1.1001 ! pvalchev 63: <!-- 2006/03/15 -->
! 64: <li>Install <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=apm&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">apm(4)</a> utilities on amd64 so that the hw.setperf sysctl for CPU speed can be conveniently manipulated through them.
! 65: <li>Fix amd64's <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=exp&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">exp(3)</a> implementation which was broken in certain cases by switching to the C version.
! 66: <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">pf(4)</a>, implement Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF) which optionally verifies that a packet is received on the interface that holds the route back to the packet's source address. This makes it an automatic ingress filter, but only when routing is fully symmetric.
! 67: <li>Fix <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pkg_add&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">pkg_add(1)</a> to work with stdin input (pkg_add -).
! 68: <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">ssh(1)</a>, set TCP_NODELAY flag for all connections not just interactive ones - fixes poor network performance and protocol stalls under some network conditions.
! 69: <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mount&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">mount(8)</a>, add -s flag which skips a mount if the file system is already mounted, handy for MFS partitions.
! 70: <li>Change the install script question 'Do you expect to run the X Window System?' to have 'no' as a default answer, to prevent people accidentially hitting return on the prompt on machines that don't need it.
! 71: <li>Foil potential <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_attack">timing attacks</a> in login by using <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bcrypt&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">bcrypt(3)</a> on non-existent users as well, instead of DES.
! 72: <li>Update AMD PowerNow K8 support on i386 and add it to amd64.
! 73: <li>Fix the long delay probe for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=adb&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=macppc&format=html">adb(4)</a> on the Mac Mini.
! 74: <li>Make <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pkg_add&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">pkg_add(1)</a> work with scp (see PKG_PATH).
! 75: <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">ssh(1)</a>, implement diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 key exchange method (which is now default when client/server support it).
! 76: <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipsecctl&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">ipsecctl(8)</a>, add dynamic option ("ike dynamic esp") which uses the system hostname as source identifier instead of the IP address, for dynamic setups. See <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipsec.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">ipsec.conf(5)</a>.
! 77: <li>OpenCVS development continues with new energy.
! 78: <li>Move remaining bits of the network stack to use splnet instead of splimp, see <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spl&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">spl(9)</a>.
! 79: <li>Initial 1-Wire <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=onewire&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">onewire(4)</a> bus support, including drivers for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gpioow&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">gpioow(4)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=owid&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">owid(4)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=owtemp&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">owtemp(4)</a>.
