72: <p>
73: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 7.5.
74: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus75.html">changelog</a> leading <!-- plus? XXX -->
75: to 7.5.

79: <!--
80: <li>New/extended platforms:
81: <ul>
82: <li>...
83: </ul>
84: -->
85:
86: <li>Various kernel improvements:
87: <ul>
1.26 benno 88: <li>Added <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bt.5">bt(5)</a> and <a
89: href="https://man.openbsd.org/btrace.8">btrace(8)</a> support for
90: binary modulo operator ('%').
91: <li>Added a TIMEOUT_MPSAFE flag to <a
92: href="https://man.openbsd.org/timeout.9">timeout(9)</a>.
93: <li>Added IBM encoded version of the "Spleen 8x16" font, usable as console font.
94: <li>Cleanup and machine-independent refactoring of three context
95: switch paths outside of mi_switch(): when a process forks and the new
96: proc needs to be scheduled by proc_trampoline, cpu_hatch: when booting
97: APs, and sched_exit: when a proc exits.
98: <li>Made <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/vscsi.4">vscsi(4)</a>
99: 'vscsi_filtops' mpsafe and extended the 'sc_state_mtx' <a
100: href="https://man.openbsd.org/mutex.9">mutex(9)</a> to protect
101: 'sc_klist' knotes list.
102: <li>Made out-of-swap checking more robust, preventing potential deadlocks.
103: <li>Eliminated the ioctl whitelist that <a
104: href="https://man.openbsd.org/bio.4">bio(4)</a> will tunnel for other
105: devices, allowing bio to be used with other (non-raid) related
106: devices.
1.30 benno 107: <li>On msdos filesystems, ensure that a complete struct fsinfo is read
108: even if the filesystem sectors are smaller.
109: <li>Made <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/malloc.3">malloc(3)</a> save
110: backtraces to show in leak dump with depth of backtrace set via malloc
111: option D (aka 1), 2, 3 or 4.
112: <li>Implemented per-CPU caching for the page table page (vp) pool and
113: the PTE descriptor (pted) pool in the arm64 pmap implementation. This
114: significantly reduces the side-effects of lock contention on the
115: kernel map lock and leads to significant speedups on machines with
116: many CPU scores.

757:
758: <br>User/hostnames provided via <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5'>ssh_config(5)</a> are not subject to these
759: restrictions, allowing configurations that use strange names to
760: continue to be used, under the assumption that the user knows what
761: they are doing in their own configuration files.

1.16 djm 765: <li><a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a>, <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8'>sshd(8)</a>: add a "global" ChannelTimeout type that watches
766: all open channels and will close all open channels if there is no
767: traffic on any of them for the specified interval. This is in
768: addition to the existing per-channel timeouts added recently.
769: <br>This supports situations like having both session and x11
770: forwarding channels open where one may be idle for an extended
771: period but the other is actively used. The global timeout could
772: close both channels when both have been idle for too long.

1137: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1138: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1139: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1140: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1141: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1142: with a command like:
1143: <blockquote><pre>
1144: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1145: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_5</kbd>
1146: </pre></blockquote>
1147: <p>
1148: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1149: server.]
1150: <p>
1151: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1152: ports for the 7.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
1153: <p>
1154: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1155: would like to know more, the mailing list
1156: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
