2  
3 + 20130125:
4 +        MKSH R41 imported
5 +
6 + 20130122:
7 +        OpenSSH 5.8p2 imported
8 +
9 +        SQLite 3.7.15.2 imported
10 +
11 +        Fixed a longstanding bug in libmport extrating new index files.
12 +
13 + 20120710:
14 +        BSD licensed sort imported from FreeBSD-CURRENT
15 +
16 +        For now, GNU sort is installed as gnusort, but it will
17 +        go away in time.
18 +
19 + 20120708:
20 +        tcsh 6.18.01 imported.
21 +
22 +        NetBSD's iconv imported.
23 +
24 +        libc gains strnlen(3), memrchr(3), stpncpy(3).
25 +
26 + 20120612:
27 +        BIND security update related to CVE-2012-1667.
28 +
29 +        Zero length resource records can cause BIND to crash resulting
30 +        in a DOS attack or information disclosure.
31 +
32 + 20120407:
33 +        mksh R40f (fixes regression)
34 +
35 + 20120328:
36 +        mksh R40e
37 +
38 +        Perl 5.14.2
39 +
40 + 20120229:
41 +        cpucontrol(8) and cpuctl(4) added from FreeBSD 7-stable.
42 +
43 + 20120209:
44 +        mDNSResponder 333.10 imported
45 +
46 + 20111227:
47 +        import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8)
48 +
49 +        This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel
50 +        memory.
51 +
52 + 20111223:
53 +        telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked
54 +
55 +        pam: don't allow escape from policy path.  Exploitable in KDE, etc.
56 +
57 +        Fix pam_ssh module:
58 +
59 +        If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
60 +        to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
61 +
62 +        This has to due with the way that openssl works.  It ignores unencrpted data.
63 +
64 +        Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd.
65 +
66 +        nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
67 +        operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
68 +        hole in things like ftpd.
69 +
70 + 20111217:
71 +        libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not
72 +        backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog
73 +
74 + 20111212:
75 +        mksh r40d imported
76 +
77 + 20111210:
78 +        re(4) and rl(4) updated to support new chips.
79 +
80 +        GEOM synced with FreeBSD 7-stable.
81 +
82 +        MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and
83 +        setup in boot loader and GEOM.
84 +
85 +        amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support
86 +        8xx series chipset.
87 +
88 + 20111207:
89 +        import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD.
90 +
91 +        MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed
92 +        as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep.
93 +
94 + 20111122:
95 +        mksh vR40c imported.
96 +
97 + 20111117:
98 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5 P1
99 +
100 + 20111107:
101 +        tzdata 2011n
102 +
103 + 20111026:
104 +        mDNSResponder v320
105 +
106 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5
107 +
108 + 20111022:
109 +        cflow 0.0.6 imported
110 +
111 + 20111020:
112 +        less v436 imported
113 +
114 +        amdsbwd(4) AMD southbridge watchdog
115 +
116 + 20111019:
117 +        awk 20110810 imported
118 +
119 +        et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
120 +        not included in GENERIC kernel.  The kernel module needs
121 +        testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
122 +
123 +        intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
124 +        specific CPU core.
125 +
126 + 20111017:
127 +        Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
128 +
129 +        Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
130 +
131 + 20111015:
132 +        Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
133 +        to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
134 +        process. Several new system calls were added to support this
135 +        functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
136 +        compatibility on amd64.
137 +
138 +        The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
139 +        amd64.  Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
140 +        for this feature.
141 +
142 +        This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
143 +
144 + 20111004:
145 +        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
146 +        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
147 +        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
148 +
149 + 20111001:
150 +        Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
151 +        now default and an environment variable must be set to use
152 +        active.
153 +
154 + 20110930:
155 +        Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
156 +        USB cameras.  Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
157 +
158 +        Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
159 +        Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
160 +        when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
161 +        offloading.
162 +
163 +        Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
164 +        working with large raid3 sets.
165 +
166 +        Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
167 +
168 + 20110929:
169 +        Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
170 +
171 +        The following modules are no longer available, and should be
172 +        removed from loader.conf:
173 +        ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
174 +
175 +        alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
176 +        required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
177 +        a connection could be established.  Disable hibernation.
178 +
179 + 20110928:
180 +        Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
181 +        files that are corrupted.
182 +
183 +        Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
184 +
185 + 20110917:
186 +        Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
187 +        it's in the base system.
188 +
189 + 20110914:
190 +        Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
191 +
192 + 20110813:
193 +        synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
194 +
195 + 20110806:
196 +        sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
197 +
198 +        msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added.  msearch(1) provides
199 +        a full text search command line tool.  libmsearch can also be used
200 +        to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
201 +        index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
202 +        /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool.  Full text indexes take considerable
203 +        space in /var.  I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
204 +
205 +        Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
206 +        versions.  This will be obsolete with mport though.
207 +
208 + 20110710:
209 +        kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
210 +        know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
211 +
212 +        Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
213 +
214 + 20110709:
215 +        cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
216 +        with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
217 +
218 + 20110612:
219 +        Update mksh to R40
220 +
221 +        Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x.  Good to run when
222 +        updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
223 +
224 + 20110528:
225 +        Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x.  This affects caching resolvers.
226 +
227 + 20110526:
228 +        newfs:
229 +        Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
230 +        16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
231 +
232 +        This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
233 +        hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
234 +        have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes.  Of course
235 +        the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
236 +
237 + 20110521:
238 +        mport tool now has a deleteall command.  This can be used to remove
239 +        all packages from a system.
240 +
241 +        A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
242 +
243 + 20110518:
244 +        Perl 5.14.0
245 +
246 + 20110517:
247 +        Sendmail 8.14.5
248 +
249 + 20110314:
250 +        DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
251 +
252 +        cdevpriv wrappers added
253 +
254 +        nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
255 +
256 +        dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
257 +
258 + 20110308:
259 +        Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
260 +
261 +        Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
262 +
263 +        "OSREVISION 4004"
264 +
265 +        nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
266 +
267 +        tzdata2011c
268 +
269 + 20110220:
270 +        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
271 +
272 + 20110219:
273 +        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
274 +
275 + 20110217:
276 +        Perl 5.10.1 imported
277 +
278 + 20110216:
279 +        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
280 +        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
281 +        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
282 +        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
283 +
284 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
285 +
286 + 20110215:
287 +        age(4) added.
288 +
289   20110208:
290          BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
