AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
allows us to change the uart(4) driver to not hardcode specific line
settings for the serial console.
A terminal type of 3wire makes sure the console still works when no DCD
signal is present, which preserves behviour. When it is known that the
terminal server (or DCE in general) provides DCD, a terminal type/class
of std can be used. This has the effect of being logged out when one
disconnects from the console -- improving security overall.
Likewise, when uart(4) does not fixate the baudrate, one can change
the terminal type/class to set a specific baudrate. An operator can use
this to change the console speed mid-flight, without needing a reboot.
Of course it helps in this respect if and when the firmware can be
configured from the OS.
The above mentioned capabilities depend on uart(4) being changed, which
is to happen next.
the existing terminal types/classes that have the baudrate suffix,
but differ in that no baudrate is set/defined.
The purpose of these new types/classes is to allow them to be used
for the serial console. Currently the uart(4) driver fixates the
baudrate and the CLOCAL flag, which means that it doesn't matter
whether you give it std.<baud> or 3wire.<baud> as the terminal type
to getty and what exactly <baud> is set to. It's being overridden
by uart(4). The goal is to change uart(4) not to override these
settings.

It accepts mails from locally installed Mail User Agents (MUA) and delivers the

The code generator's performance is greatly increased, and the loop
auto-vectorizer is now enabled at -Os and -O2 in addition to -O3. The
PowerPC backend has made several major improvements to code generation
quality and compile time, and the X86, SPARC, ARM32, Aarch64 and SystemZ
backends have all seen major feature work.

does. This is necessary because the tests assume such layout to find the

The new default restrictions would allow only time queries from a

These restrictions are also recommended for all Internet-facing

Promoting the SIGINFO handler's log message from LOG_INFO to
LOG_NOTICE, and promoting the "Processing event ..." message from
LOG_DEBUG to LOG_INFO. Setting the logfile to LOG_NOTICE with this
change will have the same result as setting it to LOG_INFO without
this change. Setting it to LOG_INFO with this change will include
the useful "Processing event ..." messages that were previously at
LOG_DEBUG, without including useless messages like "Pushing table".
The intent of this change is that one can log "Processing event ..."
without logging "Pushing table" and related messages that are sent
for every event. The number of lines actually logged is reduced by
about 75% by making this change and setting syslog to LOG_INFO vs
setting syslog to LOG_DEBUG.

This change is a proof of concept on how to easily integrate existing
tests from the tools/regression/ hierarchy into the /usr/tests/ test
suite and on how to adapt them to the new layout for src.
To achieve these goals, this change:
- Moves tests from tools/regression/bin/<tool>/ to bin/<tool>/tests/.
- Renames the previous regress.sh files to legacy_test.sh.
- Adds Makefiles to build and install the tests and all their supporting
data files into /usr/tests/bin/.
- Plugs the legacy_test test programs into the test suite using the new
TAP backend for Kyua (appearing in 0.8) so that the code of the test
programs does not have to change.
- Registers the new directories in the BSD.test.dist mtree file.

Since performance considerations make it infeasible to automatically detect

This change adds some sample test cases to share/examples/tests/
demonstrating the basic usage of the atf and plain interfaces.
These test programs are fully-functional and are installed as part
of the test suite, which guarantees that the sample code remains
correct. However, they currently mostly serve as a placeholder for
additional examples and may be incomplete (depending on how you
look at them). I will see what else can be useful while working on
documentation.
As a bonus, the addition of these tests exercise the *.test.mk files,
one of which (plain.test.mk) was not yet in use, and also demonstrates
that it's possible to mix different kinds of test programs into the
same test suite.
