9	<	20060211:
10	<	An IPv6 support of ipfw was enabled by default.  If you don't
13	<	want to filter an IPv6 by ipfw, please add following line into
14	<	your ipfw rule:
9	>	20110518:
10	>	Perl 5.14.0
11
12	<	pass ip6 from any to any
12	>	20110517:
13	>	Sendmail 8.14.5
14
15	<	20060210:
16	<	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.
15	>	20110314:
16	>	DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
17
18	<	20060122:
28	<	/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.
18	>	cdevpriv wrappers added
19
20	<	20060113:
21	<	si(4)'s device files now contain the unit number.
22	<	Uses of {cua,tty}A[0-9a-f] should be replaced by {cua,tty}A0[0-9a-f].
20	>	nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.

95	>	20101120:
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

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

595
596	<	General Notes
597	<	-------------
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).
596	>	20070806:
597	>	Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
598
599	<	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
600	<	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
280	<	environment when searching for values for global variables.
281	<	To run your build attempts in an "environmental clean room",
282	<	prefix all make commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual
283	<	page for more details.
599	>	20070804:
600	>	BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
601
602	<	Due to several updates to the build infrastructure, source
286	<	upgrades from versions prior to 5.3 no longer supported.
602	>	We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
603
604	<	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally
605	<	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.
604	>	20070719:
605	>	Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
606
607	+	20070716:
608	+	Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
609	+
610	+	20070410:
611	+	cvs was updated to 1.12.13.  cvsbug was removed.
612	+	cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
613	+	most of their local changes.
614	+
615	+	20070409:
616	+	RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
617	+	continue here.
618	+
619	+	20070406:
620	+	Back out propolice.  propolice caused several problems
621	+	with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
622	+	curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
623	+	multithreaded applications would crash.  We plan to
624	+	work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
625	+	patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
626	+
627	+	It is more important to have a stable system for our
628	+	mport work and other projects at this time.
629	+
630	+	This is not a clean removal.  It is recommended that you
631	+	have a recently SNAP CD handy.  You can either reinstall
632	+	or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
633	+	make installkernel.  Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
634	+	of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
635	+	/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
636	+	your disk.  Then you should be able to boot into single user
637	+	mode and run make installworld.  You will need to run
638	+	chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
639	+	them.
640	+
641	+	You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
642	+	this from libc.
643	+
644	+	You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
645	+	installed.
646	+
647	+	20070401:
648	+	Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to

650	+	long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
651	+	follow the these instructions:
652	+
653	+	cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
654	+	cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
655	+	cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
656	+	cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
657	+	buildworld and kernel
658	+
659	+	It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
660	+	prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
661	+	or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
662	+	and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
663	+	fix.
664	+
665	+	20070314:

675	+	Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
676	+
677	+	Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
678	+	the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
679	+

686	+	the Dell perc5i.
687	+
688	+	20070206:

691	+
692	+	Those who install from a snapshot after this date
693	+	will not be effected.

708	+	fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
709	+	2006 will be merged.  Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and

713	+	Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.

720	+	Feb 26, 2006.
721	+
722	+	Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD.  Also added additional

739	+
740	+	Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
741	+	geom.  Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
742	+
743	+	20061225:
744	+	Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c

746	+	conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
747	+
748	+	20061221:
749	+	Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
750	+	batteries are present.

762	+	Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
763	+
764	+	20061129:

806	+
807	+	cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
808	+	on a per line basis.
809	+
810	+	The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
811	+	keyboard connected simultaneously.  USB keyboard support was also
812	+	improved with this patch.
813	+
814	+	The Intel em driver was updated.  Network performance was greatly
