6  
7 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
8 +        on amd64 systems.
9 +
10 + 20091006:
11 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
12 +        Argentina changes.
13 +
14 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
15 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
16 +
17 + 20090919:
18 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
19 +
20 + 20090729:
21 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
22 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
23 +
24 + 20090606:
25 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
26 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
27 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
28 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
29 +
30 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
31 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
32 +        system which makes no sense.
33 +
34 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
35 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
36 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
37 +        an external device.
38 +
39 + 20090520:
40 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
41 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
42 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
43 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
44 +        out my new Phenom too.
45 +
46 + 20090502:
47 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
48 +
49 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
50 +
51 + 20090501:
52 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
53 +
54 + 20090422:
55 +        OpenSSL security update
56 +
57 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
58 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
59 +
60 + 20090415:
61 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
62 +
63 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
64 +
65 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
66 +        tools to fail.
67 +
68 + 20090405:
69 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
70 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
71 +        add
72 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
73 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
74 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
75 +
76 + 20090403:
77 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
78 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
79 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
80 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
81 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
82 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
83 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
84 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
85 +
86 + 20090328:
87 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
88 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
89 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
90 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
91 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
92 +        an optional build parameter.  
93 +
94 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
95 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
96 +
97 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
98 +        default for login and profile.
99 +
100 + 20090327:
101 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
102 +
103 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
104 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
105 +        on mports.
106 +
107 + 20090325:
108 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
109 +
110 +        Update mksh to R36b
111 +
112 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
113 +
114 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
115 +
116 + 20090115:
117 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
118 +
119 + 20090110:
120 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
121 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
122 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
123 +
124 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
125 +        affected.
126 +
127 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
128 +
129 + 20090104:
130 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
131 +
132 + 20090101:
133 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
134 +
135 + 20081231:
136 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
137 +        properly initialized.
138 +
139 +        Happy 2009.
140 +
141 + 20081206:
142 +        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
143 +        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
144 +        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
145 +        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.  
146 +
147 +        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
148 +        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
149 +
150 +        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
151 +
152 +        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
153 +        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
154 +        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
155 +        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
156 +        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
157 +
158 + 20081204:
159 +        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
160 +        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
161 +        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
162 +        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
163 +        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
164 +
165 +        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
166 +        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
167 +        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
168 +        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
169 +        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
170 +
171 + 20080905:
172 +        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
173 +
174 + 20080801:
175 +        Import OpenBSM 1.0
176 +
177 +        Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
178 +
179 +        etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
180 +
181 +        Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
182 +
183 +        The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
184 +
185 + 20080703:
186 +        pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
187 +        or posibly jails.
188 +
189 + 20080627:
190 +        Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
191 +
192 +        Add glabel to GENERIC.
193 +
194 +        Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
195 +
196 +        pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
197 +
198 +        ath added to GENERIC.  (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
199 +
200 + 20080528:
201 +        Sendmail 8.14.3
202 +
203 + 20080516:
204 +        ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
205 +        were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
206 +        few years.  sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
207 +        option.
208 +
209 +        The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
210 +
211 + 20080514:
212 +        Fixed a number of problems with pcc.  It is not yet connected
213 +        to the build, but usable on i386 hosts.  You may use it
214 +        by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc.  It will
215 +        install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
216 +        GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
217 +
218 +        System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
219 +        on MidnightBSD.  bin/cp will work now for instance.
220 +
221 + 20080430:
222 +        __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc.  This can be tested
223 +        to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
224 +
225 + 20080429:
226 +        Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
227 +
228 +        libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier
229 +        
230 +        pcvt(4) removed!
231 +
232 +        Alias added for core2 cpus.
233 +
234 +        Alpha and PC98 only utilities removed from usr/sbin
235 +
236 +        syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
237 +        improved.  See the man pages for info.
238 +
239 +        periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
240 +        See mailwrapper fix.
241 +
242 + 20080410:
243 +        Sync cpdup with DragonFly.  Add parallel transaction support and
244 +        -l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.
245 +
246 + 20080406:
247 +        Import bzip2 1.05
248 +        Import OpenSSH 4.9p1
249 +
250 + 20080322:
251 +        The default umask was changed to 022.
252 +        
253 +        /usr/X11R6 paths were removed from several config files.
254 +
