6	>	20070716:
7	>	Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
8
9	<	20060211:
10	<	An IPv6 support of ipfw was enabled by default.  If you don't
11	<	want to filter an IPv6 by ipfw, please add following line into
12	<	your ipfw rule:
9	>	20070410:
10	>	cvs was updated to 1.12.13.  cvsbug was removed.
11	>	cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
12	>	most of their local changes.
13
14	<	pass ip6 from any to any
14	>	20070409:
15	>	RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
16	>	continue here.
17
18	<	20060210:
19	<	Now most modules get their build-time options from the kernel
20	<	configuration file.  A few modules still have fixed options
21	<	due to their non-conformant implementation, but they will be
22	<	corrected eventually.  You may need to review the options of
23	<	the modules in use, explicitly specify the non-default options
24	<	in the kernel configuration file, and rebuild the kernel and
25	<	modules afterwards.
18	>	20070406:
19	>	Back out propolice.  propolice caused several problems
20	>	with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
21	>	curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
22	>	multithreaded applications would crash.  We plan to
23	>	work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
24	>	patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
25
26	<	20060122:
27	<	/etc/rc.d/ppp-user has been renamed to /etc/rc.d/ppp.
29	<	Its /etc/rc.conf.d configuration file has been `ppp' from
30	<	the beginning, and hence there is no need to touch it.
26	>	It is more important to have a stable system for our
27	>	mport work and other projects at this time.
28
29	<	20060113:
30	<	si(4)'s device files now contain the unit number.
31	<	Uses of {cua,tty}A[0-9a-f] should be replaced by {cua,tty}A0[0-9a-f].
32	<
33	<	20051230:
34	<	A lot of fixes and new features in the soundsystem. To get all
35	<	benefits, you may want to recompile mplayer (if installed) after
36	<	booting the new world.
29	>	This is not a clean removal.  It is recommended that you
30	>	have a recently SNAP CD handy.  You can either reinstall
31	>	or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
32	>	make installkernel.  Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
33	>	of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
34	>	/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
35	>	your disk.  Then you should be able to boot into single user
36	>	mode and run make installworld.  You will need to run
37	>	chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
38	>	them.
39
40	<	20051222:
41	<	Bug fixes to the trimdomain(3) function in libutil may result in
43	<	slight changes to the host names appearing in log files under
44	<	relatively rare circumstances.
40	>	You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
41	>	this from libc.
42
43	<	20051220:
44	<	Scripts in the local_startup directories (as defined in
48	<	/etc/defaults/rc.conf) that have the new rc.d semantics will
49	<	now be run as part of the base system rcorder. If there are
50	<	errors or problems with one of these local scripts, it could
51	<	cause boot problems. If you encounter such problems, boot in
52	<	single user mode, remove that script from the */rc.d directory.
53	<	Please report the problem to the port's maintainer, and the
54	<	freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list.
43	>	You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
44	>	installed.
45
46	<	20051215:
47	<	The setkey(8) utility was moved from /usr/sbin/setkey to /sbin/setkey.
48	<	You may want to update scripts which depend on its location.
46	>	20070401:
47	>	Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
48	>	provide us with much greater security and stability in the
49	>	long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
50	>	follow the these instructions:
51
52	<	20051108:
53	<	rp(4)'s device files now contain the unit number.
54	<	Uses of {cua,tty}R[0-9a-f] should be replaced by {cua,tty}R0[0-9a-f].

57
58	<	20051101:
59	<	FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE
58	>	It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
59	>	prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
60	>	or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
61	>	and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
62	>	fix.
63
64	<	20051001:
65	<	kern.polling.enable sysctl MIB is now deprecated. Use ifconfig(8)
69	<	to turn polling(4) on your interfaces.
64	>	20070314:
65	>	Remove send-pr from src.
