 <li>Install <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=apm&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">apm(4)</a> utilities on amd64 so that the hw.setperf sysctl for CPU speed can be conveniently manipulated through them.  <li>Change internal packet encapsulation of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tun&sektion=4">tun(4)</a>.
 <li>Fix amd64's <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=exp&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">exp(3)</a> implementation which was broken in certain cases by switching to the C version.  <li>Fix some "reload" bugs in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ifstated&sektion=8">ifstated(8)</a>.
 <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">pf(4)</a>, implement Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF) which optionally verifies that a packet is received on the interface that holds the route back to the packet's source address. This makes it an automatic ingress filter, but only when routing is fully symmetric.  <li>Make AMD PowerNow speed control stuff print nice dmesg lines.
 <li>Fix <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pkg_add&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">pkg_add(1)</a> to work with stdin input (pkg_add -).  <li>Fix a quirk of ^C in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vi&sektion=1">vi(1)</a>.

 <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mount&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">mount(8)</a>, add -s flag which skips a mount if the file system is already mounted, handy for MFS partitions.  <li>Some i386 laptops need more physmem segments (consequence of the kernel moving up by 1MB).
   <li>A few small fixes to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bgpd&sektion=8">bgpd(8)</a>.
   <li>If <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=poll&sektion=2">poll(2)</a> is interrupted, remember ot clear the pollfds array.
   <li>The zaurus no longer needs to use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xf86&sektion=4">xf86(4)</a> aperture.
   <li>Fix %A printing in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd&sektion=8">spamd(8)</a>.
   <li>Move parsing of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wsconctl.conf&sektion=5">wsconctl.conf(5)</a> to earlier in the /etc/rc sequence, so that people can use their remapped control key earlier.
   <li>Install <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=apm&sektion=4">apm(4)</a> utilities on amd64 so that the hw.setperf sysctl for CPU speed can be conveniently manipulated through them.
   <li>Fix <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=BN_is_prime&sektion=3">BN_is_prime(3)</a> to realize that 2 is prime.  It took the OpenSSL people what... 8 years to fix this?
   <li>Fix amd64's <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=exp&sektion=3">exp(3)</a> implementation which was broken in certain cases by switching to the C version.
   <li>Repair anonymous logins without passwords in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ftpd&sektion=8">ftpd(8)</a>.

   <li>On the i386, fix userldt handling (consequence of recent i386 W^X changes) which causes a crash if a LDT-using process does an execve().
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mount&sektion=8">mount(8)</a>, add -s flag which skips a mount if the file system is already mounted, handy for MFS partitions.
