5  
6 + 20110208:
7 +        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
8 +
9 + 20110206:
10 +        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
11 +
12 + 20110205:
13 +        OpenSSH 5.7p1
14 +
15 +        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
16 +
17 + 20110203:
18 +        one true awk 20100523 imported
19 +
20 +        sqlite 3.7.5
21 +
22 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
23 +
24 + 20110202:
25 +        tcsh 6.17.00
26 +
27 +        file  5.05
28 +
29 + 20110122:
30 +        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
31 +        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
32 +
33 + 20110120:
34 +        BIND 9.6.2-P3
35 +
36 +        sudo 1.7.4-p6
37 +
38 + 20110115:
39 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
40 +
41 + 20101130:
42 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
43 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
44 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
45 +
46 + 20101120:
47 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
48 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
49 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
50 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
51 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
52 +
53 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
54 +
55 + 20101110:
56 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
57 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
58 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
59 +
60 + 20101021:
61 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
62 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
63 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
64 +
65 + 20100920:
66 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
67 +
68 + 20100905:
69 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
70 +        for 0.4.
71 +
72 + 20100902:
73 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
74 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
75 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
76 +
77 + 20100822:
78 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
79 +
80 + 20100814:
81 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
82 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
83 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
84 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
85 +        may not like.
86 +
87 + 20100713:
88 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
89 +
90 + 20100704:
91 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
92 +
93 + 20100505:
94 +        zlib 1.2.5
95 +
96 + 20100430:
97 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
98 +
99 + 20100321:
100 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
101 +
102 + 20100319:
103 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
104 +
105 + 20100317:
106 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
107 +        Mexico.
108 +
109 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
110 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
111 +
112 + 20100313:
113 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
114 +
115 + 20100312:
116 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
117 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
118 +
119 + 20100311:
120 +        mksh R39c
121 +
122 + 20100309:
123 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
124 +
125 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
126 +
127 +        mksh R39b
128 +
129 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
130 +
131 + 20100206:
132 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
133 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
134 +
135 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
136 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
137 +
138 + 20100204:
139 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
140 +        segfaulting.  
141 +
142 + 20100116:
143 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
144 +
145 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
146 +
147 + 20100110:
148 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
149 +
150 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
151 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
152 +        older current systems.
153 +
154 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
155 +
156 + 20100106:
157 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
158 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
159 +
160 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
161 +
162 + 20091228:
163 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
164 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
165 +
166 + 20091205:
167 +        OpenSSL security fix
168 +
169 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
170 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
171 +
172 + 20091128:
173 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
174 +
175 + 20091126:
176 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
177 +
178 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
179 +
180 +        mksh R39
181 +
182 + 20091124:
183 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
184 +
185 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
186 +
187 + 20091010:
188 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
189 +        to test current.
190 +
191 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
192 +        on amd64 systems.
193 +
194 + 20091006:
195 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
196 +        Argentina changes.
197 +
198 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
199 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
200 +
201 + 20090919:
202 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
203 +
204 + 20090729:
205 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
206 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
207 +
208 + 20090606:
209 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
210 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
211 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
212 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
213 +
214 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
215 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
216 +        system which makes no sense.
217 +
218 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
219 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
220 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
221 +        an external device.
222 +
223 + 20090520:
224 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
225 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
226 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
227 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
228 +        out my new Phenom too.
229 +
230 + 20090502:
231 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
232 +
233 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
234 +
235 + 20090501:
236 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
237 +
238 + 20090422:
239 +        OpenSSL security update
240 +
241 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
242 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
243 +
244 + 20090415:
245 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
246 +
247 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
248 +
249 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
250 +        tools to fail.
251 +
252 + 20090405:
253 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
254 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
255 +        add
256 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
257 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
258 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
259 +
260 + 20090403:
261 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
262 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
263 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
264 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
265 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
266 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
267 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
268 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
269 +
270 + 20090328:
271 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
272 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
273 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
274 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
275 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
276 +        an optional build parameter.  
277 +
278 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
279 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
280 +
281 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
282 +        default for login and profile.
283 +
284 + 20090327:
285 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
286 +
287 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
288 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
289 +        on mports.
290 +
291 + 20090325:
292 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
293 +
294 +        Update mksh to R36b
295 +
296 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
297 +
298 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
299 +
300 + 20090115:
301 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
302 +
303 + 20090110:
304 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
305 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
306 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
307 +
308 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
309 +        affected.
310 +
311 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
312 +
313 + 20090104:
314 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
315 +
316 + 20090101:
317 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
318 +
319 + 20081231:
320 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
321 +        properly initialized.
322 +
323 +        Happy 2009.
324 +
325 + 20081206:
326 +        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
327 +        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
328 +        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
329 +        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.  
330 +
331 +        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
332 +        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
333 +
334 +        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
335 +
336 +        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
337 +        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
338 +        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
339 +        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
340 +        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
341 +
342 + 20081204:
343 +        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
344 +        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
345 +        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
346 +        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
347 +        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
348 +
349 +        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
350 +        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
351 +        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
352 +        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
353 +        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
354 +
355 + 20080905:
356 +        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
357 +
358   20080801:
359          Import OpenBSM 1.0
