5	<	done items, please see the COMMON ITEMS: section later in the file.
3	>	20100110:
4	>	Import sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
5
6	<	Items affecting the ports and packages system can be found in
7	<	/usr/ports/UPDATING.  Please read that file before running
8	<	portupgrade.
6	>	posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc.  Users may need to build and
7	>	install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
8	>	older current systems.
9
10	<	20060211:
12	<	An IPv6 support of ipfw was enabled by default.  If you don't
13	<	want to filter an IPv6 by ipfw, please add following line into
14	<	your ipfw rule:
10	>	kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
11
12	<	pass ip6 from any to any
12	>	20100106:
13	>	Bind security update.  Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
14	>	cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
15
16	<	20060210:
19	<	Now most modules get their build-time options from the kernel
20	<	configuration file.  A few modules still have fixed options
21	<	due to their non-conformant implementation, but they will be
22	<	corrected eventually.  You may need to review the options of
23	<	the modules in use, explicitly specify the non-default options
24	<	in the kernel configuration file, and rebuild the kernel and
25	<	modules afterwards.
16	>	Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
17
18	<	20060122:
19	<	/etc/rc.d/ppp-user has been renamed to /etc/rc.d/ppp.
20	<	Its /etc/rc.conf.d configuration file has been `ppp' from
30	<	the beginning, and hence there is no need to touch it.
18	>	20091228:
19	>	amdtemp(4) was added.  It allows one to monitor to the temperature
20	>	of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
21
22	<	20060113:
23	<	si(4)'s device files now contain the unit number.
24	<	Uses of {cua,tty}A[0-9a-f] should be replaced by {cua,tty}A0[0-9a-f].
22	>	20091205:
23	>	OpenSSL security fix
24	>
25	>	The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
26	>	cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
27	>
28	>	20091128:
29	>	OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
30	>
31	>	20091126:
32	>	OpenNTPD 4.4 import
33	>
34	>	Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
35	>
36	>	mksh R39
37	>
38	>	20091124:
39	>	cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
40	>
41	>	tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
42	>
43	>	20091010:
44	>	amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
45	>	to test current.
46	>
47	>	Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code.  This was causing chaos
48	>	on amd64 systems.
49	>
50	>	20091006:
51	>	Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
52	>	Argentina changes.
53	>
54	>	Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
55	>	sbin and usr.sbin.
56	>
57	>	20090919:
58	>	Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
59	>
60	>	20090729:
61	>	Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
62	>	can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
63	>
64	>	20090606:
65	>	Remove PCC from the base system.  This compiler will not work
66	>	as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
67	>	in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future.  We're stuck
68	>	with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
69	>
70	>	I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
71	>	fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
72	>	system which makes no sense.
73	>
74	>	A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
75	>	the kernel.  This should cut down on commands it claims to support
76	>	but does not (at the cam layer).  Found while testing ZFS on
77	>	an external device.
78	>
79	>	20090520:
80	>	The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
81	>	compatibility with many systems.  However, there is a new
82	>	installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
83	>	makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I                thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
84	>	out my new Phenom too.
85	>
86	>	20090502:
87	>	OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
88	>
89	>	ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
90	>
91	>	20090501:
92	>	Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
93	>
94	>	20090422:
95	>	OpenSSL security update
96	>
97	>	The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
98	>	of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
99	>
100	>	20090415:
101	>	Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
102	>
103	>	Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
104	>
105	>	Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
106	>	tools to fail.
107	>
108	>	20090405:
109	>	xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
110	>	yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
111	>	add
112	>	Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
113	>	to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
114	>	kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
115	>
116	>	20090403:
117	>	mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
118	>	buildworld and mports.  Now, connect it back
119	>	for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
120	>	MK_ASH.  By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
121	>	but we may change this later.  This will allow further
122	>	testing by users and developers of mksh without
123	>	causing an unpleasant default experience.  In the
124	>	long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
125	>
126	>	20090328:
127	>	Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
128	>	and skel were changed.  mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
129	>	as the default /bin/sh.  Please report bugs with
130	>	ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
131	>	as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
132	>	an optional build parameter.
