# Line 1 | Line 1
1   Updating Information for MidnightBSD users
2  
3 + 20111217:
4 +        libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not
5 +        backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog
6 +
7 + 20111212:
8 +        mksh r40d imported
9 +
10 + 20111210:
11 +        re(4) and rl(4) updated to support new chips.
12 +
13 +        GEOM synced with FreeBSD 7-stable.
14 +
15 +        MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and
16 +        setup in boot loader and GEOM.
17 +
18 +        amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support
19 +        8xx series chipset.
20 +
21 + 20111207:
22 +        import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD.
23 +
24 +        MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed
25 +        as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep.
26 +
27 + 20111122:
28 +        mksh vR40c imported.
29 +
30 + 20111117:
31 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5 P1
32 +
33 + 20111107:
34 +        tzdata 2011n
35 +
36 + 20111026:
37 +        mDNSResponder v320
38 +
39 +        BIND 9.6 ESV R5
40 +
41 + 20111022:
42 +        cflow 0.0.6 imported
43 +
44 + 20111020:
45 +        less v436 imported
46 +
47 +        amdsbwd(4) AMD southbridge watchdog
48 +
49 + 20111019:
50 +        awk 20110810 imported
51 +
52 +        et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
53 +        not included in GENERIC kernel.  The kernel module needs
54 +        testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
55 +
56 +        intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
57 +        specific CPU core.
58 +
59 + 20111017:
60 +        Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
61 +
62 +        Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
63 +
64 + 20111015:
65 +        Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
66 +        to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
67 +        process. Several new system calls were added to support this
68 +        functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
69 +        compatibility on amd64.
70 +
71 +        The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
72 +        amd64.  Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
73 +        for this feature.
74 +
75 +        This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
76 +
77 + 20111004:
78 +        Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
79 +        patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
80 +        apps to work under the linuxolator again.
81 +
82 + 20111001:
83 +        Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
84 +        now default and an environment variable must be set to use
85 +        active.
86 +
87 + 20110930:
88 +        Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
89 +        USB cameras.  Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
90 +
91 +        Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
92 +        Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
93 +        when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
94 +        offloading.
95 +
96 +        Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
97 +        working with large raid3 sets.
98 +
99 +        Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
100 +
101 + 20110929:
102 +        Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
103 +
104 +        The following modules are no longer available, and should be
105 +        removed from loader.conf:
106 +        ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
107 +
108 +        alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
109 +        required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
110 +        a connection could be established.  Disable hibernation.
111 +
112 + 20110928:
113 +        Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
114 +        files that are corrupted.
115 +
116 +        Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
117 +
118 + 20110917:
119 +        Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
120 +        it's in the base system.
121 +
122 + 20110914:
123 +        Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
124 +
125 + 20110813:
126 +        synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
127 +
128 + 20110806:
129 +        sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
130 +
131 +        msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added.  msearch(1) provides
132 +        a full text search command line tool.  libmsearch can also be used
133 +        to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
134 +        index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
135 +        /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool.  Full text indexes take considerable
136 +        space in /var.  I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
137 +
138 +        Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
139 +        versions.  This will be obsolete with mport though.
140 +
141 + 20110710:
142 +        kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
143 +        know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
144 +
145 +        Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
146 +
147 + 20110709:
148 +        cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
149 +        with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
150 +
151 + 20110612:
152 +        Update mksh to R40
153 +
154 +        Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x.  Good to run when
155 +        updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
156 +
157 + 20110528:
158 +        Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x.  This affects caching resolvers.
159 +
160 + 20110526:
161 +        newfs:
162 +        Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
163 +        16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
164 +
165 +        This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
166 +        hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
167 +        have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes.  Of course
168 +        the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
169 +
170 + 20110521:
171 +        mport tool now has a deleteall command.  This can be used to remove
172 +        all packages from a system.
173 +
174 +        A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
175 +
176 + 20110518:
177 +        Perl 5.14.0
178 +
179 + 20110517:
180 +        Sendmail 8.14.5
181 +
182 + 20110314:
183 +        DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)
184 +
185 +        cdevpriv wrappers added
186 +
187 +        nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
188 +
189 +        dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
190 +
191 + 20110308:
192 +        Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
193 +
194 +        Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
195 +
196 +        "OSREVISION 4004"
197 +
198 +        nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
199 +
200 +        tzdata2011c
201 +
202 + 20110220:
203 +        cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
204 +
205 + 20110219:
206 +        amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
207 +
208 + 20110217:
209 +        Perl 5.10.1 imported
210 +
211 + 20110216:
212 +        Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
213 +        igb(4) and em(4).  Newer devices use igb(4).  The code has moved
214 +        to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
215 +        been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
216 +
217 +        Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
218 +
219 + 20110215:
220 +        age(4) added.
221 +
222 + 20110208:
223 +        BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
224 +
225 + 20110206:
226 +        eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
227 +
228 + 20110205:
229 +        OpenSSH 5.7p1
230 +
231 +        GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
232 +
233 + 20110203:
234 +        one true awk 20100523 imported
235 +
236 +        sqlite 3.7.5
237 +
238 +        OpenSSL 0.9.8q
239 +
240 + 20110202:
241 +        tcsh 6.17.00
242 +
243 +        file 5.05
244 +
245 + 20110122:
246 +        Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
247 +        uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
248 +
249 + 20110120:
250 +        BIND 9.6.2-P3
251 +
252 +        sudo 1.7.4-p6
253 +
254 + 20110115:
255 +        Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
256 +
257 + 20101130:
258 +        A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
259 +        processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
260 +        numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
261 +
262 + 20101120:
263 +        Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
264 +        systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
265 +        to use of int types.  Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
266 +        our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
267 +        which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
268 +
269 +        newfs and growfs was also modified.
270 +
271 + 20101110:
272 +        Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
273 +        context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration.  This affects file
274 +        systems such as procfs for instance.
275 +
276 + 20101021:
277 +        sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
278 +        This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
279 +        written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
280 +
281 + 20100920:
282 +        bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
283 +
284 + 20100905:
285 +        MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created.  Aggressive development continues here
286 +        for 0.4.
287 +
288 + 20100902:
289 +        Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
290 +        login.conf in some cases.  This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
291 +        the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
292 +
293 + 20100822:
294 +        Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
295 +
296 + 20100814:
297 +        libdispatch added to MidnightBSD.  This provides functionality found in
298 +        Mac OS X's GCD.  We do not have blocks support yet.  As this code is
299 +        licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
300 +        it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
301 +        may not like.
302 +
303 + 20100713:
304 +        mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
305 +
306 + 20100704:
307 +        brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
308 +
309 + 20100505:
310 +        zlib 1.2.5
311 +
312   20100430:
313          Sudo 1.7.2p6 imported
