7 +
8 + 20160102:
9 +        Happy New Year
10 +
11 + 20151101:
12 +        Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256.
13 +
14 + 20151017:
15 +        Add initial statistics api to libmport and a driver to print
16 +        it in mport(1).
17 +
18 + 20151002:
19 +        Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS
20 +
21 + 20150930:
22 +        In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in
23 +        two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer.  When one
24 +        of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure
25 +        would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon.
26 +
27 + 20150926:
28 +        libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec
29 +        to replace @exec and @unexec.  
30 +
31 +        pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation
32 +
33 +        post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and
34 +        pkg message.
35 +
36 +        pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts
37 +
38 +        post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal.
39 +
40 + 20150917:
41 +        Fix kqueue write events for files > 2GB
42 +
43 + 20150825:
44 +        kernel:
45 +        fix a security issue on amd64 where the GS segment CPU register can be changed via
46 +        userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions.
47 +
48 +        openssh:
49 +        A programming error in the privileged monitor process of the sshd(8)
50 +        service may allow the username of an already-authenticated user to be
51 +        overwritten by the unprivileged child process.
52 +
53 +        A use-after-free error in the privileged monitor process of he sshd(8)
54 +        service may be deterministically triggered by the actions of a
55 +        compromised unprivileged child process.
56 +
57 +        A use-after-free error in the session multiplexing code in the sshd(8)
58 +        service may result in unintended termination of the connection.
59 +
60 + 20150818:
61 +        expat security fix
62 +
63 + 20150815:
64 +        libc changes:
65 +        setmode(3) now returns errno consistently on error.
66 +        libc will compile without error using clang
67 +
68 + 20150814:
69 +        wait6 system call added.
70 +
71 +        date(1) now handles non numeric numbers passed to -r
72 +        like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility.
73 +
74 + 20150811:
75 +        ata(4) AMD Hudson2 SATA controller support.
76 +        Intel lynxpoint SATA.
77 +
78 +        Fix some const warnings when building several device drivers
79 +        with llvm/clang.
80 +
81 +        Sync cas(4) with FreeBSD 9-stable.
82 +
83 +        Fix some minor issues with ath(4).
84 +
85 + 20150809:
86 +        xz 5.0.8
87 +
88 + 20150808:
89 +        libmport now logs installation and removal of packages to syslog.
90 +
91 + 20150805:
92 +        routed - fix a potential security issue where traffic from outside
93 +        the network can disrupt routing.
94 +
95 +        bsd patch - fix a bug with ed(1) scripts allowing unsanitized input
96 +        to run.
97 +
98 + 20150802:
99 +        jansson 2.7 library added. (libjansson is a JSON library in C)
100 +
101 + 20150728:
102 +        Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation)
103 +
104 +        OpenSSL 1.0.1o
105 +
106 +        cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
107 +
108 +        TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
109 +        There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
110 +        global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
111 +        queues into a per-VNET limit.  Because mbufs are allocated from a
112 +        global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
113 +        total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
114 +        total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
115 +        traffic would cease.
116 +        Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
117 +
118 +        OpenSSH
119 +
120 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
121 +        OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
122 +        offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
123 +
124 +        OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
125 +        using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
126 +        MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
127 +
128 +
129 +        Switch to bsdpatch (from FreeBSD & OpenBSD)
130 +
131 + 20150726:
132 +        BSD Sort updated
133 +
134 +        sqlite 3.8.10.2
135 +
136 + 20150725:
137 +        Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.  
138 +
139 +        The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
140 +        nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
141 +        calculation nmemb * size.
142 +
143 + 20150722:
144 +        Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK
145 +        state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service.
146 +
147 + 20150715:
148 +        libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
149 +        a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
150 +        it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
151 +        .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
152 +        only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.
153 +
154 + 20150709:
155 +        flex 2.5.39
156 +
157 + 20150702:
158 +        ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it
159 +        with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path.
160 +
161 +        Verify it's working with
162 +        zfs get compressratio pool/path
163 +        du -h -s *
164 +
165 +        Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
166 +        changes. Existing files are not compressed.
167 +
168 +        Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
169 +        FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
170 +        and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
171 +        to ZFS.
172 +
173 + 20150621:
174 +        libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages.
