- OpenBSD 4.9 RELEASED -------------------------------------------------

May 1, 2011.

We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 4.9.
This is our 29th release on CD-ROM (and 30th via FTP).  We remain
proud of OpenBSD's record of more than ten years with only two remote
holes in the default install.

As in our previous releases, 4.9 provides significant improvements,
including new features, in nearly all areas of the system:

 - New/extended platforms:
    o OpenBSD/amd64 and OpenBSD/i386:
      - Enabled NTFS by default (read-only) on GENERIC kernels.
      - Enabled the vmt(4) driver by default for VMWare tools support
        as a guest.
      - SMP kernels can now boot on machines with up to 64 cores.
      - Maximum allocation size for i386 bumped to 2G.
      - Handle >16 disks when searching for kernel boot device.
      - Added support for AES-NI instructions found in recent Intel processors.
      - Further improvements in suspend and resume.
      - Processes are now switched to TSS per cpu on the amd64 platform,
        resulting in removal of the old limit of ~4000 processes.
    o OpenBSD/hppa:
      - Multiprocessor support.
    o OpenBSD/loongson and OpenBSD/sgi:
      - All MIPS64 based platforms now use MI softfloat code, which implements
        all MIPS IV specified floating point operations.
    o OpenBSD/sparc64:
      - The vdsp(4) driver now supports the vDisk 1.1 protocol, allowing
        Solaris to run on top of an OpenBSD control domain.

 - Improved hardware support, including:
    o New vte(4) driver for RDC R6040 10/100 Ethernet devices.
    o New rdcphy(4) driver for RDC Semiconductor R6040 10/100 Ethernet PHY.
    o New rsu(4) driver for Realtek RTL8188SU/RTL8191SU/RTL8192SU USB
      IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless devices.
    o New urtwn(4) driver for Realtek RTL8188CU/RTL8192CU USB IEEE
      802.11b/g/n wireless devices.
    o New utwitch(4) driver for YUREX USB twitch/jiggle of knee sensor.
    o Support for AR9271, AR9280+AR7010 and AR9287+AR7010 USB IEEE
      802.11a/g/n wireless adapters has been added to athn(4).
    o Support for 82583V has been added to em(4).
    o Support for Yukon 88E8059 has been added to msk(4).
    o Support for SiS191 has been added to se(4).
    o Support for SAS2004 has been added to mpii(4).
    o Support for NVIDIA MCP89 SATA has been added to pciide(4).
    o Support for Mobility Radeon HD 4200 has been added to radeondrm(4).
    o pms(4) support has been significantly reworked and expanded.
    o MCLGETI support has been added to xl(4).
    o Support for low latency interrupt modulation has been added to ix(4).
    o Port multiplier support has been added to ahci(4) and sili(4).
    o Support for Sun XVR-300 graphics has been added to radeonfb(4).
    o Added workaround for BCM5906 A0/1/2 controller silicon bug in bge(4).
    o ugen(4) can now be attached along with other drivers to
      multifunction devices.
    o umodem(4) now supports more devices.
    o umsm(4) now supports more mobile broadband devices.
    o Support for more image processing controls was added to uvideo(4).

 - Generic network stack improvements:
    o Reworking of the MCLGETI livelock algorithm to improve forwarding
      and host performance under high network load.
    o Added support for socket splicing; sockets can be temporarily
      connected so that the kernel moves data without userland intervention.
      This will be used by relayd(8) in the next release.
    o Added AES-GCM support for IPsec.
    o Added automatic send and receive buffer scaling for TCP.
    o Added wpakey option to ifconfig(8) replacing wpa-psk(8).
    o TCP acknowledgments are no longer delayed on the loopback interface.
    o Network livelock counters are now exported via sysctl(3).
    o A radix tree sorting bug was fixed, which results in significant
      improvements to IPsec performance under certain conditions.
    o tcpdump(8) now decodes Multicast DNS (mDNS) traffic.
    o Wake on Lan support has been added to arp(8).
    o Enabled MPLS and mpe(4) by default on GENERIC kernels.
    o Added a mpls option to ifconfig(8) to enable MPLS on a per
      interface basis replacing the global sysctl knob.

