------------------------------------------------------------------------ - OpenBSD 3.2 RELEASED ------------------------------------------------- Nov 1, 2002. It is our pleasure to officially announce the release of OpenBSD 3.2. This is our 12th release on CD-ROM (and 13th via FTP). We remain proud of OpenBSD's record of six years with only a single remote hole in the default install. As in our previous releases, 3.2 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system: - Improved hardware support (http://www.OpenBSD.org/plat.html) o Asymmetric and symmetric hardware encryption support is enabled by default if a supported crypto accelerator is present. o Improved frame buffer and X Window System performance on the sparc, sparc64, and alpha platforms. o Builtin AGP-based video on i386 machines using ALI, AMD, Intel, SiS, and VIA chipsets is now supported and usable by the X Window System. o Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters are now supported by the em(4) driver which replaces the gx(4) driver. The em(4) driver supports more models and has better performance than the old gx(4) driver. o Fixed a stability problem with the twe(4) driver and some UDMA drives. o Added support for more PCI-based Cyclades serial boards. o IDE disks larger than 128GB and UDMA133 are now supported. o Updated isp(4) and siop(4) SCSI drivers. o Added support for sbus-PCMCIA bridges on the sparc64 platform. o The wi(4) driver (Wavelan, Prism, and Symbol 802.11b) now works on the sparc64 platform. o DMA handling in the hme(4) driver has been fixed. - Major improvements in the pf packet filter, including: o New "antispoof" keyword: spoofing protection made easy. o Much simplified filter rule language. o Extended filtering capabilities. o All known bugs with filtering bridged interfaces have been fixed. o It is now possible to control state table entries with a per-rule granularity. o Support for dynamic interface expansion. There is no longer a need to reload the ruleset due to IP address changes. This is useful for interfaces where the address is dynamically assigned (PPP and DHCP). - Ever-improving security (http://www.OpenBSD.org/security.html) o Non-executable stack on i386, sparc (sun4m only), sparc64, alpha, and macppc platforms. Non-executable data and bss on sparc (sun4m only), sparc64 and alpha. This makes the system more resistent to buffer overflow attacks. o OpenBSD 3.2 ships with fewer setuid root binaries than ever before. Many of the remaining root setuid binaries drop root privileges early in their execution. The use of setuid in the ports subsystem has also been reduced. o Privilege separation is now the default in sshd. o The Apache web server now runs in a chroot jail by default. The new "-u" option can be used to disable this. o Several other security issues fixed throughout the system, many of which were identified by members of the OpenBSD team themselves. Please see http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata31.html for more details on what was fixed. - New subsystems included with 3.2 o A new tool, systrace, enables the user to specify policy for an executable at the system call level. o The sparc platform now uses ELF binaries. - Many other bugs fixed (http://www.OpenBSD.org/plus32.html) - The "ports" tree is greatly improved (http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html) o The 3.2 CD-ROMs ship with many pre-built packages for the common architectures. The FTP site contains hundreds more packages (for the important architectures) which we could not fit onto the CD-ROMs (or which had prohibitive licenses). - Many subsystems improved and updated since the last release: o XFree86 updated to 4.2.1. o Sendmail updated to 8.12.6. o Apache 1.3.26 and mod_ssl 2.8.10. o OpenSSL 0.9.7beta3 (+ patches) o Latest KAME IPv6 o OpenSSH 3.5 o The atrun command has been incorporated into the cron(8) daemon. o The vlan(4) driver now supports multicast. If you'd like to see a list of what has changed between OpenBSD 3.1 and 3.2, look at http://www.OpenBSD.org/plus32.html Even though the list is a summary of the most important changes made to OpenBSD, it still is a very very long list. This is our thirteenth OpenBSD release, and the twelfth release which is available on CD-ROM. Our releases have been spaced six months apart, and we plan to continue this timing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - 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 3.2 FTP/CD-ROM binaries and the actual 3.2 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 3.2 is also available on CD-ROM. The 3-CD set costs $40USD (EUR 45) and is available via mail order and from a number of contacts around the world. The set includes a colorful booklet which carefully explains the installation of OpenBSD. A new set of cute little stickers are 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 exclusive audio track, "Goldflipper". Lyrics for the song may be found at: http://www.OpenBSD.org/lyrics.html#32 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 3.2 CD-ROMs are bootable on the following six platforms: o i386 o alpha o sparc o sparc64 (UltraSPARC) o macppc o hp300* * The m68k-based platforms, including hp300, are located on a fourth CD that is not included in