175 +
176 +        The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc
177 +        for this to work. This is equivalent to running service <name> onestop
178 +
179 + 20150618:
180 +        Sendmail
181 +
182 +        With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates,
183 +        sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers.
184 +
185 +        Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to
186 +        match the server configuration.
187 +
188 +        ZFS
189 +
190 +        Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
191 +        ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
192 +
193 +        Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
194 +        first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
195 +        amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
196 +        to disable this behaviour.
197 +
198 +        ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
199 +        is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
200 +        via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
201 +
202 +        Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
203 +        under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.
204 +
205 +        rc.d
206 +
207 +        Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS
208 +        implies everything is mounted and ready to go.
209 +
210 +        Changed how ip6addressctl maps IPv6 on startup.
211 +
212 + 20150613:
213 +        tzdata 2015d
214 +
215 + 20150612:
216 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zg
217 +
218 + 20150419:
219 +        MidnightBSD 0.6 stable branch created. Continue 0.7
220 +        development.
221 +
222 + 20150418:
223 +        sqlite 3.8.9
224 +
225 + 20150407:
226 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities:
227 +
228 +        The previous fix for IGMP had an overflow issue. This has been corrected.
229 +
230 +        ipv6: The Neighbor Discover Protocol allows a local router to advertise a
231 +        suggested Current Hop Limit value of a link, which will replace
232 +        Current Hop Limit on an interface connected to the link on the MidnightBSD
233 +        system.
234 +
235 + 20150319:
236 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8.zf
237 +
238 +        mksh R50e
239 +
240 +        Apple mDNSResponder 561.1.1
241 +
242 + 20150306:
243 +        Upgrade OpenSSL to 0.9.8ze
244 +
245 + 20150225:
246 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
247 +
248 +        1. BIND servers which are configured to perform DNSSEC validation and which
249 +        are using managed keys (which occurs implicitly when using
250 +        "dnssec-validation auto;" or "dnssec-lookaside auto;") may exhibit
251 +        unpredictable behavior due to the use of an improperly initialized
252 +        variable.
253 +
254 +        CVE-2015-1349
255 +
256 +        2. An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result
257 +        in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.
258 +
259 +        This can result in a DOS attack.
260 +
261 + 20141211:
262 +        Fix a security issue with file and libmagic that can allow
263 +        an attacker to create a denial of service attack on any
264 +        program that uses libmagic.
265 +
266 + 20141109:
267 +        Fix building perl during buildworld when the GDBM port is installed.
268 +
269 + 20141106:
270 +        tzdata 2014i
271 +
272 + 20141102:
273 +        serf 1.3.8
274 +
275 + 20141031:
276 +        tnftp 20141031 fixes a security vulnerability with tnftp,
277 +        CVE-2014-8517.
278 +
279 + 20141028:
280 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8zc
281 +
282 + 20141021:
283 +        Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
284 +        and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
285 +        nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
286 +
287 +        The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
288 +        attempt to answer them.  However, the output path assumes that the
289 +        destination address for the response is on a directly connected
290 +        network.
291 +
292 +        Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,
293 +        a malformed router advertisement message can result in a stack buffer
294 +        overflow in rtsold(8).
295 +
296 + 20141011:
297 +        mksh R50d - fix field splitting regression and null
298 +        pointer dereference
299 +
300 +        xz 5.0.7
301 +
302 +        OpenSSH 6.6p1
303 +
304 + 20141004:
305 +        mksh R50c - security update for environment var bug with
306 +        foo vs foo+    
307 +
308 + 20141002:
309 +        sqlite 3.8.6
310 +
311 +        sudo 1.7.8 - some issues with the current version, but we're slowly
312 +        getting up to date.
313 +
314 + 20141001:
315 +        mksh R50b
316 +
317 +        libmport now supports plist commands @dir, @owner, @group, @mode.
318 +
319 +        sudo 1.7.6p2
320 +
321 + 20140916:
322 +        Fix a security issue with TCP SYN.
323 +
324 +        When a segment with the SYN flag for an already existing connection arrives,
325 +        the TCP stack tears down the connection, bypassing a check that the
326 +        sequence number in the segment is in the expected window.
327 +
328 + 20140909:
329 +        Fixed a bug with our clearenv(3) implementation that caused segfaults
330 +        with some programs including Dovecot.
