+       LLVM's lld linker is now used as the FreeBSD/amd64 bootstrap linker.
+       This means it is used to link the kernel and userland libraries and
+       executables, but is not yet installed as /usr/bin/ld by default.

+       To revert to ld.bfd as the bootstrap linker, in /etc/src.conf set

        On i386, pmtimer has been removed. It's functionality has been folded
        into apm. It was a nop on ACPI in current for a while now (but was still
        needed on i386 in FreeBSD 11 and earlier). Users may need to remove it
