I notice the new Broadcom Wifi bwfm(4) drivers. Anyone with better knowledge of the project know what hardware is supported by that? The manpage doesn't mention specific chips: https://man.openbsd.org/bwfm.4

http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/pci/if_...

indicates:

  static const struct pci_matchid bwfm_pci_devices[] = {
	  { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, PCI_PRODUCT_BROADCOM_BCM43602 },
	  { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, PCI_PRODUCT_BROADCOM_BCM4350 },
  };

those are hex codes defined in:

http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/pci/pci...

as:

  vendor	BROADCOM	0x14e4	Broadcom
  product BROADCOM BCM4350	0x43a3	BCM4350
  product BROADCOM BCM43602	0x43ba	BCM43602

so if you're not sure, checking boot up dmesg on OpenBSD or lspci on linux should give the hexcode of your device which should match 0x14e4 + one of the other two..

Busy upgrading machines now, lots of nice new things.

Looking forward to checking out the new execpromises in pledge. I use pledge in all my C stuff and have added it to a few other apps. Thanks OpenBSD devs!

sshd(8): Add "expiry-time" option for authorized_keys files to allow for expiring keys. -- hooray!

Can someone help explain what the "routing domain" is?

You can have multiple routing tables (similar to VRFs on networking gear) which are classified into routing domains and assign different rdomains to different applications. See rdomain(4): https://man.openbsd.org/rdomain.4