the official CD-ROM package. You can download the ISO-9660 image for the fourth CD as described below. (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 or, for European orders: https://https.OpenBSD.org/cgi-bin/order.eu All of our developers strongly urge you to buy a CD-ROM and support our future efforts. As well, donations to the project are highly appreciated, as described in more detail at: http://www.OpenBSD.org/goals.html#funding Due to space restrictions and our desire not to raise the cost of the CD-ROM, the Motorola 68k-based platforms are located on a fourth CD that is not included in the official CD-ROM package. An ISO-9660 image for this CD may be downloaded from: ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD-ISO/3.2-CD4.iso This CD contains the amiga, hp300, mac68k and mvme68k install sets as well as the m68k packages. The CD is bootable on the hp300. Note that not all ftp mirrors will carry the CD image. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - T-SHIRT SALES -------------------------------------------------------- The project continues to expand its funding base by selling t-shirts 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: https://https.OpenBSD.org/cgi-bin/order The new 3.2 t-shirt is not available at this time but will be available shortly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - 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/3.2/ftplist As of Nov 1, 2002, the following ftp sites have the 3.2 release: ftp://ftp.ca.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/ Alberta, Canada ftp://ftp.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/ Boulder, CO, USA ftp://ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/ Stockholm, Sweden ftp://ftp.calyx.nl/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/ Amsterdam, Netherlands ftp://ftp.wiretapped.net/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/ Sydney, Australia Other mirrors will take a day or two to update. 2) Connect to that ftp mirror site and go into the directory pub/OpenBSD/3.2/ which contains these files and directories. This is a list of what you will see: ANNOUNCEMENT XF4.tar.gz mac68k/ sparc/ Changelogs/ alpha/ macppc/ sparc64/ HARDWARE amiga/ mvme68k/ src.tar.gz PACKAGES ftplist packages/ srcsys.tar.gz PORTS hp300/ ports.tar.gz tools/ README i386/ root.mail vax/ 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: CKSUM INSTALL.os2br comp32.tgz man32.tgz INSTALL.ata INSTALL.pt etc32.tgz misc32.tgz INSTALL.chs MD5 floppy32.fs xbase32.tgz INSTALL.dbr base32.tgz floppyB32.fs xfont32.tgz INSTALL.i386 bsd floppyC32.fs xserv32.tgz INSTALL.linux bsd.rd game32.tgz xshare32.tgz INSTALL.mbr cdrom32.fs index.txt If you are new to OpenBSD, fetch _at least_ the file INSTALL.i386 and the appropriate floppy*.fs file. Consult the INSTALL.i386 file if you don't know which of the floppy images you need (or simply fetch all of them). 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 3.2 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/3.2/tools directory to do so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - XFree86 FOR MOST ARCHITECTURES --------------------------------------- XFree86 has been integrated more closely into the system. This release contains XFree86 4.2.1. Most of our architectures ship with XFree86, including sparc, sparc64 and macppc. During installation, you can install XFree86 quite easily. Be sure to try out xdm(1) and see how we have customized it for OpenBSD. On the i386 platform a few older X servers are included from XFree86 3.3.6. These can be used for cards that are not supported by XFree86 4.2.1 or where XFree86 4.2.1 support is buggy. Please read the /usr/X11R6/README file for post-installation information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - 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 3.2 ports collection, including many of the distribution files, is included on the 3-CD set. Please see 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 PACKAGES, below). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - BINARY PACKAGES WE PROVIDE ------------------------------------------- A large number of binary packages are provided. Please see PACKAGES file (ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/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/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/3.2/ directory: XF4.tar.gz ports.tar.gz src.tar.gz srcsys.tar.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - THANKS --------------------------------------------------------------- OpenBSD 3.2 includes artwork and CD artistic layout by Ty Semaka, who also wrote the lyrics and arranged an audio track on the OpenBSD 3.2 CD set. Ports tree and package building by Christian Weisgerber, David Lebel, Peter Valchev and Miod Vallat. System builds by Theo de Raadt, Niklas Hallqvist, Todd Fries and Bob Beck. ISO-9660 filesystem layout by Theo de Raadt. We would like to thank all of the people who sent in bug reports, bug fixes, donation cheques, and hardware that we use. We would also like to thank those who pre-ordered the 3.2 CD-ROM or bought our previous CD-ROMs. Those who did not support us financially have still helped us with our goal of improving the quality of the software.