 - OpenBGPD, OpenOSPFD and other routing daemon improvements:
    o bgpd(8) handles various message encoding errors more gracefully now.
    o Notification messages are now logged in bgpd(8).
    o ospfd(8) will now correctly redistribute overlapping routes.
    o ospfctl(8) now prints the LSDB checksum in the show summary output
      for quick verification that two LSDBs are in sync.
    o Fixed ldpd(8)'s message parser to work on all architectures and
      more LDP messages are now implemented.
    o Various improvements in ospf6d(8).

 - pf(4) improvements:
    o The logging subsystem has been largely rewritten, now logging the
      translated addresses again instead of the original ones.
    o match log rules cause a log on the fly, showing the packet exactly
      as pf(4) sees it at the moment of evaluating that rule. A packet
      can also be logged more than once now.
    o match log(matches) rules allow the further rule matching to be traced.
    o pflog(4) now includes the original addresses and ports for packets
      that have been rewritten. This is also displayed by tcpdump(8).

 - IPsec stack audit was performed, resulting in:
    o Several potential security problems have been identified and fixed.
    o ARC4 based PRNG code was audited and revamped.
    o New explicit_bzero kernel function was introduced to prevent a
      compiler from optimizing bzero calls away.

 - SCSI improvements:
    o Improved safety when detaching SCSI devices by waiting for the
      completion of pending commands.
    o Improved hotplug support on mpi(4) and mpii(4).
    o Continued iopoolification of SCSI drivers, notably on umass(4)
      which improves the reliability and performance of multi-LUN devices.
    o Added vscsi(4), a driver for userland handling of SCSI device commands.
    o Added iscsid(8), an iSCSI initiator.
    o Forcibly restrict devices incapable of tagged I/O to executing one
      command at a time.
    o Discover and honour read-only status of sd(4) devices.
    o Improve st(4) handling of I/O residual information.
    o sd(4) devices that can only execute one command at a time (e.g. USB)
      will now be allowed to spin up if necessary.
    o cd(4) will now attach CDROM devices identified as non-removable.

 - Assorted improvements:
    o Enabled wide character support in ncurses(3).
    o Added nsd(8), an authoritative name server implementation.
    o Disklabel UID support improved and added to more utilities.
    o rarpd(8) now accepts a list of interfaces to listen on.
    o dhclient(8) now accepts 'egress' as an interface name, meaning
      whichever interface is marked as being in the 'egress' group.
    o dhcpd(8) no longer listens on interfaces without a broadcast
      address (e.g. pflog(4)).
    o who(1) now displays as much of the hostname as fits on the line.
    o tcpdump(8) now correctly handles 'net' primitives when processing
      pflog(4) traffic.
    o fdisk(8) now respects failure to read the MBR.
    o fdisk(8) will no longer infinitely loop when encountering an
      improperly constructed EBR.
    o disklabel(8) no longer reuses information from a failed partition
      addition on the next addition of the same partition.
    o Many unused and obsolete disktab(5) entries removed.
    o Enabled X11 autoconfiguration on sparc and sparc64.
    o Implement attribute syntax from RFC4517 and support bsdauth in ldapd(8).
    o New video(1) utility which can record or display images from video(4).
    o httpd(8) mod_headers now handles apache2 style RequestHeader directives.
    o UNIX-domain datagram socket support has been added to nc(1) (-uU option).
    o Added support for terabyte units in disklabel(8).
    o loongson and sgi platforms have been switched over to gcc4.
    o ddb cpu support was added to the sgi platform.
    o Fast path TLB miss handling was added to the landisk platform,
      resulting in a 44-50% gain in performance.
    o PCIe extended configuration space can now be viewed using
      pcidump(8) (-xxx option).
    o The number of spurious IPIs has been decreased on the amd64 platform,
      resulting in improved performance.
    o Numerous improvements and bug fixes to tmux(1).
    o Considerable robustness and interoperability improvements in the
      IKEv2 daemon iked(8).
    o Skipjack and libdes were retired from the system. CAST-128
      implementation was also removed from libc.
    o Removed some races in the USB subsystem, substantially increasing
      reliability.
    o Added a few more compat_linux(8) system calls to make it possible
      for newer versions of applications, such as Skype, to execute.
    o OpenBSD-specific package documentation is now centralised
      in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes.

