4 >        zlib 1.2.5
5  
6 + 20100430:
7 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
8 +
9 + 20100321:
10 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
11 +
12 + 20100319:
13 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
14 +
15 + 20100317:
16 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
17 +        Mexico.
18 +
19 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
20 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
21 +
22 + 20100313:
23 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
24 +
25 + 20100312:
26 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
27 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
28 +
29 + 20100311:
30 +        mksh R39c
31 +
32 + 20100309:
33 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
34 +
35 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
36 +
37 +        mksh R39b
38 +
39 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
40 +
41 + 20100206:
42 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
43 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
44 +
45 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
46 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
47 +
48 + 20100204:
49 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
50 +        segfaulting.  
51 +
52 + 20100116:
53 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
54 +
55 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
56 +
57 + 20100110:
58 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
59 +
60 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
61 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
62 +        older current systems.
63 +
64 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
65 +
66 + 20100106:
67 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
68 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
69 +
70 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
71 +
72 + 20091228:
73 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
74 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
75 +
76 + 20091205:
77 +        OpenSSL security fix
78 +
79 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
80 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
81 +
82 + 20091128:
83 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
84 +
85 + 20091126:
86 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
87 +
88 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
89 +
90 +        mksh R39
91 +
92 + 20091124:
93 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
94 +
95 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
96 +
97 + 20091010:
98 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
99 +        to test current.
100 +
101 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
102 +        on amd64 systems.
103 +
104 + 20091006:
105 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
106 +        Argentina changes.
107 +
108 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
109 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
110 +
111 + 20090919:
112 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
113 +
114 + 20090729:
115 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
116 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
117 +
118 + 20090606:
119 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
120 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
121 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
122 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
123 +
124 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
125 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
126 +        system which makes no sense.
127 +
128 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
129 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
130 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
131 +        an external device.
132 +
133 + 20090520:
134 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
135 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
136 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
137 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
138 +        out my new Phenom too.
139 +
140 + 20090502:
141 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
142 +
143 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
144 +
145 + 20090501:
146 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
147 +
148 + 20090422:
149 +        OpenSSL security update
150 +
151 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
152 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
153 +
154 + 20090415:
155 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
156 +
157 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
158 +
159 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
160 +        tools to fail.
161 +
162 + 20090405:
163 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
164 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
165 +        add
166 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
167 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
168 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
169 +
170 + 20090403:
171 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
172 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
173 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
174 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
175 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
176 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
177 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
178 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
179 +
180 + 20090328:
181 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
182 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
183 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
184 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
185 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
186 +        an optional build parameter.  
187 +
188 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
189 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
190 +
191 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
192 +        default for login and profile.
193 +
194 + 20090327:
195 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
196 +
197 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
198 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
199 +        on mports.
200 +
201 + 20090325:
202 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
203 +
204 +        Update mksh to R36b
205 +
206 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
207 +
208 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
209 +
210 + 20090115:
211 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
212 +
213 + 20090110:
214 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
215 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
216 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
217 +
218 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
219 +        affected.
220 +
221 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
222 +
223 + 20090104:
224 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
225 +
226 + 20090101:
227 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
228 +
229 + 20081231:
230 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
231 +        properly initialized.
232 +
233 +        Happy 2009.
234 +
235 + 20081206:
236 +        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
237 +        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
238 +        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
239 +        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.  
240 +
241 +        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
242 +        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
243 +
244 +        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
245 +
246 +        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
247 +        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
248 +        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
249 +        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
250 +        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
251 +
252 + 20081204:
253 +        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
254 +        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
255 +        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
256 +        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
257 +        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
258 +
259 +        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
260 +        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
261 +        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
262 +        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
263 +        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
264 +
265 + 20080905:
266 +        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
267 +
268 + 20080801:
269 +        Import OpenBSM 1.0
270 +
271 +        Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
272 +
273 +        etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
274 +
275 +        Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
276 +
277 +        The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
278 +
279 + 20080703:
280 +        pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
281 +        or posibly jails.
282 +
283 + 20080627:
284 +        Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
285 +
286 +        Add glabel to GENERIC.
287 +
288 +        Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
289 +
290 +        pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
291 +
292 +        ath added to GENERIC.  (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
293 +
294 + 20080528:
295 +        Sendmail 8.14.3
296 +
297   20080516:
298          ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
299          were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
