@@ -1425,512 +1425,6 @@ NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 12.x IS SLOW:
The stable/10 branch has been created in subversion from head
revision r256279.
-20131010:
- The rc.d/jail script has been updated to support jail(8)
- configuration file. The "jail_<jname>_*" rc.conf(5) variables
- for per-jail configuration are automatically converted to
- /var/run/jail.<jname>.conf before the jail(8) utility is invoked.
- This is transparently backward compatible. See below about some
- incompatibilities and rc.conf(5) manual page for more details.
-
- These variables are now deprecated in favor of jail(8) configuration
- file. One can use "rc.d/jail config <jname>" command to generate
- a jail(8) configuration file in /var/run/jail.<jname>.conf without
- running the jail(8) utility. The default pathname of the
- configuration file is /etc/jail.conf and can be specified by
- using $jail_conf or $jail_<jname>_conf variables.
-
- Please note that jail_devfs_ruleset accepts an integer at
- this moment. Please consider to rewrite the ruleset name
- with an integer.
-
-20130930:
- BIND has been removed from the base system. If all you need
- is a local resolver, simply enable and start the local_unbound
- service instead. Otherwise, several versions of BIND are
- available in the ports tree. The dns/bind99 port is one example.
-
- With this change, nslookup(1) and dig(1) are no longer in the base
- system. Users should instead use host(1) and drill(1) which are
- in the base system. Alternatively, nslookup and dig can
- be obtained by installing the dns/bind-tools port.
-
-20130916:
- With the addition of unbound(8), a new unbound user is now
- required during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to
- add the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
-
-20130911:
- OpenSSH is now built with DNSSEC support, and will by default
- silently trust signed SSHFP records. This can be controlled with
- the VerifyHostKeyDNS client configuration setting. DNSSEC support
- can be disabled entirely with the WITHOUT_LDNS option in src.conf.
-
-20130906:
- The GNU Compiler Collection and C++ standard library (libstdc++)
- are no longer built by default on platforms where clang is the system
- compiler. You can enable them with the WITH_GCC and WITH_GNUCXX
- options in src.conf.
-
-20130905:
- The PROCDESC kernel option is now part of the GENERIC kernel
- configuration and is required for the rwhod(8) to work.
- If you are using custom kernel configuration, you should include
- 'options PROCDESC'.
-
-20130905:
- The API and ABI related to the Capsicum framework was modified
- in backward incompatible way. The userland libraries and programs
- have to be recompiled to work with the new kernel. This includes the
- following libraries and programs, but the whole buildworld is
- advised: libc, libprocstat, dhclient, tcpdump, hastd, hastctl,
- kdump, procstat, rwho, rwhod, uniq.
-
-20130903:
- AES-NI intrinsic support has been added to gcc. The AES-NI module
- has been updated to use this support. A new gcc is required to build
- the aesni module on both i386 and amd64.
-
-20130821:
- The PADLOCK_RNG and RDRAND_RNG kernel options are now devices.
- Thus "device padlock_rng" and "device rdrand_rng" should be
- used instead of "options PADLOCK_RNG" & "options RDRAND_RNG".
-
-20130813:
- WITH_ICONV has been split into two feature sets. WITH_ICONV now
- enables just the iconv* functionality and is now on by default.
- WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT enables the libiconv api and link time
- compatibility. Set WITHOUT_ICONV to build the old way.
- If you have been using WITH_ICONV before, you will very likely
- need to turn on WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT.
-
-20130806:
- INVARIANTS option now enables DEBUG for code with OpenSolaris and
- Illumos origin, including ZFS. If you have INVARIANTS in your
- kernel configuration, then there is no need to set DEBUG or ZFS_DEBUG
- explicitly.
- DEBUG used to enable witness(9) tracking of OpenSolaris (mostly ZFS)
- locks if WITNESS option was set. Because that generated a lot of
- witness(9) reports and all of them were believed to be false
- positives, this is no longer done. New option OPENSOLARIS_WITNESS
- can be used to achieve the previous behavior.
