   <!-- 2012/04/08 -->
   <li>On the sgi platform R4600 CPU (IP22/IP24) support is now by default enabled in the GENERIC-IP22 kernel configuration (the secondary cache is not supported yet).
   <li>Fix of DMA for ethernet operations of the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sq&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=4&arch=sgi&format=html">sq(4/sgi)</a> driver of Indigo2 and R5000SC machines.
   <li>Minimal threads support for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdb&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">gdb(1)</a> is enabled on the powerpc platform.
   <li>The lint(1) program is removed from OpenBSD base.
   <li>In Xenocara xtrans is updated to version 1.2.7, libXaw to 1.0.10, xf86-input-joystick to 1.6.1 and xf86-video-r128 to 6.8.2.

   <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=snmpd&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">snmpd(8)</a> introduces a short-period sleep <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=event&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=3&format=html">event(3)</a> to handle out-of-file-descriptor situations.
   <!-- 2012/04/07 -->
   <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tcpbench&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">tcpbench(1)</a> introduces a short-period sleep <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=event&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=3&format=html">event(3)</a> to handle out-of-file-descriptor situations.
   <li>The Route Distinguishers of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bgpd&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">bgpd(8)</a> will no longer be used to control distribution; also see <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bgpd.conf&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=5&format=html">bgpd.conf(5)</a>.
   <li>No longer try FAT detection if we have found an OpenBSD MBR partition, no longer try to read one from a "bare" one. Recognize FAT even if no valid <code>0x55AA</code> signature has been found. Don't allow the writing of a disklabel on "bare" FAT media.
   <li>In the kernels network stack the rtable <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=setsockopt&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=2&format=html">setsockopt(2)</a> code is brought in line with the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=setrtable&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=2&format=html">setrtable(2)</a> implementation.
   <li>In Xenocara <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=setxkbmap&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">setxkbmap(1)</a> is updated to version 1.3.0, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xauth&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">xauth(1)</a> to 1.0.7, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xfontsel&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">xfontsel(1)</a> to 1.0.4, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xgamma&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">xgamma(1)</a> to 1.0.5, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xhost&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">xhost(1)</a> to 1.0.5, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xload&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">xload(1)</a> to 1.1.1, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xlogo&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">xlogo(1)</a> to 1.0.4, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xlsatoms&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">xlsatoms(1)</a> to 1.1.1, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xmodmap&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">xmodmap(1)</a> to 1.0.6, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xpr&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">xpr(1)</a> to 1.0.4, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xwud&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">xwud(1)</a> to 1.0.4 and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xkbevd&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">xkbevd(1)</a> to 1.1.3.
   <li>Minimal threads support for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdb&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">gdb(1)</a> is added to the sparc64 platform.
   <!-- 2012/04/06 -->
   <li>Additional datatype overflow checks are added to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getusershell&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=3&format=html">getusershell(3)</a>.
   <li>Work is being done to enable threads support for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdb&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">gdb(1)</a>.
   <li>The serial console is repaired on Octane and O2 systems (sgi port). More low-level kernel tweaking on sgi, including lots of cache coherency work.
   <li>The raidctl(8) utility and the raid(4) RAIDframe driver are removed from the system and go to the attic. OpenBSD has it's own <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=softraid&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=4&format=html">softraid(4)</a>.
   <li>Cross compilation of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=nginx&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">nginx(8)</a> is disabled, as it doesn't work.
   <li><font color="#e00000">For reliability of the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">systrace(1)</a> utility a minor argument-offset fix is backported from -current to the <code>OPENBSD_5_1</code> patch branch.</font>
   <li>The <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getrusage&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=2&format=html">getrusage(2)</a> systemcall fixes the report of total time again.
   <!-- 2012/04/05 -->
   <li>On the sgi platform low-level kernel tweaking results in compatibility improvements with IRIX timekeeping.
   <li>The <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=iked&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">iked(8)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ftp-proxy&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">ftp-proxy(8)</a> daemons introduce short-period sleep <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=event&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=3&format=html">event(3)</a>s to handle out-of-file-descriptor situations.
   <li>The MS-DOS FAT filesystem implementation gains a significant write speedup for large files (up to twice as fast).
