1   Updating Information for MidnightBSD users
2  
3 + 20111107:
4 +        tzdata 2011n
5 +
6 + 20111026:
7 +        mDNSResponder v320
8 +
9 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5
10 +
11 + 20111022:
12 +        cflow 0.0.6 imported
13 +
14 + 20111020:
15 +        less v436 imported
16 +
17 +        amdsbwd(4) AMD southbridge watchdog
18 +
19 + 20111019:
20 +        awk 20110810 imported
21 +
22 +        et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
23 +        not included in GENERIC kernel.  The kernel module needs
24 +        testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
25 +
26 +        intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
27 +        specific CPU core.
28 +
29 + 20111017:
30 +        Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
31 +
32 +        Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
33 +
34 + 20111015:
35 +        Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
36 +        to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
37 +        process. Several new system calls were added to support this
38 +        functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
39 +        compatibility on amd64.
40 +
41 +        The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
42 +        amd64.  Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
43 +        for this feature.
44 +
45 +        This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
46 +
47 + 20111004:
48 +        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
49 +        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
50 +        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
51 +
52 + 20111001:
53 +        Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
54 +        now default and an environment variable must be set to use
55 +        active.
56 +
57 + 20110930:
58 +        Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
59 +        USB cameras.  Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
60 +
61 +        Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
62 +        Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
63 +        when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
64 +        offloading.
65 +
66 +        Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
67 +        working with large raid3 sets.
68 +
69 +        Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
70 +
71 + 20110929:
72 +        Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
73 +
74 +        The following modules are no longer available, and should be
75 +        removed from loader.conf:
76 +        ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
77 +
78 +        alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
79 +        required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
80 +        a connection could be established.  Disable hibernation.
81 +
82 + 20110928:
83 +        Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
84 +        files that are corrupted.
85 +
86 +        Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
87 +
88 + 20110917:
89 +        Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
90 +        it's in the base system.
91 +
92 + 20110914:
93 +        Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
94 +
95 + 20110813:
96 +        synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
97 +
98 + 20110806:
99 +        sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
100 +
101 +        msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added.  msearch(1) provides
102 +        a full text search command line tool.  libmsearch can also be used
103 +        to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
104 +        index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
105 +        /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool.  Full text indexes take considerable
106 +        space in /var.  I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
107 +
108 +        Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
109 +        versions.  This will be obsolete with mport though.
110 +
111 + 20110710:
112 +        kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
113 +        know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
114 +
115 +        Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
116 +
117 + 20110709:
118 +        cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
119 +        with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
120 +
121 + 20110612:
122 +        Update mksh to R40
123 +
124 +        Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x.  Good to run when
125 +        updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
126 +
127 + 20110528:
128 +        Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x.  This affects caching resolvers.
129 +
130 + 20110526:
131 +        newfs:
132 +        Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
133 +        16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
134 +
135 +        This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
136 +        hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
137 +        have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes.  Of course
138 +        the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
139 +
140 + 20110521:
141 +        mport tool now has a deleteall command.  This can be used to remove
142 +        all packages from a system.
143 +
144 +        A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
145 +
146 + 20110518:
147 +        Perl 5.14.0
148 +
149 + 20110517:
150 +        Sendmail 8.14.5
151 +
152 + 20110314:
153 +        DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
154 +
155 +        cdevpriv wrappers added
156 +
157 +        nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
158 +
159 +        dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
160 +
161 + 20110308:
162 +        Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
163 +
164 +        Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
165 +
166 +        "OSREVISION 4004"
167 +
168 +        nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
169 +
170 +        tzdata2011c
171 +
172 + 20110220:
173 +        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
174 +
175 + 20110219:
176 +        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
177 +
178 + 20110217:
179 +        Perl 5.10.1 imported
180 +
181 + 20110216:
182 +        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
183 +        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
184 +        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
185 +        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
186 +
187 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
188 +
189 + 20110215:
190 +        age(4) added.
191 +
192   20110208:
193          BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
