<h2>Introduction</h2> |

|

|
|
<p>MidnightBSD is a desktop operating system for x86 compatible (including Pentium® and Athlon™), and soon amd64 compatible (including Opteron™, Athlon™64, and EM64T) architectures. It was originally based on <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/">FreeBSD</a> 6.1 Beta. The goal of the project is to create a BSD with ease of use and simplicity in mind.</p> |

While many of the DST changes were imported last year, we decided to cover all cases and import |
| 82 |
|
|
the latest tzdata2007c. Users concerned about DST changes should update their sources |
| 83 |
|
|
and rebuild. The java ports may not have DST changes in place. We will review that issue. |

A "symlink" exploit was found in the MidnightBSD jail system. A fix was made available. Please |
| 90 |
|
|
update your /etc/rc.d/jail file from cvs. Patches will not be created until our first release. |
