6  
7 + 20110128:
8 +        MidnightBSD 0.3-RELEASE
9 +
10 + 20110124:
11 +        pkg_add migrated to release pkg path.
12 +
13 + 20110123:
14 +        Fix a bug in netwait that prints error messages when booting up. netwait is a
15 +        rc.conf(5) var that allows you to wait for network link to come up on a specific
16 +        interface and/or ip address before booting the system.
17 +
18 + 20101130:
19 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
20 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
21 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
22 +
23 + 20101110:
24 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
25 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
26 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
27 +
28 + 20101008:
29 +        A bug in glob(3) results in uncontrolled memory usage causing a possible
30 +        DOS attach in sftpd and ftpd.  Rework the glob logic, fix the man page
31 +        and enable the fix in sftp.c and sftp-glob.c
32 +
33 + 20100920:
34 +        Security update for bzip2 integer overflow
35 +
36 + 20100906:
37 +        Remove xz from the base system.  This will be developed in current.
38 +
39 +        RELENG_0_3 created.
40 +
41 + 20100902:
42 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
43 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
44 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
45 +
46 + 20100822:
47 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
48 +
49 + 20100814:
50 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
51 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
52 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
53 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
54 +        may not like.
55 +
56 + 20100713:
57 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
58 +
59 + 20100704:
60 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
61 +
62 + 20100505:
63 +        zlib 1.2.5
64 +
65 + 20100430:
66 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
67 +
68 + 20100321:
69 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
70 +
71 + 20100319:
72 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
73 +
74 + 20100317:
75 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
76 +        Mexico.
77 +
78 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
79 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
80 +
81 + 20100313:
82 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
83 +
84 + 20100312:
85 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
86 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
87 +
88 + 20100311:
89 +        mksh R39c
90 +
91 + 20100309:
92 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
93 +
94 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
95 +
96 +        mksh R39b
97 +
98 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
99 +
100 + 20100206:
101 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
102 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
103 +
104 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
105 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
106 +
107 + 20100204:
108 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
109 +        segfaulting.  
110 +
111 + 20100116:
112 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
113 +
114 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
115 +
116 + 20100110:
117 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
118 +
119 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
120 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
121 +        older current systems.
122 +
123 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
124 +
125 + 20100106:
126 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
127 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
128 +
129 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
130 +
131 + 20091228:
132 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
133 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
134 +
135 + 20091205:
136 +        OpenSSL security fix
137 +
138 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
139 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
140 +
141 + 20091128:
142 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
143 +
144 + 20091126:
145 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
146 +
147 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
148 +
149 +        mksh R39
150 +
151 + 20091124:
152 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
153 +
154 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
155 +
156 + 20091010:
157 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
158 +        to test current.
159 +
160 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
161 +        on amd64 systems.
162 +
163 + 20091006:
164 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
165 +        Argentina changes.
166 +
167 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
168 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
169 +
170 + 20090919:
171 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
172 +
173 + 20090729:
174 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
175 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
176 +
177 + 20090606:
178 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
179 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
180 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
181 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
182 +
183 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
184 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
185 +        system which makes no sense.
186 +
187 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
188 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
189 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
190 +        an external device.
191 +
192 + 20090520:
193 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
194 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
195 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
196 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
197 +        out my new Phenom too.
198 +
199 + 20090502:
200 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
201 +
202 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
203 +
204 + 20090501:
205 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
206 +
207 + 20090422:
208 +        OpenSSL security update
209 +
210 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
211 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
212 +
213 + 20090415:
214 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
215 +
216 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
217 +
218 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
219 +        tools to fail.
220 +
221 + 20090405:
222 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
223 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
224 +        add
225 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
226 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
227 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
228 +
229 + 20090403:
230 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
231 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
232 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
233 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
234 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
235 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
236 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
237 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
238 +
239 + 20090328:
240 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
241 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
242 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
243 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
244 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
245 +        an optional build parameter.  
246 +
247 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
248 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
249 +
250 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
251 +        default for login and profile.
252 +
253 + 20090327:
254 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
255 +
256 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
257 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
258 +        on mports.
259 +
260 + 20090325:
261 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
262 +
263 +        Update mksh to R36b
264 +
265 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
266 +
267 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
268 +
269 + 20090115:
270 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
271 +
272 + 20090110:
273 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
274 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
275 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
276 +
277 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
278 +        affected.
279 +
280 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
281 +
282 + 20090104:
283 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
284 +
285 + 20090101:
286 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
287 +
288 + 20081231:
289 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
290 +        properly initialized.
291 +
292 +        Happy 2009.
293 +
294   20081206:
295          Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
296          we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