-
-20130806:
- Timer values in IPv6 data structures now use time_uptime instead
- of time_second. Although this is not a user-visible functional
- change, userland utilities which directly use them---ndp(8),
- rtadvd(8), and rtsold(8) in the base system---need to be updated
- to r253970 or later.
-
-20130802:
- find -delete can now delete the pathnames given as arguments,
- instead of only files found below them or if the pathname did
- not contain any slashes. Formerly, the following error message
- would result:
-
- find: -delete: <path>: relative path potentially not safe
-
- Deleting the pathnames given as arguments can be prevented
- without error messages using -mindepth 1 or by changing
- directory and passing "." as argument to find. This works in the
- old as well as the new version of find.
-
-20130726:
- Behavior of devfs rules path matching has been changed.
- Pattern is now always matched against fully qualified devfs
- path and slash characters must be explicitly matched by
- slashes in pattern (FNM_PATHNAME). Rulesets involving devfs
- subdirectories must be reviewed.
-
-20130716:
- The default ARM ABI has changed to the ARM EABI. The old ABI is
- incompatible with the ARM EABI and all programs and modules will
- need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
-
- To keep using the old ABI ensure the WITHOUT_ARM_EABI knob is set.
-
- NOTE: Support for the old ABI will be removed in the future and
- users are advised to upgrade.
-
-20130709:
- pkg_install has been disconnected from the build if you really need it
- you should add WITH_PKGTOOLS in your src.conf(5).
-
-20130709:
- Most of network statistics structures were changed to be able
- keep 64-bits counters. Thus all tools, that work with networking
- statistics, must be rebuilt (netstat(1), bsnmpd(1), etc.)
-
-20130618:
- Fix a bug that allowed a tracing process (e.g. gdb) to write
- to a memory-mapped file in the traced process's address space
- even if neither the traced process nor the tracing process had
- write access to that file.
-
-20130615:
- CVS has been removed from the base system. An exact copy
- of the code is available from the devel/cvs port.
-
-20130613:
- Some people report the following error after the switch to bmake:
-
- make: illegal option -- J
- usage: make [-BPSXeiknpqrstv] [-C directory] [-D variable]
- ...
- *** [buildworld] Error code 2
-
- this likely due to an old instance of make in
- ${MAKEPATH} (${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}/make.${MACHINE})
- which src/Makefile will use that blindly, if it exists, so if
- you see the above error:
-
- rm -rf `make -V MAKEPATH`
-
- should resolve it.
-
-20130516:
- Use bmake by default.
- Whereas before one could choose to build with bmake via
- -DWITH_BMAKE one must now use -DWITHOUT_BMAKE to use the old
- make. The goal is to remove these knobs for 10-RELEASE.
-
- It is worth noting that bmake (like gmake) treats the command
- line as the unit of failure, rather than statements within the
- command line. Thus '(cd some/where && dosomething)' is safer
- than 'cd some/where; dosomething'. The '()' allows consistent
- behavior in parallel build.
-
-20130429:
- Fix a bug that allows NFS clients to issue READDIR on files.
-
-20130426:
- The WITHOUT_IDEA option has been removed because
- the IDEA patent expired.
-
-20130426:
- The sysctl which controls TRIM support under ZFS has been renamed
- from vfs.zfs.trim_disable -> vfs.zfs.trim.enabled and has been
- enabled by default.
-
-20130425:
- The mergemaster command now uses the default MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
- rather than creating it's own in the temporary directory in
- order allow access to bootstrapped versions of tools such as
- install and mtree. When upgrading from version of FreeBSD where
- the install command does not support -l, you will need to
- install a new mergemaster command if mergemaster -p is required.
- This can be accomplished with the command (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster
- && make install).
