et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but |
| 20 |
+ |
not included in GENERIC kernel. The kernel module needs |
| 21 |
+ |
testing before we can include it in GENERIC. |
| 22 |
+ |
|
| 23 |
+ |
intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one |
| 24 |
+ |
specific CPU core. |
| 25 |

Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011) |
| 28 |
+ |
|
| 29 |
+ |
Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data. |
| 30 |
+ |
|
| 31 |
+ |
20111015: |
| 32 |
+ |
Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used |
| 33 |
+ |
to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given |
| 34 |
+ |
process. Several new system calls were added to support this |
| 35 |
+ |
functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary |
| 36 |
+ |
compatibility on amd64. |
| 37 |
+ |
|
| 38 |
+ |
The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and |
| 39 |
+ |
amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE) |
| 40 |
+ |
for this feature. |
| 41 |
+ |
|
| 42 |
+ |
This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches. |
| 43 |
+ |
|
| 44 |
+ |
20111004: |
| 45 |
+ |
Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent |
| 46 |
+ |
patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network |
| 47 |
+ |
apps to work under the linuxolator again. |
| 48 |
+ |
|
| 49 |
+ |
20111001: |
| 50 |
+ |
Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is |
| 51 |
+ |
now default and an environment variable must be set to use |
| 52 |
+ |
active. |
| 53 |
+ |
|
| 54 |
+ |
20110930: |
| 55 |
+ |
Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including |
| 56 |
+ |
USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices. |
| 57 |
+ |
|
| 58 |
+ |
Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4). |
| 59 |
+ |
Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed |
| 60 |
+ |
when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum |
| 61 |
+ |
offloading. |
| 62 |
+ |
|
| 63 |
+ |
Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when |
| 64 |
+ |
working with large raid3 sets. |
| 65 |
+ |
|
| 66 |
+ |
Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller. |
| 67 |
+ |
|
| 68 |
+ |
20110929: |
| 69 |
+ |
Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3. |
| 70 |
+ |
|
| 71 |
+ |
The following modules are no longer available, and should be |
| 72 |
+ |
removed from loader.conf: |
| 73 |
+ |
ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample |
| 74 |
+ |
|
| 75 |
+ |
alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often |
| 76 |
+ |
required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that |
| 77 |
+ |
a connection could be established. Disable hibernation. |
| 78 |
+ |
|
| 79 |
+ |
20110928: |
| 80 |
+ |
Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z |
| 81 |
+ |
files that are corrupted. |
| 82 |
+ |
|
| 83 |
+ |
Fix path validation with unix domain sockets. |
| 84 |
+ |
|
| 85 |
+ |
20110917: |
| 86 |
+ |
Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as |
| 87 |
+ |
it's in the base system. |
| 88 |
+ |
|
| 89 |
+ |
20110914: |
| 90 |
+ |
Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3 |
| 91 |
+ |
|
| 92 |
+ |
20110813: |
| 93 |
+ |
synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64. |
| 94 |
+ |
|
| 95 |
+ |
20110806: |
| 96 |
+ |
sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported |
| 97 |
+ |
|
| 98 |
+ |
msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides |
| 99 |
+ |
a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used |
| 100 |
+ |
to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable |
| 101 |
+ |
index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the |
| 102 |
+ |
/usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable |
| 103 |
+ |
space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently. |
| 104 |
+ |
|
| 105 |
+ |
Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package |
| 106 |
+ |
versions. This will be obsolete with mport though. |
| 107 |
+ |
|
| 108 |
+ |
20110710: |
| 109 |
+ |
kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to |
| 110 |
+ |
know why it's in use and thus script can be run. |
| 111 |
+ |
|
| 112 |
+ |
Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed |
| 113 |
+ |
|
| 114 |
+ |
20110709: |
| 115 |
+ |
cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change |
| 116 |
+ |
with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4). |
| 117 |
+ |
|
| 118 |