 - Install/Upgrade process changes:
    o Fixed the hppa CD installation process.
    o Added some more free firmwares to the CD media that could fit them.
    o Make the macppc upgrade script update the boot blocks (oddly, this
      had been broken a very long time and no one noticed).
    o Teach the install script about the configuration of 802.11 interfaces.
      Visible networks can be listed, and even configured for WPA.
    o The install script now passes collected entropy better to the
      system which is booted next.
    o Upgrade now defaults to checking only the root filesystem.
    o Upgrade no longer checks filesystems with a fs_passno of 0.
    o Upgrade now asks if it should proceed even if one or more
      filesystem mounts fail.
    o Installer now configures ntpd(8) to use all provided time source IPs.

 - New rc.d(8) for starting, stopping and reconfiguring package daemons:
    o The rc.subr(8) framework allows for easy creation of rc scripts.
    o Only a handful of packages have migrated for now.
    o rc.local can still be used instead of or in addition to rc.d(8).

 - OpenSSH 5.5:
    o New features:
      - Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
        and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
        offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same equivalent
        symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.
      - sftp(1) and sftp-server(8): add a protocol extension to support a
        hard link operation. It is available through the "ln" command in the
        client. The old "ln" behaviour of creating a symlink is available
        using its "-s" option or through the preexisting "symlink" command.
      - scp(1): Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts
        are transferred through the local host. Without this option the data
        is copied directly between the two remote hosts.
      - ssh(1): automatically order the hostkeys requested by the client based
        on which hostkeys are already recorded in known_hosts. This avoids
        hostkey warnings when connecting to servers with new ECDSA keys, since
        these are now preferred when learning hostkeys for the first time.
      - ssh(1) and sshd(8): add a new IPQoS option to specify arbitrary
        TOS/DSCP/QoS values instead of hardcoding lowdelay/throughput. (bz#1733)
      - sftp(1): the sftp client is now significantly faster at performing
        directory listings, using OpenBSD glob(3) extensions to preserve
        the results of stat(3) operations performed in the course of its
        execution rather than performing expensive round trips to fetch them
        again afterwards.
      - ssh(1): "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it
        on a temporary name and then linking it into position after listen()
        has succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the
        server socket is either ready or stale without races. Stale server
        sockets are now automatically removed. (also fixes bz#1711)
      - ssh(1) and sshd(8): add a KexAlgorithms knob to the client and server
        configuration to allow selection of which key exchange methods are
        used by ssh(1) and sshd(8) and their order of preference.
      - sftp(1) and scp(1): factor out bandwidth limiting code from scp(1)
        into a generic bandwidth limiter that can be attached using the
        atomicio callback mechanism and use it to add a bandwidth limit
        option to sftp(1). (bz#1147)
    o The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
      - ssh(1) and ssh-agent(1): honour $TMPDIR for client xauth and
        ssh-agent temporary directories. (bz#1809)
      - ssh(1): avoid NULL deref on receiving a channel request on an
        unknown or invalid channel. (bz#1842)
      - sshd(8): remove a debug() that pollutes stderr on client connecting
        to a server in debug mode. (bz#1719)
      - scp(1): pass through ssh command-line flags and options when doing
        remote-remote transfers, e.g. to enable agent forwarding which is
        particularly useful in this case. (bz#1837)
      - sftp-server(8): umask should be parsed as octal.
      - sftp(1): escape '[' in filename tab-completion.
      - ssh(1): Typo in confirmation message. (bz#1827)
      - sshd(8): prevent free() of string in .rodata when overriding
        AuthorizedKeys in a Match block.
      - sshd(8): Use default shell /bin/sh if $SHELL is "".
      - ssh(1): kill proxy command on fatal() (we already killed it on
        clean exit).
      - ssh(1): install a SIGCHLD handler to reap expired child
        process. (bz#1812)
      - Support building against openssl-1.0.0a
      - Fix vulnerability in legacy certificate signing introduced in
        OpenSSH-5.6 and found by Mateusz Kocielski.

