17 > 20110928:
18 >        MidnightBSD 0.3-RELEASE-p3
19  
20 +        Security hole in compress and gzip with malformed
21 +        .Z files can cause an infinite loop in these utilities.
22 +
23 +        Validate paths for unix domain sockets.
24 +
25 + 20110528:
26 +        MidnightBSD 0.3-RELEASE-p2
27 +
28 +        Fix a critical security hole in BIND 9.6.x, CVE-2011-1910, with caching resolvers.
29 +
30 + 20110203:
31 +        MidnightBSD 0.3-RELEASE-p1
32 +
33 +        Fix the sqlite3.pc file so that it reports the proper version of sqlite3.  This shouldn't
34 +        cause any functional changes with mports or the release.
35 +
36 + 20110128:
37 +        MidnightBSD 0.3-RELEASE
38 +
39 + 20110124:
40 +        pkg_add migrated to release pkg path.
41 +
42 + 20110123:
43 +        Fix a bug in netwait that prints error messages when booting up. netwait is a
44 +        rc.conf(5) var that allows you to wait for network link to come up on a specific
45 +        interface and/or ip address before booting the system.
46 +
47 + 20101130:
48 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
49 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
50 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
51 +
52 + 20101110:
53 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
54 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
55 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
56 +
57 + 20101008:
58 +        A bug in glob(3) results in uncontrolled memory usage causing a possible
59 +        DOS attach in sftpd and ftpd.  Rework the glob logic, fix the man page
60 +        and enable the fix in sftp.c and sftp-glob.c
61 +
62 + 20100920:
63 +        Security update for bzip2 integer overflow
64 +
65 + 20100906:
66 +        Remove xz from the base system.  This will be developed in current.
67 +
68 +        RELENG_0_3 created.
69 +
70 + 20100902:
71 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
72 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
73 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
74 +
75 + 20100822:
76 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
77 +
78 + 20100814:
79 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
80 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
81 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
82 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
83 +        may not like.
84 +
85 + 20100713:
86 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
87 +
88 + 20100704:
89 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
90 +
91 + 20100505:
92 +        zlib 1.2.5
93 +
94 + 20100430:
95 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
96 +
97 + 20100321:
98 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
99 +
100 + 20100319:
101 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
102 +
103 + 20100317:
104 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
105 +        Mexico.
106 +
107 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
108 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
109 +
110 + 20100313:
111 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
112 +
113 + 20100312:
114 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
115 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
116 +
117 + 20100311:
118 +        mksh R39c
119 +
120 + 20100309:
121 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
122 +
123 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
124 +
125 +        mksh R39b
126 +
127 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
128 +
129 + 20100206:
130 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
131 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
132 +
133 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
134 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
135 +
136 + 20100204:
137 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
138 +        segfaulting.  
139 +
140 + 20100116:
141 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
142 +
143 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
144 +
145 + 20100110:
146 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
147 +
148 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
149 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
150 +        older current systems.
151 +
152 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
153 +
154 + 20100106:
155 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
156 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
157 +
158 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
159 +
160 + 20091228:
161 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
162 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
163 +
164 + 20091205:
165 +        OpenSSL security fix
166 +
167 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
168 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
169 +
170 + 20091128:
171 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
172 +
173 + 20091126:
174 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
175 +
176 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
177 +
178 +        mksh R39
179 +
180 + 20091124:
181 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
182 +
183 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
184 +
185 + 20091010:
186 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
187 +        to test current.
188 +
189 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
190 +        on amd64 systems.
191 +
192 + 20091006:
193 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
194 +        Argentina changes.
195 +
196 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
197 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
198 +
199 + 20090919:
200 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
201 +
202 + 20090729:
203 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
204 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
205 +
206 + 20090606:
207 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
208 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
209 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
210 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
211 +
212 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
213 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
214 +        system which makes no sense.
215 +
216 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
217 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
218 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
219 +        an external device.
220 +
221 + 20090520:
222 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
223 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
224 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
225 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
226 +        out my new Phenom too.