133	>
134	>	ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
135	>	the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
136	>
137	>	Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
138	>	default for login and profile.
139	>
140	>	20090327:
141	>	Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
142	>
143	>	Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
144	>	to the build (part of os).  This will have an impact
145	>	on mports.
146	>
147	>	20090325:
148	>	Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
149	>
150	>	Update mksh to R36b
151	>
152	>	Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
153	>
154	>	Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
155	>
156	>	20090115:
157	>	Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
158	>
159	>	20090110:
160	>	For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
161	>	certificate may be interpreted as valid.  This could for example be
162	>	used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
163	>
164	>	Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
165	>	affected.
166	>
167	>	Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
168	>
169	>	20090104:
170	>	Import GNU libreadline 5.2
171	>
172	>	20090101:
173	>	Update time zone data to 2008i.
174	>
175	>	20081231:
176	>	Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
177	>	properly initialized.
178	>
179	>	Happy 2009.
180	>
181	>	20081206:
182	>	Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
183	>	we're naming the next release 1.0.  The sys/sys/param.h was
184	>	changed accordingly.  ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
185	>	using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.
186	>
187	>	The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today.  Consider
188	>	i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
189	>
190	>	mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
191	>
192	>	batt(1) was rewritten in C.  It now supports several flags and
193	>	runs about 8 times faster on my laptop.  The default output
194	>	shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
195	>	percentage.  You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
196	>	-c to get script friendly output.  Consult the man page for more.
197	>
198	>	20081204:
199	>	Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
200	>	new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
201	>	support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
202	>	openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
203	>	intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
204	>
205	>	Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
206	>	data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version.  This means
207	>	testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
208	>	and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
209	>	sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
210	>
211	>	20080905:
212	>	update nve(4) to support new hardware.
213	>
214	>	20080801:
215	>	Import OpenBSM 1.0
216	>
217	>	Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
218	>
219	>	etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
220	>
221	>	Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
222	>
223	>	The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
224	>
225	>	20080703:
226	>	pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
227	>	or posibly jails.
228	>
229	>	20080627:
230	>	Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
231	>
232	>	Add glabel to GENERIC.
233	>
234	>	Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
235	>
236	>	pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
237	>
238	>	ath added to GENERIC.  (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
239	>
240	>	20080528:
241	>	Sendmail 8.14.3
242	>
243	>	20080516:
244	>	ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
245	>	were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
246	>	few years.  sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
247	>	option.
248	>
249	>	The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
250	>
251	>	20080514:
252	>	Fixed a number of problems with pcc.  It is not yet connected
253	>	to the build, but usable on i386 hosts.  You may use it
254	>	by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc.  It will
255	>	install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
256	>	GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
257	>
258	>	System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
259	>	on MidnightBSD.  bin/cp will work now for instance.
260	>
261	>	20080430:
262	>	__MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc.  This can be tested
263	>	to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
264	>
265	>	20080429:
266	>	Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
267	>
268	>	libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier
269
270	<	20051230:
37	<	A lot of fixes and new features in the soundsystem. To get all
38	<	benefits, you may want to recompile mplayer (if installed) after
39	<	booting the new world.
270	>	pcvt(4) removed!
271
272	<	20051222:
42	<	Bug fixes to the trimdomain(3) function in libutil may result in
43	<	slight changes to the host names appearing in log files under
44	<	relatively rare circumstances.
272	>	Alias added for core2 cpus.
273
274	<	20051220:
47	<	Scripts in the local_startup directories (as defined in
48	<	/etc/defaults/rc.conf) that have the new rc.d semantics will
49	<	now be run as part of the base system rcorder. If there are
50	<	errors or problems with one of these local scripts, it could
51	<	cause boot problems. If you encounter such problems, boot in
52	<	single user mode, remove that script from the */rc.d directory.
53	<	Please report the problem to the port's maintainer, and the
54	<	freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list.
