+
+- 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).
+
- Fix of DMA for ethernet operations of the sq(4/sgi) driver of Indigo2 and R5000SC machines.
+
- Minimal threads support for gdb(1) is enabled on the powerpc platform.
+
- The lint(1) program is removed from OpenBSD base.
+
- 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.
+
- Updates to Xenocara: xcmiscproto to 1.2.2, xextproto to 7.2.1, scrnsaverproto to 1.2.2, recordproto to 1.14.2, fontsproto to 2.1.2, bigreqsproto to 1.1.2 and kbproto to 1.0.6. All extended with docbook.am automake files.
+
- tmux(1) will now honour it's
automatic-rename option.
+ - urtwn(4) can now recogize BELKIN F7D2102.
+
- snmpd(8) introduces a short-period sleep event(3) to handle out-of-file-descriptor situations.
+
+
- tcpbench(1) introduces a short-period sleep event(3) to handle out-of-file-descriptor situations.
+
- The Route Distinguishers of bgpd(8) will no longer be used to control distribution; also see bgpd.conf(5).
+
- 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
0x55AA signature has been found. Don't allow the writing of a disklabel on "bare" FAT media.
+ - In the kernels network stack the rtable setsockopt(2) code is brought in line with the setrtable(2) implementation.
+
- In Xenocara setxkbmap(1) is updated to version 1.3.0, xauth(1) to 1.0.7, xfontsel(1) to 1.0.4, xgamma(1) to 1.0.5, xhost(1) to 1.0.5, xload(1) to 1.1.1, xlogo(1) to 1.0.4, xlsatoms(1) to 1.1.1, xmodmap(1) to 1.0.6, xpr(1) to 1.0.4, xwud(1) to 1.0.4 and xkbevd(1) to 1.1.3.
+
- Minimal threads support for gdb(1) is added to the sparc64 platform.
+
+
- Additional datatype overflow checks are added to getusershell(3).
+
- Work is being done to enable threads support for gdb(1).
+
- 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.
+
- 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 softraid(4).
+
- Cross compilation of nginx(8) is disabled, as it doesn't work.
+
- For reliability of the systrace(1) utility a minor argument-offset fix is backported from -current to the
OPENBSD_5_1 patch branch.
+ - The getrusage(2) systemcall fixes the report of total time again.
+
+
- On the sgi platform low-level kernel tweaking results in compatibility improvements with IRIX timekeeping.
+
- The iked(8) and ftp-proxy(8) daemons introduce short-period sleep event(3)s to handle out-of-file-descriptor situations.
+
- The MS-DOS FAT filesystem implementation gains a significant write speedup for large files (up to twice as fast).
+
+
- In Xenocara's libpciaccess, memory handling of
struct pci_io_handle is simplified. This fixes vgaHWSaveFonts() in the 1.12 xserver on OpenBSD (other sub-systems relaying on pci_io could be affected, too).
+ - In ospfd(8) the two LSA types
LSA_TYPE_AREA_OPAQ and LSA_TYPE_AS_OPAQ will no longer trigger a fatal program exit when found during SPF calculation.
+ - The kernel ensures that on amd64 identifycpu() is called once only, which fixes occasional hangs on resume.
+
- The old socket credential approach using
struct sockcred and SCM_CREDS is outdated and removed from the tree.
+ - Several privilege-separated daemons (ftpd(8), pflogd(8), syslogd(8), tcpdump(8) and the X server) will bail out earlier if some file-descriptor passing recvmsg(2) fails.
+
- The ps(1) program gains the
tid formatting keyword. In conjunction with the -H option, thread ID is now included.
+ - Small fixes of the path-handling of the OpenBSD-specific chroot(2) codebase of nginx(8) are seen. In the nginx build, compiler optimization flags will now be inherited from the build.
+
- fdisk(8) is now capable of handling pathological geometry cases like SCSI attached floppies which have a "geometry" of 1/1/2888.
+
- More IATA airport codes added to
share/misc/airport.
+ - sndiod(1) will first check if limits allow creation of a new device and then bail out if allocating memory for it fails, not vice versa.
+
- In the PIPEX (PPPAC IP Extension) code of the network stack a bug was fixed that caused LCP keepalive failures on some clients.
+
+
- The fxp(4) driver will reload the firmware after suspend/resume, but skip firmware updates entirely for
FXP_REV_82550_C with server extensions since this version can't handle such efforts.
+ - On the sgi platform the
eisa0 attachment is now by default enabled in the GENERIC-IP22 and RAMDISK-IP22 kernel configuration files.
+ - On the sgi platform the DMA-reachable address space is extended, now limited only when hpc(4/sgi) devices are present.
+
- A long-standing bug in the kernels assumption on USB keyboard layouts is fixed.
+
- Progress in integrating unbound(8) into base is seen, like calling setusercontext(3) before chroot(2)ing.
+
- Kernel compilation with pf but without the pfsync pseudo-device is again possible.
+
- Optimization for icmp6(4): rejections of redirections will occur faster since the is-multicast check is performed before other expensive checks.
+
+
- The sgi platform gains an EISA bus attachment glue for Indigo 2 systems.
+
- In sasyncd(8) the code flow in the error path is significantly simplified. Fixes possible memory leaks.
+
- The zoneinfo database is updated to tzdata2012c (no code updates).
+
- In gcc(1), correct the effects of the
-fident and -fno-ident options, which were inverted.
+ - In chrooted operation mode, nginx(8) fixes its root path by stripping the
PREFIX.
- Simplified tmux(1) mouse input function.
- Updated libexpat to 2.1.0, and use arc4random(3) instead of rand/srand in generate_hash_secret_salt().
