5  
6 +        Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
7 +
8 +        "OSREVISION 4004"
9 +
10 +        nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
11 +
12 +        tzdata2011c
13 +
14 + 20110220:
15 +        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
16 +
17 + 20110219:
18 +        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
19 +
20 + 20110217:
21 +        Perl 5.10.1 imported
22 +
23 + 20110216:
24 +        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
25 +        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
26 +        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
27 +        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
28 +
29 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
30 +
31 + 20110215:
32 +        age(4) added.
33 +
34 + 20110208:
35 +        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
36 +
37 + 20110206:
38 +        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
39 +
40 + 20110205:
41 +        OpenSSH 5.7p1
42 +
43 +        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
44 +
45 + 20110203:
46 +        one true awk 20100523 imported
47 +
48 +        sqlite 3.7.5
49 +
50 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
51 +
52 + 20110202:
53 +        tcsh 6.17.00
54 +
55 +        file 5.05
56 +
57 + 20110122:
58 +        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
59 +        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
60 +
61 + 20110120:
62 +        BIND 9.6.2-P3
63 +
64 +        sudo 1.7.4-p6
65 +
66 + 20110115:
67 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
68 +
69 + 20101130:
70 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
71 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
72 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
73 +
74 + 20101120:
75 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
76 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
77 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
78 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
79 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
80 +
81 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
82 +
83 + 20101110:
84 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
85 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
86 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
87 +
88 + 20101021:
89 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
90 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
91 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
92 +
93 + 20100920:
94 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
95 +
96 + 20100905:
97 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
98 +        for 0.4.
99 +
100 + 20100902:
101 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
102 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
103 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
104 +
105 + 20100822:
106 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
107 +
108 + 20100814:
109 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
110 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
111 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
112 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
113 +        may not like.
114 +
115 + 20100713:
116 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
117 +
118 + 20100704:
119 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
120 +
121 + 20100505:
122 +        zlib 1.2.5
123 +
124 + 20100430:
125 +        Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
126 +
127 + 20100321:
128 +        Update zlib to 1.2.4
129 +
130 + 20100319:
131 +        Removed i586 from default i386 generic kernel.
132 +
133 + 20100317:
134 +        Update to tzdata2010e (time zones).  This includes changes in
135 +        Mexico.
136 +
137 +        Add support for several newer sound cards via hda including
138 +        ATI and Realtek chipsets.
139 +
140 + 20100313:
141 +        CPU detection has been changed.  VIA Padlock detection added.
142 +
143 + 20100312:
144 +        Fix a number of bugs and compiler warnings in libmport. Handle
145 +        plus signs in paths for mport.check-fake
146 +
147 + 20100311:
148 +        mksh R39c
149 +
150 + 20100309:
151 +        Sudo 1.7.2p5
152 +
153 +        sqlite3 3.6.23
154 +
155 +        mksh R39b
156 +
157 +        libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
158 +
159 + 20100206:
160 +        WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64.  GCC was fixed to
161 +        properly pass arguments to ld.
162 +
163 +        re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
164 +        realtek chipsets.  Performance has been improved on re(4).
165 +
166 + 20100204:
167 +        Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
168 +        segfaulting.  
169 +
170 + 20100116:
171 +        Import ash changes from FreeBSD (bin/sh) 8-Stable.
172 +
173 +        BIND 9.6.1-P2
174 +
175 + 20100110:
176 +        Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
177 +
178 +        posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
179 +        install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
180 +        older current systems.
181 +
182 +        kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
183 +
184 + 20100106:
185 +        Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
186 +        cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
187 +
188 +        Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
189 +
190 + 20091228:
191 +        amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
192 +        of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
193 +
194 + 20091205:
195 +        OpenSSL security fix
196 +
197 +        The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
198 +        cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
199 +
200 + 20091128:
201 +        OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
202 +
203 + 20091126:
204 +        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
205 +
206 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
207 +
208 +        mksh R39
209 +
210 + 20091124:
211 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
212 +
213 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
214 +
215 + 20091010:
216 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
217 +        to test current.
218 +
219 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
220 +        on amd64 systems.
