- OpenBSD 4.4 RELEASED -------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Nov 1, 2008.<br>
<br>
We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 4.4.<br>
This is our 24th release on CD-ROM (and 25th via FTP). We remain<br>
proud of OpenBSD's record of more than ten years with only two remote<br>
holes in the default install.<br>
<br>
As in our previous releases, 4.4 provides significant improvements,<br>
including new features, in nearly all areas of the system:<br>
<br>
- New/extended platforms:<br>
o OpenBSD/sparc64.<br>
Fujitsu's SPARC64-V, SPARC64-VI and SPARC64-VII processors are supported<br>
now, which means that many of the PRIMEPOWER machines and the SPARC<br>
Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 work now.<br>
Sun's UltraSPARC VI processors are supported now. Many of Sun's<br>
mid-range and high-end servers with these processors or UltraSPARC III<br>
and UltraSPARC III+ processors work now.<br>
Sun's UltraSPARC T1 and UltraSPARC T2 processors are supported now,<br>
which means the sun4v architecture is now supported and machines like<br>
the SPARC Enterprise T1000 and SPARC Enterprise T5220 work now.<br>

when in use, resulting in improved filesystem performance, and<br>
allowing for the effective use of a much larger buffer cache<br>
o A greatly improved implementation of malloc(3), the general purpose<br>
memory allocator, which catches more mistakes, reduces address space<br>
fragmentation, and is faster.<br>
o The statfs(2) system call has been enhanced to support large filesystems.<br>
o The strtof(3) function has been added to libc.<br>
o A lot of work has been done on libm to add several functions towards more<br>
C99 compliance.<br>

and the other to return a uniformly distributed random number<br>
without bias.<br>
<br>
- Install/Upgrade process changes:<br>

<br>
Even though the list is a summary of the most important changes<br>
made to OpenBSD, it still is a very very long list.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- SECURITY AND ERRATA --------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
We provide patches for known security threats and other important<br>
issues discovered after each CD release. As usual, between the<br>
creation of the OpenBSD 4.4 FTP/CD-ROM binaries and the actual 4.4<br>
release date, our team found and fixed some new reliability problems<br>
(note: most are minor and in subsystems that are not enabled by<br>
default). Our continued research into security means we will find<br>
new security problems -- and we always provide patches as soon as<br>
possible. Therefore, we advise regular visits to<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/security.html" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/security.html</a><br>
and<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html</a><br>
<br>
Security patch announcements are sent to the security-announce@OpenBSD.org<br>
mailing list. For information on OpenBSD mailing lists, please see:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/mail.html" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/mail.html</a><br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- CD-ROM SALES ---------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
OpenBSD 4.4 is also available on CD-ROM. The 3-CD set costs $50 CDN<br>
(EUR 50 including VAT) and is available via mail order and from a number<br>
of contacts around the world. The set includes a colourful booklet<br>
which carefully explains the installation of OpenBSD. A new set<br>
of cute little stickers is also included (sorry, but our FTP mirror<br>
sites do not support STP, the Sticker Transfer Protocol). As an<br>
added bonus, the second CD contains an audio track, a song entitled<br>
"Trial of the BSD Knights". MP3 and OGG versions of the audio track can<br>
be found on the first CD.<br>
<br>
Lyrics (and an explanation) for the songs may be found at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/lyrics.html#44" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/lyrics.html#44</a><br>
<br>
Profits from CD sales are the primary income source for the OpenBSD<br>
project -- in essence selling these CD-ROM units ensures that OpenBSD<br>
will continue to make another release six months from now.<br>
<br>
The OpenBSD 4.4 CD-ROMs are bootable on the following four platforms:<br>
<br>
o i386<br>
o amd64<br>
o macppc<br>
o sparc64<br>
<br>
(Other platforms must boot from floppy, network, or other method).<br>
<br>

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

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

<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- OPENBSD FOUNDATION ---------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
For those unable to make their contributions as straightforward gifts,<br>
the OpenBSD Foundation (<a href="http://www.openbsdfoundation.org" target="_blank">http://www.openbsdfoundation.org</a>) is a Canadian<br>
not-for-profit corporation that can accept larger contributions and<br>
issue receipts. In some situations, their receipt may qualify as a<br>
business expense writeoff, so this is certainly a consideration for<br>
some organizations or businesses. There may also be exposure benefits<br>
since the Foundation may be interested in participating in press releases.<br>
In turn, the Foundation then uses these contributions to assist OpenBSD's<br>
infrastructure needs. Contact the foundation directors at<br>
<a href="mailto:directors@openbsdfoundation.org">directors@openbsdfoundation.org</a> for more information.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- T-SHIRT SALES --------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The OpenBSD distribution companies also sell tshirts and polo shirts.<br>
And our users like them too. We have a variety of shirts available,<br>
with the new and old designs, from our web ordering system at:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://https.OpenBSD.org/cgi-bin/order" target="_blank">https://https.OpenBSD.org/cgi-bin/order</a><br>
<br>
and for Europe:<br>

