3 > 20110308:
4 >        Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
5  
6 + 20110220:
7 +        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
8 +
9 + 20110219:
10 +        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
11 +
12 + 20110217:
13 +        Perl 5.10.1 imported
14 +
15 + 20110216:
16 +        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
17 +        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
18 +        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
19 +        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
20 +
21 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
22 +
23 + 20110215:
24 +        age(4) added.
25 +
26 + 20110208:
27 +        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
28 +
29 + 20110206:
30 +        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
31 +
32 + 20110205:
33 +        OpenSSH 5.7p1
34 +
35 +        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
36 +
37 + 20110203:
38 +        one true awk 20100523 imported
39 +
40 +        sqlite 3.7.5
41 +
42 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
43 +
44 + 20110202:
45 +        tcsh 6.17.00
46 +
47 +        file 5.05
48 +
49 + 20110122:
50 +        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
51 +        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
52 +
53 + 20110120:
54 +        BIND 9.6.2-P3
55 +
56 +        sudo 1.7.4-p6
57 +
58 + 20110115:
59 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
60 +
61 + 20101130:
62 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
63 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
64 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
65 +
66 + 20101120:
67 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
68 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
69 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
70 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
71 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
72 +
73 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
74 +
75 + 20101110:
76 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
77 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
78 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
79 +
80 + 20101021:
81 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
82 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
83 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
84 +
85 + 20100920:
86 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
87 +
88 + 20100905:
89 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
90 +        for 0.4.
91 +
92 + 20100902:
93 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
94 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
95 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
96 +
97 + 20100822:
98 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
99 +
100 + 20100814:
101 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
102 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
103 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
104 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
105 +        may not like.
106 +
107 + 20100713:
108 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
109 +
110 + 20100704:
111 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
112 +
113 + 20100505:
114 +        zlib 1.2.5
115 +
116 + 20100430:
117 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
118 +
119 + 20100321:
120 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
121 +
122 + 20100319:
123 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
124 +
125 + 20100317:
126 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
127 +        Mexico.
128 +
129 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
130 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
131 +
132 + 20100313:
133 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
134 +
135 + 20100312:
136 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
137 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
138 +
139 + 20100311:
140 +        mksh R39c
141 +
142 + 20100309:
143 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
144 +
145 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
146 +
147 +        mksh R39b
148 +
149 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
150 +
151 + 20100206:
152 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
153 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
154 +
155 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
156 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
157 +
158 + 20100204:
159 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
160 +        segfaulting.  
161 +
162 + 20100116:
163 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
164 +
165 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
166 +
167 + 20100110:
168 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
169 +
170 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
171 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
172 +        older current systems.
173 +
174 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
175 +
176 + 20100106:
177 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
178 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
179 +
180 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
181 +
182 + 20091228:
183 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
184 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
185 +
186 + 20091205:
187 +        OpenSSL security fix
188 +
189 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
190 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
191 +
192 + 20091128:
193 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
194 +
195 + 20091126:
196 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
197 +
198 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
199 +
200 +        mksh R39
201 +
202 + 20091124:
203 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
204 +
205 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
206 +
207 + 20091010:
208 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
209 +        to test current.
210 +
211 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
212 +        on amd64 systems.
213 +
214 + 20091006:
215 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
216 +        Argentina changes.
217 +
218 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
219 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
220 +
221 + 20090919:
222 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
223 +
224 + 20090729:
225 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
226 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
227 +
228 + 20090606:
229 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
230 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
231 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
232 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
233 +
234 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
235 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
236 +        system which makes no sense.
237 +
238 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
239 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
240 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
241 +        an external device.
242 +
243 + 20090520:
244 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
245 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
246 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
247 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
248 +        out my new Phenom too.
249 +
250 + 20090502:
251 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
252 +
253 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
254 +
255 + 20090501:
256 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
257 +
258 + 20090422:
259 +        OpenSSL security update
260 +
261 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
262 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
263 +
264 + 20090415:
265 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
266 +
267 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
268 +
269 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
270 +        tools to fail.
271 +
272 + 20090405:
273 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
274 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
275 +        add
276 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
277 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
278 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
279 +
280 + 20090403:
281 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
282 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
283 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
284 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
285 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
286 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
287 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
288 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
289 +
290 + 20090328:
291 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
292 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
293 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
294 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
295 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
296 +        an optional build parameter.  
297 +
298 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
299 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
300 +
301 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
302 +        default for login and profile.
303 +
304 + 20090327:
305 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
306 +
307 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
308 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
309 +        on mports.
310 +
311 + 20090325:
312 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
313 +
314 +        Update mksh to R36b
315 +
316 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
317 +
318 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
319 +
320 + 20090115:
321 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
322 +
323 + 20090110:
324 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
325 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
326 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
327 +
328 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
329 +        affected.
330 +
331 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
332 +
333 + 20090104:
334 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
335 +
336 + 20090101:
337 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
338 +
339 + 20081231:
340 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
341 +        properly initialized.
342 +
343 +        Happy 2009.
344 +
345 + 20081206:
346 +        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
347 +        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
348 +        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
349 +        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.  
350 +
351 +        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
352 +        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
353 +
354 +        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
355 +
356 +        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
357 +        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
358 +        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
359 +        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
360 +        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
361 +
362 + 20081204:
363 +        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
364 +        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
365 +        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
366 +        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
367 +        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
368 +
369 +        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
370 +        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
371 +        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
372 +        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
373 +        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
374 +
375 + 20080905:
376 +        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
377 +
378 + 20080801:
379 +        Import OpenBSM 1.0
380 +
381 +        Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
382 +
383 +        etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
384 +
385 +        Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
386 +
387 +        The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
388 +
389 + 20080703:
390 +        pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
391 +        or posibly jails.
392 +
393 + 20080627:
394 +        Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
395 +
396 +        Add glabel to GENERIC.
397 +
398 +        Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
399 +
400 +        pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
401 +
402 +        ath added to GENERIC.  (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
403 +
404 + 20080528:
405 +        Sendmail 8.14.3
406 +
407   20080516:
408          ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
409          were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
