<li>The <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mfi&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=4&format=html">mfi(4)</a> driver now supports skinny chip variants; tested with LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 9240-4i.

<li><em>OpenBSD is cranked to version 5.1-beta!</em>

<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=smtpd&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&format=html">smtpd(8)</a>: improve DNS error reporting during hostname lookups, resulting in most of the latter being correctly reported as temporary failures; hostnames may now also be specified as IP addresses in the configuration file. Handling of purging changed completely - the daemon periodically clears the purge/ directory via a priviledge-separated child; at startup the fsqueue backend moves incoming/ into purge/ to discard aborted sessions. Furthermore code reorganization continues as a new envelope(_ascii) API abstraction is introduced.

<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=installboot&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&arch=sparc64&format=html">installboot(8/sparc64)</a> is teached about softraid volumes. This makes root on <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=softraid&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=4&format=html">softraid(4)</a> possible, although the kernel still needs to be loaded from a non-softraid partition.

<li>In the kernel, if the DUID of the boot disk has not been provided, attempt to locate it via the boot device. This will allow root on softraid to work on most architectures.

<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=boot&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=8&arch=amd64&format=html">boot(8/amd64)</a> is teached how to access <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=softraid&manpath=OpenBSD%20Current&sektion=4&format=html">softraid(4)</a> volumes, which allows a kernel to be loaded from a softraid RAID 1 volume. Furthermore it is sufficient to only boot from a disk that is a member of a bootable softraid volume, as this case will be detected and the boot will automatically be redirected to <kbd>sr[0-9]a:/bsd</kbd>.
