26  
27 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
28 +
29 + 20100206:
30 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
31 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
32 +
33 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
34 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
35 +
36 + 20100204:
37 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
38 +        segfaulting.  
39 +
40 + 20100116:
41 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
42 +
43 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
44 +
45 + 20100110:
46 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
47 +
48 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
49 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
50 +        older current systems.
51 +
52 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
53 +
54 + 20100106:
55 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
56 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
57 +
58 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
59 +
60 + 20091228:
61 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
62 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
63 +
64 + 20091205:
65 +        OpenSSL security fix
66 +
67 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
68 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
69 +
70 + 20091128:
71 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
72 +
73 + 20091126:
74 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
75 +
76 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
77 +
78 +        mksh R39
79 +
80 + 20091124:
81 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
82 +
83 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
84 +
85 + 20091010:
86 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
87 +        to test current.
88 +
89 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
90 +        on amd64 systems.
91 +
92 + 20091006:
93 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
94 +        Argentina changes.
95 +
96 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
97 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
98 +
99 + 20090919:
100 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
101 +
102 + 20090729:
103 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
104 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
105 +
106 + 20090606:
107 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
108 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
109 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
110 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
111 +
112 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
113 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
114 +        system which makes no sense.
115 +
116 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
117 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
118 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
119 +        an external device.
120 +
121 + 20090520:
122 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
123 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
124 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
125 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
126 +        out my new Phenom too.
127 +
128 + 20090502:
129 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
130 +
131 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
132 +
133 + 20090501:
134 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
135 +
136   20090422:
137 <        MindightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p8
137 >        OpenSSL security update
138  
139          The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
140 <        of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
140 > of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
141  
142 < 20090326:
143 <        MidnightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p7
142 > 20090415:
143 >        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
144  
145 <        Fix several security problems with sudo.  It is now 1.6.9-p20
145 >        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
146  
147 < 20090115:
148 <        MidnightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p6
147 >        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
148 >        tools to fail.
149  
150 <        Correct an issue with BIND that allows for DNSSEC spoofing
151 <        attacks.
150 > 20090405:
151 >        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
152 >        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
153 >        add

157  
158 < 20090110:
159 <        MidnightBSD 0.2.1-RELEASE-p5
158 > 20090403:
159 >        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
160 >        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
161 >        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called

163 >        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
164 >        testing by users and developers of mksh without
165 >        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
166 >        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
167  
168 + 20090328:
169 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
170 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
171 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
172 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
173 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
174 +        an optional build parameter.  
175 +
176 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
177 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
178 +
179 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
180 +        default for login and profile.
181 +
182 + 20090327:
183 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
184 +
185 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
186 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
187 +        on mports.
188 +
189 + 20090325:
190 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
191 +
192 +        Update mksh to R36b
193 +
194 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
195 +
196 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
197 +
198 + 20090115:
199 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
200 +
201 + 20090110:
202          For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
203          certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
204          used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