331 +
332 +        OpenSSL security patch:
333 +
334 +        The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS handshake message may cause OpenSSL
335 +        to consume large amounts of memory. [CVE-2014-3506]
336 +
337 +        The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS packet could cause OpenSSL to leak
338 +        memory. [CVE-2014-3507]
339 +
340 +        A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
341 +        X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information from
342 +        the stack. [CVE-2014-3508]
343 +
344 +        OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject to
345 +        a denial of service attack. [CVE-2014-3510]
346 +
347 + 20140902:
348 +        We're now 0.6-CURRENT
349 +
350 +        Update USB quirks to support K70 Corsair keyboard, and several
351 +        other devices.
352 +
353 + 20140827:
354 +        Perl 5.18.2
355 +
356 + 20140728:
357 +        Jails now run shutdown scripts.
358 +
359 + 20140710:
360 +        Fix a vulnerability in the control message API. A buffer is not properly cleared
361 +        before sharing with userland.
362 +
363 + 20140701:
364 +        MKSH R50
365 +
366 + 20140630:
367 +        File 5.19
368 +
369 + 20140605:
370 +        Fix four security issues with OpenSSL
371 +
372 + 20140604:
373 +        Sendmail failed to properly set close-on-exec for open file descriptors.
374 +
375 +        ktrace page fault kernel trace entries were set to an incorrect size which resulted
376 +        in a leak of information.
377 +
378 + 20140430:
379 +        Fix a TCP reassembly bug that could result in a DOS attack
380 +        of the system. It may be possible to obtain portions
381 +        of kernel memory as well.
382 +
383 + 20140411:
384 +        Update zlib to 1.2.7
385 +
386 + 20140122:
387 +        Support for username with length 32. Previous limit was 16
388 +
389 + 20140114:
390 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
391 +
392 +        bsnmpd contains a stack overflow when sent certain queries.
393 +
394 +        bind 9.8 when using NSEC3-signed zones zones, will crash with special
395 +        crafted packets.
396 +
397 + 20131228:
398 +        Imported FreeBSD 9.2 usb stack (plus z87 patches from stable)
399 +
400 +        Updated em(4), igb(4) and ixgbe(4)
401 +
402 +        MidnightBSD now works with Z87 Intel chipsets.
403 +
404 + 20131207:
405 +        Remove sparc64 architecture. It hasn't been working for awhile
406 +        and it's not useful for desktops anymore.
407 +
408 + 20131205:
409 +        OpenSSH 6.4p1
410 +
411 + 20131203:
412 +        Perl 5.18.1 imported.
413 +
414 +        Update less to v458
415 +
416 + 20131130:
417 +        Remove named from base. We still include the client utilities for
418 +        now until replacements can be found.
419 +
420 + 20131004:
421 +        rarpd supports vlan(4) and has a pid flag. (from FreeBSD)
422 +
423 + 20130917:
424 +        Support for 65,536 routing tables was added.  A new fib specific
425 +        field has been added to mbuf.  This is an increase from 16.
426 +
427 + 20130910:
428 +        Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001)
429 +
430 +        nullfs(5)
431 +
432 +        The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
433 +        check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
434 +        nullfs instance.  It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
435 +        location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
436 +        underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
437 +
438 +        ifioctl
439 +
440 +        As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
441 +        handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
442 +        passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
443 +        return an error code.
444 +
445 +        Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
446 +        SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
447 +        handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
448 +        validation or verify the caller's credentials.  Typical link-layer
449 +        actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
450 +        and resetting the underlying hardware.
451 +
452 + 20130824:
453 +        Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it
454 +        handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers.
455 +        FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix
456 +        will be included in the next release.
457 +
458 +        Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static
459 +        binary.  It has limited functionality, but can be used to
460 +        checkout/commit code.  It is named svnlite.
461 +
462 + 20130822:
463 +        Fix two security vulnerabilities.
464 +
465 +        Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST).
466 +        This could be exploited to read memory by a user process.
467 +
468 +        When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks,
469 +        a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized.
470 +
471 +        Import xz 5.0.4
472 +
473 +        Import sqlite 3.7.17
474 +
475 +        Import BIND 9.8.5-P2
476 +
477 + 20130814:
478 +        mksh R48 imported.
479 +
480 +        Sendmail 8.14.7 imported.
481 +
482 + 20130717:
483 +        libmport bug was fixed causing hash verification to fail.