 - Mandoc 1.10.10:
    o New integrated tbl(7) parser and renderer.
    o Support the roff(7) .de, .rm, and .so requests.
    o Support all roff code used in the standard pod2man(1) preamble.
    o Fully support roff quoting in man(7) documents.
    o Mandoc now copes with most formatting errors that used to be fatal.
    o Much simplified and improved reporting of errors and warnings.
    o Significantly improved -Thtml output quality.
    o The ports tree now allows ports to use either mandoc or groff to
      render manuals.

 - Over 6,800 ports, major robustness and speed improvements in package tools.
 - Many pre-built packages for each architecture:
    o i386: 6620                      o sparc64: 6225
    o alpha: 6000                     o sh: 3656
    o amd64: 6570                     o powerpc: 6272
    o sparc: 4184                     o arm: 5679
    o hppa: 5838                      o vax: 1068
    o mips64: 5492                    o mips64el: 5499

 - Some highlights:
    o Gnome 2.32.1                    o KDE 3.5.10
    o Xfce 4.8.0                      o MySQL 5.1.54
    o PostgreSQL 9.0.3                o Postfix 2.7.2
    o OpenLDAP 2.3.43 and 2.4.23      o Mozilla Firefox 3.5.16 and 3.6.13
    o Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1.7       o OpenOffice.org 3.3.0rc9
    o LibreOffice 3.3.0.4             o Emacs 21.4 and 22.3
    o Vim 7.3.3                       o PHP 5.2.16
    o Python 2.4.6, 2.5.4 and 2.6.    o Ruby 1.8.7.330 and 1.9.2.136
    o Mono 2.8.2

 - As usual, steady improvements in manual pages and other documentation.

 - The system includes the following major components from outside suppliers:
    o Xenocara (based on X.Org 7.6 with xserver 1.9 + patches,
      freetype 2.4.4, fontconfig 2.8.0, Mesa 7.8.2, xterm 257 and more)
    o Gcc 2.95.3 (+ patches), 3.3.5 (+ patches) and 4.2.1 (+patches)

If you'd like to see a list of what has changed between OpenBSD 4.8
and 4.9, look at

        http://www.OpenBSD.org/plus49.html

Even though the list is a summary of the most important changes
made to OpenBSD, it still is a very very long list.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- SECURITY AND ERRATA --------------------------------------------------

We provide patches for known security threats and other important
issues discovered after each CD release.  As usual, between the
creation of the OpenBSD 4.9 FTP/CD-ROM binaries and the actual 4.9
release date, our team found and fixed some new reliability problems
(note: most are minor and in subsystems that are not enabled by
default).  Our continued research into security means we will find
new security problems -- and we always provide patches as soon as
possible.  Therefore, we advise regular visits to

        http://www.OpenBSD.org/security.html
and
	http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html

Security patch announcements are sent to the security-announce@OpenBSD.org
mailing list.  For information on OpenBSD mailing lists, please see:

	http://www.OpenBSD.org/mail.html

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- CD-ROM SALES ---------------------------------------------------------

OpenBSD 4.9 is also available on CD-ROM.  The 3-CD set costs $50 CDN and
is available via mail order and from a number of contacts around the
world.  The set includes a colourful booklet which carefully explains the
installation of OpenBSD.  A new set of cute little stickers is also
included (sorry, but our FTP mirror sites do not support STP, the Sticker
Transfer Protocol).  As an added bonus, the second CD contains an audio
track, a song entitled "The Answer".  MP3 and OGG versions of
the audio track can be found on the first CD.

