All,

the import went through smoothly and you should be able to get it from a=20
cvs(up) server near you by now.  Some general, random notes:

1) Anchor syntax changed
| Users of authpf(8) must change their anchor rule in the main ruleset from=
=20
|   anchor authpf
| to=20
|   anchor "authpf/*"

2) pfsync takes syncdev instead of syncif: When configuring the pfsync devi=
ce,=20
use 'syncdev' instead of the deprecated keyword 'syncif'.=20
3) authpf(8) needs a mounted fdescfs(5)
4) synproxy no longer works on outgoing rules (it never should have)
5) The code has been tested, but there is always a chance that some bugs=20
remain unfound.  If you spot anything, please let me know.

=46eatures that are in OpenBSD, but not yet in FreeBSD:
=A0- Filtering on route labels (we don't have any).
=A0- Return-rst on IP-less bridges (bridge support is still behind; There i=
s=20
=A0 =A0work ongoing to improve this as well, though.).
=A0- Congestion prevention/graceful comeback (subject to future work).

New features (from the OpenBSD release announcements):
