carriage return causes the appropriate action, e.g. reboot.
<li>display the mode (install or upgrade) shell prompts as
long as no hostname is known.
<li>correctly detect which interface has the default route and if it was
configured via DHCP.
<li>ensure sets can be read from the prefetch area.

<b>ssv</b> option which outputs rib entries as a single semicolon-separated
like for selection before output.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/slaacd.8">slaacd(8)</a> generates
random but stable IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration addresses according
to RFC 7217.

collapse flow outputs having the same source or destination.
<li>The <code>-n</code> option in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/netstart.8">netstart(8)</a> no longer
messes with the default route.
It is now documented as well.
</ul>

<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rebound">rebound(8)</a>
monitoring process now use
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2">pledge(2)</a>.
<li>Prepare for the introduction of <b>MAP_STACK</b> to
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mmap.2">mmap(2)</a> after 6.3.
<li>Push a small piece of KARL-linked kernel text into the random

mitigate Spectre variant 2 attacks.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pool_get.9">pool_get(9)</a> perturbs
the order of items on newly allocated pages, making the kernel heap
layout harder to predict.

<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-6.2/ktrace.2">fktrace(2)</a>
system call was deleted.
</ul>
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.8">dhclient(8)</a> improvements:
<ul>
<li>Parsing <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a> no longer leaks SSID strings, strings that are

<li>Storing leases in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a> is no longer supported.
<li>'DENY' is no longer valid in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a>.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a> and
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.leases.5">

parsing error messages have been simplified and clarified, with
improved behaviour in the presence of unexpected semicolons.
<li>More care is taken to only use configuration information that was
successfully parsed.
<li>'-n' has been added, which causes
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.8">
dhclient(8)</a> to exit after parsing
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a>.
<li>Default routes in options classless-static-routes (121) and
classless-ms-static-routes (249) are now correctly represented in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.leases.5">
dhclient.leases(5)</a> files.
<li>Overwrite the file specified with '-L' rather than appending to it.
<li>Leases in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.leases.5">
dhclient.leases(5)</a> now contain an 'epoch' attribute recording
the time the lease was accepted, which is used to calculate correct
renewal, rebinding and expiry times.
<li>No longer nag about underscores in names violating RFC 952.
<li>Unconditionally send host-name information when
requesting a lease, eliminating the need for
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a> in the default installation.
<li>Be quiet by default. '-q' has been removed and '-v' added to
enable verbose logging.
<li>Decline duplicate offers for the requested address.
<li>Unconditionally go into the background after link-timeout seconds.
<li>Significantly reduce logging when being quiet, but make '-v' log
all debug information without needing to compile a custom executable.
<li>Ignore 'interface' statements in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.leases.5">
dhclient.leases(5)</a> and assume all leases in the file are
for the interface being configured.
<li>Display the source of the lease bound to the interface.
<li>'ignore', 'request' and 'require' declarations in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.conf.5">
dhclient.conf(5)</a> now add the specified options to the relevant
list rather than replacing the list.
<li>Eliminate a startup race that could result in
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.8">
dhclient(8)</a> exiting without configuring the interface.
</ul>
<li>Assorted improvements:
<ul>
<li>Code reorganization and other improvements to
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/malloc.3">malloc(3)</a>
and friends to make them more efficient.
<li>When performing suspend or hibernate operations, ensure all filesystems
are properly synchronized and marked clean, or if they cannot be
put into perfectly clean state on disk (due to open+unlinked files)
then mark them dirty, so that a failed resume/unhibernate is guaranteed
to perform <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fsck.8">fsck(8)</a>.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/acme-client.1">acme-client(1)</a>
autodetects the agreement URL and follows 30x HTTP redirects.

functions in libm.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> now ensures the

detects ^D and invalid input during (R)esize commands.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel(8)</a> now
detects underflows and overflows when -/+ operators are used.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel(8)</a> now
avoids an off-by-one when calculating the number of cylinders in a free
chunk.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel(8)</a> now
validates the requested partition size against the size of the largest free
chunk instead of the total free space.
<li>Support for dumping USB transfers via
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bpf.4">bpf(4)</a>.
<li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tcpdump.8">tcpdump(8)</a> can now
understand dumps of USB transfers in the
<a href="http://desowin.org/usbpcap/captureformat.html">USBPcap</a>
format.
<li>The default prompts of <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/csh.1">csh(1)</a>,

