@ -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.
