->
+20111004:
->
+        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
->
+        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
->
+        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
-+
+20111001:
-+
+        Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
-+
+        now default and an environment variable must be set to use
-+
+        active.
-+
-+
+20110930:
-+
+        Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
-+
+        USB cameras.  Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
-+
-+
+        Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
-+
+        Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
-+
+        when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
-+
+        offloading.
-+
-+
+        Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
-+
+        working with large raid3 sets.
-+
-+
+        Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
-+
-+
+20110929:
-+
+        Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
-+
-+
+        The following modules are no longer available, and should be
-+
+        removed from loader.conf:
-+
+        ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
-+
-+
+        alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
-+
+        required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
-+
+        a connection could be established.  Disable hibernation.
-+
-+
+20110928:
-+
+        Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
-+
+        files that are corrupted.
-+
-+
+        Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
-+
-+
+20110917:
-+
+        Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
-+
+        it's in the base system.
-+
-+
+20110914:
-+
+        Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
-+
-+
+20110813:
-+
+        synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
-+
-+
+20110806:
-+
+        sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
-+
-+
+        msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added.  msearch(1) provides
-+
+        a full text search command line tool.  libmsearch can also be used
-+
+        to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
-+
+        index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
-+
+        /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool.  Full text indexes take considerable
-+
+        space in /var.  I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
-+
-+
+        Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
-+
+        versions.  This will be obsolete with mport though.
-+
-+
+20110710:
-+
+        kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
-+
+        know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
-+
-+
+        Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
-+
-+
+20110709:
-+
+        cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
-+
+        with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
-+
-+
+20110612:
-+
+        Update mksh to R40
-+
-+
+        Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x.  Good to run when
-+
+        updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
-+
-+
+20110528:
-+
+        Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x.  This affects caching resolvers.
-+
-+
+20110526:
-+
+        newfs:
-+
+        Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
-+
+K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
-+
-+
+        This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
-+
+        hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
-+
+        have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes.  Of course
-+
+        the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
-+
-+
+20110521:
-+
+        mport tool now has a deleteall command.  This can be used to remove
-+
+        all packages from a system.
-+
-+
+        A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
-+
-+
+20110518:
-+
+        Perl 5.14.0
-+
-+
+20110517:
-+
+        Sendmail 8.14.5
-+
-+
+20110314:
-+
+        DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
-+
-+
+        cdevpriv wrappers added
-+
-+
+        nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
-+
-+
+        dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
-+
-+
+20110308:
-+
+        Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
-+
-+
+        Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
-+
-+
+        "OSREVISION 4004"
-+
-+
+        nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
-+
-+
+        tzdata2011c
-+
-+
+20110220:
-+
+        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
-+
-+
+20110219:
-+
+        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
-+
-+
+20110217:
-+
+        Perl 5.10.1 imported
-+
-+
+20110216:
-+
+        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
-+
+        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
-+
+        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
-+
+        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
-+
-+
+        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
-+
-+
+20110215:
-+
+        age(4) added.
-+
-+
+20110208:
-+
+        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
-+
-+
+20110206:
-+
+        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
-+
-+
+20110205:
-+
+        OpenSSH 5.7p1
-+
-+
+        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
-+
-+
+20110203:
-+
+        one true awk 20100523 imported
-+
-+
+        sqlite 3.7.5
-+
-+
+        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
-+
-+
+20110202:
-+
+        tcsh 6.17.00
-+
-+
+        file 5.05
-+
-+
+20110122:
-+
+        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
-+
+        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
-+
-+
+20110120:
-+
+        BIND 9.6.2-P3
-+
-+
+        sudo 1.7.4-p6
-+
-+
+20110115:
-+
+        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
-+
-+
+20101130:
-+
+        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
-+
+        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
-+
+        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
-+
-+
+20101120:
-+
+        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
-+
+        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
-+
+        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
-+
+        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
-+
+        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
-+
-+
+        newfs and growfs was also modified.
-+
-+
+20101110:
-+
+        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
-+
+        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
-+
+        systems such as procfs for instance.
-+
-+
+20101021:
-+
+        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
-+
+        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
-+
+        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
-+
-+
+20100920:
-+
+        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
-+
-+
+20100905:
-+
+        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
-+
+        for 0.4.
-+
-+
+20100902:
-+
+        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
-+
+        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
-+
+        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
-+
-+
+20100822:
-+
+        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
-+
-+
+20100814:
-+
+        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
-+
+        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
-+
+        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
-+
+        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
-+
+        may not like.
-+
-+
+20100713:
-+
+        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
-+
-+
+20100704:
-+
+        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
-+
-+
+20100505:
-+
+        zlib 1.2.5
-+
-+
+20100430:
-+
+        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
-+
-+
+20100321:
-+
+        Update zlib to 1.2.4
-+
-+
+20100319:
-+
+        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
-+
-+
+20100317:
-+
+        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
-+
+        Mexico.
-+
-+
+        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
-+
+        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
-+
-+
+20100313:
-+
+        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
-+
-+
+20100312:
-+
+        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
-+
+        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
-+
-+
+20100311:
-+
+        mksh R39c
-+
-+
+20100309:
-+
+        Sudo 1.7.2p5
-+
-+
+        sqlite3 3.6.23
-+
-+
+        mksh R39b
-+
-+
+        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
-+
-+
+20100206:
-+
+        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
-+
+        properly pass arguments to ld.