Lyrics (and an explanation) for the songs may be found at:

    http://www.OpenBSD.org/lyrics.html#49

The OpenBSD project was formed Oct 18, 1995.  As of Apr 26, 2011 the
developers have done 235,957 commits over 5661 days, which is an
average rate of almost 42/day.  (That number was only discovered when
writing this ANNOUNCEMENT; the release artwork is intended to honour
the CSRG BSD 4.2 release.  It is nice to see the number show up again).

Profits from CD sales are the primary income source for the OpenBSD
project -- in essence selling these CD-ROM units ensures that OpenBSD
will continue to make another release six months from now.

The OpenBSD 4.9 CD-ROMs are bootable on the following four platforms:

  o i386
  o amd64
  o macppc
  o sparc64

(Other platforms must boot from floppy, network, or other method).

For more information on ordering CD-ROMs, see:

        http://www.OpenBSD.org/orders.html

The above web page lists a number of places where OpenBSD CD-ROMs
can be purchased from.  For our default mail order, go directly to:

        https://https.OpenBSD.org/cgi-bin/order

All of our developers strongly urge you to buy a CD-ROM and support
our future efforts.  Additionally, donations to the project are
highly appreciated, as described in more detail at:

        http://www.OpenBSD.org/goals.html#funding

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- OPENBSD FOUNDATION ---------------------------------------------------

For those unable to make their contributions as straightforward gifts,
the OpenBSD Foundation (http://www.openbsdfoundation.org) is a Canadian
not-for-profit corporation that can accept larger contributions and
issue receipts.  In some situations, their receipt may qualify as a
business expense writeoff, so this is certainly a consideration for
some organizations or businesses.  There may also be exposure benefits
since the Foundation may be interested in participating in press releases.
In turn, the Foundation then uses these contributions to assist OpenBSD's
infrastructure needs.  Contact the foundation directors at
directors@openbsdfoundation.org for more information.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- T-SHIRT SALES --------------------------------------------------------

The OpenBSD distribution companies also sell tshirts and polo shirts.
And our users like them too.  We have a variety of shirts available,
with the new and old designs, from our web ordering system at, as
described above.

There is no specific new OpenBSD shirt for this release -- we decided
to skip a release.  Hoever, we also sell our older shirts, as well as
a selection of OpenSSH t-shirts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- FTP INSTALLS ---------------------------------------------------------

If you choose not to buy an OpenBSD CD-ROM, OpenBSD can be easily
installed via FTP.  Typically you need a single small piece of boot
media (e.g., a boot floppy) and then the rest of the files can be
installed from a number of locations, including directly off the
Internet.  Follow this simple set of instructions to ensure that
you find all of the documentation you will need while performing
an install via FTP.  With the CD-ROMs, the necessary documentation
is easier to find.

1) Read either of the following two files for a list of ftp
   mirrors which provide OpenBSD, then choose one near you:

        http://www.OpenBSD.org/ftp.html
        ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/ftplist

   As of May 1, 2011, the following ftp mirror sites have the 4.9 release:

	ftp://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/	Stockholm, Sweden
	ftp://ftp.bytemine.net/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/		Oldenburg, Germany
	ftp://ftp.ch.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/	Zurich, Switzerland
	ftp://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/	Paris, France
	ftp://ftp5.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/	Vienna, Austria
	ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/	Brisbane, Australia
	ftp://ftp.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/	CO, USA
	ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/	CA, USA
	ftp://obsd.cec.mtu.edu/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/		Michigan, USA

	The release is also available at the master site:

	ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/	        Alberta, Canada

	However it is strongly suggested you use a mirror.

   Other mirror sites may take a day or two to update.

