22: This is a partial list of the major machine independent changes
1.40 sobrado 23: (i.e., these are the changes people ask about most often). Machine
1.1 deraadt 24: specific changes have also been made, and are sometimes mentioned
1.40 sobrado 25: in the pages for the specific <a href=plat.html>platforms</a> if you
1.1 deraadt 26: are interested in further port-specific details. Many ports
27: have had architecture-specific enhancements relative to NetBSD,
28: but when they do not they certainly have plenty of platform-independent
29: changes, starting with those listed below..

87: <li><font color="#e00000"><strong>A security problem due to a buffer overflow exists in uucpd(8) (which is not enabled by default in our releases). <a href="errata22.html#uucpd">A patch exists</a></strong></font>.
1.1 deraadt 88: <li>On the i386, fix installboot(8) so it works reliably on various filesystem layouts that did not work before.

90: <li>Fix installboot(8) on the sparc Sun4 models.
91: <li>In disklabel(8)'s <strong>-E</strong> mode, set the bootblock sizes so that the hp300 install does not freak out.

102: <li>Repair the pkg_add(1) sufficiently for the 2.3 release...
103: <li>Fix a race condition in unmount(2).
104: <li>Add support for the XR16850 serial chip (128 byte fifos).
105: <li>mkisofs 1.11.2

107: <li>Fix backtraces in gdb on m68k platforms.
108: <li>Support 3c905B (well, actually, our support falls over. We need a card to do further work).
109: <li>Modify i386 PS/2 driver to be read/write; this permits new XFree86 source to put mice into advanced modes of operation.
110: <li>Remove KTH Kerberos "eavesdropping" message from telnet(1) and telnetd(8).
111: <li>Fix bug oflow in ping(8) <strong>-R</strong> option.

125: <li>In ftp(1), for HTTP requests pass the hostname so that virtual hosts work.
126: <li>In utimes(2) and futimes(2), handle <strong>tv_sec</strong> values of -1 more carefully, as they are really illegal cases.
127: <li>Import <strong>kx</strong> into our X11 source tree.
128: <li>Add a <strong>SIOCGIFDATA</strong> ifreq-style ioctl which will get the ifdata informational structure attached to each interface.

1.1 deraadt 133: <li>Emulate SunOS <strong>otimes(2)</strong> system call so that Netscape doesn't explode.
134: <li>Fix rarpd(8) interaction with routed(8); too much routing information would pile up un-read on the AF_ROUTE socket and rarpd(8) would get too grumpy.
135: <li>Remove libtelnet.so.* from the distribution. People compiling kerberos into their system were generating significantly different shared libraries; thus it is wrong to make this a shared library.
1.16 jsyn 136: <li>Make edquota(8) handle numeric names as uids only after checking that an account named so does not exist.
1.1 deraadt 137: <li>Add UID_MAX and GID_MAX to <machine/limits.h> on each architecture.

141: <li>Change <strong>SIOCGIFNETMASK</strong>, <strong>SIOCGIFDSTADDR</strong>, and <strong>SIOCGIFBRDADDR</strong> to return information for named/addressed mappings rather than simply named mappings, so that these calls can work on interface aliases.

143: <li>In mktemp(1), document why this should be used for temporary filename generation.
144: <li>In telnet(1), fix connecting to IP addresses; this was recently broken by the new KTH kerberos telnet integration.
145: <li>Make <strong>-R path</strong> work a well as <strong>-Rpath</strong> in cc(1).
146: <li>In the ksh(1) manpage, clarify the behaviour of the <strong>CDPATH</strong> variable.

150: <li>Make the functions described in ethers(3) more careful.
151: <li>Fix support for VFS loadable kernel modules.
152: <li>In get*ent() family of routines in libc, use fgetln(3) instead of fgets(3) so that parsing of overly long lines is more correct.
153: <li>Add options(4). This manpage describes what all the kernel options do. If you spot an error in it, notify us immediately.
154: <li>In strptime(3), make <strong>%C</strong> influence <strong>%y</strong> regardless of ordering.

1.9 wvdputte 157: <li>Merge Kirk McKusick's <a href="faq/faq14.html#14.5">soft update</a> code. This code is still experimental and under a non-commercial license. It will be included in the next release as an optional compile flag; we cannot ship it enabled by default.
1.1 deraadt 158: <li>Flesh out the man pages and explain the security problems behind mktemp(3) and other similar functions, plus explain how to handle these problems better.
159: <li>Fully working KerberosIV encryption in telnet(1) and telnetd(8).
160: <li>Fixes to a few more games.
161: <li>CVS version 1.9.26
162: <li>Fix mktemp(3) problems in two more YP tools.

171: <li>Add support for <strong>-s section</strong> and <strong>-S subsection</strong> to man(1).
172: <li>Change the configuration of man(1) so that man4 is read much later; this makes it easier to see pages in man8 with similar names.
173: <li>Fix KerberosIV password changing.
174: <li>On the sparc, support 128KB lebuffer devices.
175: <li>On the sparc, print hotfix information at the right place in the dmesg log.
176: <li>Fix passwd(1) so that YP passwords do not get edited in the local password file.
177: <li>Significant efforts made at fleshing out the device driver man page tree better.

183: <li>Add another missing ntohl() in ipnat(8).
184: <li>Use a p_os field to sub-divide operating system emulation capabilities (like for SVR4 binaries).
185: <li>Spend almost a week finding and fixing minor goobers discovered by gcc 2.8 throughout the source tree.
186: <li>Fix syslog(3) sockaddr initialization.
187: <li>Add support for <strong>TIOCM*</strong> family of ioctl(2) values to the sparc serial driver.
188: <li>New photurisd(8) that complies with <strong>draft-simpson-photuris-18.txt</strong>.
189: <li>Fix a race bug in mkstemp(3) itself that would make mkstemp(3) have occasionally fail strangely.
190: <li>Fix a few more mktemp(3) problems in f77 libraries, and other assorted GNU software.

197: <li>Handle unknown hostnames in mountd(8) better.
198: <li>Inside the kernel, change struct file's members f_count and f_msgcount to longs, and then add checking for overflows as well.
199: <li>Add XDM-AUTHORIZATION to X11.
200: <li>In old gas, move to late resolution of symbols because gcc 2.8 will require this.
201: <li>Fix a configuration file parsing bug in ipf(8).
202: <li>In libpcap and tcpdump, use our system ethers(5) parsing routines.

225: <li>Add kerberos kauthd(8).
1.15 pvalchev 226: <li>On the i386, move XFree86 aperture driver into the kernel. The new sysctl(8) variable <strong>machdep.allowaperture</strong> decides if this driver is active or not. (This variable can only be modified at high securelevel).