66
67	<	20050722:
72	<	The ai_addrlen of a struct addrinfo was changed to a socklen_t
73	<	to conform to POSIX-2001.  This change broke an ABI
74	<	compatibility on 64 bit architecture.  You have to recompile
75	<	userland programs that use getaddrinfo(3) on 64 bit
76	<	architecture.
67	>	Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
68
69	<	20050711:
79	<	RELENG_6 branched here.
69	>	Bump MBSD minor revision.
70
71	<	20050629:
72	<	The pccard_ifconfig rc.conf variable has been removed and a new
83	<	variable, ifconfig_DEFAULT has been introduced.  Unlike
84	<	pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT applies to ALL interfaces that
85	<	do not have ifconfig_ifn entries rather than just those in
86	<	removable_interfaces.
71	>	20070313:
72	>	Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
73
74	<	20050616:
89	<	Some previous versions of PAM have permitted the use of
90	<	non-absolute paths in /etc/pam.conf or /etc/pam.d/* when referring
91	<	to third party PAM modules in /usr/local/lib.  A change has been
92	<	made to require the use of absolute paths in order to avoid
93	<	ambiguity and dependence on library path configuration, which may
94	<	affect existing configurations.
74	>	Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
75
76	<	20050610:
77	<	Major changes to network interface API.  All drivers must be
98	<	recompiled.  Drivers not in the base system will need to be
99	<	updated to the new APIs.
76	>	Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
77	>	the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
78
79	<	20050609:
80	<	Changes were made to kinfo_proc in sys/user.h.  Please recompile
81	<	userland, or commands like `fstat', `pkill', `ps', `top' and `w'
104	<	will not behave correctly.
79	>	20070312:
80	>	Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
81	>	BSD Daemon files from src/share.
82
83	<	The API and ABI for hwpmc(4) have changed with the addition
84	<	of sampling support.  Please recompile lib/libpmc(3) and
85	<	usr.sbin/{pmcstat,pmccontrol}.
83	>	20070308:
84	>	Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
85	>	the Dell perc5i.
86
87	<	20050606:
88	<	The OpenBSD dhclient was imported in place of the ISC dhclient
89	<	and the network interface configuration scripts were updated
113	<	accordingly.  If you use DHCP to configure your interfaces, you
114	<	must now run devd.  Also, DNS updating was lost so you will need
115	<	to find a workaround if you use this feature.
87	>	20070206:
88	>	Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
89	>	/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
90
91	<	20050605:
92	<	if_bridge was added to the tree. This has changed struct ifnet.
119	<	Please recompile userland and all network related modules.
91	>	Those who install from a snapshot after this date
92	>	will not be effected.
93
94	<	20050603:
95	<	The n_net of a struct netent was changed to an uint32_t, and
96	<	1st argument of getnetbyaddr() was changed to an uint32_t, to
124	<	conform to POSIX-2001.  These changes broke an ABI
125	<	compatibility on 64 bit architecture.  With these changes,
126	<	shlib major of libpcap was bumped.  You have to recompile
127	<	userland programs that use getnetbyaddr(3), getnetbyname(3),
128	<	getnetent(3) and/or libpcap on 64 bit architecture.
94	>	20070119:
95	>	Added audit group.  Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
96	>	before installing world.
97
98	<	20050528:
131	<	Kernel parsing of extra options on '#!' first lines of shell
132	<	scripts has changed.  Lines with multiple options likely will
133	<	fail after this date.  For full details, please see
134	<	http://people.freebsd.org/~gad/Updating-20050528.txt
98	>	hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
99
100	<	20050503:
101	<	The packet filter (pf) code has been updated to OpenBSD 3.7
138	<	Please note the changed anchor syntax and the fact that
139	<	authpf(8) now needs a mounted fdescfs(5) to function.
100	>	An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
101	>	unbreak world.
102
103	<	20050415:
142	<	The NO_MIXED_MODE kernel option has been removed from the i386
143	<	amd64 platforms as its use has been superceded by the new local
144	<	APIC timer code.  Any kernel config files containing this option
145	<	should be updated.
103	>	wpa_supplicant was updated.