274	>	Alpha and PC98 only utilities removed from usr/sbin
275
276	<	20051215:
277	<	The setkey(8) utility was moved from /usr/sbin/setkey to /sbin/setkey.
58	<	You may want to update scripts which depend on its location.
276	>	syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
277	>	improved.  See the man pages for info.
278
279	<	20051108:
280	<	rp(4)'s device files now contain the unit number.
62	<	Uses of {cua,tty}R[0-9a-f] should be replaced by {cua,tty}R0[0-9a-f].
279	>	periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
280	>	See mailwrapper fix.
281
282	<	20051101:
283	<	FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE
282	>	20080410:
283	>	Sync cpdup with DragonFly.  Add parallel transaction support and
284	>	-l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.
285
286	<	20051001:
287	<	kern.polling.enable sysctl MIB is now deprecated. Use ifconfig(8)
288	<	to turn polling(4) on your interfaces.
286	>	20080406:
287	>	Import bzip2 1.05
288	>	Import OpenSSH 4.9p1
289
290	<	20050722:
291	<	The ai_addrlen of a struct addrinfo was changed to a socklen_t
292	<	to conform to POSIX-2001.  This change broke an ABI
293	<	compatibility on 64 bit architecture.  You have to recompile
75	<	userland programs that use getaddrinfo(3) on 64 bit
76	<	architecture.
290	>	20080322:
291	>	The default umask was changed to 022.
292	>
293	>	/usr/X11R6 paths were removed from several config files.
294
295	<	20050711:
79	<	RELENG_6 branched here.
295	>	.mkshrc files are now installed for root.
296
297	<	20050629:
298	<	The pccard_ifconfig rc.conf variable has been removed and a new
83	<	variable, ifconfig_DEFAULT has been introduced.  Unlike
84	<	pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT applies to ALL interfaces that
85	<	do not have ifconfig_ifn entries rather than just those in
86	<	removable_interfaces.
297	>	20080316:
298	>	FIx a problem with gif0 tunnels and neighbors with IPV6.
299
300	<	20050616:
301	<	Some previous versions of PAM have permitted the use of
90	<	non-absolute paths in /etc/pam.conf or /etc/pam.d/* when referring
91	<	to third party PAM modules in /usr/local/lib.  A change has been
92	<	made to require the use of absolute paths in order to avoid
93	<	ambiguity and dependence on library path configuration, which may
94	<	affect existing configurations.
300	>	20080312:
301	>	Add lndir from X.org.  This aides in the porting of MirPorts.
302
303	<	20050610:
97	<	Major changes to network interface API.  All drivers must be
98	<	recompiled.  Drivers not in the base system will need to be
99	<	updated to the new APIs.
303	>	New OS versions were added to the mapage code (groff)
304
305	<	20050609:
306	<	Changes were made to kinfo_proc in sys/user.h.  Please recompile
103	<	userland, or commands like `fstat', `pkill', `ps', `top' and `w'
104	<	will not behave correctly.
305	>	20080310:
306	>	Correct a buffer overflow in ppp.
307
308	<	The API and ABI for hwpmc(4) have changed with the addition
309	<	of sampling support.  Please recompile lib/libpmc(3) and
108	<	usr.sbin/{pmcstat,pmccontrol}.
308	>	20080308:
309	>	Remove /usr/X11R6 from manpath config.
310
311	<	20050606:
312	<	The OpenBSD dhclient was imported in place of the ISC dhclient
313	<	and the network interface configuration scripts were updated
113	<	accordingly.  If you use DHCP to configure your interfaces, you
114	<	must now run devd.  Also, DNS updating was lost so you will need
115	<	to find a workaround if you use this feature.
311	>	20080307:
312	>	Atheros driver no longer has several options set
313	>	which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms.
314
315	<	20050605:
316	<	if_bridge was added to the tree. This has changed struct ifnet.
119	<	Please recompile userland and all network related modules.
