/usr/src/UPDATING:-
...
20110221:
    8.2-RELEASE.

20101126:
    New version of minidump format for amd64 architecture was
    introduced in r215872.  To analyze vmcore files produced by
    kernels at or after this version you will need updated userland,
    libkvm actually, that is able to handle the new version.
