Release notes for FreeBSD 14.0.
This file describes new user-visible features, changes and updates relevant to
users of binary FreeBSD releases. Each entry should describe the change in no
more than several sentences and should reference manual pages where an
interested user can find more information. Entries should wrap after 80
columns. Each entry should begin with one or more commit IDs on one line,
specified as a comma separated list and/or range, followed by a colon and a
newline. Entries should be separated by a newline.
Changes to this file should not be MFCed.
various:
One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream
(20210215). 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.
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.

2021-04-12 22:12:19 +00:00
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.