315	>	Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
316	>	thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
317
318	<	20050603:
319	<	The n_net of a struct netent was changed to an uint32_t, and
320	<	1st argument of getnetbyaddr() was changed to an uint32_t, to
124	<	conform to POSIX-2001.  These changes broke an ABI
125	<	compatibility on 64 bit architecture.  With these changes,
126	<	shlib major of libpcap was bumped.  You have to recompile
127	<	userland programs that use getnetbyaddr(3), getnetbyname(3),
128	<	getnetent(3) and/or libpcap on 64 bit architecture.
318	>	Removed OS/2's HPFS file system.   It's not maintained and
319	>	I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
320	>	My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
321
322	<	20050528:
323	<	Kernel parsing of extra options on '#!' first lines of shell
324	<	scripts has changed.  Lines with multiple options likely will
133	<	fail after this date.  For full details, please see
134	<	http://people.freebsd.org/~gad/Updating-20050528.txt
322	>	20080306:
323	>	Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD.  Modified it for MidnightBSD.
324	>	Developers can now use it to check src builds.
325
326	<	20050503:
327	<	The packet filter (pf) code has been updated to OpenBSD 3.7
328	<	Please note the changed anchor syntax and the fact that
139	<	authpf(8) now needs a mounted fdescfs(5) to function.
326	>	20080303:
327	>	Add mksh to /etc/shells, made some adjustments to options
328	>	for mksh builds per suggestion upstream.
329
330	<	20050415:
142	<	The NO_MIXED_MODE kernel option has been removed from the i386
143	<	amd64 platforms as its use has been superceded by the new local
144	<	APIC timer code.  Any kernel config files containing this option
145	<	should be updated.
330	>	USB HID table updated with modern hardware list.
331
332	<	20050227:
148	<	The on-disk format of LC_CTYPE files was changed to be machine
149	<	independent.  Please make sure NOT to use NO_CLEAN buildworld
150	<	when crossing this point. Crossing this point also requires
151	<	recompile or reinstall of all locale depended packages.

402
403	<	General Notes
404	<	-------------
271	<	Avoid using make -j when upgrading.  From time to time in the
272	<	past there have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or
273	<	installworld.  This is especially true when upgrading between
274	<	"distant" versions (eg one that cross a major release boundary
275	<	or several minor releases, or when several months have passed
276	<	on the -current branch).
403	>	20070806:
404	>	Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
405
406	<	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
407	<	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
280	<	environment when searching for values for global variables.
281	<	To run your build attempts in an "environmental clean room",
282	<	prefix all make commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual
283	<	page for more details.
406	>	20070804:
407	>	BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
408
409	<	Due to several updates to the build infrastructure, source
286	<	upgrades from versions prior to 5.3 no longer supported.
409	>	We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
410
411	<	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally
412	<	best to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch
290	<	first, then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested
291	<	upgrade path, and has the highest probability of being successful.
292	<	Please try this approach before reporting problems with a major
293	<	version upgrade.
411	>	20070719:
412	>	Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
413
414	+	20070716:
415	+	Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
416	+
417	+	20070410:
418	+	cvs was updated to 1.12.13.  cvsbug was removed.
419	+	cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
420	+	most of their local changes.
421	+
422	+	20070409:
423	+	RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
424	+	continue here.
425	+
426	+	20070406:
427	+	Back out propolice.  propolice caused several problems
428	+	with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
429	+	curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
430	+	multithreaded applications would crash.  We plan to
431	+	work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
432	+	patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
433	+
434	+	It is more important to have a stable system for our
435	+	mport work and other projects at this time.
436	+
437	+	This is not a clean removal.  It is recommended that you
438	+	have a recently SNAP CD handy.  You can either reinstall
439	+	or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
440	+	make installkernel.  Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
441	+	of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
442	+	/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
443	+	your disk.  Then you should be able to boot into single user
444	+	mode and run make installworld.  You will need to run
445	+	chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
446	+	them.
