13 +        Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
14 +
15 +        Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
16 +
17 +        "OSREVISION 4004"
18 +
19 +        nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
20 +
21 +        tzdata2011c
22 +
23 + 20110220:
24 +        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
25 +
26 + 20110219:
27 +        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
28 +
29 + 20110217:
30 +        Perl 5.10.1 imported
31 +
32 + 20110216:
33 +        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
34 +        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
35 +        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
36 +        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
37 +
38 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
39 +
40 + 20110215:
41 +        age(4) added.
42 +
43 + 20110208:
44 +        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
45 +
46 + 20110206:
47 +        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
48 +
49 + 20110205:
50 +        OpenSSH 5.7p1
51 +
52 +        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
53 +
54 + 20110203:
55 +        one true awk 20100523 imported
56 +
57 +        sqlite 3.7.5
58 +
59 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
60 +
61 + 20110202:
62 +        tcsh 6.17.00
63 +
64 +        file 5.05
65 +
66 + 20110122:
67 +        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
68 +        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
69 +
70 + 20110120:
71 +        BIND 9.6.2-P3
72 +
73 +        sudo 1.7.4-p6
74 +
75 + 20110115:
76 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
77 +
78 + 20101130:
79 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
80 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
81 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
82 +
83 + 20101120:
84 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
85 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
86 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
87 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
88 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
89 +
90 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
91 +
92 + 20101110:
93 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
94 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
95 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
96 +
97 + 20101021:
98 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
99 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
100 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
101 +
102 + 20100920:
103 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
104 +
105 + 20100905:
106 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
107 +        for 0.4.
108 +
109 + 20100902:
110 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
111 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
112 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
113 +
114 + 20100822:
115 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
116 +
117 + 20100814:
118 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
119 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
120 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
121 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
122 +        may not like.
123 +
124 + 20100713:
125 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
126 +
127 + 20100704:
128 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
129 +
130 + 20100505:
131 +        zlib 1.2.5
132 +
133 + 20100430:
134 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
135 +
136 + 20100321:
137 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
138 +
139 + 20100319:
140 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
141 +
142 + 20100317:
143 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
144 +        Mexico.
145 +
146 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
147 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
148 +
149 + 20100313:
150 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
151 +
152 + 20100312:
153 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
154 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
155 +
156 + 20100311:
157 +        mksh R39c
158 +
159 + 20100309:
160 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
161 +
162 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
163 +
164 +        mksh R39b
165 +
166 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
167 +
168 + 20100206:
169 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
170 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
171 +
172 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
173 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
174 +
175 + 20100204:
176 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
177 +        segfaulting.  
178 +
179 + 20100116:
180 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
181 +
182 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
183 +
184 + 20100110:
185 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
186 +
187 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
188 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
189 +        older current systems.
190 +
191 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
192 +
193 + 20100106:
194 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
195 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
196 +
197 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
198 +
199 + 20091228:
200 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
201 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
202 +
203 + 20091205:
204 +        OpenSSL security fix
205 +
206 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
207 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
208 +
209 + 20091128:
210 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
211 +
212 + 20091126:
213 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
214 +
215 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
216 +
217 +        mksh R39
218 +
219 + 20091124:
220 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
221 +
222 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
223 +
224 + 20091010:
225 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
226 +        to test current.
227 +
228 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
229 +        on amd64 systems.
230 +
231 + 20091006:
232 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
233 +        Argentina changes.
234 +
235 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
236 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
237 +
238 + 20090919:
239 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
240 +
241 + 20090729:
242 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
243 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
244 +
245 + 20090606:
246 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
247 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
248 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
249 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
250 +
251 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
252 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
253 +        system which makes no sense.
254 +
255 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
256 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
257 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
258 +        an external device.
259 +
260 + 20090520:
261 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
262 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
263 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
264 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
265 +        out my new Phenom too.
266 +
267 + 20090502:
268 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
269 +
270 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
271 +
272 + 20090501:
273 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
274 +
275 + 20090422:
276 +        OpenSSL security update
277 +
278 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
279 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
280 +
281 + 20090415:
282 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
283 +
284 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
285 +
286 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
287 +        tools to fail.
288 +
289 + 20090405:
290 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
291 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
292 +        add
293 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
294 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
295 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
296 +
297 + 20090403:
298 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
299 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
300 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
301 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
302 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
303 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
304 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
305 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
306 +
307 + 20090328:
308 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
309 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
310 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
311 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
312 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
313 +        an optional build parameter.  
314 +
315 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
316 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
317 +
318 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
319 +        default for login and profile.
320 +
321 + 20090327:
322 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
323 +
324 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
325 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
326 +        on mports.
327 +
328 + 20090325:
329 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
330 +
331 +        Update mksh to R36b
332 +
333 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
334 +
335 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
336 +
337 + 20090115:
338 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
339 +
340 + 20090110:
341 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
342 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
343 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
344 +
345 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
346 +        affected.
347 +
348 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
349 +
350 + 20090104:
351 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
352 +
353 + 20090101:
354 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
355 +
356 + 20081231:
357 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
358 +        properly initialized.
359 +
360 +        Happy 2009.
361 +
362 + 20081206:
363 +        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
364 +        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
365 +        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
366 +        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.  
367 +
368 +        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
369 +        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
370 +
371 +        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
372 +
373 +        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
374 +        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
375 +        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
376 +        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
377 +        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
378 +
379 + 20081204:
380 +        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
381 +        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
382 +        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
383 +        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
384 +        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
385 +
386 +        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
387 +        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
388 +        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
389 +        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
390 +        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
391 +
392 + 20080905:
393 +        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
394 +
395 + 20080801:
396 +        Import OpenBSM 1.0
397 +
398 +        Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
399 +
400 +        etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
401 +
402 +        Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
403 +
404 +        The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
405 +
406 + 20080703:
407 +        pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
408 +        or posibly jails.
409 +
410 + 20080627:
411 +        Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
412 +
413 +        Add glabel to GENERIC.
414 +
415 +        Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
416 +
417 +        pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
418 +
419 +        ath added to GENERIC.  (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
420 +
421 + 20080528:
422 +        Sendmail 8.14.3
423 +
424   20080516:
425          ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
426          were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