2) Connect to that ftp mirror site and go into the directory
   pub/OpenBSD/4.9/ which contains these files and directories.
   This is a list of what you will see:

        ANNOUNCEMENT     armish/          mvme68k/         sparc64/
        Changelogs/      ftplist          mvme88k/         src.tar.gz
        HARDWARE         hp300/           packages/        sys.tar.gz
        PACKAGES         hppa/            ports.tar.gz     tools/

        amd64/           macppc/          sparc/

   It is quite likely that you will want at LEAST the following
   files which apply to all the architectures OpenBSD supports.

        README          - generic README
        HARDWARE        - list of hardware we support
        PORTS           - description of our "ports" tree
        PACKAGES        - description of pre-compiled packages
        root.mail       - a copy of root's mail at initial login.
			  (This is really worthwhile reading).

3) Read the README file.  It is short, and a quick read will make
   sure you understand what else you need to fetch.

4) Next, go into the directory that applies to your architecture,
   for example, i386.  This is a list of what you will see:

	INSTALL.i386    cd49.iso        floppyB49.fs    pxeboot*
	INSTALL.linux   cdboot*         floppyC49.fs    xbase49.tgz
	MD5             cdbr*           game49.tgz      xetc49.tgz
	base49.tgz      cdemu49.iso     index.txt       xfont49.tgz
	bsd*            comp49.tgz      install49.iso   xserv49.tgz
	bsd.mp*         etc49.tgz       man49.tgz       xshare49.tgz
	bsd.rd*         floppy49.fs     misc49.tgz

   If you are new to OpenBSD, fetch _at least_ the file INSTALL.i386
   and the appropriate floppy*.fs or install49.iso files.  Consult the
   INSTALL.i386 file if you don't know which of the floppy images
   you need (or simply fetch all of them).

   If you use the install49.iso file (roughly 200MB in size), then you
   do not need the various *.tgz files since they are contained on that
   one-step ISO-format install CD.

5) If you are an expert, follow the instructions in the file called
   README; otherwise, use the more complete instructions in the
   file called INSTALL.i386.  INSTALL.i386 may tell you that you
   need to fetch other files.

6) Just in case, take a peek at:

        http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html

   This is the page where we talk about the mistakes we made while
   creating the 4.9 release, or the significant bugs we fixed
   post-release which we think our users should have fixes for.
   Patches and workarounds are clearly described there.

Note: If you end up needing to write a raw floppy using Windows,
      you can use "fdimage.exe" located in the pub/OpenBSD/4.9/tools
      directory to do so.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- X.ORG FOR MOST ARCHITECTURES -----------------------------------------

X.Org has been integrated more closely into the system.  This release
contains X.Org 7.4.  Most of our architectures ship with X.Org, including
amd64, sparc, sparc64 and macppc.  During installation, you can install
X.Org quite easily.  Be sure to try out xdm(1) and see how we have
customized it for OpenBSD.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- PORTS TREE -----------------------------------------------------------

The OpenBSD ports tree contains automated instructions for building
third party software.  The software has been verified to build and
run on the various OpenBSD architectures.  The 4.9 ports collection,
including many of the distribution files, is included on the 3-CD
set.  Please see the PORTS file for more information.

Note: some of the most popular ports, e.g., the Apache web server
and several X applications, come standard with OpenBSD.  Also, many
popular ports have been pre-compiled for those who do not desire
to build their own binaries (see BINARY PACKAGES, below).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BINARY PACKAGES WE PROVIDE -------------------------------------------

A large number of binary packages are provided.  Please see the PACKAGES
file (ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/PACKAGES) for more details.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- SYSTEM SOURCE CODE ---------------------------------------------------

The CD-ROMs contain source code for all the subsystems explained
above, and the README (ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/README)
file explains how to deal with these source files.  For those who
are doing an FTP install, the source code for all four subsystems
can be found in the pub/OpenBSD/4.9/ directory:

        xenocara.tar.gz     ports.tar.gz   src.tar.gz     sys.tar.gz
