1.918 ! deraadt 61: <!-- ^ 20040410 -->
! 62: <li>When libpthread is <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=poll&sektion=2">poll(2)</a>ing for read- or writability of an fd on behalf of a thread, check the ERR, HUP and NVAL flags as well as the read or write flags.
! 63: <li>Sync <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=uudecode&sektion=1">uudecode(1)</a> with FreeBSD, including base64 support.
! 64: <li>Stop a number of network interfaces moaning about a failed <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mbuf&sektion=9">mbuf(9)</a> allocations, the complaint uses mbufs and just makes things worse.
! 65: <li>Pass SIGINT and SIGQUIT through to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslogd&sektion=8">syslogd(8)</a>'s privsep child.
! 66: <li>Move the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a> altq, OS fingerprint and table <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pool&sektion=9">pool(9)</a>s from the default (interrupt context) kmem allocator to the much-larger nointr allocator.
! 67: <li>If <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=newsyslog.conf&sektion=5">newsyslog.conf(5)</a> doesn't list a user or group, create new files the uid or gid from the existing file.
! 68: <li>Force <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1">cvs(1)</a> to use the libc <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getopt&sektion=3">getopt(3)</a> implementation instead of its own.
! 69: <li>Have <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfctl&sektion=8">pfctl(8)</a> check that the file it's trying to open isn't really a directory.
! 70: <!-- ^ 20040409 -->
! 71: <li>More <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gcc&sektion=1">gcc(1)</a> optimiser fixes for mvme88k
! 72: <li>Swap the last two parameters to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE&sektion=3">TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE(3)</a> in line with FreeBSD and NetBSD.
! 73: <li>Use a more efficient <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=realloc&sektion=3">realloc(3)</a> size when displaying long lines in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=less&sektion=1">less(1)</a>. Speeds things up when, for example, your system crashes in the middle of a build leaving a pile of linefeedless binary crap in the typescript file.
! 74: <li>After going to the trouble of saving errno before it gets overwritten, use the saved value in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pflogd&sektion=8">pflogd(8)</a>'s error output.
! 75: <li>Don't try to close invalid file descriptors in the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tcpdump&sektion=8">tcpdump(8)</a> privsep code.
! 76: <li>Have <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=isakmpd&sektion=8">isakmpd(8)</a> set the timezone before privsep so the child has the right zone settings.
! 77: <li>Within <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a>'s new lease file naming scheme, allow for the -l filename override.
! 78: <li>On sparc and sparc64, don't compare a RAMDISK kernel's root filesystem time with the system time, they're unlikely to have much in common.
! 79: <!-- ^ 20040408 -->
! 80: <li>Zero out the key data pointer for unknown <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=isakmpd&sektion=8">isakmpd(8)</a> key types.
! 81: <li>Merge in Perl 5.8.3 and <!-- 20040408 --> OpenSSL 0.9.7d. No lame new licenses for a change.
! 82: <li>Now that <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a> needs an instance per interface, having a single lease file won't do so use /var/db/dhclient.leases.<ifname>.
! 83: <li>Make sure the list dereference when deleting all SAs in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=isakmpd&sektion=8">isakmpd(8)</a> comes before the delete operation that <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=free&sektion=3">free(3)</a>s the list node.
! 84: <li>Fix /etc/<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rc.local&sektion=8">rc.local(8)</a>'s handling of ntpd_flags.
! 85: <li>Unbreak pxeboot(<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pxeboot&sektion=8&arch=i386">8/i386</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pxeboot&sektion=8&arch=amd64">8/amd64</a>) build under gcc3.
! 86: <li>Allow <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a> to work on more than the first physical interface found.
! 87: <li>In several programs, fix <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getopt&sektion=3">getopt(3)</a> calls containing option letters for which there's no corresponding case handler.
! 88: <li>ISO C function declarations for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=make&sektion=1">make(1)</a>.
! 89: <li>Fix a sizeof(pointer) bug in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tcpdump&sektion=8">tcpdump(8)</a>'s IPv6 options parser.
! 90: <li>Fix some misplaced braces in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=route&sektion=8">route(8)</a>, making 'route add' a bit more -q.
! 91: <li>Enable /dev/<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=crypto&sektion=4">crypto(4)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hifn&sektion=4">hifn(4)</a> on cats machines.
! 92: <!-- ^ 20040407 -->
! 93: <li>Make <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=newsyslog&sektion=8">newsyslog(8)</a>'s file renaming and copying operations set the same permissions in all cases.
! 94: <li>Fix double call of the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ktrace&sektion=2">ktrace(2)</a> signal trap handler. <!-- XXX -->
! 95: <li>Add missing prototypes (in <pwd.h>) for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bcrypt&sektion=3">bcrypt(3)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=md5crypt&sektion=3">md5crypt(3)</a>.
! 96: <li>Fix some <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gcc&sektion=1">gcc(1)</a> optimisation bugs on mvme88k.
! 97: <li>Fix a sizeof(wrongthing) bug in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=afsd&sektion=8">afsd(8)</a> that was breaking 64-bit machines.
! 98: <li>Have <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tcpdump&sektion=8">tcpdump(8)</a> print IKE DELETE payload contents.
! 99: <li>Remove the installer's special-case upgrade of the OpenSSL /usr/include symlinks.
! 100: <li>Fix a double-free in libpthread (PR#3730).
! 101: <li>Reenable libm compiler optimisation on sparc64, since it works properly with gcc3.
! 102: <!-- ^ 20040406 -->
! 103: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sscanf&sektion=3">sscanf(3)</a> -> <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strtol&sektion=3">strtol(3)</a> in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=newsyslog&sektion=8">newsyslog(8)</a>.
! 104: <li>Don't initialise <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ncurses&sektion=3">ncurses(3)</a> until after options processing in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=backgammon&sektion=6">backgammon(6)</a>.
! 105: <li>Plug the new-and-improved <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient&sektion=8">dhclient(8)</a> into the standard build.
! 106: <li>Fix a sizeof(pointer) bugs in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=afsd&sektion=8">afsd(8)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sup&sektion=1">sup(1)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=visudo&sektion=8">visudo(8)</a>.
! 107: <li>Make <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>'s cache of m_tag_get() <!-- NOMAN --> results actually work.
! 108: <li>Check for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fdopen&sektion=3">fdopen(3)</a> failure in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vacation&sektion=1">vacation(1)</a>.
! 109: <li>3.5 -> 3.5-current.
! 110: <li>Change <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wskbd&sektion=4">wskbd(4)</a>'s AltGr key handling so shift-altgr-other has the same effect as altgr-shift-other.
! 111: <li>Never allow <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a> states propogated via <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a> to overwrite newer states held locally. If an overwrite is attempted, broadcast the newer version to the network to speed resynchronisation.
! 112: <li>Under Linux emulation, pass <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=madvise&sektion=2">madvise(2)</a> straight through to the native syscall.
! 113: <!-- ^ 20040405 -->
! 114: <li>On receipt of an in-window TCP SYN (Stevens vol.II p.964), return a 100pps rate-limited ACK instead of blindly RST'ing the connection.