484 +

508 +
509 +        SQLite 3.7.15.2 imported
510 +
511 +        Fixed a longstanding bug in libmport extrating new index files.
512 +
513 + 20120710:
514 +        BSD licensed sort imported from FreeBSD-CURRENT
515 +
516 +        For now, GNU sort is installed as gnusort, but it will
517 +        go away in time.
518 +
519 + 20120708:
520 +        tcsh 6.18.01 imported.
521 +
522 +        NetBSD's iconv imported.
523 +
524 +        libc gains strnlen(3), memrchr(3), stpncpy(3).
525 +
526 + 20120612:
527 +        BIND security update related to CVE-2012-1667.
528 +
529 +        Zero length resource records can cause BIND to crash resulting
530 +        in a DOS attack or information disclosure.
531 +
532 + 20120407:
533 +        mksh R40f (fixes regression)
534 +
535 + 20120328:
536 +        mksh R40e
537 +
538 +        Perl 5.14.2

541 +        cpucontrol(8) and cpuctl(4) added from FreeBSD 7-stable.
542 +
543 + 20120209:
544 +        mDNSResponder 333.10 imported
545 +
546 + 20111227:
547 +        import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8)
548 +
549 +        This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel
550 +        memory.
551 +
552 + 20111223:
553 +        telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked
554 +
555 +        pam: don't allow escape from policy path.  Exploitable in KDE, etc.
556 +
557 +        Fix pam_ssh module:
558 +
559 +        If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
560 +        to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
561 +
562 +        This has to due with the way that openssl works.  It ignores unencrpted data.
563 +
564 +        Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd.
565 +
566 +        nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
567 +        operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
568 +        hole in things like ftpd.
569 +
570 + 20111217:
571 +        libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not
572 +        backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog
573 +
574 + 20111212:
575 +        mksh r40d imported
576 +
577 + 20111210:
578 +        re(4) and rl(4) updated to support new chips.
579 +
580 +        GEOM synced with FreeBSD 7-stable.
581 +
582 +        MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and
583 +        setup in boot loader and GEOM.
584 +
585 +        amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support
586 +        8xx series chipset.
587 +
588 + 20111207:
589 +        import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD.
590 +
591 +        MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed
592 +        as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep.
593 +
594 + 20111122:
595 +        mksh vR40c imported.
596 +
597 + 20111117:

613 +
614 +        amdsbwd(4) AMD southbridge watchdog
615 +
616 + 20111019:
617 +        awk 20110810 imported
618 +
619 +        et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
620 +        not included in GENERIC kernel.  The kernel module needs
621 +        testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
622 +
623 +        intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
624 +        specific CPU core.
625 +
626 + 20111017:
627 +        Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
628 +
629 +        Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
630 +
631 + 20111015:
632 +        Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
633 +        to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
634 +        process. Several new system calls were added to support this
635 +        functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
636 +        compatibility on amd64.
637 +
638 +        The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
639 +        amd64.  Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
640 +        for this feature.
641 +
642 +        This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
643 +
644 + 20111004:
645 +        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
646 +        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
647 +        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
648 +
649 + 20111001:
650 +        Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
651 +        now default and an environment variable must be set to use
652 +        active.
653 +
654 + 20110930:
655 +        Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
656 +        USB cameras.  Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
657 +
658 +        Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
659 +        Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
660 +        when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
661 +        offloading.
662 +
663 +        Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
664 +        working with large raid3 sets.
665 +
666 +        Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
667 +
668 + 20110929:
669 +        Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
670 +
671 +        The following modules are no longer available, and should be
672 +        removed from loader.conf:
673 +        ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
674 +
675 +        alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
676 +        required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
677 +        a connection could be established.  Disable hibernation.
678 +
679 + 20110928:
680 +        Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
681 +        files that are corrupted.
682 +
683 +        Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
684 +
685 + 20110917:
686 +        Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
687 +        it's in the base system.
688 +
689 + 20110914:
690 +        Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
691 +
692 + 20110813:
693 +        synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
694 +
695 + 20110806:
696 +        sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
697 +
698 +        msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added.  msearch(1) provides
699 +        a full text search command line tool.  libmsearch can also be used
700 +        to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
701 +        index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
702 +        /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool.  Full text indexes take considerable
703 +        space in /var.  I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
704 +
705 +        Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
706 +        versions.  This will be obsolete with mport though.
