! 63: <li>Have <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a> block unconditionally when the input queue congestion flag is set, instead of doing CPU-intensive rule tests.
! 64: <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.
! 65: <!-- ^ 20040417 -->
! 66: <li>Make <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=netstat&sektion=1">netstat(1)</a> show the number of mbuf clusters in use rather than the number of pages.

! 73: <li>Now that <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhcpd&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&sektion=2">chroot(2)</a> to /var/empty and drop privileges after starting up.
! 74: <li>Only open the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhcpd&sektion=8">dhcpd(8)</a> leases file once instead of every time it needs to be written.

! 77: <li>Massive <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=style&sektion=9">style(9)</a> application to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=isakmpd&sektion=8">isakmpd(8)</a>.
! 78: <li>Stop another instance of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=syslogd&sektion=8">syslogd(8)</a> from unlinking a socket that's in use.
! 79: <li>TCP packets are now allowed to have IPv4 options.
! 80: <li>Begin work of separating binary emulation type from the executable file format.
! 81: <!-- ^ 20040415 -->
! 82: <li>New user and group _mopd, for some obscure reason related to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mopd&sektion=8">mopd(8)</a>.

! 90: <li>Match on all characters of the interface name in the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfctl&sektion=8">pfctl(8)</a> parser.
! 91: <li>Make sure privsep <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tcpdump&sektion=8">tcpdump(8)</a> transitions into STATE_RUN even when writing to stdout with '-w -'.
! 92: <li>Implement AI_NUMERICSERV (from RFC3493) in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getaddrinfo&sektion=3">getaddrinfo(3)</a>.

! 100: </ul>
! 101: <!-- ^ 20040414 -->
! 102: <li>Break out <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhcpd&sektion=8">dhcpd(8)</a> into usr.sbin/dhcpd and begin The Process.
! 103: <li>Have <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=lpd&sektion=8">lpd(8)</a> treat 'o' format files (PostScript) from MacOS 10.1 the same as 'l', not 'f', since PostScript can contain binary data. From FreeBSD.
! 104: <li>Parse and handle RFC 2858 Multiprotocol Extensions in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bgpd&sektion=8">bgpd(8)</a>.

1.918 deraadt 134: <!-- ^ 20040410 -->
135: <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.
136: <li>Sync <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=uudecode&sektion=1">uudecode(1)</a> with FreeBSD, including base64 support.
137: <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.
138: <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.
139: <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.
1.919 deraadt 140: <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 with the uid or gid from the existing file.
1.918 deraadt 141: <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.
142: <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.
143: <!-- ^ 20040409 -->
144: <li>More <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gcc&sektion=1">gcc(1)</a> optimiser fixes for mvme88k

146: <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.
147: <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.
148: <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.
149: <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.
150: <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.
151: <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.
152: <!-- ^ 20040408 -->
153: <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.
154: <li>Merge in Perl 5.8.3 and <!-- 20040408 --> OpenSSL 0.9.7d. No lame new licenses for a change.
155: <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>.
156: <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.
157: <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.
158: <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.
159: <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.
160: <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.
161: <li>ISO C function declarations for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=make&sektion=1">make(1)</a>.
162: <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.
163: <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.
164: <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.
165: <!-- ^ 20040407 -->
166: <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.
167: <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 -->
168: <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>.
169: <li>Fix some <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gcc&sektion=1">gcc(1)</a> optimisation bugs on mvme88k.
170: <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.
171: <li>Have <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tcpdump&sektion=8">tcpdump(8)</a> print IKE DELETE payload contents.
172: <li>Remove the installer's special-case upgrade of the OpenSSL /usr/include symlinks.
173: <li>Fix a double-free in libpthread (PR#3730).
174: <li>Reenable libm compiler optimisation on sparc64, since it works properly with gcc3.
175: <!-- ^ 20040406 -->
176: <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>.
177: <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>.

229: <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).
