2  
3 + 20120229:
4 +        cpucontrol(8) and cpuctl(4) added from FreeBSD 7-stable.
5 +
6 + 20120209:
7 +        mDNSResponder 333.10 imported
8 +
9 + 20111227:
10 +        import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8)
11 +
12 +        This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel
13 +        memory.
14 +
15 + 20111223:
16 +        telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked
17 +
18 +        pam: don't allow escape from policy path.  Exploitable in KDE, etc.
19 +
20 +        Fix pam_ssh module:
21 +
22 +        If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
23 +        to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
24 +
25 +        This has to due with the way that openssl works.  It ignores unencrpted data.
26 +
27 +        Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd.
28 +
29 +        nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
30 +        operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
31 +        hole in things like ftpd.
32 +
33 + 20111217:
34 +        libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not
35 +        backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog
36 +
37 + 20111212:
38 +        mksh r40d imported
39 +
40 + 20111210:
41 +        re(4) and rl(4) updated to support new chips.
42 +
43 +        GEOM synced with FreeBSD 7-stable.
44 +
45 +        MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and
46 +        setup in boot loader and GEOM.
47 +
48 +        amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support
49 +        8xx series chipset.
50 +
51 + 20111207:
52 +        import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD.
53 +
54 +        MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed
55 +        as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep.
56 +
57 + 20111122:
58 +        mksh vR40c imported.
59 +
60 + 20111117:
61 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5 P1
62 +
63 + 20111107:
64 +        tzdata 2011n
65 +
66 + 20111026:
67 +        mDNSResponder v320
68 +
69 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5
70 +
71 + 20111022:
72 +        cflow 0.0.6 imported
73 +
74 + 20111020:
75 +        less v436 imported
76 +
77 +        amdsbwd(4) AMD southbridge watchdog
78 +
79 + 20111019:
80 +        awk 20110810 imported
81 +
82 +        et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
83 +        not included in GENERIC kernel.  The kernel module needs
84 +        testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
85 +
86 +        intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
87 +        specific CPU core.
88 +
89 + 20111017:
90 +        Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
91 +
92 +        Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
93 +
94 + 20111015:
95 +        Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
96 +        to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
97 +        process. Several new system calls were added to support this
98 +        functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
99 +        compatibility on amd64.
100 +
101 +        The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
102 +        amd64.  Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
103 +        for this feature.
104 +
105 +        This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
106 +
107 + 20111004:
108 +        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
109 +        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
110 +        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
111 +
112 + 20111001:
113 +        Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
114 +        now default and an environment variable must be set to use
115 +        active.
116 +
117 + 20110930:
118 +        Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
119 +        USB cameras.  Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
120 +
121 +        Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
122 +        Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
123 +        when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
124 +        offloading.
125 +
126 +        Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
127 +        working with large raid3 sets.
128 +
129 +        Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
130 +
131 + 20110929:
132 +        Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
133 +
134 +        The following modules are no longer available, and should be
135 +        removed from loader.conf:
136 +        ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
137 +
138 +        alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
139 +        required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
140 +        a connection could be established.  Disable hibernation.
141 +
142 + 20110928:
143 +        Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
144 +        files that are corrupted.
145 +
146 +        Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
147 +
148 + 20110917:
149 +        Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
150 +        it's in the base system.
151 +
152 + 20110914:
153 +        Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
154 +
155 + 20110813:
156 +        synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
157 +
158 + 20110806:
159 +        sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
160 +
161 +        msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added.  msearch(1) provides
162 +        a full text search command line tool.  libmsearch can also be used
163 +        to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
164 +        index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
165 +        /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool.  Full text indexes take considerable
166 +        space in /var.  I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
167 +
168 +        Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
169 +        versions.  This will be obsolete with mport though.
170 +
171 + 20110710:
172 +        kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
173 +        know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
174 +
175 +        Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
176 +
177 + 20110709:
178 +        cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
179 +        with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
180 +
181 + 20110612:
182 +        Update mksh to R40
183 +
184 +        Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x.  Good to run when
185 +        updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
186 +
187 + 20110528:
188 +        Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x.  This affects caching resolvers.
189 +
190 + 20110526:
191 +        newfs:
192 +        Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
193 +        16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
194 +
195 +        This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
196 +        hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
197 +        have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes.  Of course
198 +        the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
199 +
200   20110521:
201          mport tool now has a deleteall command.  This can be used to remove
202          all packages from a system.
