released by extending some level of 32-bit support for one or
more platforms in 15.0 or later. Users should use the
stable/14 branch to migrate off of 32-bit platforms.
-
-3cb2f5f369ec:
- The lua-flavored loader(8) will now interpret .lua files that appear in
- loader_conf_files as lua, and execute them in a sandbox. Existing
- loader environment variables are available as globals in the sandbox,
- and any global variable set, if not a table value, will be reflected in
- the loader environment upon successful execution of the configuration
- file. Environment variables with names that aren't valid lua names may
- be accessed as indices of _ENV; e.g., _ENV['net.fibs'].
-
-bdc81eeda05d:
- nda is now the default nvme device on all platforms. While nda creates
- nvd links by default so fstab, etc continues to work, configuration
- should be updated to the new nda devices.
-
- To restore the old behavior, add hw.nvme.use_nvd=1 to loader.conf or
- `options NVME_USE_NVD=1` to the kernel config. To disable the nvd
- compatibility aliases, add kern.cam.nda.nvd_compat=0 to loader.conf.
-
-bbb2d2ce4220:
- Change pw (hence bsdinstall) not to move /home to /usr/home.
- Previously, when creating the path to home directories, pw
- would move any path in the root directory under /usr, creating
- a symlink in root. In particular, the default /home would become
- /usr/home. Now /home is at the top level by default. /usr/home
- can be used explicitly.
-
-3416e102c4e9:
- Remove TI code from armv7 GENERIC kernel.
- This code doesn't cope with newer DTS and hasn't in a long time so
- support for TI armv7 platform (like BeagleBone and Pandaboard) is now
- removed from GENERIC.
-
-d198b8774d2c:
- Add a new "fwget" utility.
- The goal of this utility is to inspect the system for peripherals
- that needs firmware and install the appropriate packages for them.
- For now only pci subsystem is supported and only firmwares for Intel
- and AMD GPUs are known.
-
-896516e54a8c:
- Add a new "syskrb5" mount option for Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts.
- Without this patch, a Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mount must provide
- a Kerberos credential for the client at mount time.
- This patch uses a feature of NFSv4.1/4.2 called SP4_NONE, which
- allows the state maintenance operations to be performed by any
- authentication mechanism, so that these operations may be done via
- AUTH_SYS instead of RPCSEC_GSS (KerberosV). As such, no Kerberos
- credential is required at mount time.
- See mount_nfs(8).
-
-330aa8acdec7,ff2f1f691cdb:
- Adds support for the SP4_MACH_CRED case for the
- NFSv4.1/4.2 ExchangeID operation since the Linux
- NFSv4.1/4.2 client is now using this for Kerberized mounts.
- This change should only affect Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts.
- The Linux Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts currently work without
- support for this because Linux will fall back to SP4_NONE,
- but there is no guarantee this fallback will work forever.
-
-7344856e3a6d and many others:
- Add support so that nfsd(8), nfsuserd(8), mountd(8), gssd(8)
- and rpc.tlsservd(8) can be run in an appropriately configured
- vnet prison. The vnet prison must be on its own file system,
- have the "allow.nfsd" jail parameter set on it and enforce_statfs
- cannot be set to "0". Use of UDP and pNFS server configurations
- are not permitted. (ie. The nfsd command line options "-u", "-p"
- and "-m" are not supported.)
- See jail(8), nfsd(8) and mountd(8).

- sendmail has been updated to the latest upstream version (8.17.1).
-
-4a30d7bb373c,d670a8f7c596,af01b4722577,4e240e55d818:
- The growfs(7) script can now add a swap partition at the end of
- the expansion area, and does so by default if there is no existing
- swap. See growfs(7).
-
-86edb11e7491:
- llvm-objdump is now always installed as objdump.
-
-616f32ea6da7:
- mta_start_script along with othermta rc.d script has been retired.
-
-a67b925ff3e5:
- The default mail transport agent is now dma(8) replacing sendmail.
-
-22893e584032:
- L3 filtering on if_bridge will do surprising things which aren't
- fail-safe, so net.link.bridge.pfil_member and
- net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge now default to zero.
-
-f0bc4ed144fc:
- A new DTrace provider, kinst, is introduced and documented in
- dtrace_kinst(4). The provider allows kernel instructions to be traced,
- similar to the FBT (function boundary tracing) provider except that all
- instructions may be probed instead of logical entry and return
- instructions. The provider is currently amd64-only.