227 +
228 + 20090502:
229 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
230 +
231 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
232 +
233 + 20090501:
234 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
235 +
236 + 20090422:
237 +        OpenSSL security update
238 +
239 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
240 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
241 +
242 + 20090415:
243 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
244 +
245 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
246 +
247 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
248 +        tools to fail.
249 +
250 + 20090405:
251 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
252 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
253 +        add
254 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
255 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
256 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
257 +
258 + 20090403:
259 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
260 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
261 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
262 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
263 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
264 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
265 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
266 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
267 +
268 + 20090328:
269 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
270 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
271 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
272 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
273 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
274 +        an optional build parameter.  
275 +
276 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
277 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
278 +
279 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
280 +        default for login and profile.
281 +
282 + 20090327:
283 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
284 +
285 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
286 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
287 +        on mports.
288 +
289 + 20090325:
290 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
291 +
292 +        Update mksh to R36b
293 +
294 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
295 +
296 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
297 +
298 + 20090115:
299 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
300 +
301 + 20090110:
302 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
303 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
304 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
305 +
306 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
307 +        affected.
308 +
309 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
310 +
311 + 20090104:
312 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
313 +
314 + 20090101:
315 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
316 +
317 + 20081231:
318 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
319 +        properly initialized.
320 +
321 +        Happy 2009.
322 +
323 + 20081206:
324 +        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
325 +        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
326 +        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
327 +        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.  
328 +
329 +        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
330 +        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
331 +
332 +        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
333 +
334 +        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
335 +        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
336 +        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
337 +        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
338 +        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
339 +
340 + 20081204:
341 +        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
342 +        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
343 +        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
344 +        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
345 +        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
346 +
347 +        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
348 +        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
349 +        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
350 +        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
351 +        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
352 +
353 + 20080905:
354 +        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
355 +
356 + 20080801:
357 +        Import OpenBSM 1.0
358 +
359 +        Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
360 +
361 +        etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
362 +
363 +        Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
364 +
365 +        The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
366 +
367 + 20080703:
368 +        pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
369 +        or posibly jails.
370 +
371 + 20080627:
372 +        Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
373 +
374 +        Add glabel to GENERIC.
375 +
376 +        Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
377 +
378 +        pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
379 +
380 +        ath added to GENERIC.  (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
381 +
382 + 20080528:
383 +        Sendmail 8.14.3
384 +
385 + 20080516:
386 +        ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
387 +        were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
388 +        few years.  sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
389 +        option.
390 +
391 +        The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
392 +
393 + 20080514:
394 +        Fixed a number of problems with pcc.  It is not yet connected
395 +        to the build, but usable on i386 hosts.  You may use it
396 +        by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc.  It will
397 +        install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
398 +        GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
399 +
400 +        System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
401 +        on MidnightBSD.  bin/cp will work now for instance.
402 +
403 + 20080430:
404 +        __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc.  This can be tested
405 +        to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
406 +
407 + 20080429:
408 +        Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
409 +
410 +        libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier
411 +        
412 +        pcvt(4) removed!
413 +
414 +        Alias added for core2 cpus.
415 +
416 +        Alpha and PC98 only utilities removed from usr/sbin
417 +
418 +        syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
419 +        improved.  See the man pages for info.
420 +
421 +        periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
422 +        See mailwrapper fix.
423 +
424 + 20080410:
425 +        Sync cpdup with DragonFly.  Add parallel transaction support and
426 +        -l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.
427 +
428 + 20080406:
429 +        Import bzip2 1.05
430 +        Import OpenSSH 4.9p1
431 +
432 + 20080322:
433 +        The default umask was changed to 022.
434 +        
435 +        /usr/X11R6 paths were removed from several config files.
436 +
437 +        .mkshrc files are now installed for root.
438 +
439 + 20080316:
440 +        FIx a problem with gif0 tunnels and neighbors with IPV6.
441 +
442 + 20080312:
443 +        Add lndir from X.org.  This aides in the porting of MirPorts.
444 +
445 +        New OS versions were added to the mapage code (groff)
446 +
447 + 20080310:
448 +        Correct a buffer overflow in ppp.
449 +
450 + 20080308:
451 +        Remove /usr/X11R6 from manpath config.
452 +
453 + 20080307:
454 +        Atheros driver no longer has several options set
455 +        which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms.
