239: offsets, for getting and setting the filedescriptor stored on the ibuf
240: and for efficient wrapping of ibufs into imesgs. The ibuf API is
241: mostly used in network daemons.
242: <li>Introduce malloc option "D" for leak detection in malloc(3). To
243: produce and view leak reports via ktrace(1) and kdump(1) can be used.
1.59 schwarze 244: <li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wsconsctl.8">wsconsctl(8)</a>,

263: <li>Prevent a read buffer overrun in
264: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/patch.1">patch(1)</a>
265: that could occur when a patch specified a file name ending in a slash.
266: <li>Let <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/stat.1">stat(1)</a>
267: correctly print mtimes after 2038.
1.21 schwarze 268: <li>Refactoring and documenting of
269: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> code,
270: to make it easier to maintain.
1.34 krw 271: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a>
272: no longer adds extra blanks at the end of lines, eliminating
273: spurious line wrapping.

1.22 claudio 690: <li>Add first version of flowspec support. Right now only announcement
691: of flowspec rules is possible.
692: <li>Update ASPA support to follow draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification-16
693: and draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-16 by making the ASPA lookup
694: tables AFI-agnostic.
695: <li>Rework UPDATE message generation to use the new ibuf API instead
696: of the hand-rolled solution before.
697: <li>Fix <code>ext-community * *</code> matching which also affects
1.29 jsg 698: filters removing all ext-communities.
1.22 claudio 699: <li>Improve and extend the bgpctl parser to handle commands like
700: <code>bgpctl show rib 192.0.2.0/24 detail</code>.
701: Also add various flowspec specific commands.
702: <li>Introduce a semaphore to protect intermittent RTR session data
703: from being published to the RDE.
704: <li>Limit the socket buffer size to 64k for all sessions.
705: Limiting the buffer size to a reasonable size ensures that not
706: too many updates end up queued in the TCP stack.

711: <ul>
1.23 claudio 712: <li>A 30%-50% performance improvement was achieved through libcrypto's
713: partial chains certificate validation feature. Already validated
714: non-inheriting CA certificates are now marked as trusted roots. This
715: way it can be ensured that a leaf's delegated resources are properly
716: covered, and at the same time most validation paths are
717: significantly shortened.
718: <li>Support for gzip and deflate HTTP Content-Encoding compression was
719: added. This allows web servers to send RRDP XML in compressed form,
720: saving around 50% of bandwidth.
721: <li>ASPA support was updated to draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-16.
722: As part of supporting AFI-agnostic ASPAs, the JSON syntax for
723: Validated ASPA Payloads changed in both filemode and normal output.
724: <li>In filemode (-f option) the applicable manifests are now shown as
725: part of the signature path.
726: <li>A new -P option was added to manually specify a moment in time
727: to use when parsing the validity window of certificates. Useful
728: for regression testing. Default is invocation time of rpki-client.
729: <li>The -A option will now also exclude ASPA data from the JSON output.
730: <li>The synchronisation protocol used to sync the repository is now
731: included in the OpenMetrics output.
732: <li>Improved accounting by tracking objects both by repo and tal.
733: <li>Check whether products listed on a manifest were issued by the same
734: authority as the manifest itself.
735: <li>File modification timestamps of objects retrieved via RRDP are now
736: deterministically set to prepare the on-disk cache for seamless
737: failovers from RRDP to RSYNC.
738: <li>Improved detection of RRDP session desynchronization: a check was
739: added to compare whether the delta hashes associated to previously
740: seen serials are different in newly fetched notification files.
741: <li>Improved handling of RRDP deltas in which objects are published,
742: withdrawn, and published again.
743: <li>Disallow X.509 v2 issuer and subject unique identifiers in certs.
744: RPKI CAs will never issue certificates with V2 unique identifiers.
745: <li>A check to disallow duplicate X.509 certificate extensions was
746: added.
747: <li>A check to disallow empty sets of IP Addresses or AS numbers in RFC
748: 3779 extensions was added.
749: <li>A warning is printed when the CMS signing-time attribute in a Signed
750: Object is missing.
751: <li>Warnings about unrecoverable message digest mismatches now include
752: the manifestNumber to aid debugging the cause.
753: <li>A check was added to disallow multiple RRDP publish elements for the
754: same file in RRDP snapshots. If this error condition is encountered,
755: the RRDP transfer is failed and the RP falls back to rsync.
756: <li>A compliance check for the proper X.509 Certificate version and CRL
757: version was added.
758: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure CMS Signed Objects contain
759: SignedData, in accordance to RFC 6488 section 3 checklist item 1a.
760: <li>Compliance checks were added for the version, KeyUsage, and
761: ExtendedKeyUsage of EE certificates in Manifest, TAK, and GBR Signed
762: Objects.
763: <li>A CMS signing-time value being after the X.509 notAfter timestamp
764: was downgraded from an error to a warning.
765: <li>A bug was fixed in the handling of CA certificates which inherit IP
766: resources.
767: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the X.509 Subject only
768: contains commonName and optionally serialNumber.
769: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the CMS SignedData and
770: SignerInfo versions to be 3.
771: <li>Fisher-Yates shuffle the order in which Manifest entries are
772: processed. Previously, work items were enqueued in the order the CA
773: intended them to appear on a Manifest. However, there is no obvious
774: benefit to third parties deciding the order in which things are
775: processed.

