<h3>Changes made between OpenBSD 7.0 and -current</h3>
<p>

<ul>
<!-- 2021/10/12 -->
<li>Reverted to use <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> firmware v17 on Intel AC 7265, fixing instability issues on X1 Carbon gen3.
<li>Cached the old BSSID when roaming with <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwx.4">iwx(4)</a>.
<li>Explicitly stopped <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwx.4">iwx(4)</a> Rx block ack when roaming between access points.
<!-- 2021/10/11 -->
<li>Added support for 802.11n 40MHz channels to the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> driver.
<li>Added monitoring of 20/40MHz channel width changes in beacons sent by our access point, notifying drivers when the channel width has changed.
<!-- 2021/10/10 -->
<li>Added support for 40MHz channels to net80211 RA.
<li>Fixed establishing legacy INTx interrupts on machines without a (usable) MSI interrupt controller.
<!-- 2021/10/09 -->
<li>Merged bugfixes from upstream into <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/less.1">less(1)</a> including fixes for the prompt hiding feature (CTRL-P) and an integer overflow.
<!-- 2021/10/08 -->
<!-- 2021/10/07 -->
<li>Cached the old BSSID when roaming with <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> so firmware commands can continue using it while roaming to a new AP.
<!-- 2021/10/06 -->
<li>Stopped <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pkg_add.1">pkg_add(1)</a> from communicating warnings starting with "XXX" which appeared to indicate errors.
<li>Ensured <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> uses only the HT (high throughput) frame format for data frames.
<li>Allowed AUTH->AUTH state transitions in the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> and <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwx.4">iwx(4)</a> drivers again, needed if the access point uses band-steering.
<li>Removed the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ifconfig.8">ifconfig(8)</a> autoconfprivacy deprecation warning.
<!-- 2021/10/05 -->
<li>Retired the Loongson platform.
<li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> performance drop after roaming between APs in 11n mode.
<!-- 2021/10/04 -->
<li>Applied a workaround in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mvkpcie.4">mvkpcie(4)</a> to fix an external abort under load with <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/athn.4">athn(4)</a>.
<!-- 2021/10/03 -->
<li>Added relicensed wireless firmwares from Realtek for <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rsu.4">rsu(4)</a>, <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rtwn.4">rtwn(4)</a> and <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/urtwn.4">urtwn(4)</a> devices, allowing these devices to work without requiring a separate firmware download.
<li>Added a workaround for buggy <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/athn.4">athn(4)</a> devices to prevent filling up the node cache when used in hostap mode.
<!-- 2021/10/02 -->
<li>Made redistributable firmwares available across all architectures.
<li>Fixed memory leak in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fuse.4">fuse(4)</a> when calling <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/namei.9">namei(9)</a>.
<li>Fixed a panic when <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwx.4">iwx(4)</a> cannot find firmware at boot time.
<!-- 2021/10/01 -->
<li>Released LibreSSL <a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-3.3.5-relnotes.txt">3.3.5</a> and <a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-3.2.7-relnotes.txt">3.2.7</a>.

<li>Deleted expired DST Root CA X3.
<li>Prevented <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> and <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwx.4">iwx(4)</a> attempts to transition toward the same state where this would result in a redundant or illegal state transition and a potential hang.
<!-- 2021/09/29 -->
<li>Removed the constraint that <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> -b specified block count or block size must be greater than 63.
<li>Added support to <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pchgpio.4">pchgpio(4)</a> for Cannon Lake H and Tiger Lake H platforms.
<!-- 2021/09/28 -->
<!-- 2021/09/27 -->
<li>Fixed a crash in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tmux.1">tmux(1)</a> when a session with multiple clients is destroyed but tmux does not close completely due to other sessions.
<!-- 2021/09/26 -->

<!-- 2021/09/24 -->
<li>Reset the Tx timer upon validation of a BA notification sent by <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwx.4">iwx(4)</a> and <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwm.4">iwm(4)</a> firmware.
