Changes made between OpenBSD 3.6 and OpenBSD 3.7
! The following list sums up (almost) all the changes made up to February 28.
-
+
+
- Shrink Zaurus kernel significantly by removing inlines. +
- Add radiotap, monitor, and promiscuous mode support for ral(4). +
- Make ral(4) do per-node rate adaptation. Paves the way for ibss support. +
- New perlpod(1)-style documentation for package-management APIs. + +
- Document timeout on untrusted x11 forwarding sessions in ssh_config(5). +
- Allow SGC frame buffers to be used as console on hp300. Also allow serial console mode to be forced by hardware switch on 425e models. +
- Support 'tagged' keyword in translation rules in pf(4) +
- Improve RTT calculation code in TCP packet handling. +
- Add shortest path calculation in ospfd(8). + +
- Fix sd(4) support for Hitachi DK23DA drives. +
- Improve RCS support in OpenCVS. +
- Make ftpd(8) privsep code quieter and more reliable in case of EINTR/EAGAIN. +
- Fix memory leaks in pfctl(8) parser. + +
- Support atheros ar5211 802.11A/B/g wireless chipset in ath(4). +
- Get rid of -P option for isakmpd(8), which was never useful. +
- Correct bus_dma usage in re(4) which fixes alpha. Enable re(4) on alpha now. +
- Support software WEP in rtw(4). +
- Support integrated s3 video components from via. + +
- Be precise in libc man pages when talking about nul ('\0') vs. NULL. +
- Import some fixes for atu(4) from NetBSD. +
- Support Zoltrix TV/FM in bktr(4). +
- Reliability fixes for ccd(4) mirroring. +
- Add new -N option for isakmpd(8) to select port for udpencap. Allows multiple NAT-T isakmpd instances on a single machine. +
- Continue auditing tree for snprintf(3) return value handling: apply(1) is now clean. You will thank us for it. + +
- Add regression tests for copystr(9) bounds-checking. +
- Fix a rare panic during init(8) seen under VMWare. (PR#4036) +
- Document the 'source-track' stateful tracking option in pf.conf(5). +
- Stop isakmpd(8) from responding to 0-length packets. Makes ISAKMP quieter to port scanners. + +
- Initial support for suspend/resume on zaurus. +
- Better error messages in isakmpd(8). +
- Enable hme(4) on sparc to take advantage of TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware. +
- Automatically blank screen on zaurus when hinge closes. Still need hysteresis to avoid rapid on/off cycles when bouncing. +
- More OpenCVS progress: privsep cvsd, handle noop, support -c and -s for checkout, send server stderr output to client. +
- Make ntpd(8) realize quickly when no network is available, so we wait less time when booting disconnected. +
- Call tzset(3) before chroot(2) in tftpd(8). +
- Reliability fix: rl(4) was improperly handling unaligned packets in IP input for architectures that care about alignment. + +
- Enable ral(4) in i386 by default. +
- Support more Intel 6300ESB SATA controllers. + +
- Enable memory-mapped I/O on ahc(4) SCSI controllers on macppc, resulting in more supported controllers and better performance. +
- Automatically enable SSH batch mode when in sftp(1) batch mode. +
- Make reboot from ddb(4) work properly on sgi. +
- Change CPU target on m68k to -m68020-60, which improves best-case performance without penalizing 68040 processors and below. + +
- Make df(1) deal better with large filesystems. +
- New tool getcap(1) for querying capabilities databases. +
- Double the default value of MAX_KMAPENT to 2000 (more uvm for heavily loaded systems). +
- New iwi(4) driver for Intel PRO/Wireless 2225BG wireless PCI adapters. + +
- Program the LEDs on rtw(4) devices based on activity (from NetBSD). +
- Create new man page for the mutex(9) set of functions. +
- Remove embedded compilation dates from amd(8), ppp(8), and perl(1) so that binaries don't change all the time. + +
- Support internal USB wireless adapters on PCChips A535 notebooks. +
- New, less restrictive license for the new ieee80211 framework and new ath(4) driver.
- Better error messages for getnameinfo failures in ssh(1).
- New USB driver for zaurus.
- Make ieee80211 framework do a best-match instead of perfect-match when finding a node for a beacon; from NetBSD.
