+Updating Information for MidnightBSD users
-<
+Items affecting the mports and packages system can be found in
-<
+/usr/mports/UPDATING.
->
+20110528:
->
+        Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x.  This affects caching resolvers.
-<
+20090610:
-<
+        MidnightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p10
-<
-<
+        This should be applied to all systems running 0.2.1. Users on
-<
+        p9 simply should update their kernels. No world update is required.
->
+20110526:
->
+        newfs:
->
+        Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
->
+K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
-<
+        ipv6:
-<
+        The SIOCSIFINFO_IN6 ioctl is missing a necessary permissions check.
-<
+        Don't let everyone on the planet (with local access) change the
-<
+        properties on the ipv6 interfaces.
->
+        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.
-<
+        anonymous pipes:
-<
+        Stop unprivileged processes from reading pages of memory belonging
-<
+        to other processes with anonymous pipes.
->
+20110521:
->
+        mport tool now has a deleteall command.  This can be used to remove
->
+        all packages from a system.
-<
+20090521:
-<
+        MidnightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p9
->
+        A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
-<
+        This fix is only in configuration files for ssh and sshd.  Users on
-<
+        p8 should simply add
->
+20110518:
->
+        Perl 5.14.0
-<
+        Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour,aes128-cbc,aes256-cbc
->
+20110517:
->
+        Sendmail 8.14.5
-<
+        to their configuration files for sshd_config and ssh_config in etc/ssh
->
+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:

+        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:
