3 + 20131205:
4 +        OpenSSH 6.4p1
5 +
6 + 20131203:
7 +        Perl 5.18.1 imported.
8 +
9 +        Update less to v458
10 +
11 + 20131130:
12 +        Remove named from base. We still include the client utilities for
13 +        now until replacements can be found.
14 +
15 + 20131004:
16 +        rarpd supports vlan(4) and has a pid flag. (from FreeBSD)
17 +
18 + 20130917:
19 +        Support for 65,536 routing tables was added.  A new fib specific
20 +        field has been added to mbuf.  This is an increase from 16.
21 +
22 + 20130910:
23 +        Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001)
24 +
25 +        nullfs(5)
26 +
27 +        The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
28 +        check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
29 +        nullfs instance.  It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
30 +        location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
31 +        underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
32 +
33 +        ifioctl
34 +
35 +        As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
36 +        handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
37 +        passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
38 +        return an error code.
39 +
40 +        Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
41 +        SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
42 +        handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
43 +        validation or verify the caller's credentials.  Typical link-layer
44 +        actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
45 +        and resetting the underlying hardware.
46 +
47 + 20130824:
48 +        Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it
49 +        handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers.
50 +        FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix
51 +        will be included in the next release.
52 +
53 +        Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static
54 +        binary.  It has limited functionality, but can be used to
55 +        checkout/commit code.  It is named svnlite.
56 +
57 + 20130822:
58 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
59 +
60 +        Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST).
61 +        This could be exploited to read memory by a user process.
62 +
63 +        When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks,
64 +        a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized.
65 +
66 +        Import xz 5.0.4
67 +
68 +        Import sqlite 3.7.17
69 +
70 +        Import BIND 9.8.5-P2
71 +
72 + 20130814:
73 +        mksh R48 imported.
74 +
75 +        Sendmail 8.14.7 imported.
76 +
77 + 20130717:
78 +        libmport bug was fixed causing hash verification to fail.
79 +
80 +        virtio(4) imported from FreeBSD 9-stable. SCSI support not
81 +        included.
82 +
83 + 20130612:
84 +        RELENG_0_4 created for 0.4. Development continues on 0.5.
85 +
86 + 20130402:
87 +        Update BIND and OpenSSL to resolve security advisories.
88 +
89 + 20130305:
90 +        MKSH R44 imported.
91 +
92 + 20130213:
93 +        MKSH R42b imported
94 +
95 + 20130211:
96 +        MKSH R42 imported
97 +
98 + 20130125:
99 +        MKSH R41 imported
100 +
101 + 20130122:
102 +        OpenSSH 5.8p2 imported
103 +
104 +        SQLite 3.7.15.2 imported
105 +
106 +        Fixed a longstanding bug in libmport extrating new index files.
107 +
108 + 20120710:
109 +        BSD licensed sort imported from FreeBSD-CURRENT
110 +
111 +        For now, GNU sort is installed as gnusort, but it will
112 +        go away in time.
113 +
114 + 20120708:
115 +        tcsh 6.18.01 imported.
116 +
117 +        NetBSD's iconv imported.
118 +
119 +        libc gains strnlen(3), memrchr(3), stpncpy(3).
120 +
121 + 20120612:
122 +        BIND security update related to CVE-2012-1667.
123 +
124 +        Zero length resource records can cause BIND to crash resulting
125 +        in a DOS attack or information disclosure.
126 +
127 + 20120407:
128 +        mksh R40f (fixes regression)
129 +
130 + 20120328:
131 +        mksh R40e
132 +
133 +        Perl 5.14.2
134 +
135 + 20120229:
136 +        cpucontrol(8) and cpuctl(4) added from FreeBSD 7-stable.
137 +
138 + 20120209:
139 +        mDNSResponder 333.10 imported
140 +
141 + 20111227:
142 +        import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8)
143 +
144 +        This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel
145 +        memory.
146 +
147 + 20111223:
148 +        telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked
149 +
150 +        pam: don't allow escape from policy path.  Exploitable in KDE, etc.
151 +
152 +        Fix pam_ssh module:
153 +
154 +        If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
155 +        to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
156 +
157 +        This has to due with the way that openssl works.  It ignores unencrpted data.
158 +
159 +        Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd.
160 +
161 +        nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
162 +        operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
163 +        hole in things like ftpd.
164 +
165 + 20111217:
166 +        libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not
167 +        backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog
168 +
169 + 20111212:
170 +        mksh r40d imported
171 +
172 + 20111210:
173 +        re(4) and rl(4) updated to support new chips.
174 +
175 +        GEOM synced with FreeBSD 7-stable.
176 +
177 +        MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and
178 +        setup in boot loader and GEOM.
179 +
180 +        amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support
181 +        8xx series chipset.
182 +
183 + 20111207:
184 +        import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD.
185 +
186 +        MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed
187 +        as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep.
188 +
189 + 20111122:
190 +        mksh vR40c imported.
191 +
192 + 20111117:
193 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5 P1
194 +
195 + 20111107:
196 +        tzdata 2011n
197 +
198 + 20111026:
199 +        mDNSResponder v320
200 +
201 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5
202 +
203 + 20111022:
204 +        cflow 0.0.6 imported
205 +
206 + 20111020:
207 +        less v436 imported
208 +
209 +        amdsbwd(4) AMD southbridge watchdog
210 +
211 + 20111019:
212 +        awk 20110810 imported
213 +
214 +        et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
215 +        not included in GENERIC kernel.  The kernel module needs
216 +        testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
217 +
218 +        intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
219 +        specific CPU core.
220 +
221 + 20111017:
222 +        Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
223 +
224 +        Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
225 +
226 + 20111015:
227 +        Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
228 +        to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
229 +        process. Several new system calls were added to support this
230 +        functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
231 +        compatibility on amd64.
232 +
233 +        The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
234 +        amd64.  Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
235 +        for this feature.
236 +
237 +        This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
238 +
239 + 20111004:
240 +        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
241 +        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
242 +        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
243 +
244 + 20111001:
245 +        Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
246 +        now default and an environment variable must be set to use
247 +        active.
248 +
249 + 20110930:
250 +        Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
251 +        USB cameras.  Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
252 +
253 +        Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
254 +        Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
255 +        when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
256 +        offloading.
257 +
258 +        Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
259 +        working with large raid3 sets.
260 +
261 +        Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
262 +
263 + 20110929:
264 +        Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
265 +
266 +        The following modules are no longer available, and should be
267 +        removed from loader.conf:
268 +        ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
269 +
270 +        alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
271 +        required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
272 +        a connection could be established.  Disable hibernation.
273 +
274 + 20110928:
275 +        Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
276 +        files that are corrupted.
277 +
278 +        Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
279 +
280 + 20110917:
281 +        Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
282 +        it's in the base system.
283 +
284 + 20110914:
285 +        Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
286 +
287 + 20110813:
288 +        synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
289 +
290 + 20110806:
291 +        sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
292 +
293 +        msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added.  msearch(1) provides
294 +        a full text search command line tool.  libmsearch can also be used
295 +        to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
296 +        index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
297 +        /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool.  Full text indexes take considerable
298 +        space in /var.  I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
299 +
300 +        Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
301 +        versions.  This will be obsolete with mport though.
302 +
303 + 20110710:
304 +        kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
305 +        know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
306 +
307 +        Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
308 +
309   20110709:
310          cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
311          with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