<br>
The OpenBSD 4.4 t-shirts are available now. We also sell our older<br>
shirts, as well as a selection of OpenSSH t-shirts.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- FTP INSTALLS ---------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
If you choose not to buy an OpenBSD CD-ROM, OpenBSD can be easily<br>
installed via FTP. Typically you need a single small piece of boot<br>
media (e.g., a boot floppy) and then the rest of the files can be<br>
installed from a number of locations, including directly off the<br>
Internet. Follow this simple set of instructions to ensure that<br>
you find all of the documentation you will need while performing<br>
an install via FTP. With the CD-ROMs, the necessary documentation<br>
is easier to find.<br>
<br>
1) Read either of the following two files for a list of ftp<br>
mirrors which provide OpenBSD, then choose one near you:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/ftp.html" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/ftp.html</a><br>
<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/ftplist" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/ftplist</a><br>
<br>
As of November 1, 2008, the following ftp mirror sites have the 4.4 release:<br>
<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp.kd85.com/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.kd85.com/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/</a> Austria<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/</a> Sweden<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp2.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp2.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/</a> NYC, USA<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/</a> CO, USA<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/</a> CA, USA<br>
<a href="ftp://rt.fm/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/" target="_blank">ftp://rt.fm/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/</a> IL, USA<br>
<br>
The release is also available at the master site:<br>
<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/</a> Alberta, Canada<br>
<br>
However it is strongly suggested you use a mirror.<br>
<br>
Other mirror sites may take a day or two to update.<br>
<br>
2) Connect to that ftp mirror site and go into the directory<br>
pub/OpenBSD/4.4/ which contains these files and directories.<br>
This is a list of what you will see:<br>
<br>
ANNOUNCEMENT amd64/ macppc/ sys.tar.gz<br>
Changelogs/ armish/ mvme68k/ tools/<br>
HARDWARE ftplist packages/ vax/<br>
PACKAGES hp300/ ports.tar.gz xenocara.tar.gz<br>
PORTS hppa/ root.mail zaurus/<br>
README i386/ sparc/<br>
SIZES landisk/ sparc64/<br>
alpha/ mac68k/ src.tar.gz<br>
<br>
It is quite likely that you will want at LEAST the following<br>
files which apply to all the architectures OpenBSD supports.<br>
<br>
README - generic README<br>
HARDWARE - list of hardware we support<br>
PORTS - description of our "ports" tree<br>
PACKAGES - description of pre-compiled packages<br>
root.mail - a copy of root's mail at initial login.<br>
(This is really worthwhile reading).<br>
<br>
3) Read the README file. It is short, and a quick read will make<br>
sure you understand what else you need to fetch.<br>
<br>
4) Next, go into the directory that applies to your architecture,<br>
for example, i386. This is a list of what you will see:<br>
<br>
INSTALL.i386 cd44.iso floppyB44.fs pxeboot*<br>
INSTALL.linux cdboot* floppyC44.fs xbase44.tgz<br>
MD5 cdbr* game44.tgz xetc44.tgz<br>
base44.tgz cdemu44.iso index.txt xfont44.tgz<br>
bsd* comp44.tgz install44.iso xserv44.tgz<br>
<a href="http://bsd.mp" target="_blank">bsd.mp</a>* etc44.tgz man44.tgz xshare44.tgz<br>
bsd.rd* floppy44.fs misc44.tgz<br>
<br>
If you are new to OpenBSD, fetch _at least_ the file INSTALL.i386<br>
and the appropriate floppy*.fs or install44.iso files. Consult the<br>
INSTALL.i386 file if you don't know which of the floppy images<br>
you need (or simply fetch all of them).<br>
<br>
If you use the install44.iso file (roughly 200MB in size), then you<br>
do not need the various *.tgz files since they are contained on that<br>
one-step ISO-format install CD.<br>
<br>
5) If you are an expert, follow the instructions in the file called<br>
README; otherwise, use the more complete instructions in the<br>
file called INSTALL.i386. INSTALL.i386 may tell you that you<br>
need to fetch other files.<br>
<br>
6) Just in case, take a peek at:<br>

<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html</a><br>
<br>
This is the page where we talk about the mistakes we made while<br>
creating the 4.4 release, or the significant bugs we fixed<br>
post-release which we think our users should have fixes for.<br>
Patches and workarounds are clearly described there.<br>
<br>
Note: If you end up needing to write a raw floppy using Windows,<br>
you can use "fdimage.exe" located in the pub/OpenBSD/4.4/tools<br>
directory to do so.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- <a href="http://X.ORG" target="_blank">X.ORG</a> FOR MOST ARCHITECTURES -----------------------------------------<br>
<br>
X.Org has been integrated more closely into the system. This release<br>
contains X.Org <a href="http://7.3.0." target="_blank">7.3.0.</a> Most of our architectures ship with X.Org, including<br>
amd64, sparc, sparc64 and macppc. During installation, you can install<br>
X.Org quite easily. Be sure to try out xdm(1) and see how we have<br>
customized it for OpenBSD.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- PORTS TREE -----------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The OpenBSD ports tree contains automated instructions for building<br>
third party software. The software has been verified to build and<br>
run on the various OpenBSD architectures. The 4.4 ports collection,<br>
including many of the distribution files, is included on the 3-CD<br>
set. Please see the PORTS file for more information.<br>
<br>
Note: some of the most popular ports, e.g., the Apache web server<br>
and several X applications, come standard with OpenBSD. Also, many<br>
popular ports have been pre-compiled for those who do not desire<br>
to build their own binaries (see BINARY PACKAGES, below).<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- BINARY PACKAGES WE PROVIDE -------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
A large number of binary packages are provided. Please see the PACKAGES<br>
file (<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/PACKAGES" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/PACKAGES</a>) for more details.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- SYSTEM SOURCE CODE ---------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The CD-ROMs contain source code for all the subsystems explained<br>
above, and the README (<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/README" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/README</a>)<br>
file explains how to deal with these source files. For those who<br>
are doing an FTP install, the source code for all four subsystems<br>
can be found in the pub/OpenBSD/4.4/ directory:<br>
<br>
xenocara.tar.gz ports.tar.gz src.tar.gz sys.tar.gz<br>