<li>Add <b>spf walk</b> option to
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/smtpctl.8">smtpctl(8)</a>.
<li>Assorted cleanups and improvements.
<li>Numerous manual page fixes and improvements.
</ul>
<li>OpenSSH 7.7
<ul>
<li>New/changed features:
<ul>
<li>All: Add experimental support for PQC XMSS keys (Extended Hash-
Based Signatures) based on the algorithm described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures-12
The XMSS signature code is experimental and not compiled in by
default.
<li>sshd(8): Add a "rdomain" criteria for the sshd_config Match keyword
to allow conditional configuration that depends on which routing
domain a connection was received on (currently supported on OpenBSD
and Linux).
<li>sshd_config(5): Add an optional rdomain qualifier to the
ListenAddress directive to allow listening on different routing
domains. This is supported only on OpenBSD and Linux at present.
<li>sshd_config(5): Add RDomain directive to allow the authenticated
session to be placed in an explicit routing domain. This is only
supported on OpenBSD at present.
<li>sshd(8): Add "expiry-time" option for authorized_keys files to
allow for expiring keys.
<li>ssh(1): Add a BindInterface option to allow binding the outgoing
connection to an interface's address (basically a more usable
BindAddress).
<li>ssh(1): Expose device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a new
%T expansion for LocalCommand. This allows LocalCommand to be used
to prepare the interface.
<li>sshd(8): Expose the device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a
new SSH_TUNNEL environment variable. This allows automatic setup of
the interface and surrounding network configuration automatically on
the server.
<li>ssh(1)/scp(1)/sftp(1): Add URI support to ssh, sftp and scp, e.g.
ssh://user@host or sftp://user@host/path. Additional connection
parameters described in draft-ietf-secsh-scp-sftp-ssh-uri-04 are not
implemented since the ssh fingerprint format in the draft uses the
deprecated MD5 hash with no way to specify the any other algorithm.
<li>ssh-keygen(1): Allow certificate validity intervals that specify
only a start or stop time (instead of both or neither).
<li>sftp(1): Allow "cd" and "lcd" commands with no explicit path
argument. lcd will change to the local user's home directory as
usual. cd will change to the starting directory for session (because
the protocol offers no way to obtain the remote user's home
directory). bz#2760
<li>sshd(8): When doing a config test with sshd -T, only require the
attributes that are actually used in Match criteria rather than (an
incomplete list of) all criteria.
</ul>
<li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
<ul>
<li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): More strictly check signature types during key
exchange against what was negotiated. Prevents downgrade of RSA
signatures made with SHA-256/512 to SHA-1.
<li>sshd(8): Fix support for client that advertise a protocol version
of "1.99" (indicating that they are prepared to accept both SSHv1 and
SSHv2). This was broken in OpenSSH 7.6 during the removal of SSHv1
support. bz#2810
<li>ssh(1): Warn when the agent returns a ssh-rsa (SHA1) signature when
a rsa-sha2-256/512 signature was requested. This condition is possible
when an old or non-OpenSSH agent is in use. bz#2799
<li>ssh-agent(1): Fix regression introduce in 7.6 that caused ssh-agent
to fatally exit if presented an invalid signature request message.
<li>sshd_config(5): Accept yes/no flag options case-insensitively, as
has been the case in ssh_config(5) for a long time. bz#2664
<li>ssh(1): Improve error reporting for failures during connection.
Under some circumstances misleading errors were being shows. bz#2814
<li>ssh-keyscan(1): Add -D option to allow printing of results directly
in SSHFP format. bz#2821
<li>regress tests: fix PuTTY interop test broken in last release's SSHv1
removal. bz#2823
<li>ssh(1): Compatibility fix for some servers that erroneously drop the
connection when the IUTF8 (RFC8160) option is sent.
<li>scp(1): Disable RemoteCommand and RequestTTY in the ssh session
started by scp (sftp was already doing this.)
<li>ssh-keygen(1): Refuse to create a certificate with an unusable
number of principals.
<li>ssh-keygen(1): Fatally exit if ssh-keygen is unable to write all the
public key during key generation. Previously it would silently
ignore errors writing the comment and terminating newline.
<li>ssh(1): Do not modify hostname arguments that are addresses by
automatically forcing them to lower-case. Instead canonicalise them
to resolve ambiguities (e.g. ::0001 => ::1) before they are matched
against known_hosts. bz#2763
<li>ssh(1): Don't accept junk after "yes" or "no" responses to hostkey
prompts. bz#2803
<li>sftp(1): Have sftp print a warning about shell cleanliness when
decoding the first packet fails, which is usually caused by shells
polluting stdout of non-interactive startups. bz#2800
<li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): Switch timers in packet code from using wall-clock
time to monotonic time, allowing the packet layer to better function
over a clock step and avoiding possible integer overflows during
steps.
<li>Numerous manual page fixes and improvements.
</ul>
</ul>
<li>LibreSSL 2.7.2
<ul>
<li> Added support for many OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1 APIs, based on
observations of real-world usage in applications. These are
implemented in parallel with existing OpenSSL 1.0.1 APIs - visibility
changes have not been made to existing structs, allowing code written
for older OpenSSL APIs to continue working.
<li> Extensive corrections, improvements, and additions to the
API documentation, including new public APIs from OpenSSL that had
no pre-existing documentation.
<li> Added support for automatic library initialization in libcrypto,
libssl, and libtls. Support for pthread_once or a compatible
equivalent is now required of the target operating system. As a
side-effect, minimum Windows support is Vista or higher.
<li> Converted more packet handling methods to CBB, which improves
resiliency when generating TLS messages.
<li> Completed TLS extension handling rewrite, improving consistency of
checks for malformed and duplicate extensions.
<li>Rewrote ASN1_TYPE_{get,set}_octetstring() using templated ASN.1.
This removes the last remaining use of the old M_ASN1_* macros
(asn1_mac.h) from API that needs to continue to exist.
<li> Added support for client-side session resumption in libtls.
A libtls client can specify a session file descriptor (a regular
file with appropriate ownership and permissions) and libtls will
manage reading and writing of session data across TLS handshakes.
<li> Improved support for strict alignment on ARMv7 architectures,
conditionally enabling assembly in those cases.
<li> Fixed a memory leak in libtls when reusing a tls_config.
<li> Merged more DTLS support into the regular TLS code path, removing
duplicated code.