707 +
708 + 20110710:
709 +        kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
710 +        know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
711 +
712 +        Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
713 +
714 + 20110709:
715 +        cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
716 +        with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
717 +
718 + 20110612:
719 +        Update mksh to R40
720 +
721 +        Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x.  Good to run when
722 +        updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
723 +
724 + 20110528:
725 +        Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x.  This affects caching resolvers.
726 +
727 + 20110526:
728 +        newfs:
729 +        Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
730 +        16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
731 +
732 +        This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
733 +        hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
734 +        have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes.  Of course
735 +        the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
736 +
737 + 20110521:
738 +        mport tool now has a deleteall command.  This can be used to remove
739 +        all packages from a system.
740 +
741 +        A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
742 +
743 + 20110518:
744 +        Perl 5.14.0
745 +
746 + 20110517:
747 +        Sendmail 8.14.5
748 +
749 + 20110314:
750 +        DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
751 +
752 +        cdevpriv wrappers added
753 +
754 +        nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
755 +
756 +        dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
757 +
758 + 20110308:
759 +        Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
760 +
761 +        Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
762 +
763 +        "OSREVISION 4004"
764 +
765 +        nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
766 +
767 +        tzdata2011c
768 +
769 + 20110220:
770 +        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
771 +
772 + 20110219:
773 +        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
774 +
775 + 20110217:
776 +        Perl 5.10.1 imported
777 +
778 + 20110216:
779 +        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
780 +        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
781 +        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
782 +        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
783 +
784 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
785 +
786 + 20110215:
787 +        age(4) added.
788 +
789 + 20110208:
790 +        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
791 +
792 + 20110206:
793 +        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
794 +
795 + 20110205:
796 +        OpenSSH 5.7p1
797 +
798 +        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
799 +
800 + 20110203:
801 +        one true awk 20100523 imported
802 +
803 +        sqlite 3.7.5
804 +
805 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
806 +
807 + 20110202:
808 +        tcsh 6.17.00
809 +
810 +        file 5.05
811 +
812 + 20110122:
813 +        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
814 +        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
815 +
816 + 20110120:
817 +        BIND 9.6.2-P3
818 +
819 +        sudo 1.7.4-p6
820 +
821 + 20110115:
822 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
823 +
824 + 20101130:
825 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
826 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
827 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
828 +
829 + 20101120:
830 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
831 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
832 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
833 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
834 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
835 +
836 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
837 +
838 + 20101110:
839 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
840 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
841 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
842 +
843 + 20101021:
844 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
845 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
846 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
847 +
848 + 20100920:
849 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
850 +
851 + 20100905:
852 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
853 +        for 0.4.
854 +
855 + 20100902:
856 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
857 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
858 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
859 +
860 + 20100822:
861 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
862 +
863 + 20100814:
864 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
865 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
866 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
867 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
868 +        may not like.
869 +
870 + 20100713:
871 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
872 +
873 + 20100704:

880 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
881 +
882 + 20100321:
883 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
884 +
885 + 20100319:
886 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
887 +
888 + 20100317:
889 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
890 +        Mexico.
891 +
892 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
893 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
894 +
895 + 20100313:
896 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
897 +
898 + 20100312:
899 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
900 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
901 +
902 + 20100311:
903 +        mksh R39c

911 +
912 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
913 +
914 + 20100206:
915 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
916 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
917 +
918 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
919 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
920 +
921 + 20100204:
922 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
923 +        segfaulting.

925 + 20100116:
926 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
927 +
928 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
929 +
930 + 20100110:
931 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
932 +
933 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
934 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
935 +        older current systems.
936 +
937 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
938 +
939 + 20100106:
940 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
941 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
942 +
943 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
944 +
945 + 20091228:
946 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
947 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
948 +
949 + 20091205:
950 +        OpenSSL security fix
951 +
952 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
953 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
954 +
955 + 20091128:
956 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
957 +
958 + 20091126:

966 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
967 +
968 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
969 +
970 + 20091010:
971 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
972 +        to test current.
973 +
974 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
975 +        on amd64 systems.
976 +
977 + 20091006:
978 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
979 +        Argentina changes.
980 +
981 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
982 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
983 +
984 + 20090919:
985 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
986 +
987 + 20090729:
988 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
989 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
990 +
991 + 20090606:
992 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
993 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
994 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
995 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
996 +
997 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
998 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
999 +        system which makes no sense.
