4 >        OpenNTPD 4.4 import
5  
6 +        Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
7 +
8 +        mksh R39
9 +
10 + 20091024:
11 +        cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
12 +
13 +        tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
14 +
15 + 20091010:
16 +        amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
17 +        to test current.
18 +
19 +        Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
20 +        on amd64 systems.
21 +
22 + 20091006:
23 +        Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
24 +        Argentina changes.
25 +
26 +        Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
27 +        sbin and usr.sbin.
28 +
29 + 20090919:
30 +        Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
31 +
32 + 20090729:
33 +        Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
34 +        can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
35 +
36 + 20090606:
37 +        Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
38 +        as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
39 +        in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
40 +        with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
41 +
42 +        I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
43 +        fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
44 +        system which makes no sense.
45 +
46 +        A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
47 +        the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
48 +        but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
49 +        an external device.
50 +
51 + 20090520:
52 +        The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
53 +        compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
54 +        installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
55 +        makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
56 +        out my new Phenom too.
57 +
58 + 20090502:
59 +        OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
60 +
61 +        ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
62 +
63 + 20090501:
64 +        Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
65 +
66 + 20090422:
67 +        OpenSSL security update
68 +
69 +        The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
70 + of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
71 +
72 + 20090415:
73 +        Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
74 +
75 +        Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
76 +
77 +        Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
78 +        tools to fail.
79 +
80 + 20090405:
81 +        xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
82 +        yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
83 +        add
84 +                Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
85 +        to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
86 +        kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
87 +
88 + 20090403:
89 +        mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
90 +        buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
91 +        for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
92 +        MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
93 +        but we may change this later.  This will allow further
94 +        testing by users and developers of mksh without
95 +        causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
96 +        long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
97 +
98 + 20090328:
99 +        Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
100 +        and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
101 +        as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
102 +        ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
103 +        as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
104 +        an optional build parameter.  
105 +
106 +        ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
107 +        the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
108 +
109 +        Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
110 +        default for login and profile.
111 +
112 + 20090327:
113 +        Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
114 +
115 +        Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
116 +        to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
117 +        on mports.
118 +
119 + 20090325:
120 +        Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
121 +
122 +        Update mksh to R36b
123 +
124 +        Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
125 +
126 +        Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
127 +
128 + 20090115:
129 +        Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
130 +
131 + 20090110:
132 +        For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
133 +        certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
134 +        used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
135 +
136 +        Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
137 +        affected.
138 +
139 +        Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
140 +
141 + 20090104:
142 +        Import GNU libreadline 5.2
143 +
144 + 20090101:
145 +        Update time zone data to 2008i.
146 +
147 + 20081231:
148 +        Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
149 +        properly initialized.
150 +
151 +        Happy 2009.
152 +
153 + 20081206:
154 +        Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
155 +        we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
156 +        changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
157 +        using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.  
158 +
159 +        The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
160 +        i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
161 +
162 +        mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
163 +
164 +        batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
165 +        runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
166 +        shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
167 +        percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
168 +        -c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
169 +
170 + 20081204:
171 +        Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
172 +        new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
173 +        support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
174 +        openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
175 +        intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
176 +
177 +        Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
178 +        data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
179 +        testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
180 +        and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
181 +        sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
182 +
183 + 20080905:
184 +        update nve(4) to support new hardware.
185 +
186 + 20080801:
187 +        Import OpenBSM 1.0
188 +
189 +        Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
190 +
191 +        etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
192 +
193 +        Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
194 +
195 +        The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
196 +
197 + 20080703:
198 +        pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
199 +        or posibly jails.
200 +
201 + 20080627:
202 +        Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
203 +
204 +        Add glabel to GENERIC.
205 +
206 +        Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
207 +
208 +        pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
209 +
210 +        ath added to GENERIC.  (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
211 +
212 + 20080528:
213 +        Sendmail 8.14.3
214 +
215 + 20080516:
216 +        ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
217 +        were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
218 +        few years.  sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
219 +        option.
220 +
221 +        The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
222 +
223 + 20080514:
224 +        Fixed a number of problems with pcc.  It is not yet connected
225 +        to the build, but usable on i386 hosts.  You may use it
226 +        by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc.  It will
227 +        install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
228 +        GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
229 +
230 +        System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
231 +        on MidnightBSD.  bin/cp will work now for instance.
232 +
233   20080430:
234          __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc.  This can be tested
235          to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
