23  
24 + 20110115:
25 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
26 +
27 + 20101130:
28 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
29 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
30 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
31 +
32 + 20101120:
33 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
34 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
35 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
36 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
37 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
38 +
39 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
40 +
41 + 20101110:
42 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
43 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
44 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
45 +
46 + 20101021:
47 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
48 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
49 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
50 +
51 + 20100920:
52 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
53 +
54 + 20100905:
55 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
56 +        for 0.4.
57 +
58 + 20100902:
59 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
60 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
61 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
62 +
63 + 20100822:
64 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
65 +
66 + 20100814:
67 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
68 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
69 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
70 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
71 +        may not like.
72 +
73 + 20100713:
74 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
75 +
76 + 20100704:
77 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
78 +
79 + 20100505:
80 +        zlib 1.2.5
81 +
82 + 20100430:
83 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
84 +
85 + 20100321:
86 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
87 +
88 + 20100319:
89 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
90 +
91 + 20100317:
92 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
93 +        Mexico.
94 +
95 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
96 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
97 +
98 + 20100313:
99 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
100 +
101 + 20100312:
102 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
103 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
104 +
105 + 20100311:
106 +        mksh R39c
107 +
108 + 20100309:
109 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
110 +
111 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
112 +
113 +        mksh R39b
114 +
115 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
116 +
117 + 20100206:
118 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
119 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
120 +
121 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
122 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
123 +
124 + 20100204:
125 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
126 +        segfaulting.  
127 +
128 + 20100116:
129 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
130 +
131 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
132 +
133 + 20100110:
134 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
135 +
136 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
137 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
138 +        older current systems.
139 +
140 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
141 +
142 + 20100106:
143 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
144 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
145 +
146 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
147 +
148 + 20091228:
149 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
150 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
151 +
152 + 20091205:
153 +        OpenSSL security fix
154 +
155 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
156 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
157 +
158 + 20091128:
159 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
160 +
161 + 20091126:
162 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
163 +
164 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
165 +
166 +        mksh R39
167 +
168 + 20091124:
169 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
170 +
171 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
172 +
173 + 20091010:
174 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
175 +        to test current.
176 +
177 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
178 +        on amd64 systems.
179 +
180 + 20091006:
181 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
182 +        Argentina changes.
183 +
184 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
185 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
186 +
187 + 20090919:
188 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
189 +
190 + 20090729:
191 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
192 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
193 +
194 + 20090606:
195 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
196 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
197 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
198 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
199 +
200 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
201 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
202 +        system which makes no sense.
203 +
204 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
205 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
206 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
207 +        an external device.
208 +
209 + 20090520:
210 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
211 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
212 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
213 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
214 +        out my new Phenom too.
215 +
216 + 20090502:
217 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
218 +
219 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
220 +
221 + 20090501:
222 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD

254 >        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
255  
256 + 20090328:
257 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
258 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
259 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
260 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
261 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
262 +        an optional build parameter.  
263 +
264 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
265 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
266 +
267 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
268 +        default for login and profile.
269 +
270 + 20090327:
271 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
272 +
273 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
274 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
275 +        on mports.
276 +
277 + 20090325:
278 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
279 +
280 +        Update mksh to R36b
281 +
282 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
283 +
284 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
285 +
286 + 20090115:
287 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
288 +
289 + 20090110:
290          For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
291          certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
292          used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