104
105	<	20050227:
106	<	The on-disk format of LC_CTYPE files was changed to be machine
107	<	independent.  Please make sure NOT to use NO_CLEAN buildworld
108	<	when crossing this point. Crossing this point also requires
109	<	recompile or reinstall of all locale depended packages.
105	>	For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
106	>	sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release.  Nearly every change between the original
107	>	fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
108	>	2006 will be merged.  Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
109	>	will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
110
111	<	20050225:
112	<	The ifi_epoch member of struct if_data has been changed to
155	<	contain the uptime at which the interface was created or the
156	<	statistics zeroed rather then the wall clock time because
157	<	wallclock time may go backwards.  This should have no impact
158	<	unless an snmp implementation is using this value (I know of
159	<	none at this point.)
111	>	20061231:
112	>	Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.
113
114	<	20050224:
162	<	The acpi_perf and acpi_throttle drivers are now part of the
163	<	acpi(4) main module.  They are no longer built separately.
114	>	Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.
115
116	<	20050223:
117	<	The layout of struct image_params has changed. You have to
118	<	recompile all compatibility modules (linux, svr4, etc) for use
119	<	with the new kernel.
116	>	Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
117	>	synced all commits between the fork and that version.  It is now safe
118	>	to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
119	>	Feb 26, 2006.
120
121	<	20050223:
122	<	The p4tcc driver has been merged into cpufreq(4).  This makes
123	<	"options CPU_ENABLE_TCC" obsolete.  Please load cpufreq.ko or
173	<	compile in "device cpufreq" to restore this functionality.
121	>	Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD.  Also added additional
122	>	dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
123	>	/usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math
124
125	<	20050220:
176	<	The responsibility of recomputing the file system summary of
177	<	a SoftUpdates-enabled dirty volume has been transferred to the
178	<	background fsck.  A rebuild of fsck(8) utility is recommended
179	<	if you have updated the kernel.
125	>	Numerous man page and bug fixes.
126
127	<	To get the old behavior (recompute file system summary at mount
128	<	time), you can set vfs.ffs.compute_summary_at_mount=1 before
129	<	mounting the new volume.
127	>	20061226:
128	>	Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
129	>	MidnightBSD CVSup server.
130
131	<	20050206:
132	<	The cpufreq import is complete.  As part of this, the sysctls for
187	<	acpi(4) throttling have been removed.  The power_profile script
188	<	has been updated, so you can use performance/economy_cpu_freq in
189	<	rc.conf(5) to set AC on/offline cpu frequencies.
131	>	Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
132	>	erasing CDRW media.
133
134	<	20050206:
135	<	NG_VERSION has been increased. Recompiling kernel (or ng_socket.ko)
193	<	requires recompiling libnetgraph and userland netgraph utilities.
134	>	Add csup to /usr/bin.  csup is a CVSup replacement written
135	>	in C.
136
137	<	20050114:
196	<	Support for abbreviated forms of a number of ipfw options is
197	<	now deprecated.  Warnings are printed to stderr indicating the
198	<	correct full form when a match occurs.  Some abbreviations may
199	<	be supported at a later date based on user feedback.  To be
200	<	considered for support, abbreviations must be in use prior to
201	<	this commit and unlikely to be confused with current key words.
137	>	Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
138
139	<	20041221:
140	<	By a popular demand, a lot of NOFOO options were renamed
205	<	to NO_FOO (see bsd.compat.mk for a full list).  The old
206	<	spellings are still supported, but will cause annoying
207	<	warnings on stderr.  Make sure you upgrade properly (see
208	<	the COMMON ITEMS: section later in this file).
139	>	Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
140	>	geom.  Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
141
142	<	20041219:
143	<	Auto-loading of ancillary wlan modules such as wlan_wep has
144	<	been temporarily disabled; you need to statically configure
145	<	the modules you need into your kernel or explicitly load them
214	<	prior to use.  Specifically, if you intend to use WEP encryption
215	<	with an 802.11 device load/configure wlan_wep; if you want to
216	<	use WPA with the ath driver load/configure wlan_tkip, wlan_ccmp,
217	<	and wlan_xauth as required.
