1.51 benno 223: using ranges with a step value in cron. This extends the random range
224: syntax to support step values. Instead of choosing a random number
225: between the high and low values, the field is treated as a range with

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.

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760: withdrawn, and published again.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

1069: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1070: Introduce a transport-level ping facility. This adds
1071: a pair of SSH transport protocol messages SSH2_MSG_PING/PONG to
1072: implement a ping capability. These messages use numbers in the "local
1073: extensions" number space and are advertised using a "ping@openssh.com"
1074: ext-info message with a string version number of "0".
1.13 dtucker 1075: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1076: allow override of Subsystem directives in sshd Match blocks.
1077: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1078: allow forwarding Unix Domain sockets via ssh -W.
1079: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1080: add support for configuration tags to ssh(1).
1081: This adds a ssh_config(5) "Tag" directive and corresponding
1082: "Match tag" predicate that may be used to select blocks of
1083: configuration similar to the pf.conf(5) keywords of the same
1084: name.
1085: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1086: add a "match localnetwork" predicate. This allows matching
1087: on the addresses of available network interfaces and may be used to
1088: vary the effective client configuration based on network location.

1092: infrastructure support for KRL
1093: extensions. This defines wire formats for optional KRL extensions
1094: and implements parsing of the new submessages. No actual extensions
1095: are supported at this point.
1096: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1097: AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand and AuthorizedKeysCommand now
1098: accept two additional %-expansion sequences: %D which expands to
1099: the routing domain of the connected session and %C which expands
1100: to the addresses and port numbers for the source and destination
1101: of the connection.
1102: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1103: increase the default work factor (rounds) for the

1.13 dtucker 1124: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1125: Log errors in kex_exchange_identification() with level
1.12 dtucker 1126: verbose instead of error to reduce preauth log spam. All of those
1127: get logged with a more generic error message by sshpkt_fatal().
1128: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1129: correct math for ClientAliveInterval that caused the probes

1.16 jsg 1153: remove vestigial support for KRL
1.13 dtucker 1154: signatures When the KRL format was originally defined, it included
1155: support for signing of KRL objects. However, the code to sign KRLs
1.16 jsg 1156: and verify KRL signatures was never completed in OpenSSH. This
1.13 dtucker 1157: release removes the partially-implemented code to verify KRLs.
1158: All OpenSSH tools now ignore KRL_SECTION_SIGNATURE sections in
1159: KRL files.

1167: better validate CASignatureAlgorithms in

1170: OpenSSH does not support CA chains.
1171: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1172: make <code>ssh -Q CASignatureAlgorithms</code> only list signature
1173: algorithms that are valid for CA signing. Previous behaviour was

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

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