-
-20130404:
- Legacy ATA stack, disabled and replaced by new CAM-based one since
- FreeBSD 9.0, completely removed from the sources. Kernel modules
- atadisk and atapi*, user-level tools atacontrol and burncd are
- removed. Kernel option `options ATA_CAM` is now permanently enabled
- and removed.
-
-20130319:
- SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK flags have been added to socket(2)
- and socketpair(2). Software, in particular Kerberos, may
- automatically detect and use these during building. The resulting
- binaries will not work on older kernels.
-
-20130308:
- CTL_DISABLE has also been added to the sparc64 GENERIC (for further
- information, see the respective 20130304 entry).
-
-20130304:
- Recent commits to callout(9) changed the size of struct callout,
- so the KBI is probably heavily disturbed. Also, some functions
- in callout(9)/sleep(9)/sleepqueue(9)/condvar(9) KPIs were replaced
- by macros. Every kernel module using it won't load, so rebuild
- is requested.
-
- The ctl device has been re-enabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64,
- but does not initialize by default (because of the new CTL_DISABLE
- option) to save memory. To re-enable it, remove the CTL_DISABLE
- option from the kernel config file or set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0
- in /boot/loader.conf.
-
-20130301:
- The ctl device has been disabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64.
- This was done due to the extra memory being allocated at system
- initialisation time by the ctl driver which was only used if
- a CAM target device was created. This makes a FreeBSD system
- unusable on 128MB or less of RAM.
-
-20130208:
- A new compression method (lz4) has been merged to -HEAD. Please
- refer to zpool-features(7) for more information.
-
- Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
- on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
-
-20130129:
- A BSD-licensed patch(1) variant has been added and is installed
- as bsdpatch, being the GNU version the default patch.
- To inverse the logic and use the BSD-licensed one as default,
- while having the GNU version installed as gnupatch, rebuild
- and install world with the WITH_BSD_PATCH knob set.
-
-20130121:
- Due to the use of the new -l option to install(1) during build
- and install, you must take care not to directly set the INSTALL
- make variable in your /etc/make.conf, /etc/src.conf, or on the
- command line. If you wish to use the -C flag for all installs
- you may be able to add INSTALL+=-C to /etc/make.conf or
- /etc/src.conf.
-
-20130118:
- The install(1) option -M has changed meaning and now takes an
- argument that is a file or path to append logs to. In the
- unlikely event that -M was the last option on the command line
- and the command line contained at least two files and a target
- directory the first file will have logs appended to it. The -M
- option served little practical purpose in the last decade so its
- use is expected to be extremely rare.
-
-20121223:
- After switching to Clang as the default compiler some users of ZFS
- on i386 systems started to experience stack overflow kernel panics.
- Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=4' in such configurations.
-
-20121222:
- GEOM_LABEL now mangles label names read from file system metadata.
- Mangling affect labels containing spaces, non-printable characters,
- '%' or '"'. Device names in /etc/fstab and other places may need to
- be updated.
-
-20121217:
- By default, only the 10 most recent kernel dumps will be saved. To
- restore the previous behaviour (no limit on the number of kernel dumps
- stored in the dump directory) add the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
-
- savecore_flags=""
-
-20121201:
- With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
- required during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to
- add the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
-
-20121117:
- The sin6_scope_id member variable in struct sockaddr_in6 is now
- filled by the kernel before passing the structure to the userland via
- sysctl or routing socket. This means the KAME-specific embedded scope
- id in sin6_addr.s6_addr[2] is always cleared in userland application.
- This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid.
- __FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1000025.
-
-20121105:
- On i386 and amd64 systems WITH_CLANG_IS_CC is now the default.
- This means that the world and kernel will be compiled with clang
- and that clang will be installed as /usr/bin/cc, /usr/bin/c++,
- and /usr/bin/cpp. To disable this behavior and revert to building
- with gcc, compile with WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC. Really old versions
- of current may need to bootstrap WITHOUT_CLANG first if the clang
- build fails (its compatibility window doesn't extend to the 9 stable
- branch point).