-
-0aa2700123e2:
- OPIE has been removed from the base system. If you still wish
- to use it, install the security/opie port. Otherwise, make
- sure to remove or comment out any mention of pam_opie and
- pam_opieaccess from your PAM policies (etcupdate will normally
- take care of this for the stock policies).
-
-0eea46fb1f83:
- Removed telnetd.
-
-981ef32230b2,33721eb991d8:
- These commits make the use of NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts with the "intr"
- mount option fairly usable, although not 100% correct, so long as
- the "nolockd" mount option is used as well. See the mount_nfs(8)
- manual page for more information.
-
-b875d4f5ddcb,0685c73cfe88:
- The NFSv4.1/4.2 client and server will now generate console messages
- if sessions are broken, suggesting that users check to ensure
- that the /etc/hostid strings are unique for all NFSv4.1/4.2 clients.
-
-240afd8c1fcc:
- makefs(8) has ZFS support; it can create a ZFS pool, backed by a
- single disk vdev, containing one or more datasets populated from
- the staging directory.
-
-78ee8d1c4cda,f4f56ff43dbd:
- The in-tree qat(4) driver has been replaced with Intel's QAT driver.
- The new version provides additional interfaces to the chipset's
- cryptographic and compression offload functionality.
-
- This will have no visible change for most users; however, the new
- driver does not support Atom C2000 chipsets. To preserve support for
- those chipsets, the old driver has been renamed to qat_c2xxx and kept
- in the tree. Users of qat(4) on C2000 hardware will thus need to
- ensure that qat_c2xxx(4) is loaded instead of qat(4).
-

- Boottrace is a new kernel-userspace interface for capturing trace
- events during system boot and shutdown. Event annotations are
- present in:
-
- - The boot and shutdown paths in the kernel
- - Some key system utilities (init(8), shutdown(8), reboot(8))
- - rc(8) scripts (via boottrace(8))
-
- In contrast to other existing boot-time tracing facilities like TSLOG,
- Boottrace focuses on the ease of use and is aimed primarily at system
- administrators.
-
- It is available in the default GENERIC kernel and can be enabled by
- toggling a single sysctl(8) variable.
-
- See boottrace(4) for more details.
-
-05a1d0f5d7ac:
- Kernel TLS offload now supports receive-side offload of TLS 1.3.
-
-19dc64451179:
- if_stf now supports 6rd (RFC5969).
-
-c1d255d3ffdb, 3968b47cd974, bd452dcbede6:
- Add WiFi 6 support to wpa.
-
-ba48d52ca6c8,4ac3d08a9693,2533eca1c2b9:
- The default bell tone is now 800Hz. It may be set with kbdcontrol
- again. There's devd integration for people wishing to use their sound
- cards for the beep.
-
-92b3e07229ba:
- net.inet.tcp.nolocaltimewait enabled by default. It prevents
- creation of timewait entries for TCP connections that were
- terminated locally.
-
-d410b585b6f0:
- sh(1) is now the default shell for the root user.
-
-396851c20aeb:
- libncursesw has been split into libtinfow and libncursesw, linker
- scripts should make it transparent for consumers. pkg-config files
- are also now installed to ease ports detecting the ncurses setup from
- base.
-
-a422084abbda:
- LLVM's MemorySanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the
- kmsan(9) manual page for more information.
-
-38da497a4dfc:
- LLVM's AddressSanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the
- kasan(9) manual page for more information.
-
-f39dd6a97844,23f24377b1a9,628bd30ab5a4:
- One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream
- (20210727). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been
- either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include:
- o Locale is no longer used for ranges
- o Various bugs fixed
- o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk
-
- The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that
- we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and
- interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one
- true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic
- behavior.
-
- A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart
- if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator
- is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14.
-
-ee29e6f31111:
- Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio
- that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS
- server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running.
- The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size
- via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client
- can also do 1Mbyte I/O.
- kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased. A console
- message will suggest a setting for it.
-
-d575e81fbcfa:
- gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device
- not present at creation time.
-
-76681661be28:
- Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from
- the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF).
-
-a145cf3f73c7:
- The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4
- supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0,
- for NFSv4 mounts.
- The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default.