142	>	20061225:
143	>	Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
144	>	that caused long double to long and long long
145	>	conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
146
147	<	20041213:
148	<	The behaviour of ppp(8) has changed slightly.  If lqr is enabled
149	<	(``enable lqr''), older versions would revert to LCP ECHO mode on
222	<	negotiation failure.  Now, ``enable echo'' is required for this
223	<	behaviour.  The ppp version number has been bumped to 3.4.2 to
224	<	reflect the change.
147	>	20061221:
148	>	Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
149	>	batteries are present.
150
151	<	20041201:
152	<	The wlan support has been updated to split the crypto support
228	<	into separate modules.  For static WEP you must configure the
229	<	wlan_wep module in your system or build and install the module
230	<	in place where it can be loaded (the kernel will auto-load
231	<	the module when a wep key is configured).
151	>	Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
152	>	RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
153
154	<	20041201:
234	<	The ath driver has been updated to split the tx rate control
235	<	algorithm into a separate module.  You need to include either
236	<	ath_rate_onoe or ath_rate_amrr when configuring the kernel.
154	>	Corrected a bug with TTY.
155
156	<	20041116:
157	<	Support for systems with an 80386 CPU has been removed.  Please
158	<	use FreeBSD 5.x or earlier on systems with an 80386.
156	>	20061218:
157	>	Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
158	>	threads don't get scheduled.
159
160	<	20041110:
161	<	We have had a hack which would mount the root filesystem
244	<	R/W if the device were named 'md*'.  As part of the vnode
245	<	work I'm doing I have had to remove this hack.  People
246	<	building systems which use preloaded MD root filesystems
247	<	may need to insert a "/sbin/mount -u -o rw /dev/md0 /" in
248	<	their /etc/rc scripts.
160	>	20061206:
161	>	Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
162
163	<	20041104:
164	<	FreeBSD 5.3 shipped here.
163	>	20061129:
164	>	Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
165
166	<	20041102:
167	<	The size of struct tcpcb has changed again due to the removal
255	<	of RFC1644 T/TCP.  You have to recompile userland programs that
256	<	read kmem for tcp sockets directly (netstat, sockstat, etc.)
166	>	Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
167	>	FreeBSD.
168
169	<	20041022:
170	<	The size of struct tcpcb has changed.  You have to recompile
260	<	userland programs that read kmem for tcp sockets directly
261	<	(netstat, sockstat, etc.)
169	>	20061031:
170	>	Updated man pages in section 7.
171
172	<	20041016:
173	<	RELENG_5 branched here.  For older entries, please see updating
174	<	in the RELENG_5 branch.
172	>	20061030:
173	>	Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon
174	>	r300 cards properly.
175
176	<	COMMON ITEMS:
176	>	Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
177
178	<	General Notes
270	<	-------------
271	<	Avoid using make -j when upgrading.  From time to time in the
272	<	past there have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or
273	<	installworld.  This is especially true when upgrading between
274	<	"distant" versions (eg one that cross a major release boundary
275	<	or several minor releases, or when several months have passed
276	<	on the -current branch).
178	>	Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
179
180	<	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
181	<	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
182	<	environment when searching for values for global variables.
183	<	To run your build attempts in an "environmental clean room",
184	<	prefix all make commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual
283	<	page for more details.
180	>	20061027:
181	>	Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
182	>	random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated.  Changes
183	>	to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
184	>	commited.
185
186	<	Due to several updates to the build infrastructure, source
286	<	upgrades from versions prior to 5.3 no longer supported.
186	>	lukemftpd updated.
187
188	<	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally
189	<	best to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch
290	<	first, then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested
291	<	upgrade path, and has the highest probability of being successful.
292	<	Please try this approach before reporting problems with a major
293	<	version upgrade.
188	>	openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
189	>	seeding.