-
-20121102:
- The IPFIREWALL_FORWARD kernel option has been removed. Its
- functionality now turned on by default.
-
-20121023:
- The ZERO_COPY_SOCKET kernel option has been removed and
- split into SOCKET_SEND_COW and SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP.
- NB: SOCKET_SEND_COW uses the VM page based copy-on-write
- mechanism which is not safe and may result in kernel crashes.
- NB: The SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP mechanism is useless as no current
- driver supports disposeable external page sized mbuf storage.
- Proper replacements for both zero-copy mechanisms are under
- consideration and will eventually lead to complete removal
- of the two kernel options.
-
-20121023:
- The IPv4 network stack has been converted to network byte
- order. The following modules need to be recompiled together
- with kernel: carp(4), divert(4), gif(4), siftr(4), gre(4),
- pf(4), ipfw(4), ng_ipfw(4), stf(4).
-
-20121022:
- Support for non-MPSAFE filesystems was removed from VFS. The
- VFS_VERSION was bumped, all filesystem modules shall be
- recompiled.
-
-20121018:
- All the non-MPSAFE filesystems have been disconnected from
- the build. The full list includes: codafs, hpfs, ntfs, nwfs,
- portalfs, smbfs, xfs.
-
-20121016:
- The interface cloning API and ABI has changed. The following
- modules need to be recompiled together with kernel:
- ipfw(4), pfsync(4), pflog(4), usb(4), wlan(4), stf(4),
- vlan(4), disc(4), edsc(4), if_bridge(4), gif(4), tap(4),
- faith(4), epair(4), enc(4), tun(4), if_lagg(4), gre(4).
-
-20121015:
- The sdhci driver was split in two parts: sdhci (generic SD Host
- Controller logic) and sdhci_pci (actual hardware driver).
- No kernel config modifications are required, but if you
- load sdhc as a module you must switch to sdhci_pci instead.
-
-20121014:
- Import the FUSE kernel and userland support into base system.
-
-20121013:
- The GNU sort(1) program has been removed since the BSD-licensed
- sort(1) has been the default for quite some time and no serious
- problems have been reported. The corresponding WITH_GNU_SORT
- knob has also gone.
-
-20121006:
- The pfil(9) API/ABI for AF_INET family has been changed. Packet
- filtering modules: pf(4), ipfw(4), ipfilter(4) need to be recompiled
- with new kernel.
-
-20121001:
- The net80211(4) ABI has been changed to allow for improved driver
- PS-POLL and power-save support. All wireless drivers need to be
- recompiled to work with the new kernel.
-
-20120913:
- The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
- generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
- Add the padlock_rng device in the custom kernel config if
- needed. The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
- device, so the change only affects the custom kernel
- configurations.
-
-20120908:
- The pf(4) packet filter ABI has been changed. pfctl(8) and
- snmp_pf module need to be recompiled to work with new kernel.
-
-20120828:
- A new ZFS feature flag "com.delphix:empty_bpobj" has been merged
- to -HEAD. Pools that have empty_bpobj in active state can not be
- imported read-write with ZFS implementations that do not support
- this feature. For more information read the zpool-features(5)
- manual page.
-
-20120727:
- The sparc64 ZFS loader has been changed to no longer try to auto-
- detect ZFS providers based on diskN aliases but now requires these
- to be explicitly listed in the OFW boot-device environment variable.
-
-20120712:
- The OpenSSL has been upgraded to 1.0.1c. Any binaries requiring
- libcrypto.so.6 or libssl.so.6 must be recompiled. Also, there are
- configuration changes. Make sure to merge /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.
