2.5 Changelog
</h2>
<hr>
<p>
This is a partial list of the major machine independent changes
(i.e., these are the changes people ask about most often). Machine
specific changes have also been made, and are sometimes mentioned
in the pages for the specific <a href=plat.html>platforms</a> if you
are interested in further port-specific details. Many ports
have had architecture-specific enhancements relative to NetBSD,
but when they do not they certainly have plenty of platform-independent
changes, starting with those listed below..

<h3>Changes made between OpenBSD 2.4 and 2.5</h3>
<p>
<ul>
<li>2.5 source tree frozen.
<li><strong>Fix ln kernel bug in vfs_lookup.c. <a href="errata24.html#lnpanic">A patch is available</a></strong>.
<li>Fix ipf return-rst panic bug.
<li>Add a -q flag to newfs, so that it does not print out information about the superblock backups. This is used by the install process.
<li>Do not permit any IPSEC code unless the admin has enabled it using sysctl.
<li>More ISAPNP devices.
<li>Do not permit local address spoofing using ip4.
<li>Do not permit ip4 tunneling unless the admin has enabled it using sysctl.
<li>More man page and games fixes.
<li>Significant improvements to disklabel(8) and the install procedure.
<li>For CD support, if READ_CD_CAPACITY fails as it does on some units, provide nice defaults so that other things do not fail later.
<li>Rearrange default interrupt ordering for pcmcia somewhat more.
<li>Improve multicast handling in /etc/rc.
<li>Silence initgroups(3), it should not spew to stderr on failure.
<li>sudo 1.5.9
<li>Numerous ipsec changes, further making isakmpd useful, etc. etc.
<li>Support hostname.bridge* files.
<li>Support some 100Mbit ne2000-like pcmcia cards.
<li>Further Qlogic ISP support for PCI and sbus versions..
<li>Add ssl log rotation to newsyslog.conf
<li>In sun4m trap handler stubs, rd %wim which makes viking CPUs much happier.
<li>lifetime expiration notifications for the IPSEC stack.
<li>PF_KEYv2 support in isakmpd(8).
<li>In kvm_mkdb(8), better fallback from /dev/ksyms to /bsd if there are problems with nlist(3).
<li>Fix in6 dependence in various netinet header files.
<li>Tail anchor search in makewhatis.sed, so that overwritten titles are dealt with right.
<li>Fix a problem regarding "\r" translation in talk(1).
<li>Some more games fixes.
<li>Workaround sun4m STP1020A errata #148494 regarding cache initialization.
<li>In ipsend(8), do not crash if no options provided.
<li>Various powerpc fixes, including further PIC support, and fix a kernel pmap crash.

<li><strong>SECURITY ISSUE: Fix TSS fault handling. <a href="errata24.html#tss">A patch is available</a></strong>.

<li>Brand new version of the isp(4) driver for SBUS and PCI.
<li>Ensure that sb(4) devices have at least one drq; thus not falsely probing one particularly stupid isapnp sb-like device.
<li>ncurses-4.2-990316
<li>A nice ssl(8) man page.
<li>Various changes to the ssl install, so that /etc/ssl contains nicer default files.
<li>Various disklabel(8) improvements and bug fixes, so that our 2.5 release will be easier to install.
<li>Bug fixes to the tx(4) driver.
<li>In /etc/daily, do /tmp pruning with a <code>find -x</code> so that sub-mounts do not get trashed.
<li>Add a f.startwm function to twm(1), so that it can start other window managers.