! 116: <li>Don't abort <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xfs&sektion=1">xfs(1)</a> gracelessly when handling an unimplemented protocol request.
1.917 deraadt 117: <!-- ^ 20040404 -->
118: <li>Many manual page fixes.
119: <li>In a number of programs, don't close files that are known to be not open.
120: <li>Fix a missing initialisation in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tcpdump&sektion=8">tcpdump(8)</a>'s privsep code.
121: <li>Make <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd&sektion=8">spamd(8)</a>'s -v logging option do something useful.

127: <li>Change <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rfork&sektion=2">rfork(2)</a> so the RFMEM flag gives complete vmspace sharing including the stack, in line with other implementations.
128: <li>Add --line-buffered option to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=grep&sektion=1">grep(1)</a> etc.
129: <li>Remove some unbounded recursions in the libc regex engine, found with certain expressions containing backreferences.
130: <li>Fix <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ls&sektion=1">ls(1)</a>' column alignment when using the -h option.

136: <li>Change <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=netstat&sektion=1">netstat(1)</a>'s -p option so that, when used without -s, it shows a list of sockets for the given protocol.

152: <li>Use the new pfkeyv2 wildcard support in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bgpd&sektion=8">bgpd(8)</a> and remove the local address requirement for md5sig.
153: </ul>
154: <!-- ^ 20040331 -->
155: <li>Unbreak libc's regex engine compilation with -DREDEBUG.
156: <li>Change /etc/<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rc&sektion=8">rc(8)</a> so that a <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd&sektion=8">spamd(8)</a> banner (configured via $spamd_flags) may contain spaces (PR#3720).
