> - The enqueuer no longer adds its own User-Agent.
> - Disabled profiling code, allowing all processes to rest rather
> than waking up every second.
> - Reworked the purge task to avoid disk-hits unless necessary...
> only once at startup.
> - Fix various header parsing bugs in the local enqueuer.
> - Assorted minor fixes and code cleanups.
>
> - Security improvements:

> o Added timingsafe_memcmp(3).
> o Removed the MD4 hash algorithm and functions from cksum(1), S/Key,
> and libc.
> o gets(3) has been removed.
> o Added reallocarray(3), which allows multiple sized objects to be
> allocated without the cost of clearing memory while avoiding

> o Extended fread(3) and fwrite(3) to check for integer overflows.
>
> - Assorted improvements:
> o locate databases for both base and xenocara, as

> to get an address when no dynamic lease is available.
> o Improve dhclient(8) parsing and printing of classess static routes.
> o Eliminate unnecessary rewrites of resolv.conf(5) by dhclient(8).
> o Added sendsyslog(2): syslog(3) now works even when out of file
> descriptors or in a chroot.
> o Added errc(3), verrc(3), warnc(3) and vwarnc(3).
> o Faster hibernate/unhibernate performance on amd64 and i386

> i386, and sparc64. This provides fairer access to the kernel lock
> between logical CPUs, especially in multi socket systems.

> - OpenSSH 6.7:
> o Potentially-incompatible changes:
> - sshd(8): The default set of ciphers and MACs has been altered to
> remove unsafe algorithms. In particular, CBC ciphers and
> arcfour* are disabled by default.
> - sshd(8): Support for tcpwrappers/libwrap has been removed.
> - OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
> using the "[email protected]" KEX exchange method to
> fail when connecting with something that implements the
> specification correctly. OpenSSH 6.7 disables this KEX method
> when speaking to one of the affected versions.
> o New/changed features:
> - Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH
> usable as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and
> KRL code has been refactored. Please note that we do not
> consider the API stable yet, nor do we offer the library in
> separable form.
> - ssh(1), sshd(8): Add support for Unix domain socket forwarding.
> A remote TCP port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket
> and vice versa or both ends may be a Unix domain socket.
> - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): Add support for SSHFP DNS records for
> Ed25519 key types.
> - sftp(1): Allow resumption of interrupted uploads.
> - ssh(1): When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if
> it is the same as the one sent during initial key exchange.
> (bz#2154)
> - sshd(8): Allow explicit ::1 and 127.0.0.1 forwarding bind
> addresses when GatewayPorts=no; allows client to choose address
> family. (bz#2222)
> - sshd(8): Add a sshd_config(5) PermitUserRC option to control
> whether ~/.ssh/rc is executed, mirroring the no-user-rc
> authorized_keys option. (bz#2160)
> - ssh(1): Add a %C escape sequence for LocalCommand and ControlPath
> that expands to a unique identifer based on a hash of the tuple
> of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps avoid
> exceeding miserly pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in
> multiplexing control paths. (bz#2220)
> - sshd(8): Make the "Too many authentication failures" message
> include the user, source address, port and protocol in a format
> similar to the authentication success/failure messages. (bz#2199)
> - Added unit and fuzz tests for refactored code.
> o The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
> - sshd(8): Fix remote forwarding with same listen port but
> different listen address.
> - ssh(1): Fix inverted test that caused PKCS#11 keys that were
> explicitly listed in ssh_config(5) or on the commandline not to
> be preferred.
> - ssh-keygen(1): Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive
> revoked certificate serial number ranges could be serialised to
> an invalid format. Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug
> will fail closed, so no should-have-been-revoked key will be
> accepted.
> - ssh(1): Reflect stdio-forward ("ssh -W host:port ...") failures
> in exit status. Previously we were always returning 0. (bz#2255)
> - ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): Make Ed25519 keys' title fit properly in
> the randomart border. (bz#2247)
> - ssh-agent(1): Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process
> and not in any subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked
> askpass). Fixes agent sockets being zapped when askpass processes
> fatal(). (bz#2236)
> - ssh-add(1): Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output
> getting lost when ssh-add(1) fatal()s part-way through (e.g. when
> listing keys from an agent that supports key types that
> ssh-add(1) doesn't). (bz#2234)
> - ssh-keygen(1): When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on
> "@revoked" markers and don't remove "@cert-authority" markers.
> (bz#2241)
> - ssh(1): Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
> ProxyCommand is in use; continue and allow the ProxyCommand to
> connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name outside the DNS behind
> a bastion).
> - scp(1): When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send
> uninitialised heap to the remote end.
> - sftp(1): Fix fatal "el_insertstr failed" errors when
> tab-completing filenames with a single quote char somewhere in
> the string. (bz#2238)
> - ssh-keyscan(1): Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
> - ssh(1): When using VerifyHostKeyDNS with a DNSSEC resolver,
> down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
> resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and
> forcing a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
> - sshd(8): Avoid crash at exit via NULL pointer reference.
> (bz#2225)
> - Fix some strict-alignment errors.
>
> - mandoc 1.13.0:
> o New implementation of apropos(1), whatis(1), and makewhatis(8)
> based on SQLite3 databases.
> o Substantial improvements of mandoc(1) error and warning messages.
> o Almost complete implementation of roff(7) numerical expressions.
> o About a dozen minor new features and numerous bug fixes.
>
> - Ports and packages:
> o Over 8,800 ports.
>
> - Many pre-built packages for each architecture:
> o i386: 8588 o sparc64: 7965

> 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 5.6 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 nginx 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).
> A large number of binary packages are provided. Please see the PACKAGES
> file (http://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.6/PACKAGES) for more details.
> The CD-ROMs contain source code for all the subsystems explained
> above, and the README (http://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.6/README)
> file explains how to deal with these source files. For those who
> are doing an HTTP install, the source code for all four subsystems
> can be found in the pub/OpenBSD/5.6/ directory:
