5  
6 +        MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed
7 +        as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep.
8 +
9 + 20111122:
10 +        mksh vR40c imported.
11 +
12 + 20111117:
13 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5 P1
14 +
15 + 20111107:
16 +        tzdata 2011n
17 +
18 + 20111026:
19 +        mDNSResponder v320
20 +
21 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5
22 +
23 + 20111022:
24 +        cflow 0.0.6 imported
25 +
26 + 20111020:
27 +        less v436 imported
28 +
29 +        amdsbwd(4) AMD southbridge watchdog
30 +
31 + 20111019:
32 +        awk 20110810 imported
33 +
34 +        et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
35 +        not included in GENERIC kernel.  The kernel module needs
36 +        testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
37 +
38 +        intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
39 +        specific CPU core.
40 +
41 + 20111017:
42 +        Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
43 +
44 +        Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
45 +
46 + 20111015:
47 +        Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
48 +        to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
49 +        process. Several new system calls were added to support this
50 +        functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
51 +        compatibility on amd64.
52 +
53 +        The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
54 +        amd64.  Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
55 +        for this feature.
56 +
57 +        This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
58 +
59 + 20111004:
60 +        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
61 +        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
62 +        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
63 +
64 + 20111001:
65 +        Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
66 +        now default and an environment variable must be set to use
67 +        active.
68 +
69 + 20110930:
70 +        Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
71 +        USB cameras.  Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
72 +
73 +        Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
74 +        Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
75 +        when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
76 +        offloading.
77 +
78 +        Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
79 +        working with large raid3 sets.
80 +
81 +        Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
82 +
83 + 20110929:
84 +        Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
85 +
86 +        The following modules are no longer available, and should be
87 +        removed from loader.conf:
88 +        ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
89 +
90 +        alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
91 +        required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
92 +        a connection could be established.  Disable hibernation.
93 +
94 + 20110928:
95 +        Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
96 +        files that are corrupted.
97 +
98 +        Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
99 +
100 + 20110917:
101 +        Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
102 +        it's in the base system.
103 +
104 + 20110914:
105 +        Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
106 +
107 + 20110813:
108 +        synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
109 +
110 + 20110806:
111 +        sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
112 +
113 +        msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added.  msearch(1) provides
114 +        a full text search command line tool.  libmsearch can also be used
115 +        to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
116 +        index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
117 +        /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool.  Full text indexes take considerable
118 +        space in /var.  I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
119 +
120 +        Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
121 +        versions.  This will be obsolete with mport though.
122 +
123 + 20110710:
124 +        kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
125 +        know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
126 +
127 +        Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
128 +
129 + 20110709:
130 +        cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
131 +        with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
132 +
133 + 20110612:
134 +        Update mksh to R40
135 +
136 +        Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x.  Good to run when
137 +        updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
138 +
139 + 20110528:
140 +        Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x.  This affects caching resolvers.
141 +
142 + 20110526:
143 +        newfs:
144 +        Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
145 +        16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
146 +
147 +        This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
148 +        hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
149 +        have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes.  Of course
150 +        the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
151 +
152 + 20110521:
153 +        mport tool now has a deleteall command.  This can be used to remove
154 +        all packages from a system.
155 +
156 +        A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
157 +
158 + 20110518:
159 +        Perl 5.14.0
160 +
161 + 20110517:
162 +        Sendmail 8.14.5
163 +
164 + 20110314:
165 +        DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
166 +
167 +        cdevpriv wrappers added
168 +
169 +        nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
170 +
171 +        dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
172 +
173 + 20110308:
174 +        Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
175 +
176 +        Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
177 +
178 +        "OSREVISION 4004"
179 +
180 +        nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
181 +
182 +        tzdata2011c
183 +
184 + 20110220:
185 +        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
186 +
187 + 20110219:
188 +        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
189 +
190 + 20110217:
191 +        Perl 5.10.1 imported
192 +
193 + 20110216:
194 +        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
195 +        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
196 +        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
197 +        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
198 +
199 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
200 +
201 + 20110215:
202 +        age(4) added.
203 +
204 + 20110208:
205 +        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
206 +
207 + 20110206:
208 +        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
209 +
210 + 20110205:
211 +        OpenSSH 5.7p1
212 +
213 +        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
214 +
215 + 20110203:
216 +        one true awk 20100523 imported
217 +
218 +        sqlite 3.7.5
219 +
220 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
221 +
222 + 20110202:
223 +        tcsh 6.17.00
224 +
225 +        file 5.05
226 +
227 + 20110122:
228 +        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
229 +        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
230 +
231 + 20110120:
232 +        BIND 9.6.2-P3
233 +
234 +        sudo 1.7.4-p6
235 +
236 + 20110115:
237 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
238 +
239 + 20101130:
240 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
241 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
242 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
243 +
244 + 20101120:
245 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
246 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
247 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
248 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
249 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
250 +
251 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
252 +
253 + 20101110:
254 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
255 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
256 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
257 +
258 + 20101021:
259 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
260 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
261 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
262 +
263 + 20100920:
264 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
265 +
266 + 20100905:
267 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
268 +        for 0.4.
269 +
270 + 20100902:
271 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
272 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
273 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
274 +
275 + 20100822:
276 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
277 +
278 + 20100814:
279 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
280 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
281 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
282 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
283 +        may not like.
