23  
24 + 20091010:
25 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
26 +        to test current.
27 +
28 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
29 +        on amd64 systems.
30 +
31 + 20091006:
32 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
33 +        Argentina changes.
34 +
35 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
36 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
37 +
38 + 20090919:
39 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
40 +
41 + 20090729:
42 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
43 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
44 +
45 + 20090606:
46 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
47 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
48 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
49 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
50 +
51 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
52 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
53 +        system which makes no sense.
54 +
55 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
56 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
57 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
58 +        an external device.
59 +
60 + 20090520:
61 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
62 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
63 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
64 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
65 +        out my new Phenom too.
66 +
67 + 20090502:
68 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
69 +
70 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
71 +
72 + 20090501:
73 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
74 +
75   20090422:
76 <        MindightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p8
76 >        OpenSSL security update
77  
78          The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
79 <        of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
79 > of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
80  
81 < 20090326:
82 <        MidnightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p7
81 > 20090415:
82 >        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
83  
84 <        Fix several security problems with sudo.  It is now 1.6.9-p20
84 >        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
85  
86 < 20090115:
87 <        MidnightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p6
86 >        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
87 >        tools to fail.
88  
89 <        Correct an issue with BIND that allows for DNSSEC spoofing
90 <        attacks.
89 > 20090405:
90 >        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
91 >        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then

96  
97 < 20090110:
98 <        MidnightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p5
97 > 20090403:
98 >        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
99 >        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
100 >        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called

102 >        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
103 >        testing by users and developers of mksh without
104 >        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
105 >        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
106  
107 + 20090328:
108 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
109 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
110 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
111 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
112 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
113 +        an optional build parameter.  
114 +
115 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
116 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
117 +
118 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
119 +        default for login and profile.
120 +
121 + 20090327:
122 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
123 +
124 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
125 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
126 +        on mports.
127 +
128 + 20090325:
129 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
130 +
131 +        Update mksh to R36b
132 +
133 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
134 +
135 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
136 +
137 + 20090115:
138 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
139 +
140 + 20090110:
141          For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
142          certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
143          used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.

118        sysinstall would incorrectly truncate DHCP info when configuring
