26  
27 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
28 +
29 + 20110215:
30 +        age(4) added.
31 +
32 + 20110208:
33 +        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
34 +
35 + 20110206:
36 +        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
37 +
38 + 20110205:
39 +        OpenSSH 5.7p1
40 +
41 +        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
42 +
43 + 20110203:
44 +        one true awk 20100523 imported
45 +
46 +        sqlite 3.7.5
47 +
48 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
49 +
50 + 20110202:
51 +        tcsh 6.17.00
52 +
53 +        file 5.05
54 +
55 + 20110122:
56 +        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
57 +        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
58 +
59 + 20110120:
60 +        BIND 9.6.2-P3
61 +
62 +        sudo 1.7.4-p6
63 +
64 + 20110115:
65 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
66 +
67 + 20101130:
68 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
69 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
70 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
71 +
72 + 20101120:
73 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
74 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
75 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
76 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
77 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
78 +
79 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
80 +
81 + 20101110:
82 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
83 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
84 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
85 +
86 + 20101021:
87 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
88 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
89 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
90 +
91 + 20100920:
92 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
93 +
94 + 20100905:
95 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
96 +        for 0.4.
97 +
98 + 20100902:
99 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
100 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
101 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
102 +
103 + 20100822:
104 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
105 +
106 + 20100814:
107 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
108 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
109 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
110 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
111 +        may not like.
112 +
113 + 20100713:
114 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
115 +
116 + 20100704:
117 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
118 +
119 + 20100505:
120 +        zlib 1.2.5
121 +
122 + 20100430:
123 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
124 +
125 + 20100321:
126 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
127 +
128 + 20100319:
129 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
130 +
131 + 20100317:
132 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
133 +        Mexico.
134 +
135 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
136 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
137 +
138 + 20100313:
139 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
140 +
141 + 20100312:
142 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
143 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
144 +
145 + 20100311:
146 +        mksh R39c
147 +
148 + 20100309:
149 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
150 +
151 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
152 +
153 +        mksh R39b
154 +
155 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
156 +
157 + 20100206:
158 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
159 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
160 +
161 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
162 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
163 +
164 + 20100204:
165 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
166 +        segfaulting.  
167 +
168 + 20100116:
169 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
170 +
171 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
172 +
173 + 20100110:
174 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
175 +
176 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
177 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
178 +        older current systems.
179 +
180 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
181 +
182 + 20100106:
183 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
184 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
185 +
186 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
187 +
188 + 20091228:
189 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
190 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
191 +
192 + 20091205:
193 +        OpenSSL security fix
194 +
195 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
196 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
197 +
198 + 20091128:
199 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
200 +
201 + 20091126:
202 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
203 +
204 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
205 +
206 +        mksh R39
207 +
208 + 20091124:
209 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
210 +
211 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
212 +
213 + 20091010:
214 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
215 +        to test current.
216 +
217 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
218 +        on amd64 systems.
219 +
220 + 20091006:
221 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
222 +        Argentina changes.
223 +
224 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
225 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
226 +
227 + 20090919:
228 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
229 +
230 + 20090729:
231 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
232 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
233 +
234 + 20090606:
235 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
236 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
237 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
238 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
239 +
240 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
241 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
242 +        system which makes no sense.
243 +
244 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
245 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
246 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
247 +        an external device.
248 +
249 + 20090520:
250 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
251 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
252 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
253 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
254 +        out my new Phenom too.
255 +
256 + 20090502:
257 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
258 +
259 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
260 +
261 + 20090501:
262 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD

295  
296 + 20090328:
297 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
298 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
299 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
300 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
301 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
302 +        an optional build parameter.  
303 +
304 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
305 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
306 +
307 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
308 +        default for login and profile.
309 +
310 + 20090327:
311 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
312 +
313 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
314 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
315 +        on mports.
316 +
317 + 20090325:
318 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
319 +
320 +        Update mksh to R36b
321 +
322 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
323 +
324 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
325 +
326 + 20090115:
327 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
328 +
329 + 20090110:
330          For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
331          certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
332          used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
