1.51 benno 228: using ranges with a step value in cron. This extends the random range
229: syntax to support step values. Instead of choosing a random number
230: between the high and low values, the field is treated as a range with

1.61 benno 238: using the shutdown/reboot functionality with group "operator" will
239: notice it no longer works. They need to move themselves to the new
240: group.

242: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ibuf_add_buf.3">libutil</a> and add
243: function for more specific data types, for modifying data at specific
244: offsets, for getting and setting the filedescriptor stored on the ibuf
245: and for efficient wrapping of ibufs into imesgs. The ibuf API is
246: mostly used in network daemons.
247: <li>Introduce malloc option "D" for leak detection in malloc(3). To
248: produce and view leak reports via ktrace(1) and kdump(1) can be used.
1.59 schwarze 249: <li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wsconsctl.8">wsconsctl(8)</a>,

268: <li>Prevent a read buffer overrun in
269: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/patch.1">patch(1)</a>
270: that could occur when a patch specified a file name ending in a slash.
271: <li>Let <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/stat.1">stat(1)</a>
272: correctly print mtimes after 2038.
1.21 schwarze 273: <li>Refactoring and documenting of
274: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> code,
275: to make it easier to maintain.
1.34 krw 276: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a>
277: no longer adds extra blanks at the end of lines, eliminating
278: spurious line wrapping.

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

1063: fixed intervals (default: every 20ms) when there is only a small
1064: amount of data being sent. It also sends fake "chaff" keystrokes for
1065: a random interval after the last real keystroke. These are
1066: controlled by a new ssh_config ObscureKeystrokeTiming keyword.

1068: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1069: Introduce a transport-level ping facility. This adds
1070: a pair of SSH transport protocol messages SSH2_MSG_PING/PONG to
1071: implement a ping capability. These messages use numbers in the "local
1072: extensions" number space and are advertised using a "ping@openssh.com"
1073: ext-info message with a string version number of "0".
1.13 dtucker 1074: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1075: allow override of Subsystem directives in sshd Match blocks.
1076: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1077: allow forwarding Unix Domain sockets via ssh -W.
1078: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1079: add support for configuration tags to ssh(1).
1080: This adds a ssh_config(5) "Tag" directive and corresponding
1081: "Match tag" predicate that may be used to select blocks of
1082: configuration similar to the pf.conf(5) keywords of the same
1083: name.
1084: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1085: add a "match localnetwork" predicate. This allows matching
1086: on the addresses of available network interfaces and may be used to
1087: vary the effective client configuration based on network location.

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

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

1.16 jsg 1152: remove vestigial support for KRL
1.13 dtucker 1153: signatures When the KRL format was originally defined, it included
1154: support for signing of KRL objects. However, the code to sign KRLs
1.16 jsg 1155: and verify KRL signatures was never completed in OpenSSH. This

1157: All OpenSSH tools now ignore KRL_SECTION_SIGNATURE sections in
1158: KRL files.

1166: better validate CASignatureAlgorithms in

1169: OpenSSH does not support CA chains.
1170: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1171: make <code>ssh -Q CASignatureAlgorithms</code> only list signature
1172: algorithms that are valid for CA signing. Previous behaviour was

1486: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
1487: <p>
1488: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
1489: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
1490: which are in a separate archive.
1491: To extract:
1492: <blockquote><pre>
1493: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
1494: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1495: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
1496: </pre></blockquote>
1497: <p>
1498: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1499: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
1500: To extract:
1501: <blockquote><pre>
1502: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
1503: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1504: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
1505: </pre></blockquote>
1506: <p>
1507: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1508: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1509: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1510: Using these files
1511: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1512: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1520: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
1521: <blockquote><pre>
1522: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
1523: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
1524: </pre></blockquote>
1525: <p>
1526: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1527: if you know nothing about ports
1528: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1529: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1530: OpenBSD ports system.
1531: <p>
1532: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1533: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1534: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1535: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1536: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1537: with a command like:
1538: <blockquote><pre>
1539: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.2 jsg 1540: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_4</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 1541: </pre></blockquote>
1542: <p>
1543: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1544: server.]
1545: <p>
1546: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1547: ports for the 7.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
1548: <p>
1549: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1550: would like to know more, the mailing list
1551: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
