  <ul>
+ <li>Unbreak <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a> nat random source port assignment. Now a rule has to actually ask for static-port in order to get it.

+ <li>Fix <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=nfsstat&sektion=1">nfsstat(1)</a>'s filesystem id lookup, and a minor buffer overrun.
