+ <li>Have <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&amp;sektion=4">pf(4)</a> block unconditionally when the input queue congestion flag is set, instead of doing CPU-intensive rule tests.
+ <li>If an interface input queue becomes full, set a new congestion flag in the queue structure. Since a full queue usually indicates processing overload, this flag can be used to allow other subsystems to cooperate in easing the situation.
+ <!-- ^ 20040417 -->
+ <li>Make <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=netstat&amp;sektion=1">netstat(1)</a> show the number of mbuf clusters in use rather than the number of pages.

+ <li>Now that <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhcpd&amp;sektion=8">dhcpd(8)</a> doesn't need to continuously reopen the leases file for writing, have it <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=chroot&amp;sektion=2">chroot(2)</a> to /var/empty and drop privileges after starting up.

+ <li>Stop another instance of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslogd&amp;sektion=8">syslogd(8)</a> from unlinking a socket that's in use.
+ <li>TCP packets are now allowed to have IPv4 options.
+ <li>Begin work of separating binary emulation type from the executable file format.
+ <!-- ^ 20040415 -->
+ <li>New user and group _mopd, for some obscure reason related to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mopd&amp;sektion=8">mopd(8)</a>.