255 +        .mkshrc files are now installed for root.
256 +
257 + 20080316:
258 +        FIx a problem with gif0 tunnels and neighbors with IPV6.
259 +
260 + 20080312:
261 +        Add lndir from X.org.  This aides in the porting of MirPorts.
262 +
263 +        New OS versions were added to the mapage code (groff)
264 +
265 + 20080310:
266 +        Correct a buffer overflow in ppp.
267 +
268 + 20080308:
269 +        Remove /usr/X11R6 from manpath config.
270 +
271 + 20080307:
272 +        Atheros driver no longer has several options set
273 +        which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms.
274 +
275 +        Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
276 +        thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
277 +
278 +        Removed OS/2's HPFS file system.   It's not maintained and
279 +        I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
280 +        My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
281 +
282 + 20080306:
283 +        Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD.  Modified it for MidnightBSD.
284 +        Developers can now use it to check src builds.
285 +
286 + 20080303:
287 +        Add mksh to /etc/shells, made some adjustments to options
288 +        for mksh builds per suggestion upstream.
289 +
290 +        USB HID table updated with modern hardware list.
291 +
292 +        Updated BSD family true (we're not in there yet)
293 +
294 +        iso3166 file updated and import of tzdata2007k for
295 +        new time zones.
296 +
297 +        Updated mksh to latest version R33.
298 +
299 + 20080228:
300 +        Remplaced the random IP id generation code with a new
301 +        version by Amit Klein.
302 +
303 + 20080221:
304 +        Sendfile write only permissions fix.
305 +
306 +        Removed some HPFS and PC98 code.
307 +
308 +        iso639 file sycned with DragonFly.
309 +
310 + 20080128:
311 +        Changed NTP configuration so that ips aren't cached
312 +        so multiple servers are used.
313 +
314 +        Fix an issue with fork() in libpthread.
315 +
316 + 20080121:
317 +        Add virtualization detection to set the HZ rate
318 +        according to a VM present.  VMWare and Parallels
319 +        should work better like this.
320 +
321 +        Change to full x11 install in sysinstall.  Add
322 +        xorg 7 support.
323 +
324 + 20080115:
325 +        Fix the handling of PTY's.  CVE-2008-0216
326 +
327 + 20080105:
328 +        mport delete code added, USE_MPORT_TOOLS knob aded.
329 +
330 + 20080101:
331 +        Happy New Year
332 +
333 + 20071123:
334 +        Update sendmail to 8.14.2
335 +
336 + 20071120:
337 +        Update system compiler to gcc 3.4.6.
338 +
339 + 20071023:
340 +        Updated mksh to R31d.
341 +
342 + 20070911:
343 +        Updated mksh to version R31b.
344 +
345 +        Fixed stderr output in libpthread.  Previously it was
346 +        written to stdout.
347 +
348 + 20070831:
349 +        Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to
350 +        mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.  
351 +
352 +        Added new firewall configuration.  ipfw is enabled by default
353 +        with a "desktop" configuration.  Consult /etc/rc.firewall
354 +        or ipfw show to see the ruleset used.  You can disable
355 +        ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
356 +        change only effects IPv4.  IPv6 does not have a firewall
357 +        enabled by default.
358 +
359 + 20070814:
360 +        Removed GNU tar source.  We've been using BSD tar
361 +        for awhile.
362 +
363 + 20070806:
364 +        Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
365 +
366 + 20070804:
367 +        BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
368 +
369 +        We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
370 +
371 + 20070719:
372 +        Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
373 +
374 + 20070716:
375 +        Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
376 +
377 + 20070410:
378 +        cvs was updated to 1.12.13.  cvsbug was removed.
379 +        cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
380 +        most of their local changes.  
381 +
382 + 20070409:
383 +        RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
384 +        continue here.
385 +
386 + 20070406:
387 +        Back out propolice.  propolice caused several problems
388 +        with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.  
389 +        curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
390 +        multithreaded applications would crash.  We plan to
391 +        work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
392 +        patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
393 +
394 +        It is more important to have a stable system for our
395 +        mport work and other projects at this time.
396 +
397 +        This is not a clean removal.  It is recommended that you
398 +        have a recently SNAP CD handy.  You can either reinstall
399 +        or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
400 +        make installkernel.  Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
401 +        of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
402 +        /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
403 +        your disk.  Then you should be able to boot into single user
404 +        mode and run make installworld.  You will need to run
405 +        chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
406 +        them.
407 +
408 +        You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
409 +        this from libc.
410 +
411 +        You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
412 +        installed.
413 +
414 + 20070401:
415 +        Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
416 +        provide us with much greater security and stability in the
417 +        long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
418 +        follow the these instructions:
419 +
420 +        cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
421 +        cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
422 +        cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
423 +        cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
424 +        buildworld and kernel
425 +
426 +        It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
427 +        prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
428 +        or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
429 +        and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
430 +        fix.
431 +
432 + 20070314:
433 +        Remove send-pr from src.
434 +
435 +        Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
436 +
437 +        Bump MBSD minor revision.
438 +
439 + 20070313:
440 +        Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
441 +
442 +        Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
443 +
444 +        Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
445 +        the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
446 +
447 + 20070312:
448 +        Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
449 +        BSD Daemon files from src/share.  
450 +
451 + 20070308:
452 +        Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
453 +        the Dell perc5i.
454 +
455 + 20070206:
456 +        Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
457 +        /usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
458 +
459 +        Those who install from a snapshot after this date
460 +        will not be effected.
461 +
462 + 20070119:
463 +        Added audit group.  Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
464 +        before installing world.

473 +        For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
474 +        sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release.  Nearly every change between the original
475 +        fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
476 +        2006 will be merged.  Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
477 +        will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.

486 +        to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
487 +        Feb 26, 2006.
488 +
489 +        Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD.  Also added additional
490 +        dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
491 +        /usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math

510 + 20061225:
511 +        Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
512 +        that caused long double to long and long long
513 +        conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
514 +
515 + 20061221:
516 +        Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
517 +        batteries are present.
518 +
519 +        Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
520 +        RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
521 +
522 +        Corrected a bug with TTY.
523 +
524 + 20061218:
525 +        Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
526 +        threads don't get scheduled.
