(downgrade, as it were.) snapshots are twitchy things, if you use them you really need to pay close attention to what is going on. cel -- Christopher Linn | By no means shall either the CEC System Administrator II | or MTU be held in any way liable Center for Experimental Computation | for any opinions or conjecture I Michigan Technological University | hold to or imply to hold herein.

Re: OpenBSD 4.3 released May 1, 2008
Well, it should work if your snapshot is pre-4.3. The FAQ says that upgrades should work if your current release is minus one from the release you are upgrading to. > > Ok, so to clarify, I was running a snapshot on my macppc machine. > > I've been finding it a bit slow, but nice enough, bnut with the release > "realeased" as it were, I should now rebuild the kernel/userland to > incorporate the changes? > > Sorry if this is in the FAQ somewhere, I've been unable to find it. > > Cheers > > > Rich Healey

I've been finding it a bit slow, but nice enough, bnut with the release "realeased" as it were, I should now rebuild the kernel/userland to incorporate the changes?

OpenBSD 4.3 released May 1, 2008
May 1, 2008. We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 4.3. This is our 23nd release on CD-ROM (and 24rd 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, 4.3 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system: - New/extended platforms: o OpenBSD/sparc64. SMP support. This should work on all supported systems, with the exception of the Sun Enterprise 1. o OpenBSD/hppa. K-class servers like the K200 and K410 are supported now. o OpenBSD/mvme88k SMP support on MVME188 and MVME188A systems. 88110 processor, and thus MVME197LE/SP/DP boards, are supported now. o OpenBSD/sgi. Contains many new drivers, however the kernel requires an important errata fix. - Improved hardware support, including: o The bge(4) driver now supports BCM5906/BCM5906M 10/100 and BCM5755 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet devices. o The cas(4) driver now supports Cassini+ 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet devices. o The em(4) driver now supports ICH9 10/100 and 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet devices. o The gem(4) driver now supports the onboard 1000base-SX interface on the Sun Fire V880 server. o The ixgb(4) driver now supports the Sun 10Gb PCI-X Ethernet devices. o The msk(4) driver now supports Yukon FE+ 10/100 and Yukon Supreme 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet devices. o The nfe(4) driver now supports MCP73, MCP77 and MCP79 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet devices. o The ral(4) driver now supports RT2800 based wireless network devices. o The cmpci(4) driver now supports CMI8768 based audio adapters. o The it(4) driver now supports ITE IT8705F/8712F/8716F/8718F/8726F and SiS SiS950 ICs. Watchdog timer functionality added. o The mfi(4) driver now supports Dell CERC6/PERC6 and LSI SAS1078 RAID controllers. o The viapm(4) driver now supports the VIA VT8237S south bridges SMBus controller. o Support for hotplugging ExpressCard devices has been added. o New amdpcib(4) driver for the AMD-8111 series LPC bridge and timecounter on amd64. o New pctr(4) driver for the CPU performance counters on amd64. o New bwi(4) driver for the Broadcom AirForce IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device. o New envy(4) driver for the VIA Envy24 audio device. o New et(4) driver for the Agere/LSI ET1310 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet device. o New etphy(4) driver for the Agere/LSI ET1011 TruePHY Gigabit Ethernet PHY. o New amdpcib(4) driver for the AMD-8111 series LPC bridge and timecounter on i386. o New glxpcib(4) driver for the AMD CS5536 PCI-ISA bridge with timecounter, watchdog timer, and GPIO on i386. o New iwn(4) driver for the Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN IEEE 802.11a/b/g/Draft-N wireless network device. o New msts(4) line discipline to interface Meinberg Standard Time String devices and to provide a timedelta sensor. o New gbe(4) driver for the SGI Graphics Back End (GBE) Frame Buffer on sgi. o New mkbc(4) driver for the Moosehead PS/2 Controller on sgi. o New power(4) driver for the power button on sgi. o New ecadc(4) driver for the Environmental Monitoring Subsystem temperature sensor on sparc64. o New tda(4) driver for the fan controller on the Sun Blade 1000/2000, making these machines much less noisy. o New spdmem(4) driver retrieves information about memory modules. o New thmc(4) driver for the TI THMC50, Analog ADM1022/1028 temperature sensor. o New uchcom(4) driver for the WinChipHead CH341/340 based USB serial adapter. o New umbg(4) driver for the Meinberg Funkuhren USB5131 radio clock to provide a timedelta sensor. o New upgt(4) driver for the Conexant/Intersil PrismGT SoftMAC USB IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device. o New wbng(4) driver for the Winbond W83793G temperature, voltage, and fan sensor. o New wbsio(4) driver for the Winbond LPC Super I/O ICs. o New adl(4) driver for the Andigilog aSC7621 temperature, voltage, and fan sensor. o The siop(4) driver now supports the (non-PCI) NCR 53c720/770 in big-endian mode. o New lmn(4) driver for the National Semiconductor LM93 sensor. - New tools: o snmpd(8), implementing the Simple Network Management Protocol. o The snmpctl(8) program controls the SNMP daemon. o The pcidump(8) utility displays the device address, vendor, and product name of PCI devices. o ldattach(8) is used to attach a line discipline to a serial line to allow for in-kernel processing of the received and/or sent data. - New functionality: o eeprom(8) is now able to display the OpenPROM device tree on systems that have it. o Support for X11 on sg