-+
-+
+        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
-+
+        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
-+
-+
+20100204:
-+
+        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
-+
+        segfaulting.
-+
-+
+20100116:
-+
+        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
-+
-+
+        BIND 9.6.1-P2
-+
-+
+20100110:
-+
+        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
-+
-+
+        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
-+
+        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
-+
+        older current systems.
-+
-+
+        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
-+
-+
+20100106:
-+
+        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
-+
+        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
-+
-+
+        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
-+
-+
+20091228:
-+
+        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
-+
+        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
-+
-+
+20091205:
-+
+        OpenSSL security fix
-+
-+
+        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
-+
+        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
-+
-+
+20091128:
-+
+        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
-+
-+
+20091126:
-+
+        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
-+
-+
+        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
-+
-+
+        mksh R39
-+
-+
+20091124:
-+
+        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
-+
-+
+        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
-+
-+
+20091010:
-+
+        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
-+
+        to test current.
-+
-+
+        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
-+
+        on amd64 systems.
-+
-+
+20091006:
-+
+        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
-+
+        Argentina changes.
-+
-+
+        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
-+
+        sbin and usr.sbin.
-+
-+
+20090919:
-+
+        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
-+
-+
+20090729:
-+
+        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
-+
+        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
-+
-+
+20090606:
-+
+        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
-+
+        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
-+
+        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
-+
+        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
-+
-+
+        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
-+
+        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
-+
+        system which makes no sense.
-+
-+
+        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
-+
+        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
-+
+        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
-+
+        an external device.
-+
-+
+20090520:
-+
+        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
-+
+        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
-+
+        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
-+
+        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
-+
+        out my new Phenom too.
-+
-+
+20090502:
-+
+        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
-+
-+
+        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
-+
-+
+20090501:
-+
+        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
-+
-+
+20090422:
-+
+        OpenSSL security update
-+
-+
+        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
-+
+of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
-+
-+
+20090415:
-+
+        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
-+
-+
+        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
-+
-+
+        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
-+
+        tools to fail.
-+
-+
+20090405:
-+
+        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
-+
+        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
-+
+        add
-+
+                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
-+
+        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
-+
+        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
-+
-+
+20090403:
-+
+        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
-+
+        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
-+
+        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
-+
+        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
-+
+        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
-+
+        testing by users and developers of mksh without
-+
+        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
-+
+        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
-+
-+
+20090328:
-+
+        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
-+
+        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
-+
+        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
-+
+        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
-+
+        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
-+
+        an optional build parameter.
-+
-+
+        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
-+
+        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
-+
-+
+        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
-+
+        default for login and profile.
-+
-+
+20090327:
-+
+        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
-+
-+
+        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
-+
+        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
-+
+        on mports.
-+
-+
+20090325:
-+
+        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
-+
-+
+        Update mksh to R36b
-+
-+
+        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
-+
-+
+        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
-+
-+
+20090115:
-+
+        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
-+
-+
+20090110:
-+
+        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
-+
+        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
-+
+        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
-+
-+
+        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
-+
+        affected.
-+
-+
+        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
-+
-+
+20090104:
-+
+        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
-+
-+
+20090101:
-+
+        Update time zone data to 2008i.
-+
-+
+20081231:
-+
+        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
-+
+        properly initialized.
-+
-+
+        Happy 2009.
-+
-+
+20081206:
-+
+        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
-+
+        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
-+
+        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
-+
+        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.
-+
-+
+        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
-+
+        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
-+
-+
+        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
-+
-+
+        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
-+
+        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
-+
+        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
-+
+        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
-+
+        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
-+
-+
+20081204:
-+
+        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
-+
+        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
-+
+        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
-+
+        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
-+
+        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
-+
-+
+        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
-+
+        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
-+
+        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
-+
+        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
-+
+        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
-+
-+
+20080905:
-+
+        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
-+
-+
+20080801:
-+
+        Import OpenBSM 1.0
-+
-+
+        Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
-+
-+
+        etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
-+
-+
+        Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
-+
-+
+        The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
-+
-+
+20080703:
-+
+        pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
-+
+        or posibly jails.
-+
-+
+20080627:
-+
+        Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
-+
-+
+        Add glabel to GENERIC.
-+
-+
+        Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
-+
-+
+        pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
-+
-+
+        ath added to GENERIC.  (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
-+
-+
+20080528:
-+
+        Sendmail 8.14.3
-+
-+
+20080516:
-+
+        ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
-+
+        were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
-+
+        few years.  sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
-+
+        option.
-+
-+
+        The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
-+
-+
+20080514:
-+
+        Fixed a number of problems with pcc.  It is not yet connected
-+
+        to the build, but usable on i386 hosts.  You may use it
-+
+        by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc.  It will
-+
+        install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
-+
+        GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
-+
-+
+        System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
-+
+        on MidnightBSD.  bin/cp will work now for instance.
-+
-+
+20080430:
-+
+        __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc.  This can be tested
-+
+        to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
-+
-+
+20080429:
-+
+        Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
-+
-+
+        libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier

-+
-+
+        Alias added for core2 cpus.
-+
-+
+        Alpha and PC98 only utilities removed from usr/sbin
-+
-+
+        syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
-+
+        improved.  See the man pages for info.
-+
-+

-+
+        See mailwrapper fix.
-+
-+
