25  
26 <        to their configuration files for sshd_config and ssh_config in etc/ssh
26 >        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
27  
28 + 20100106:
29 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
30 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
31 +
32 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
33 +
34 + 20091228:
35 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
36 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
37 +
38 + 20091205:
39 +        OpenSSL security fix
40 +
41 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
42 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
43 +
44 + 20091128:
45 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
46 +
47 + 20091126:
48 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
49 +
50 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
51 +
52 +        mksh R39
53 +
54 + 20091124:
55 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
56 +
57 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
58 +
59 + 20091010:
60 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
61 +        to test current.
62 +
63 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
64 +        on amd64 systems.
65 +
66 + 20091006:
67 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
68 +        Argentina changes.
69 +
70 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
71 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
72 +
73 + 20090919:
74 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
75 +
76 + 20090729:
77 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
78 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
79 +
80 + 20090606:
81 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
82 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
83 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
84 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
85 +
86 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
87 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
88 +        system which makes no sense.
89 +
90 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
91 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
92 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
93 +        an external device.
94 +
95 + 20090520:
96 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
97 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
98 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
99 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
100 +        out my new Phenom too.
101 +
102 + 20090502:
103 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
104 +
105 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
106 +
107 + 20090501:
108 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
109 +
110   20090422:
111 <        MindightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p8
111 >        OpenSSL security update
112  
113          The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
114 <        of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
114 > of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
115  
116 < 20090326:
117 <        MidnightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p7
116 > 20090415:
117 >        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
118  
119 <        Fix several security problems with sudo.  It is now 1.6.9-p20
119 >        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
120  
121 < 20090115:
122 <        MidnightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p6
121 >        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
122 >        tools to fail.
123  
124 <        Correct an issue with BIND that allows for DNSSEC spoofing
125 <        attacks.
124 > 20090405:
125 >        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
126 >        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
127 >        add
128 >                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
129 >        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
130 >        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
131  
132 < 20090110:
133 <        MidnightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p5
132 > 20090403:
133 >        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
134 >        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
135 >        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
136 >        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
137 >        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
138 >        testing by users and developers of mksh without
139 >        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
140 >        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
141  
142 + 20090328:
143 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
144 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
145 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
146 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
147 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
148 +        an optional build parameter.  
149 +
150 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
151 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
152 +
153 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
154 +        default for login and profile.
155 +
156 + 20090327:
157 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
158 +
159 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
160 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
161 +        on mports.
162 +
163 + 20090325:
164 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
165 +
166 +        Update mksh to R36b
167 +
168 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
169 +
170 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
171 +
172 + 20090115:
173 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
174 +
175 + 20090110:
176          For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
177          certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
178          used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