447	+
448	+	You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
449	+	this from libc.
450	+
451	+	You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
452	+	installed.
453	+
454	+	20070401:
455	+	Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
456	+	provide us with much greater security and stability in the
457	+	long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
458	+	follow the these instructions:
459	+
460	+	cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
461	+	cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
462	+	cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
463	+	cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
464	+	buildworld and kernel
465	+
466	+	It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
467	+	prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
468	+	or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
469	+	and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
470	+	fix.
471	+
472	+	20070314:
473	+	Remove send-pr from src.
474	+
475	+	Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
476	+
477	+	Bump MBSD minor revision.
478	+
479	+	20070313:
480	+	Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
481	+
482	+	Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
483	+
484	+	Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
485	+	the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
486	+
487	+	20070312:
488	+	Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
489	+	BSD Daemon files from src/share.
490	+
491	+	20070308:
492	+	Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
493	+	the Dell perc5i.
494	+
495	+	20070206:
496	+	Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
497	+	/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
498	+
499	+	Those who install from a snapshot after this date
500	+	will not be effected.
501	+
502	+	20070119:
503	+	Added audit group.  Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
504	+	before installing world.
505	+
506	+	hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
507	+
508	+	An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
509	+	unbreak world.
510	+
511	+	wpa_supplicant was updated.
512	+
513	+	For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
514	+	sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release.  Nearly every change between the original
515	+	fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
516	+	2006 will be merged.  Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
517	+	will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
518	+
519	+	20061231:
520	+	Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.
521	+
522	+	Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.
523	+
524	+	Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
525	+	synced all commits between the fork and that version.  It is now safe
526	+	to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
527	+	Feb 26, 2006.
528	+
529	+	Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD.  Also added additional
530	+	dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
531	+	/usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math
532	+
533	+	Numerous man page and bug fixes.
534	+
535	+	20061226:
536	+	Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
537	+	MidnightBSD CVSup server.
538	+
539	+	Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
540	+	erasing CDRW media.
541	+
542	+	Add csup to /usr/bin.  csup is a CVSup replacement written
543	+	in C.
544	+
545	+	Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
546	+
547	+	Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
548	+	geom.  Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
549	+
550	+	20061225:
551	+	Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
552	+	that caused long double to long and long long
553	+	conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
554	+
555	+	20061221:
556	+	Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
557	+	batteries are present.
558	+
559	+	Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
560	+	RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
561	+
562	+	Corrected a bug with TTY.
563	+
564	+	20061218:
565	+	Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
566	+	threads don't get scheduled.
567	+
568	+	20061206:
569	+	Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
570	+
571	+	20061129:
572	+	Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
573	+
574	+	Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
575	+	FreeBSD.
576	+
577	+	20061031:
578	+	Updated man pages in section 7.
579	+
580	+	20061030:
581	+	Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon
582	+	r300 cards properly.
583	+
584	+	Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
585	+
586	+	Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
587	+
588	+	20061027:
589	+	Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
590	+	random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated.  Changes
591	+	to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
592	+	commited.
593	+
594	+	lukemftpd updated.
595	+
596	+	openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
597	+	seeding.
598	+
599	+	20061014:
600	+	Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ.
601	+
602	+	Started removal of alpha support.
603	+
604	+	20061013:
605	+	ATA driver was updated.  USB/USB1/USB2 types added.
606	+
607	+	20061010:
608	+	OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.
609	+
610	+	20060909:
611	+	OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD.  Run make delete-old to remove
612	+	the old ntpd daemon.
613	+
614	+	cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
615	+	on a per line basis.
616	+
617	+	The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
618	+	keyboard connected simultaneously.  USB keyboard support was also
619	+	improved with this patch.
620	+
621	+	The Intel em driver was updated.  Network performance was greatly
622	+	increased on many systems.  Additional models are supported.
623	+
624	+	The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.
625	+
626	+	Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition.
627	+
628	+	20060817:
629	+	ksh has been added to the base system.  If you previously had
630	+	the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.
