@@ -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.
