5  
6 + 20110517:
7 +        Sendmail 8.14.5
8 +
9 + 20110314:
10 +        DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
11 +
12 +        cdevpriv wrappers added
13 +
14 +        nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
15 +
16 +        dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
17 +
18 + 20110308:
19 +        Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
20 +

22 +
23 +        "OSREVISION 4004"
24 +
25 +        nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
26 +
27 +        tzdata2011c
28 +
29 + 20110220:
30 +        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
31 +
32 + 20110219:
33 +        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
34 +
35 + 20110217:
36 +        Perl 5.10.1 imported
37 +
38 + 20110216:
39 +        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
40 +        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
41 +        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
42 +        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
43 +
44 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
45 +
46 + 20110215:
47 +        age(4) added.
48 +
49 + 20110208:
50 +        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
51 +
52 + 20110206:
53 +        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
54 +
55 + 20110205:
56 +        OpenSSH 5.7p1
57 +
58 +        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
59 +
60 + 20110203:
61 +        one true awk 20100523 imported
62 +
63 +        sqlite 3.7.5
64 +
65 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
66 +
67 + 20110202:
68 +        tcsh 6.17.00
69 +
70 +        file 5.05
71 +
72 + 20110122:
73 +        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
74 +        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
75 +
76 + 20110120:
77 +        BIND 9.6.2-P3
78 +
79 +        sudo 1.7.4-p6
80 +
81 + 20110115:
82 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
83 +
84 + 20101130:
85 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
86 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
87 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
88 +
89 + 20101120:
90 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
91 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
92 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
93 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
94 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
95 +
96 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
97 +
98 + 20101110:
99 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
100 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
101 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
102 +
103 + 20101021:
104 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
105 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
106 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
107 +
108 + 20100920:
109 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
110 +
111 + 20100905:
112 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
113 +        for 0.4.
114 +
115 + 20100902:
116 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
117 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
118 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
119 +
120 + 20100822:
121 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
122 +
123 + 20100814:
124 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
125 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
126 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
127 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
128 +        may not like.
129 +
130 + 20100713:
131 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
132 +
133 + 20100704:
134 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
135 +
136 + 20100505:
137 +        zlib 1.2.5
138 +
139 + 20100430:
140 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
141 +
142 + 20100321:
143 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
144 +
145 + 20100319:
146 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
147 +
148 + 20100317:
149 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
150 +        Mexico.
151 +
152 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
153 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
154 +
155 + 20100313:
156 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
157 +
158 + 20100312:
159 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
160 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
161 +
162 + 20100311:
163 +        mksh R39c
164 +
165 + 20100309:
166 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
167 +
168 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
169 +
170 +        mksh R39b
171 +
172 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
173 +
174 + 20100206:
175 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
176 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
177 +
178 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
179 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
180 +
181 + 20100204:
182 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
183 +        segfaulting.  
184 +
185 + 20100116:
186 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
187 +
188 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
189 +
190 + 20100110:
191 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
192 +
193 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
194 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
195 +        older current systems.
196 +
197 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
198 +
199 + 20100106:
200 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
201 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
202 +
203 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
204 +
205 + 20091228:
206 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
207 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
208 +
209 + 20091205:
210 +        OpenSSL security fix
211 +
212 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
213 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
214 +
215 + 20091128:
216 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
217 +
218 + 20091126:
219 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
220 +
221 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
222 +
223 +        mksh R39
224 +
225 + 20091124:
226 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
227 +
228 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
229 +
230 + 20091010:
231 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
232 +        to test current.
233 +
234 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
235 +        on amd64 systems.
236 +
237 + 20091006:
238 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
239 +        Argentina changes.
240 +
241 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
242 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
243 +
244 + 20090919:
245 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
246 +
247 + 20090729:
248 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
249 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
250 +
251 + 20090606:
252 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
253 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
254 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
255 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
256 +
257 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
258 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
259 +        system which makes no sense.
260 +
261 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
262 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
263 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
264 +        an external device.
265 +
266 + 20090520:
267 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
268 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
269 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
270 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
271 +        out my new Phenom too.
272 +
273 + 20090502:
274 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
275 +
276 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
277 +
278 + 20090501:
279 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
280 +
281 + 20090422:
282 +        OpenSSL security update
283 +
284 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
285 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
286 +
287 + 20090415:
288 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
289 +
290 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
291 +
292 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
293 +        tools to fail.
294 +
295 + 20090405:
296 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
297 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
298 +        add
299 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
300 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
301 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
302 +
303 + 20090403:
304 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
305 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
306 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
307 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
308 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
309 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
310 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
311 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
312 +
313 + 20090328:
314 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
315 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
316 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
317 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
318 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
319 +        an optional build parameter.  
320 +
321 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
322 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
323 +
324 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
325 +        default for login and profile.
326 +
327 + 20090327:
328 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
329 +
330 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
331 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
332 +        on mports.
333 +
334 + 20090325:
335 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
336 +
337 +        Update mksh to R36b
338 +
339 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
340 +
341 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
342 +
343   20090115:
344          Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
