Changes made between OpenBSD 6.6 and -current
- Provided proper concurrency control when pausing a vm in vmd(8).
- Fixed isakmpd(8) IKE pcap file creation.
- Fixed empty response packages sent out by ripd(8) when entries are skipped due to split-horizon simple.
- Swapped smtpd(8) filter response protocol fields to match query protocol. Filters used will need updating.
- Re-enabled "syscall call-from" checking.
- Modified -z mode verification in signify(1) to save the header and output it, so signify -zV >saved.tgz will keep the signature for later checks.
- Reduced the maximum number of frame buffers for uvideo(4) to allow running higher resolutions without running out of kernel memory.
- Removed kernel VM86 support.
- Added a check when IP forwarding is disabled to ensure packet destination address matches interface address.
- Reset the login class each time through the loop when using -L (loop) mode with su(1). Fixes CVE-2019-19519.
- Retired piixpcib(4).
- Stopped hardcoding the cache directory for rpki-client(8). Cache and output directory will use defaults for root users and must be specified by non-root users.
- Enabled full use of jumbo frames on bnx(4) devices.
- Added DEBUG_PKG_CACHE functionality to pkg_add(1), fetching debug patches when packages are installed.
- Fixed xenodm(1) to use the libc authentication layer correctly.
- Fixed insufficient username validation performed by libc's authentication privilege separation layer and added additional validation points, further validating in login(1) and su(1).
- Fixed a panic when tearing down vms with vmm(4).
- Prevented a radiusd(8) crash when user does not exist.
- Prevented escalation to the auth group in xlock(1) through path-related environment variables and disabled mesa and opengl functionality.
- Added display of mode sense data to scsi(8) debug.
- Added pwmfan(4), a driver for PWM-regulated fans.
- Added rkpwm(4), a driver for the RK3399's PWM controller.
- Added support for the RK3399's PWM clock to rkclock(4).
- Added tcpdump(8) support for printing RFC 8300 Network Service Header (NSH).
- Added tcpdump(8) support for VXLAN-GPE.
- Rewrote dhcpv6 parsing in tcpdump(8) to match the rfc, correctly handling dhcpv6 messages.
- Assumed grep(1) -R passed with "." rather than printing a warning by default.
- Reverted switch to tickless backend.
- Allowed forcing specific domains to be resolved by specific resolvers in unwind.conf(5), handling typical split-horizon setups.
- Simplified sysupgrade(8) directory check and creation (/home/_syspatch). It can now be a symlink.
- Accepted netmask for IPv6 properly in ifconfig(8).
- Added a create-vdisk command to ldomctl(8) analogous to amd64's vmctl(8) create.
- Added uvm_objfree to uvm to efficiently free all pages from a uvm object, used in the buffer cache for considerable speedup when freeing pages.
- Added rkemmcphy(4), a driver for the RK3399's eMMC PHY.
- Added support for the RK3399's eMMC clock to rkclock(4).
- Introduced msyscall(2), permitting system calls from selected code regions only: the main program, ld.so(1), libc.so and sigtramp. This is intended to harden against a mixture of W^X failures and JIT bugs allowing syscall misinterpretation.
- Modified root's crontab(1) to run rpki-client(8) and reload bgpd(8) configuration, enabling RPKI ROA filtering.
- Modified buffer cache to use individual uvm_objs per buffer to speed page lookups.
- Decayed the unwind(8) resolver histogram data over time to reflect strategy performance.

- Implemented a hexdump command in the bootloader, helping to inspect the memory layout created by the firmware and useful for UEFI debugging.
- Added list-io command to ldomctl(8), listing the available PCIe devices to be used with the iodevice parameter in ldom.conf(5).
- Measured performance of resolving strategies in unwind(8), sorting them and choosing the next best strategy when one fails.
- Removed captive portal detection from unwind(8).
- Reinstated support for monitor mode and multiple frames in iwm(4).
- Updated GLU to 9.0.1.
- Updated libdrm to 2.4.100.
- Added support for TLS 1.3 post handshake handshake messages and key updates to LibreSSL.

- Stored smtp(1) session usernames in an envelope, allowing the ruleset to match specific users or mailing addresses.
- Added "no-touch-required" options to ssh-keygen(1) and sshd(8) to disable touch requirement for authorized_keys and certificates.
- Added an sshd_config(5) PubkeyAuthOptions directive allowing specification of whether sshd(8) should check whether user presence was tested before a security key was made.
- Withdrew all proposals on slaacd(8) startup to prevent indefinite retention of nameservers on interfaces no longer flagged for autoconf.
- Prevented a timeout in ssh(1) when the server doesn't immediately send a banner, such as with multiplexers like sslh.
- Allowed rc.d(8) script to reload sndiod(8).
- Added tracking of which interfaces have learned nameservers to unwind(8).

- Added sxipwm(4) and pwmbl(4), drivers which jointly add support for the backlight controller on the Pinebook.
- On newer ThinkPads reporting HKEY version > 1, allowed acpivout(4) to claim backlight controls rather than wscons(4), allowing use of the fine-grained backlight BCL steps defined in acpi(4).
- Changed acpivout(4) to increment and decrement screen brightness based only on brightness level changes of 5% or higher.
- Prevented an infinite loop when aborting ulpt(4)'s pipe after an I/O error.
- Implemented the "parallel boot" feature on compatible sparc64 firmware.

- Used unveil(2) to reduce filesystem access in vmstat(8), iostat(8) and systat(1).
- Changed httpd(8) to send a 408 response when a timeout happens while headers are being received, but close the connection if no request is received.
- Added an azalia(4) quirk for the ALC285 on the X1C7 to avoid a clicking noise on the headphone output.
- Moved to 6.6-current.
