5  
6 +        Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x.  Good to run when
7 +        updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
8 +
9 + 20110528:
10 +        Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x.  This affects caching resolvers.
11 +
12 + 20110526:
13 +        newfs:
14 +        Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
15 +        16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
16 +
17 +        This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
18 +        hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
19 +        have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes.  Of course
20 +        the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
21 +
22 + 20110521:
23 +        mport tool now has a deleteall command.  This can be used to remove
24 +        all packages from a system.
25 +
26 +        A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
27 +
28 + 20110518:
29 +        Perl 5.14.0
30 +
31 + 20110517:
32 +        Sendmail 8.14.5
33 +
34 + 20110314:
35 +        DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
36 +
37 +        cdevpriv wrappers added
38 +
39 +        nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
40 +
41 +        dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
42 +
43 + 20110308:
44 +        Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
45 +
46 +        Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
47 +
48 +        "OSREVISION 4004"
49 +
50 +        nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
51 +
52 +        tzdata2011c
53 +
54 + 20110220:
55 +        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
56 +
57 + 20110219:
58 +        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
59 +
60 + 20110217:
61 +        Perl 5.10.1 imported
62 +
63 + 20110216:
64 +        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
65 +        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
66 +        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
67 +        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
68 +
69 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
70 +
71 + 20110215:
72 +        age(4) added.
73 +
74 + 20110208:
75 +        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
76 +
77 + 20110206:
78 +        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
79 +
80 + 20110205:
81 +        OpenSSH 5.7p1
82 +
83 +        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
84 +
85 + 20110203:
86 +        one true awk 20100523 imported
87 +
88 +        sqlite 3.7.5
89 +
90 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
91 +
92 + 20110202:
93 +        tcsh 6.17.00
94 +
95 +        file 5.05
96 +
97 + 20110122:
98 +        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
99 +        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
100 +
101 + 20110120:
102 +        BIND 9.6.2-P3
103 +
104 +        sudo 1.7.4-p6
105 +
106 + 20110115:
107 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
108 +
109 + 20101130:
110 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
111 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
112 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
113 +
114 + 20101120:
115 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
116 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
117 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
118 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
119 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
120 +
121 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
122 +
123 + 20101110:
124 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
125 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
126 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
127 +
128 + 20101021:
129 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
130 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
131 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
132 +
133 + 20100920:
134 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
135 +
136 + 20100905:
137 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
138 +        for 0.4.
139 +
140 + 20100902:
141 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
142 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
143 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
144 +
145 + 20100822:
146 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
147 +
148 + 20100814:
149 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
150 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
151 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
152 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
153 +        may not like.
154 +
155 + 20100713:
156 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
157 +
158 + 20100704:
159 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
160 +
161 + 20100505:
162 +        zlib 1.2.5
163 +
164 + 20100430:
165 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
166 +
167 + 20100321:
168 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
169 +
170 + 20100319:
171 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
172 +
173 + 20100317:
174 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
175 +        Mexico.
176 +
177 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
178 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
179 +
180 + 20100313:
181 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
182 +
183 + 20100312:
184 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
185 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
186 +
187 + 20100311:
188 +        mksh R39c
189 +
190 + 20100309:
191 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
192 +
193 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
194 +
195 +        mksh R39b
196 +
197 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
198 +
199 + 20100206:
200 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
201 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
202 +
203 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
204 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
205 +
206 + 20100204:
207 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
208 +        segfaulting.  
209 +
210 + 20100116:
211 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
212 +
213 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
214 +
215 + 20100110:
216 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
217 +
218 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
219 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
220 +        older current systems.
221 +
222 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
223 +
224 + 20100106:
225 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
226 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
227 +
228 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
229 +
230 + 20091228:
231 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
232 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
233 +
234 + 20091205:
235 +        OpenSSL security fix
236 +
237 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
238 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
239 +
240 + 20091128:
241 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
242 +
243 + 20091126:
244 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
245 +
246 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
247 +
248 +        mksh R39
249 +
250 + 20091124:
251 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
252 +
253 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
254 +
255 + 20091010:
256 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
257 +        to test current.
258 +
259 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
260 +        on amd64 systems.
261 +
262 + 20091006:
263 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
264 +        Argentina changes.
265 +
266 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
267 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
268 +
269 + 20090919:
270 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
271 +
272 + 20090729:
273 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
274 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
275 +
276 + 20090606:
277 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
278 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
279 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
280 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
281 +
282 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
283 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
284 +        system which makes no sense.
285 +
286 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
287 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
288 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
289 +        an external device.
290 +
291 + 20090520:
292 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
293 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
294 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
295 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
296 +        out my new Phenom too.
297 +
298 + 20090502:
299 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
300 +
301 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
302 +
303 + 20090501:
304 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
305 +
306 + 20090422:
307 +        OpenSSL security update
308 +
309 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
310 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
311 +
312 + 20090415:
313 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
314 +
315 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
316 +
317 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
318 +        tools to fail.
319 +
320 + 20090405:
321 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
322 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
323 +        add
324 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
325 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
326 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
327 +
328 + 20090403:
329 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
330 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
331 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
332 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
333 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
334 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
335 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
336 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
337 +
338 + 20090328:
339 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
340 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
341 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
342 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
343 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
344 +        an optional build parameter.  
345 +
346 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
347 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
348 +
349 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
350 +        default for login and profile.
351 +
352 + 20090327:
353 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
354 +
355 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
356 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
357 +        on mports.
358 +
359 + 20090325:
360 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
361 +
362 +        Update mksh to R36b
363 +
364 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
365 +
366 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
367 +
368 + 20090115:
369 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
370 +
371 + 20090110:
372 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
373 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
374 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
375 +
376 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
377 +        affected.
378 +
379 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
380 +
381 + 20090104:
382 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
383 +
384 + 20090101:
385 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
386 +
387 + 20081231:
388 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
389 +        properly initialized.
390 +
391 +        Happy 2009.
392 +
393 + 20081206:
394 +        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
395 +        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
396 +        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
397 +        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.  
398 +
399 +        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
400 +        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
401 +
402 +        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
403 +
404 +        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
405 +        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
406 +        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
407 +        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
408 +        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
409 +
410 + 20081204:
411 +        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
412 +        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
413 +        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
414 +        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
415 +        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
416 +
417 +        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
418 +        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
419 +        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
420 +        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
421 +        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
422 +
423 + 20080905:
424 +        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
425 +
426 + 20080801:
427 +        Import OpenBSM 1.0
428 +
429 +        Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
430 +
431 +        etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
432 +
433 +        Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
434 +
435 +        The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
436 +
437   20080703:
438          pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
439          or posibly jails.
