96 >        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
97 >        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
98 >        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
99 >        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
100 >        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
101 >
102 >        newfs and growfs was also modified.
103 >
104 > 20101110:
105 >        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel

121 > 20100902:
122 >        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
123 >        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
124 >        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
125 >
126 > 20100822:
127 >        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
128 >
129 > 20100814:
130 >        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
131 >        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
132 >        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
133 >        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
134 >        may not like.
135 >
136 > 20100713:

257 > 20090606:
258 >        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
259 >        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
260 >        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
261 >        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
262 >
263 >        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
264 >        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
265 >        system which makes no sense.
266 >
267 >        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
268 >        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
269 >        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
270 >        an external device.
271 >
272 > 20090520:
273 >        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
274 >        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
275 >        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
276 >        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
277 >        out my new Phenom too.
278 >
279 > 20090502:

301 > 20090405:
302 >        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not

304 >        add
305 >                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"

308 >
309 > 20090403:
310 >        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
311 >        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
312 >        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
313 >        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
314 >        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
315 >        testing by users and developers of mksh without
316 >        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
317 >        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
318 >
319 > 20090328:
320 >        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
321 >        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
322 >        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
323 >        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
324 >        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
325 >        an optional build parameter.  
326 >
327 >        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
328 >        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
329 >
330 >        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
331 >        default for login and profile.
332 >
333 > 20090327:
334 >        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
335 >
336 >        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
337 >        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
