			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We knew it was coming. <strong>OpenBSD 4.6</strong> is now <a href="http://www.openbsd.com/46.html" target="_blank">available</a> with lots of new features. Except for the several improved hardware support and other improvements, this release includes a few worth-mentioning improvements concerning the <strong>pf</strong> (Packet Filter), a default system&#8217;s software aka <em>one of the most advanced firewall software</em>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Enabled <strong>pf</strong> by default in the rc.conf.</li>
<li>Removed <strong>pf</strong> scrub rules, and only do one kind of packet reassembly.       Rulesets with scrub rules need to be modified because of this.</li>
<li>Regular rules can now have per-rule scrub options.</li>
<li>Added new &#8220;match&#8221; keyword which only applies rule options but does       not change the current pass/block state.</li>
<li>Make all <strong>pf</strong> operations transactional to improve atomicity of reloads.</li>
<li>Stricter <strong>pf</strong> checking for ICMP and ICMPv6 packets.</li>
<li>Various improvements to <strong>pfsync</strong> to lower sync traffic bandwidth and       optionally allow active-active firewall setups.</li>
<li>Fix <strong>pf</strong> scrub max-mss for IPv6 traffic.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can find more details about all the new features shipping with this release <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/46.html#new" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Last but not least, as <em>Jeremy S. Anderson</em> said:</p>
<blockquote><p>There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don&#8217;t believe this to be a coincidence.</p></blockquote>
