+     <a href="stable.html"><font color=#00b000>[Applied to stable]</font></a>
+ <!-- ^^^ 20020810 -->
+ <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=raid&sektion=4">raid(4)</a> no longer gets loud at boot time unless option RAIDDEBUG is used.
+ <li>Sink a few bugs in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bs&sektion=6">bs(6)</a>.
+ <!-- ^^^ 20020809 -->
+ <li>Fix raw socket translation for Linux compatibility mode.

+ <li>Correct a sizeof bug in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=photurisd&sektion=8">photurisd(8)</a>.

+ <li>Fix a potential off-by-one in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ld.so&sektion=1">ld.so(1)</a> that could cause mmap breakage on some architectures.
+ <li>Make insertion of data into socket buffers run in constant time, a huge win especially with large buffers.
+ <li>Relax slightly the conditions under which a TCP SYN packet will trigger the sequence number modulator. Handy for systems with ECN stacks.

+ <li>Fix a free-in-caught-alloc-failure-block (!) in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ohci&sektion=4">ohci(4)</a>.
+ <li>Rewrite the CRL support in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=isakmpd&sektion=8">isakmpd(8)</a>. Check for OpenSSL >= 0.9.7, the earliest supported version for now.
+ <!-- ^^^ 20020807 -->
+ <li>Retrofit the new early privilege revocation code to the old X servers.
+ <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xlock&sektion=1">xlock(1)</a> defaults to blank mode (rather than random mode.) Also remove bomb mode altogether, to the annoyance of noone.

+ <!-- ^^^ 20020806 -->
+ <li>Move AGP chipset support out of machine-independent section (AGP support is per-arch.)
+ <li><strong><font color="#e00000">REVISED SECURITY FIX</font></strong> for the OpenSSL ASN.1 buffer overflows, see the <a href="errata.html#ssl">erratum</a>.<br>
+     <a href="stable.html"><font color=#00b000>[Applied to stable]</font></a>

+ <li>Refactor <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vmstat&sektion=8">vmstat(8)</a> slightly so <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=kvm&sektion=3">kvm(3)</a> is only ever opened once (it could be opened a second time by dkstats.c before.)
+ <li>Open the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=kvm&sektion=3">kvm(3)</a> library earlier in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fstat&sektion=1">fstat(1)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systat&sektion=1">systat(1)</a>, and so drop privs earlier.
+ <li>Test for a previously unchecked malloc() return value in the RPC library, and die unceremoniously on failure.

+ <!-- ^^^ 20020803 -->
+ <li>Remove Kerberos support from the default <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=login.conf&sektion=5">login.conf</a> (and its hardwired defaults for when login.conf is absent.) See <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/etc/login.conf?rev=1.12&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup">the log</a> for why.
+ <li>No more RPC by default. Expect a lot of 'NFS is broken' email to misc@ when 3.2 is released.
