<h3><font color="#0000e0">Changes made between OpenBSD 4.9 and -current</font></h3><p>
<p>
<ul>
<!-- 2011/03/13 -->
<li>Fixed handling of VIS_ALL in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vis&sektion=3&format=html">vis(3)</a>.
<li>Added Wake on LAN support for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=re&sektion=4&format=html">re(4)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vr&sektion=4&format=html">vr(4)</a>.
<li>Added 'wol' and '-wol' options to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ifconfig&sektion=8&format=html">ifconfig(8)</a> to enable and disable Wake on LAN on a system in standby or suspend mode.
<li>Updated xkbcomp to version 1.2.1.
<li>Synchronized ctype definitions for the UTF-8 locale to FreeBSD, fixing width of various zero-width characters.
<li>Replaced type daddr_t (64-bit disk address) by type daddr_32t (32-bit disk address) in all archs machine-dependent code (bios, boot...). The bootblocks only do 32-bit block spanning for now.
<!-- 2011/03/12 -->
<li>Removed <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=groff&sektion=1&format=html">groff(1)</a> from base.
<li>Make sparc and sparc64 libc division and remainder use a better fitted register.
<li>Prevent a race in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sosplice&sektion=9&format=html">sosplice(9)</a>.
<li>Fixed <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=relayd&sektion=8&format=html">relayd(8)</a> client timeout.
<li>Make ext2fs utilities use type daddr32_t because they can only operate with a 32-bit block number range for now.
<li>Updated xkeyboard-config to version 2.1.
<li>Replace the old, broken KERN_PROC ABI and its matching functions in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=kvm&sektion=3&format=html">kvm(3)</a> with the stable-ABI versions that are currently named KERN_PROC2, kvm_get{proc,argv,envv}2().
<li>In i386 machine-dependent parts, provide distinct segments for the %fs and %gs selectors to use by default, with per-rthread base offsets and with sysarch() functions, I386_{GET,SET}_{FS,GS}BASE, for fetching and setting those base offsets. This is necessary for both rthread and Linux compat support.
<li>Fixed a bug that caused nbr addr_tree corruption in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ldpd&sektion=8&format=html">ldpd(8)</a>.
<li>Make <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ldpd&sektion=8&format=html">ldpd(8)</a> log the fact that a session was not accepted because of missing HELLOs.
<!-- 2011/03/11 -->
<li>Clean <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bios&sektion=4&arch=i386&format=html">bios(4/i386)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bios&sektion=4&arch=amd64&format=html">bios(4/amd64)</a> stack garbage before passing buffer to biosd_io().
<li>Added <tt>-z <output_zone></tt> to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=date&sektion=1&format=html">date(1)</a> for changing the specified time zone.
<li>Make sure extra arguments are not passed to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=date&sektion=1&format=html">date(1)</a>.
<li>Prevent <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=which&sektion=1&format=html">which(1)</a> -a option from changing the exit status.
<!-- 2011/03/10 -->
<li>Added support to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=admtemp&sektion=4&format=html">admtemp(4)</a> for detecting the NXP SA56004X.
<li>Implemented options --print-provides, --print-requires and --print-requires-private in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pkg-config&sektion=1&format=html">pkg-config(1)</a>.

<li>Allow <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1&format=html">ssh(1)</a> GSSAPI authentication to detect when a server-side failure causes authentication failure and don't count such failures against MaxAuthTries. Fixes bz#1244.
<!-- 2011/03/09 -->
<li>Make IPv6 stack log MAC address changes in the IPv6 neighbour discovery protocol cache as "ndp info overwritten". Makes the behaviour similar to ARP.

<li>Moved <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rc.subr&sektion=8&format=html">rc.subr(8)</a> redirections into the rc_cmd itself instead of rc_start and rc_stop so scripts don't need to set it.
<li>Implemented UDP mode for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tcpbench&sektion=1&format=html">tcpbench(1)</a> and switch it to use libevent.
<li>Print <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=em&sektion=4&format=html">em(4)</a> debugging info via <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ifconfig&sektion=8&format=html">ifconfig(8)</a> debug command instead of using a global em_display_debug_stats variable.
<li>Make <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ksh&sektion=1&format=html">ksh(1)</a> substitute '~' for $HOME in the \W prompt case. Matches bash behaviour.
<li>Prevent <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rc.subr&sektion=8&format=html">rc.subr(8)</a> from losing rc_{pre,post} when <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rc.d&sektion=8&format=html">rc.d(8)</a> override rc_{start,stop}.
<li>Fixed truncation of IPv6 addresses in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=smtpd&sektion=8&format=html">smtpd(8)</a> mail delivery path.
<!-- 2011/03/08 -->

<li>Fixed extended partition searching in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=biosboot&sektion=8&arch=i386&format=html">biosboot(8/i386)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=biosboot&sektion=8&arch=amd64&format=html">biosboot(8/amd64)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cdboot&sektion=8&arch=i386&format=html">cdboot(8/i386)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cdboot&sektion=8&arch=amd64&format=html">cdboot(8/amd64)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=installboot&sektion=8&arch=i386&format=html">installboot(8/i386)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=installboot&sektion=8&arch=amd64&format=html">installboot(8/amd64)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pxeboot&sektion=8&arch=i386&format=html">pxeboot(8/i386)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pxeboot&sektion=8&arch=amd64&format=html">pxeboot(8/amd64)</a>.
