1.51 benno 225: using ranges with a step value in cron. This extends the random range
226: syntax to support step values. Instead of choosing a random number
227: between the high and low values, the field is treated as a range with

241: offsets, for getting and setting the filedescriptor stored on the ibuf
242: and for efficient wrapping of ibufs into imesgs. The ibuf API is
243: mostly used in network daemons.
244: <li>Introduce malloc option "D" for leak detection in malloc(3). To
245: produce and view leak reports via ktrace(1) and kdump(1) can be used.
1.59 schwarze 246: <li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wsconsctl.8">wsconsctl(8)</a>,

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

730: <ul>
1.23 claudio 731: <li>A 30%-50% performance improvement was achieved through libcrypto's
732: partial chains certificate validation feature. Already validated
733: non-inheriting CA certificates are now marked as trusted roots. This
734: way it can be ensured that a leaf's delegated resources are properly
735: covered, and at the same time most validation paths are
736: significantly shortened.
737: <li>Support for gzip and deflate HTTP Content-Encoding compression was
738: added. This allows web servers to send RRDP XML in compressed form,
739: saving around 50% of bandwidth.
740: <li>ASPA support was updated to draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-16.
741: As part of supporting AFI-agnostic ASPAs, the JSON syntax for
742: Validated ASPA Payloads changed in both filemode and normal output.
743: <li>In filemode (-f option) the applicable manifests are now shown as
744: part of the signature path.
745: <li>A new -P option was added to manually specify a moment in time
746: to use when parsing the validity window of certificates. Useful
747: for regression testing. Default is invocation time of rpki-client.
748: <li>The -A option will now also exclude ASPA data from the JSON output.
749: <li>The synchronisation protocol used to sync the repository is now
750: included in the OpenMetrics output.
751: <li>Improved accounting by tracking objects both by repo and tal.
752: <li>Check whether products listed on a manifest were issued by the same
753: authority as the manifest itself.
754: <li>File modification timestamps of objects retrieved via RRDP are now
755: deterministically set to prepare the on-disk cache for seamless
756: failovers from RRDP to RSYNC.
757: <li>Improved detection of RRDP session desynchronization: a check was
758: added to compare whether the delta hashes associated to previously
759: seen serials are different in newly fetched notification files.
760: <li>Improved handling of RRDP deltas in which objects are published,
761: withdrawn, and published again.
762: <li>Disallow X.509 v2 issuer and subject unique identifiers in certs.
763: RPKI CAs will never issue certificates with V2 unique identifiers.
764: <li>A check to disallow duplicate X.509 certificate extensions was
765: added.
766: <li>A check to disallow empty sets of IP Addresses or AS numbers in RFC
767: 3779 extensions was added.
768: <li>A warning is printed when the CMS signing-time attribute in a Signed
769: Object is missing.
770: <li>Warnings about unrecoverable message digest mismatches now include
771: the manifestNumber to aid debugging the cause.
772: <li>A check was added to disallow multiple RRDP publish elements for the
773: same file in RRDP snapshots. If this error condition is encountered,
774: the RRDP transfer is failed and the RP falls back to rsync.
775: <li>A compliance check for the proper X.509 Certificate version and CRL
776: version was added.
777: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure CMS Signed Objects contain
778: SignedData, in accordance to RFC 6488 section 3 checklist item 1a.
779: <li>Compliance checks were added for the version, KeyUsage, and
780: ExtendedKeyUsage of EE certificates in Manifest, TAK, and GBR Signed
781: Objects.
782: <li>A CMS signing-time value being after the X.509 notAfter timestamp
783: was downgraded from an error to a warning.
784: <li>A bug was fixed in the handling of CA certificates which inherit IP
785: resources.
786: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the X.509 Subject only
787: contains commonName and optionally serialNumber.
788: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the CMS SignedData and
789: SignerInfo versions to be 3.
790: <li>Fisher-Yates shuffle the order in which Manifest entries are
791: processed. Previously, work items were enqueued in the order the CA

1064: to hide inter-keystroke timings by sending interactive traffic at
1065: fixed intervals (default: every 20ms) when there is only a small
1066: amount of data being sent. It also sends fake "chaff" keystrokes for
1067: a random interval after the last real keystroke. These are
1068: controlled by a new ssh_config ObscureKeystrokeTiming keyword.

1070: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1071: Introduce a transport-level ping facility. This adds
1072: a pair of SSH transport protocol messages SSH2_MSG_PING/PONG to
1073: implement a ping capability. These messages use numbers in the "local
1074: extensions" number space and are advertised using a "ping@openssh.com"
1075: ext-info message with a string version number of "0".
1.13 dtucker 1076: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1077: allow override of Subsystem directives in sshd Match blocks.
1078: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1079: allow forwarding Unix Domain sockets via ssh -W.
1080: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1081: add support for configuration tags to ssh(1).
1082: This adds a ssh_config(5) "Tag" directive and corresponding
1083: "Match tag" predicate that may be used to select blocks of
1084: configuration similar to the pf.conf(5) keywords of the same
1085: name.
1086: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1087: add a "match localnetwork" predicate. This allows matching
1088: on the addresses of available network interfaces and may be used to
1089: vary the effective client configuration based on network location.

1095: and implements parsing of the new submessages. No actual extensions
1096: are supported at this point.
1097: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1098: AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand and AuthorizedKeysCommand now
1099: accept two additional %-expansion sequences: %D which expands to
1100: the routing domain of the connected session and %C which expands
1101: to the addresses and port numbers for the source and destination
1102: of the connection.

1126: Log errors in kex_exchange_identification() with level
1.12 dtucker 1127: verbose instead of error to reduce preauth log spam. All of those
1128: get logged with a more generic error message by sshpkt_fatal().
1129: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1130: correct math for ClientAliveInterval that caused the probes

1.16 jsg 1154: remove vestigial support for KRL
1.13 dtucker 1155: signatures When the KRL format was originally defined, it included
1156: support for signing of KRL objects. However, the code to sign KRLs
1.16 jsg 1157: and verify KRL signatures was never completed in OpenSSH. This
1.13 dtucker 1158: release removes the partially-implemented code to verify KRLs.
1159: All OpenSSH tools now ignore KRL_SECTION_SIGNATURE sections in
1160: KRL files.

1168: better validate CASignatureAlgorithms in

1171: OpenSSH does not support CA chains.
1172: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1173: make <code>ssh -Q CASignatureAlgorithms</code> only list signature
1174: algorithms that are valid for CA signing. Previous behaviour was

1488: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
1489: <p>
1490: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
1491: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
1492: which are in a separate archive.
1493: To extract:
1494: <blockquote><pre>
1495: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
1496: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1497: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
1498: </pre></blockquote>
1499: <p>
1500: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1501: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
1502: To extract:
1503: <blockquote><pre>
1504: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
1505: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1506: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
1507: </pre></blockquote>
1508: <p>
1509: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1510: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1511: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1512: Using these files
1513: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1514: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1523: <blockquote><pre>
1524: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
1525: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
1526: </pre></blockquote>
1527: <p>
1528: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1529: if you know nothing about ports
1530: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1531: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1532: OpenBSD ports system.
1533: <p>
1534: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1535: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1536: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1537: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1538: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1539: with a command like:
1540: <blockquote><pre>
1541: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.2 jsg 1542: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_4</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 1543: </pre></blockquote>
1544: <p>
1545: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1546: server.]
1547: <p>
1548: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1549: ports for the 7.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
1550: <p>
1551: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1552: would like to know more, the mailing list
1553: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
