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450: withdrawn, and published again.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

1155: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
1156: <blockquote><pre>
1157: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
1158: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
1159: </pre></blockquote>
1160: <p>
1161: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1162: if you know nothing about ports
1163: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1164: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1165: OpenBSD ports system.
1166: <p>
1167: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1168: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1169: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1170: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1171: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1172: with a command like:
1173: <blockquote><pre>
1174: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.2 jsg 1175: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_4</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 1176: </pre></blockquote>
1177: <p>
1178: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1179: server.]
1180: <p>
1181: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1182: ports for the 7.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
1183: <p>
1184: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1185: would like to know more, the mailing list
1186: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
