.
432: <li>File modification timestamps of objects retrieved via RRDP are now
433: deterministically set to prepare the on-disk cache for seamless
434: failovers from RRDP to RSYNC.
435: <li>Improved detection of RRDP session desynchronization: a check was
436: added to compare whether the delta hashes associated to previously
437: seen serials are different in newly fetched notification files.
438: <li>Improved handling of RRDP deltas in which objects are published,
439: withdrawn, and published again.
440: <li>Disallow X.509 v2 issuer and subject unique identifiers in certs.
441: RPKI CAs will never issue certificates with V2 unique identifiers.
442: <li>A check to disallow duplicate X.509 certificate extensions was
443: added.
444: <li>A check to disallow empty sets of IP Addresses or AS numbers in RFC
445: 3779 extensions was added.
446: <li>A warning is printed when the CMS signing-time attribute in a Signed
447: Object is missing.
448: <li>Warnings about unrecoverable message digest mismatches now include
449: the manifestNumber to aid debugging the cause.
450: <li>A check was added to disallow multiple RRDP publish elements for the
451: same file in RRDP snapshots. If this error condition is encountered,
452: the RRDP transfer is failed and the RP falls back to rsync.
453: <li>A compliance check for the proper X.509 Certificate version and CRL
454: version was added.
455: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure CMS Signed Objects contain
456: SignedData, in accordance to RFC 6488 section 3 checklist item 1a.
457: <li>Compliance checks were added for the version, KeyUsage, and
458: ExtendedKeyUsage of EE certificates in Manifest, TAK, and GBR Signed
459: Objects.
460: <li>A CMS signing-time value being after the X.509 notAfter timestamp
461: was downgraded from an error to a warning.
462: <li>A bug was fixed in the handling of CA certificates which inherit IP
463: resources.
464: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the X.509 Subject only
465: contains commonName and optionally serialNumber.
466: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the CMS SignedData and
467: SignerInfo versions to be 3.
468: <li>Fisher-Yates shuffle the order in which Manifest entries are
469: processed. Previously, work items were enqueued in the order the CA
470: intended them to appear on a Manifest. However, there is no obvious
471: benefit to third parties deciding the order in which things are
472: processed.

1159: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1160: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1161: with a command like:
1162: <blockquote><pre>
1163: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.2 jsg 1164: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_4</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 1165: </pre></blockquote>
1166: <p>
1167: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1168: server.]
1169: <p>
1170: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1171: ports for the 7.4 release will be made available if problems arise.

1173: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1174: would like to know more, the mailing list
1175: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