221 +
222 + 20091006:
223 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
224 +        Argentina changes.
225 +
226 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
227 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
228 +
229 + 20090919:
230 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
231 +
232 + 20090729:
233 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
234 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
235 +
236 + 20090606:
237 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
238 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
239 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
240 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
241 +
242 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
243 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
244 +        system which makes no sense.
245 +
246 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
247 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
248 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
249 +        an external device.
250 +
251 + 20090520:
252 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
253 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
254 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
255 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
256 +        out my new Phenom too.
257 +
258 + 20090502:
259 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
260 +
261 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
262 +
263 + 20090501:
264 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
265 +
266 + 20090422:
267 +        OpenSSL security update
268 +
269 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
270 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
271 +
272 + 20090415:
273 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
274 +
275 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
276 +
277 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
278 +        tools to fail.
279 +
280 + 20090405:
281 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
282 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
283 +        add
284 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
285 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
286 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
287 +
288 + 20090403:
289 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
290 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
291 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
292 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
293 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
294 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
295 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
296 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
297 +
298 + 20090328:
299 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
300 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
301 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
302 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
303 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
304 +        an optional build parameter.  
305 +
306 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
307 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
308 +
309 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
310 +        default for login and profile.
311 +
312 + 20090327:
313 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
314 +
315 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
316 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
317 +        on mports.
318 +
319 + 20090325:
320 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
321 +
322 +        Update mksh to R36b
323 +
324 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
325 +
326 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
327 +
328 + 20090115:
329 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
330 +
331 + 20090110:
332 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
333 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
334 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
335 +
336 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
337 +        affected.
338 +
339 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
340 +
341 + 20090104:
342 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
343 +
344 + 20090101:
345 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
346 +
347 + 20081231:
348 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
349 +        properly initialized.
350 +
351 +        Happy 2009.
352 +
353 + 20081206:
354 +        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
355 +        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
356 +        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
357 +        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.  
358 +
359 +        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
360 +        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
361 +
362 +        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
363 +
364 +        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
365 +        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
366 +        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
367 +        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
368 +        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
369 +
370 + 20081204:
371 +        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
372 +        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
373 +        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
374 +        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
375 +        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
376 +
377 +        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
378 +        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
379 +        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
380 +        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
381 +        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
382 +
383 + 20080905:
384 +        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
385 +
386 + 20080801:
387 +        Import OpenBSM 1.0
388 +
389 +        Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
390 +
391 +        etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
392 +
393 +        Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
394 +
395 +        The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
396 +
397 + 20080703:
398 +        pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
399 +        or posibly jails.
400 +
401 + 20080627:
402 +        Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
403 +
404 +        Add glabel to GENERIC.
405 +
406 +        Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
407 +
408 +        pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
409 +
410 +        ath added to GENERIC.  (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
411 +
412 + 20080528:
413 +        Sendmail 8.14.3
414 +
415 + 20080516:
416 +        ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
417 +        were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
418 +        few years.  sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
419 +        option.
420 +
421 +        The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
422 +
423 + 20080514:
424 +        Fixed a number of problems with pcc.  It is not yet connected
425 +        to the build, but usable on i386 hosts.  You may use it
426 +        by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc.  It will
427 +        install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
428 +        GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
429 +
430 +        System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
431 +        on MidnightBSD.  bin/cp will work now for instance.
432 +
433 + 20080430:
434 +        __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc.  This can be tested
435 +        to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
436 +
437 + 20080429:
438 +        Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
439 +
440 +        libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier
441 +        
442 +        pcvt(4) removed!
443 +
444 +        Alias added for core2 cpus.
445 +
446 +        Alpha and PC98 only utilities removed from usr/sbin
447 +
448 +        syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
449 +        improved.  See the man pages for info.
450 +
451 +        periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
452 +        See mailwrapper fix.
453 +
454 + 20080410:
455 +        Sync cpdup with DragonFly.  Add parallel transaction support and
456 +        -l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.
457 +
458 + 20080406:
459 +        Import bzip2 1.05
460 +        Import OpenSSH 4.9p1
461 +
462   20080322:
463          The default umask was changed to 022.