   <!-- 2012/04/04 -->
   <li>In Xenocara's libpciaccess, memory handling of <code>struct pci_io_handle</code> is simplified. This fixes vgaHWSaveFonts() in the 1.12 xserver on OpenBSD (other sub-systems relaying on pci_io could be affected, too).
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ospfd&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">ospfd(8)</a> the two LSA types <code>LSA_TYPE_AREA_OPAQ</code> and <code>LSA_TYPE_AS_OPAQ</code> will no longer trigger a fatal program exit when found during SPF calculation.
   <li>The kernel ensures that on amd64 identifycpu() is called once only, which fixes occasional hangs on resume.
   <li>The old socket credential approach using <code>struct sockcred</code> and <code>SCM_CREDS</code> is outdated and removed from the tree.
   <li>Several privilege-separated daemons (<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ftpd&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">ftpd(8)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pflogd&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">pflogd(8)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslogd&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">syslogd(8)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tcpdump&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">tcpdump(8)</a> and the X server) will bail out earlier if some file-descriptor passing <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=recvmsg&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=2&format=html">recvmsg(2)</a> fails.
   <li>The <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ps&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">ps(1)</a> program gains the <code>tid</code> formatting keyword. In conjunction with the <code>-H</code> option, thread ID is now included.
   <li>Small fixes of the path-handling of the OpenBSD-specific <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=chroot&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=2&format=html">chroot(2)</a> codebase of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=nginx&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">nginx(8)</a> are seen. In the nginx build, compiler optimization flags will now be inherited from the build.
   <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fdisk&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">fdisk(8)</a> is now capable of handling pathological geometry cases like SCSI attached floppies which have a "geometry" of 1/1/2888.
   <li>More IATA airport codes added to <code>share/misc/airport</code>.
   <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sndiod&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">sndiod(1)</a> will first check if limits allow creation of a new device and then bail out if allocating memory for it fails, not vice versa.
   <li>In the PIPEX (PPPAC IP Extension) code of the network stack a bug was fixed that caused LCP keepalive failures on some clients.
   <!-- 2012/04/03 -->
   <li>The <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fxp&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=4&format=html">fxp(4)</a> driver will reload the firmware after suspend/resume, but skip firmware updates entirely for <code>FXP_REV_82550_C</code> with server extensions since this version can't handle such efforts.
   <li>On the sgi platform the <code>eisa0</code> attachment is now by default enabled in the GENERIC-IP22 and RAMDISK-IP22 kernel configuration files.
   <li>On the sgi platform the DMA-reachable address space is extended, now limited only when <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hpc&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=4&arch=sgi&format=html">hpc(4/sgi)</a> devices are present.
   <li>A long-standing bug in the kernels assumption on USB keyboard layouts is fixed.
   <li>Progress in integrating unbound(8) into base is seen, like calling <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=setusercontext&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=3&format=html">setusercontext(3)</a> before <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=chroot&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=2&format=html">chroot(2)</a>ing.
   <li>Kernel compilation with pf but without the pfsync pseudo-device is again possible.
   <li>Optimization for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=icmp6&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=4&format=html">icmp6(4)</a>: rejections of redirections will occur faster since the is-multicast check is performed before other expensive checks.
   <!-- 2012/04/02 -->
   <li>The sgi platform gains an EISA bus attachment glue for Indigo 2 systems.
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sasyncd&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">sasyncd(8)</a> the code flow in the error path is significantly simplified. Fixes possible memory leaks.
   <li>The zoneinfo database is updated to tzdata2012c (no code updates).
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gcc&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">gcc(1)</a>, correct the effects of the <code>-fident</code> and <code>-fno-ident</code> options, which were inverted.
   <li>In chrooted operation mode, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=nginx&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">nginx(8)</a> fixes its root path by stripping the <code>PREFIX</code>.
 <!-- 2012/04/01 -->  <!-- 2012/04/01 -->
 <li>Simplified <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tmux&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">tmux(1)</a> mouse input function.  <li>Simplified <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tmux&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=1&format=html">tmux(1)</a> mouse input function.
 <li>Updated libexpat to 2.1.0, and use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=arc4random&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=3&format=html">arc4random(3)</a> instead of rand/srand in generate_hash_secret_salt().  <li>Updated libexpat to 2.1.0, and use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=arc4random&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=3&format=html">arc4random(3)</a> instead of rand/srand in generate_hash_secret_salt().
