Announce: OpenSSH 6.2 released

Damien Miller — 2013-03-22T00:40:40


Changes since OpenSSH 6.1
=========================

This release introduces a number of new features:

Features:

 * ssh(1)/sshd(8): Added support for AES-GCM authenticated encryption in
   SSH protocol 2. The new cipher is available as aes128-gcm< at >openssh.com
   and aes256-gcm< at >openssh.com. It uses an identical packet format to the
   AES-GCM mode specified in RFC 5647, but uses simpler and different
   selection rules during key exchange.

 * ssh(1)/sshd(8): Added support for encrypt-then-mac (EtM) MAC modes
   for SSH protocol 2. These modes alter the packet format and compute
   the MAC over the packet length and encrypted packet rather than over
   the plaintext data. These modes are considered more secure and are
   used by default when available.

 * ssh(1)/sshd(8): Added support for the UMAC-128 MAC as
   "umac-128< at >openssh.com" and "umac-128-etm< at >openssh.com". The latter
   being an encrypt-then-mac mode.

 * sshd(8): Added support for multiple required authentication in SSH
   protocol 2 via an Auth

OpenBSD 5.2 Released

Bob Beck — 2012-11-01T16:47:18

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- OpenBSD 5.2 RELEASED -------------------------------------------------

November 1, 2012.

We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 5.2.
This is our 32nd release on CD-ROM (and 33rd via FTP).  We remain
proud of OpenBSD's record of more than ten years with only two remote
holes in the default install.

As in our previous releases, 5.2 provides significant improvements,
including new features, in nearly all areas of the system:

 - pthreads(3) support:
   o The most significant change in this release is the replacement of the
     user-level uthreads by kernel-level rthreads, allowing multithreaded
     programs to utilize multiple CPUs/cores.
   o Use PTHREAD_MUTEX_STRICT_NP as default mutex type.
   o Added pthread spinlock and barrier routines.
   o Added pthread_mutex_timedlock(3) and sem_timedwait(3).
   o Added pthread_condattr_setclock(3).
   o Added support for live multi-threaded debugging in gdb(1).
   o Im

OpenBSD mailing list policy change

Todd C. Miller — 2012-10-31T15:35:51

Since its inception, the OpenBSD mailing lists have allowed postings
from any address, regardless of whether or not the sender was a
member of the mailing list.  As the years have gone by, more and
more spam has gotten through, evading both grey listing and
SpamAssassin.

To address this problem, the OpenBSD list server will start requiring
that posts be made from an address that is subscribed to the mailing
list, or an address that is marked as an "alias" in the sender's
majordomo settings.  Messages that don't meet this criteria will
have to be confirmed by the sender (not the moderator) via an
automated message sent by the list server.

This change will take effect the morning of November 1, shortly
after OpenBSD 5.2 is released.

I realize that there are a number of people who post from an address
different from the one that they are subscribed with.  It is easy
to add extra addresses as "aliases" in your majordomo settings which
will allow you to post from that address without requiring confirmation.

Todd C. Miller — 2012-10-18T14:24:43

The machine room the mailing list server resides in will be undergoing
maintenance on the 20th from 5am to 7pm MDT.  As a result, the
OpenBSD mailing lists will be unavailable for part (possibly all)
of that time.

pre-orders activate for OpenBSD 5.1

Theo de Raadt — 2012-03-14T02:47:24

It is that time again.  I have just activated pre-orders for CDs,
tshirts, and posters for the 5.1 release -- due May 1.

    http://openbsd.org/orders.html
    
At the same time, I am making available the song that will come out
with the release (hmm, it is still moving out to the ftp mirrors at
the moment, but that is ok).  The song and details of it are linked
from:

    http://openbsd.org/lyrics.html

And there is something else.  Five years ago we made available an
Audio CD that contained 5 years of songs.  Well, we have made a new
audio CD since enough new songs have been made.  It is not very
expensive, so please consider buying this as well when you place any
order.  It has some rather nice liner notes.  Had some great fun
coming up with the cover for that CD:

   http://openbsd.org/images/cdaudio2.gif 
    
I'd also like you remind you that Michael Lucas new "SSH Mastery" book
is also now available, in case anyone was waiting for the 5.1 release
to place one order.

This is our 28th release on CD-ROM (and 29th via FTP).  We remain
proud of OpenBSD's record of more than ten years with only two remote
holes in the default install.

       - ACPI-based suspend/resume works on most machines with
         Intel/ATI video. Machines using NVidia graphics will not
         resume the graphics.  cardbus(4) and pcmcia(4) will still
         have some problems, too.

 - Improved hardware support, including:
    o New acpisony(4) driver for Sony ACPI control.
    o New itherm(4) driver for Intel 3400 temperature sensor.

MeetBSD California 2010 in ONE WEEK!

Matt Olander — 2010-10-29T18:57:56

Come discuss all the BSD flavors with your peers next week at MeetBSD
California! It's on Friday and Saturday, November 5th & 6th at
Hacker Dojo, in Mountain View, California, USA.

We have an interactive Unconference on the first day. This means that
the attendees will get to decide the topics in real time.
For the second day, a more traditional format of speakers and
works-in-progress will be followed. It's highly hackable, informative,
and fun.

Of course, a legendary BSD-party featuring special guests, activities,
and entertainment will occur Saturday evening at the Dojo ;)

Thanks to our generous sponsors, the cost is only $25 USD which includes
snacks, lunches, and admission to the after-party.


If you are planning on attending, please reserve your space now:

See you there!