1.13 dtucker 1106: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1107: Log errors in kex_exchange_identification() with level
1.12 dtucker 1108: verbose instead of error to reduce preauth log spam. All of those
1109: get logged with a more generic error message by sshpkt_fatal().
1110: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1111: correct math for ClientAliveInterval that caused the probes

1.16 jsg 1135: remove vestigial support for KRL
1.13 dtucker 1136: signatures When the KRL format was originally defined, it included
1137: support for signing of KRL objects. However, the code to sign KRLs
1.16 jsg 1138: and verify KRL signatures was never completed in OpenSSH. This

1140: All OpenSSH tools now ignore KRL_SECTION_SIGNATURE sections in
1141: KRL files.

1149: better validate CASignatureAlgorithms in

1152: OpenSSH does not support CA chains.
1153: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1154: make <code>ssh -Q CASignatureAlgorithms</code> only list signature
1155: algorithms that are valid for CA signing. Previous behaviour was
1156: to list all signing algorithms, including certificate algorithms.
1157: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keyscan.1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:

1168: the resultant file would be erroneously truncated.

1435: Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, boot from it, and type
1436: <i>boot cdrom</i>.
1437:
1438: <p>
1439: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
1440: <i>floppy74.img</i> or <i>floppyB74.img</i>
1441: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
1442: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
1443:
1444: <p>
1445: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
1446: will most likely fail.
1447:
1448: <p>
1449: You can also write <i>miniroot74.img</i> to the swap partition on
1450: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
1451:
1452: <p>
1453: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.

1469: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
1470: <p>
1471: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
1472: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
1473: which are in a separate archive.
1474: To extract:
1475: <blockquote><pre>
1476: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
1477: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1478: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
1479: </pre></blockquote>
1480: <p>
1481: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1482: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
1483: To extract:
1484: <blockquote><pre>
1485: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
1486: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1487: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
1488: </pre></blockquote>
1489: <p>
1490: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1491: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1492: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1493: Using these files
1494: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1495: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1503: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
1504: <blockquote><pre>
1505: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
1506: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
1507: </pre></blockquote>
1508: <p>
1509: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1510: if you know nothing about ports
1511: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1512: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1513: OpenBSD ports system.
1514: <p>
1515: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1516: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1517: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1518: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1519: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1520: with a command like:
1521: <blockquote><pre>
1522: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.2 jsg 1523: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_4</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 1524: </pre></blockquote>
1525: <p>
1526: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1527: server.]
1528: <p>
1529: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1530: ports for the 7.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
1531: <p>
1532: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1533: would like to know more, the mailing list
1534: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
