1.1 benno 228: <ul>
1.2 benno 229: <li>Add ability to constrain an RPKI Trust Anchor's effective signing
230: authority to a limited set of Internet numbers. This allows Relying
231: Parties to enjoy the potential benefits of assuming trust, but within
232: a bounded scope.
233: <li>Following a 'failed fetch' (described in RFC 9286), emit a warning and
234: continue with a previously cached Manifest file.
235: <li>Emit a warning when the remote repository presents a Manifest with an
236: unexpected manifestNumber.
237: <li>Improved CRL extension checking.
238: <li>Experimental support for the P-256 signature algorithm.
239: <!-- 8.8. -->
240: <li>A failed manifest fetch could result in a NULL pointer dereference or
241: a use after free.
242: <li>Reject non-conforming RRDP delta elements that contain neither publish
243: nor a withdraw element and fall back to the RRDP snapshot.
244: <li>Refactoring and minor bug fixes in the warning display functions.
245: <!-- 8.9 -->
246: <li>The handling of manifests fetched via rsync or RRDP was reworked to
247: fully conform to RFC 9286.
248: <li>Fix a race condition between closing an idle connection and scheduling a
249: new request on it.
250: <li>The evaluation time specified with -P now also applies to trust anchor
251: certificates.
252: <li>Check that the entire CMS eContent was consumed. Previously, trailing
253: data would be silently discarded on deserialization of products.
254: <li>In file mode do not consider overclaiming intermediate CA certificates
255: as invalid. OAA warning is still issued.
256: <li>Print the revocation time of certificates in file mode.
257: <li>Be more careful when converting OpenSSL numeric identifiers (NIDs)
258: to strings.
259: <!-- 9.0 -->
260: <li>Added support for RPKI Signed Prefix Lists.
261: <li>Added an -x flag to opt into parsing and evaluation of file types that are
262: still considered experimental.
263: <li>Added a metric to track the number of new files that were moved to the
264: validated cache.
265: <li>Ensure that the FileAndHashes list in a Manifest contains no duplicate
266: file names and no duplicate hashes.
1.1 benno 267: </ul>

1.5 op 271: <li>Add <code>Message-Id</code> as needed for messages received on
272: the submission port.
273: <li>Added support for RFC 7505 "Null MX" handling and treat
274: an MX of "localhost" as it were a "Null MX".
275: <li>Allow inline tables and filter listings in
276: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf.5">smtpd.conf(5)</a>
277: to span over multiple lines.
278: <li>Enabled <abbr title="Delivery Status Notification">DSN</abbr>
279: for the implicit socket too.
280: <li>Added the
281: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf.5#no-dsn~2">no-dsn</a>
282: option for <code>listen on socket</code> too.

288: deliveries as the recipient user again.
289: <li>Disallow custom commands and file reading in root's
290: <code>.forward</code> file.
291: <li>Do not process other users <code>.forward</code> files when
292: an alternate delivery user is provided in a dispatcher.
293: <li>Unify the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/table.5">table(5)</a>
294: parser used in
295: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.8">smtpd(8)</a> and
296: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/makemap.8">makemap(8)</a>.
297: <li>Allow to use <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/table.5">table(5)</a>
298: mappings on various match constraints.

728: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
729: <p>
730: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
731: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
732: which are in a separate archive.
733: To extract:
734: <blockquote><pre>
735: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
736: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
737: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
738: </pre></blockquote>
739: <p>
740: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
741: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
742: To extract:
743: <blockquote><pre>
744: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
745: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
746: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
747: </pre></blockquote>
748: <p>
749: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
750: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
751: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
752: Using these files
753: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
754: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

760: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
761: <p>
762: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
763: <blockquote><pre>
764: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
765: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
766: </pre></blockquote>
767: <p>
768: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
769: if you know nothing about ports
770: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
771: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
772: OpenBSD ports system.
773: <p>
774: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
775: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
776: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
777: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
778: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
779: with a command like:
780: <blockquote><pre>
781: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
782: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_5</kbd>
783: </pre></blockquote>
784: <p>
785: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
786: server.]
787: <p>
788: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
789: ports for the 7.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
790: <p>
791: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
792: would like to know more, the mailing list
793: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