1000 +
1001 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
1002 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
1003 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
1004 +        an external device.
1005 +
1006 + 20090520:
1007 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
1008 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
1009 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
1010 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
1011 +        out my new Phenom too.
1012 +
1013 + 20090502:
1014 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
1015 +
1016 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
1017 +
1018 + 20090501:
1019 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
1020 +
1021 + 20090422:
1022 +        OpenSSL security update
1023 +
1024 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
1025 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
1026 +
1027 + 20090415:
1028 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
1029 +
1030 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
1031 +
1032 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
1033 +        tools to fail.
1034 +
1035 + 20090405:
1036 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
1037 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
1038 +        add
1039 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
1040 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
1041 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
1042 +
1043 + 20090403:
1044 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
1045 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
1046 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
1047 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
1048 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
1049 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
1050 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
1051 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
1052 +
1053 + 20090328:
1054 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
1055 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
1056 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
1057 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
1058 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
1059 +        an optional build parameter.  
1060 +
1061 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
1062 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
1063 +
1064 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
1065 +        default for login and profile.
1066 +
1067 + 20090327:
1068 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
1069 +
1070 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
1071 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
1072 +        on mports.
1073 +
1074 + 20090325:
1075 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
1076 +
1077 +        Update mksh to R36b
1078 +
1079 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
1080 +
1081 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
1082 +
1083 + 20090115:
1084 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
1085 +
1086 + 20090110:
1087 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
1088 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
1089 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
1090 +
1091 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
1092 +        affected.
1093 +
1094 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
1095 +
1096 + 20090104:
1097 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
1098 +
1099 + 20090101:
1100 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
1101 +
1102 + 20081231:
1103 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
1104 +        properly initialized.
1105 +
1106 +        Happy 2009.
1107 +
1108 + 20081206:
1109 +        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
1110 +        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
1111 +        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
1112 +        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.  
1113 +
1114 +        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
1115 +        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
1116 +
1117 +        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
1118 +
1119 +        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
1120 +        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
1121 +        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
1122 +        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
1123 +        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
1124 +
1125 + 20081204:
1126 +        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
1127 +        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
1128 +        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
1129 +        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
1130 +        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
1131 +
1132 +        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
1133 +        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
1134 +        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
1135 +        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
1136 +        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
1137 +
1138 + 20080905:
1139 +        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
1140 +
1141 + 20080801:
1142 +        Import OpenBSM 1.0
1143 +
1144 +        Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
1145 +
1146 +        etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
1147 +
1148 +        Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
1149 +
1150 +        The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
1151 +
1152 + 20080703:
1153 +        pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
1154 +        or posibly jails.
1155 +
1156 + 20080627:
1157 +        Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
1158 +
1159 +        Add glabel to GENERIC.
1160 +
1161 +        Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
1162 +
1163 +        pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
1164 +
1165 +        ath added to GENERIC.  (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
1166 +
1167 + 20080528:
1168 +        Sendmail 8.14.3
1169 +
1170 + 20080516:
1171 +        ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
1172 +        were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
1173 +        few years.  sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
1174 +        option.
1175 +
1176 +        The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
1177 +
1178 + 20080514:
1179 +        Fixed a number of problems with pcc.  It is not yet connected
1180 +        to the build, but usable on i386 hosts.  You may use it
1181 +        by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc.  It will
1182 +        install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
1183 +        GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
1184 +
1185 +        System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
1186 +        on MidnightBSD.  bin/cp will work now for instance.
1187 +
1188 + 20080430:
1189 +        __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc.  This can be tested
1190 +        to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
1191 +
1192 + 20080429:
1193 +        Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
1194 +
1195 +        libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier
1196 +        
1197 +        pcvt(4) removed!
1198 +
1199 +        Alias added for core2 cpus.
1200 +
1201 +        Alpha and PC98 only utilities removed from usr/sbin
1202 +
1203 +        syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
1204 +        improved.  See the man pages for info.
1205 +
1206 +        periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
1207 +        See mailwrapper fix.
1208 +
1209 + 20080410:
1210 +        Sync cpdup with DragonFly.  Add parallel transaction support and
1211 +        -l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.
1212 +
1213   20080406:
1214 +        Import bzip2 1.05
1215          Import OpenSSH 4.9p1
