|
|
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.

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.