284 +
285 + 20100713:
286 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
287 +
288 + 20100704:
289 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
290 +
291 + 20100505:
292 +        zlib 1.2.5
293 +
294 + 20100430:
295 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
296 +
297 + 20100321:
298 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
299 +
300 + 20100319:
301 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
302 +
303 + 20100317:
304 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
305 +        Mexico.
306 +
307 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
308 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
309 +
310 + 20100313:
311 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
312 +
313 + 20100312:
314 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
315 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
316 +
317 + 20100311:
318 +        mksh R39c
319 +
320 + 20100309:
321 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
322 +
323 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
324 +
325 +        mksh R39b
326 +
327 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
328 +
329 + 20100206:
330 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
331 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
332 +
333 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
334 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
335 +
336 + 20100204:
337 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
338 +        segfaulting.  
339 +
340 + 20100116:
341 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
342 +
343 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
344 +
345 + 20100110:
346 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
347 +
348 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
349 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
350 +        older current systems.
351 +
352 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
353 +
354 + 20100106:
355 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
356 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
357 +
358 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
359 +
360 + 20091228:
361 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
362 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
363 +
364 + 20091205:
365 +        OpenSSL security fix
366 +
367 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
368 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
369 +
370 + 20091128:
371 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
372 +
373 + 20091126:
374 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
375 +
376 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
377 +
378 +        mksh R39
379 +
380 + 20091124:
381 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
382 +
383 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
384 +
385 + 20091010:
386 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
387 +        to test current.
388 +
389 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
390 +        on amd64 systems.
391 +
392 + 20091006:
393 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
394 +        Argentina changes.
395 +
396 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
397 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
398 +
399 + 20090919:
400 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
401 +
402 + 20090729:
403 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
404 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
405 +
406 + 20090606:
407 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
408 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
409 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
410 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
411 +
412 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
413 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
414 +        system which makes no sense.
415 +
416 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
417 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
418 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
419 +        an external device.
420 +
421 + 20090520:
422 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
423 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
424 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
425 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
426 +        out my new Phenom too.
427 +
428 + 20090502:
429 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
430 +
431 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
432 +
433 + 20090501:
434 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
435 +
436 + 20090422:
437 +        OpenSSL security update
438 +
439 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
440 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
441 +
442 + 20090415:
443 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
444 +
445 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
446 +
447 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
448 +        tools to fail.
449 +
450 + 20090405:
451 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
452 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
453 +        add
454 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
455 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
456 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
457 +
458 + 20090403:
459 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
460 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
461 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
462 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
463 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
464 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
465 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
466 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
467 +
468 + 20090328:
469 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
470 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
471 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
472 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
473 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
474 +        an optional build parameter.  
475 +
476 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
477 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
478 +
479 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
480 +        default for login and profile.
481 +
482 + 20090327:
483 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
484 +
485 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
486 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
487 +        on mports.
488 +
489 + 20090325:
490 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
491 +
492 +        Update mksh to R36b
493 +
494 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
495 +
496 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
497 +
498 + 20090115:
499 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
500 +
501 + 20090110:
502 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
503 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
504 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
505 +
506 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
507 +        affected.
508 +
509 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
510 +
511 + 20090104:
512 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
513 +
514 + 20090101:
515 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
516 +
517 + 20081231:
518 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
519 +        properly initialized.
520 +
521 +        Happy 2009.
522 +
523 + 20081206:
524 +        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
525 +        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
526 +        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
527 +        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.  
528 +
529 +        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
530 +        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
531 +
532 +        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
533 +
534 +        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
535 +        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
536 +        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
537 +        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
538 +        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
539 +
540 + 20081204:
541 +        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
542 +        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
543 +        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
544 +        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
545 +        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
546 +
547 +        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
548 +        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
549 +        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
550 +        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
551 +        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
552 +
553 + 20080905:
554 +        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
555 +
556 + 20080801:
557 +        Import OpenBSM 1.0
558 +
559 +        Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
560 +
561 +        etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
562 +
563 +        Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
564 +
565 +        The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
566 +
567 + 20080703:
568 +        pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
569 +        or posibly jails.
570 +
571 + 20080627:
572 +        Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
573 +
574 +        Add glabel to GENERIC.
575 +
576 +        Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
577 +
578 +        pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
579 +
580 +        ath added to GENERIC.  (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
581 +
582 + 20080528:
583 +        Sendmail 8.14.3
584 +
585 + 20080516:
586 +        ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
587 +        were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
588 +        few years.  sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
589 +        option.
590 +
591 +        The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
592 +
593 + 20080514:
594 +        Fixed a number of problems with pcc.  It is not yet connected
595 +        to the build, but usable on i386 hosts.  You may use it
596 +        by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc.  It will
597 +        install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
598 +        GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
599 +
600 +        System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
601 +        on MidnightBSD.  bin/cp will work now for instance.
602 +
603 + 20080430:
604 +        __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc.  This can be tested
605 +        to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
606 +
607 + 20080429:
608 +        Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
609 +
610 +        libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier
611 +        
612 +        pcvt(4) removed!
613 +
614 +        Alias added for core2 cpus.
615 +
616 +        Alpha and PC98 only utilities removed from usr/sbin
617 +
618 +        syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
619 +        improved.  See the man pages for info.
620 +
621 +        periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
622 +        See mailwrapper fix.
623 +
624 + 20080410:
625 +        Sync cpdup with DragonFly.  Add parallel transaction support and
626 +        -l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.
627 +
628   20080406:
629 +        Import bzip2 1.05
630          Import OpenSSH 4.9p1
