1.1 deraadt 192: </ul>
193:
194: <li>Various new userland features:
195: <ul>
1.20 schwarze 196: <li>New ISO C11 header <code><uchar.h></code> declaring the
197: types <code>char32_t</code> and <code>char16_t</code> and the
198: functions <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/c32rtomb.3">c32rtomb(3)</a>,
199: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mbrtoc32.3">mbrtoc32(3)</a>,
200: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/c16rtomb.3">c16rtomb(3)</a>, and

1.51 benno 219: <li>In cron(8) and crontab(5), add support for random offsets when
220: using ranges with a step value in cron. This extends the random range
221: syntax to support step values. Instead of choosing a random number
222: between the high and low values, the field is treated as a range with
223: a random offset less than the step value. This can be used to avoid

! 232: group.

! 234: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ibuf_add_buf.3">libutil</a> and add
! 235: function for more specific data types, for modifying data at specific
! 236: offsets, for getting and setting the filedescriptor stored on the ibuf
! 237: and for efficient wrapping of ibufs into imesgs. The ibuf API is
! 238: mostly used in network daemons.
! 239: <li>Introduce malloc option "D" for leak detection in malloc(3). To
! 240: produce and view leak reports via ktrace(1) and kdump(1) can be used.
1.59 schwarze 241: <li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wsconsctl.8">wsconsctl(8)</a>,
242: add button mappings for two- and three-finger clicks on clickpads.

259: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/basename.3">basename(3)</a> failed.
260: <li>Prevent a read buffer overrun in
261: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/patch.1">patch(1)</a>
262: that could occur when a patch specified a file name ending in a slash.
263: <li>Let <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/stat.1">stat(1)</a>
264: correctly print mtimes after 2038.
1.21 schwarze 265: <li>Refactoring and documenting of
266: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> code,
267: to make it easier to maintain.
1.34 krw 268: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a>
269: no longer adds extra blanks at the end of lines, eliminating
270: spurious line wrapping.
1.21 schwarze 271: <li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/clang.1">clang(1)</a>,
272: allow out-of-class defaulting of comparison operators,
1.11 benno 273: by ways of backporting an upstream commit.

284: position even if the line contains tabs, control characters,
285: or non-ASCII bytes.

706: authority as the manifest itself.
707: <li>File modification timestamps of objects retrieved via RRDP are now
708: deterministically set to prepare the on-disk cache for seamless
709: failovers from RRDP to RSYNC.
710: <li>Improved detection of RRDP session desynchronization: a check was
711: added to compare whether the delta hashes associated to previously
712: seen serials are different in newly fetched notification files.
713: <li>Improved handling of RRDP deltas in which objects are published,
714: withdrawn, and published again.
715: <li>Disallow X.509 v2 issuer and subject unique identifiers in certs.
716: RPKI CAs will never issue certificates with V2 unique identifiers.

723: <li>Warnings about unrecoverable message digest mismatches now include
724: the manifestNumber to aid debugging the cause.
725: <li>A check was added to disallow multiple RRDP publish elements for the
726: same file in RRDP snapshots. If this error condition is encountered,
727: the RRDP transfer is failed and the RP falls back to rsync.
728: <li>A compliance check for the proper X.509 Certificate version and CRL
729: version was added.
730: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure CMS Signed Objects contain
731: SignedData, in accordance to RFC 6488 section 3 checklist item 1a.

733: ExtendedKeyUsage of EE certificates in Manifest, TAK, and GBR Signed

736: was downgraded from an error to a warning.
737: <li>A bug was fixed in the handling of CA certificates which inherit IP
738: resources.
739: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the X.509 Subject only
740: contains commonName and optionally serialNumber.
741: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the CMS SignedData and
742: SignerInfo versions to be 3.
743: <li>Fisher-Yates shuffle the order in which Manifest entries are
744: processed. Previously, work items were enqueued in the order the CA
745: intended them to appear on a Manifest. However, there is no obvious

1467: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
1468: <p>
1469: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
1470: <blockquote><pre>
1471: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
1472: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
1473: </pre></blockquote>
1474: <p>
1475: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1476: if you know nothing about ports
1477: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1478: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1479: OpenBSD ports system.
1480: <p>
1481: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1482: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1483: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1484: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1485: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1486: with a command like:
1487: <blockquote><pre>
1488: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.2 jsg 1489: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_4</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 1490: </pre></blockquote>
1491: <p>
1492: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1493: server.]
1494: <p>
1495: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1496: ports for the 7.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
1497: <p>
1498: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1499: would like to know more, the mailing list
1500: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