<section id=quickinstall>
<p>
Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the use of
the "<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel</a> -E" command.
If you are at all confused when installing OpenBSD, read the relevant
INSTALL.* file as listed above!
<h3>OpenBSD/alpha:</h3>
<p>
Write <i>floppy63.fs</i> or <i>floppyB63.fs</i> (depending on your machine)
to a diskette and enter <i>boot dva0</i>.
Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details.
<p>
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
will most likely fail.
<h3>OpenBSD/amd64:</h3>
<p>
If your machine can boot from CD, you can write <i>install63.iso</i> or
<i>cd63.iso</i> to a CD and boot from it.
You may need to adjust your BIOS options first.
<p>
If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install63.fs</i> or
<i>miniroot63.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
<p>
If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
INSTALL.amd64 document.
<p>
If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
read INSTALL.amd64.
<h3>OpenBSD/arm64:</h3>
<p>
Write <i>miniroot63.fs</i> to a disk and boot from it after connecting
to the serial console. Refer to INSTALL.arm64 for more details.
<h3>OpenBSD/armv7:</h3>
<p>
Write a system specific miniroot to an SD card and boot from it after connecting
to the serial console. Refer to INSTALL.armv7 for more details.
<h3>OpenBSD/hppa:</h3>
<p>
Boot over the network by following the instructions in INSTALL.hppa or the
<a href="hppa.html#install">hppa platform page</a>.
<h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
<p>
If your machine can boot from CD, you can write <i>install63.iso</i> or
<i>cd63.iso</i> to a CD and boot from it.
You may need to adjust your BIOS options first.
<p>
If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install63.fs</i> or
<i>miniroot63.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
<p>
If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
you can install across the network using PXE as described in
the included INSTALL.i386 document.
<p>
If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
read INSTALL.i386.
<h3>OpenBSD/landisk:</h3>
<p>
Write <i>miniroot63.fs</i> to the start of the CF
or disk, and boot normally.
<h3>OpenBSD/loongson:</h3>
<p>
Write <i>miniroot63.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot bsd.rd from it
or boot bsd.rd via tftp.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.loongson for more details.
<h3>OpenBSD/luna88k:</h3>
<p>
Copy 'boot' and 'bsd.rd' to a Mach or UniOS partition, and boot the bootloader
from the PROM, and then bsd.rd from the bootloader.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.luna88k for more details.
<h3>OpenBSD/macppc:</h3>
<p>
Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, and power on your machine
while holding down the <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and
shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
<p>
Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot
/6.3/macppc/bsd.rd</i>
<h3>OpenBSD/octeon:</h3>
<p>
After connecting a serial port, boot bsd.rd over the network via DHCP/tftp.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.octeon for more details.
<h3>OpenBSD/sgi:</h3>
<p>
To install, burn cd63.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your
machine and select <i>Install System Software</i> from the System Maintenance
menu. Indigo/Indy/Indigo2 (R4000) systems will not boot automatically from
CD-ROM, and need a proper invocation from the PROM prompt.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
<p>
If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network
server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using the kernel matching your
system type. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
<h3>OpenBSD/sparc64:</h3>
<p>
Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, boot from it, and type
<i>boot cdrom</i>.
<p>
If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
<i>floppy63.fs</i> or <i>floppyB63.fs</i>
(depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
<p>
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
will most likely fail.
<p>
You can also write <i>miniroot63.fs</i> to the swap partition on
the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
<p>
If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.

<h3>How to upgrade</h3>
If you already have an OpenBSD 6.2 system, and do not want to reinstall,
upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
<a href="faq/upgrade63.html">Upgrade Guide</a>.
</section>
<hr>
<section id=sourcecode>
<h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
<code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
which are in a separate archive.
To extract:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
# <b>cd /usr/src</b>
# <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
</pre></blockquote>
<code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
To extract:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
# <b>cd /usr/src</b>
# <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
</pre></blockquote>
Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
Using these files
results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.
</section>
</section>
<hr>
<section id=ports>
<h3>Ports Tree</h3>
A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>cd /usr</b>
# <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
</pre></blockquote>
Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
if you know nothing about ports
at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
OpenBSD ports system.
<p>
The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
<a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
with a command like:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
# <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
</pre></blockquote>
[Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
server.]
<p>
Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
<p>
If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
would like to know more, the mailing list
<a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