-
-20120712:
- The following sysctls and tunables have been renamed for consistency
- with other variables:
- kern.cam.da.da_send_ordered -> kern.cam.da.send_ordered
- kern.cam.ada.ada_send_ordered -> kern.cam.ada.send_ordered
-
-20120628:
- The sort utility has been replaced with BSD sort. For now, GNU sort
- is also available as "gnusort" or the default can be set back to
- GNU sort by setting WITH_GNU_SORT. In this case, BSD sort will be
- installed as "bsdsort".
-
-20120611:
- A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged to -HEAD.
- Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
- is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
- compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
- pools. The first read-only compatible "feature flag" for ZFS pools
- is named "com.delphix:async_destroy". For more information
- read the new zpool-features(5) manual page.
- Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
- on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
-
-20120417:
- The malloc(3) implementation embedded in libc now uses sources imported
- as contrib/jemalloc. The most disruptive API change is to
- /etc/malloc.conf. If your system has an old-style /etc/malloc.conf,
- delete it prior to installworld, and optionally re-create it using the
- new format after rebooting. See malloc.conf(5) for details
- (specifically the TUNING section and the "opt.*" entries in the MALLCTL
- NAMESPACE section).
-
-20120328:
- Big-endian MIPS TARGET_ARCH values no longer end in "eb". mips64eb
- is now spelled mips64. mipsn32eb is now spelled mipsn32. mipseb is
- now spelled mips. This is to aid compatibility with third-party
- software that expects this naming scheme in uname(3). Little-endian
- settings are unchanged. If you are updating a big-endian mips64 machine
- from before this change, you may need to set MACHINE_ARCH=mips64 in
- your environment before the new build system will recognize your
machine.
-
-20120306:
- Disable by default the option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE for all supported
- platforms.
-
-20120229:
- Now unix domain sockets behave "as expected" on nullfs(5). Previously
- nullfs(5) did not pass through all behaviours to the underlying layer,
- as a result if we bound to a socket on the lower layer we could connect
- only to the lower path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect
- only to the upper path. The new behavior is one can connect to both the
- lower and the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to.
-
-20120211:
- The getifaddrs upgrade path broken with 20111215 has been restored.
- If you have upgraded in between 20111215 and 20120209 you need to
- recompile libc again with your kernel. You still need to recompile
- world to be able to configure CARP but this restriction already
- comes from 20111215.
-
-20120114:
- The set_rcvar() function has been removed from /etc/rc.subr. All
- base and ports rc.d scripts have been updated, so if you have a
- port installed with a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d you can either
- hand-edit the rcvar= line, or reinstall the port.
-
- An easy way to handle the mass-update of /etc/rc.d:
- rm /etc/rc.d/* && mergemaster -i
-
-20120109:
- panic(9) now stops other CPUs in the SMP systems, disables interrupts
- on the current CPU and prevents other threads from running.
- This behavior can be reverted using the kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic
- tunable/sysctl.
- The new behavior can be incompatible with kern.sync_on_panic.
-
-20111215:
- The carp(4) facility has been changed significantly. Configuration
- of the CARP protocol via ifconfig(8) has changed, as well as format
- of CARP events submitted to devd(8) has changed. See manual pages
- for more information. The arpbalance feature of carp(4) is currently
- not supported anymore.
-
- Size of struct in_aliasreq, struct in6_aliasreq has changed. User
- utilities using SIOCAIFADDR, SIOCAIFADDR_IN6, e.g. ifconfig(8),
- need to be recompiled.
-
-20111122:
- The acpi_wmi(4) status device /dev/wmistat has been renamed to
- /dev/wmistat0.
-
-20111108:
- The option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE option has been added in order to
- explicitely support non-MPSAFE filesystems.
- It is on by default for all supported platform at this present
- time.
-
-20111101:
- The broken amd(4) driver has been replaced with esp(4) in the amd64,
- i386 and pc98 GENERIC kernel configuration files.
-
-20110930:
- sysinstall has been removed
-
-20110923:
- The stable/9 branch created in subversion. This corresponds to the
- RELENG_9 branch in CVS.
