+ The following list sums up (almost) all the changes made up to December 20.
  <p>
  <ul>
+ <li>Remove the recursive format string option '%' from kernel <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=printf&amp;sektion=9">printf(9)</a>.
+ <li>Change in*_pcbnotify() to return the number of matches.
+ <li>Check for multicasts earlier when processing TCP input, to reduce the amount of redundant processing.
+ <!-- ^ 20031221 -->
+ <li>For <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=semop&amp;sektion=2">semop(2)</a> calls with a small number of operations, use the stack instead of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=malloc&amp;sektion=9">malloc(9)</a>'d memory to reduce overhead. Adapted from FreeBSD.
+ <li>Fix some unbounded <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sscanf&amp;sektion=3">sscanf(3)</a>s in the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=usbhid&amp;sektion=3">usbhid(3)</a> library.
+ <li>On i386, add a driver for the Pentium 4's thermal control circuit.

+ <li>When updating process stats, check for non-monotonically-increasing time from <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=microtime&amp;sektion=9">microtime(9)</a>, deal with it by doing nothing instead of zeroing the counter, and complain #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC.
+ <!-- ^ 20031219 -->

+ <li>New <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl&amp;sektion=3">sysctl(3)</a> variables hw.cpuspeed and hw.setperf on i386, used to control LongRun.
+ <li>Only modulate the TCP timestamp (<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&amp;sektion=4">pf(4)</a> scrub reassemble tcp) if there's a valid timestamp to be modulated.
+ <li>Allow ARP replies containing Ethernet multicast addresses, since some HA products want to do this.

+ <li>Change <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&amp;sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a> multicast group to 224.0.0.240, and IP protocol (pfsync in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=protocols&amp;sektion=5">protocols(5)</a>) to 240.
+ <li>New pseudo-user _bgpd with matching group.
+ <li>Begin spanning tree operation when a <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bridge&amp;sektion=4">bridge(4)</a> interface comes up.

+ <li>When filtering on a <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bridge&amp;sektion=4">bridge(4)</a>, compare the destination in the filter with the destination address of the packet, not the source address.

+ <li>A round of boot floppy space-saving begins.
+ <!-- ^ 20031216 -->
+ <li>When calculating CPU time usage, check for a time-going-backwards bug in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=microtime&amp;sektion=9">microtime(9)</a> found on some dual-clock systems.
