The following list sums up (almost) all the changes made up to March 24.
<p>
<ul>
<!-- ^ 2005/03/25 -->
<li>Adjust wording in a few APIWARNings.
<li>Pad hppa ramdisk to 64K, resolves issues with some ROMS.
<li>Fix APIWARNS on i386; ie. cope with moving to version 3 of
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gcc&sektion=1">gcc(1)</a>.
<li>Prepare for more RAID-like functionality in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ccd&sektion=4">ccd(4)</a>.
<li>In a few programs, do not assume that optopt is valid in non-error return cases from <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getopt&sektion=3">getopt(3)</a>.
<li>If the full memory window is not mappable in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pcic&sektion=4">pcic(4)</a> (because of lots of BIOS mappings) try to use smaller mappings.
<li>Use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getopt&sektion=3">getopt(3)</a> in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=htpasswd&sektion=1">htpasswd(1)</a>.
<li>Since scsi START_STOP is an optional command, do not require it to work. This may help some <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=umass&sektion=4">umass(4)</a> devices.
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vlan&sektion=4">vlan(4)</a> error counter repair.
<li>Change <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ahc&sektion=4">ahc(4)</a> to prefer memory mapped IO.
<li>Use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=microuptimet&sektion=9">microuptime(9)</a> in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sppp&sektion=4">sppp(4)</a>, because mono_time is no longer always there.
<li>If scsi disks are found to contain more than the maximum supported blocks, truncate known size.
<li>Support <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bcrypt&sektion=3">bcrypt(3)</a> passwords in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=htpasswd&sektion=1">htpasswd(1)</a>.
<li>Missing range check in vfs_hang_addrlist().
<li>Support another <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pcmcia&sektion=4">pcmcia(4)</a> <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ne&sektion=4">ne(4)</a> variant.

<li>Fix 32-bit mode in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cgfourteen&sektion=4&arch=sparc">cgfourteen(4)</a>.
<li>On SPARCbooks, cope if the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pninek&sektion=4&arch=sparc">pninek(4)</a> blitter does not wakeup.
<li>Power control changes for SPARCbooks.

<li>Packet counting fixes to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw&sektion=4">ipw(4)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=iwi&sektion=4">iwi(4)</a>, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral&sektion=4">ral(4)</a>, and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ural&sektion=4">ural(4)</a>.
<li>Print MAC address on startup in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ural&sektion=4">ural(4)</a>.
<li>Various improvements to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ospfd&sektion=8">ospfd(8)</a>, mostly catching up to shared <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bgpd&sektion=8">bgpd(8)</a> sections.
<li>Fix various bugs in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sppp&sektion=4">sppp(4)</a> that help the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=san&sektion=4">san(4)</a> T1 driver.
<li>Add <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ospfd&sektion=8">ospfd(8)</a> chunks to /etc/rc and /etc/rc.conf.
