vt(4) is a new console driver which brings features such as:
o Support for Unicode and double-width characters
o Integration with the KMS kernel video drivers
o Support for UEFI
You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf, most
probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will indicate what
you need to do.
vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to syscons(4).
See the wiki for up-to-date information:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
If you want to keep using syscons(4), you can do so by adding the
following line to /boot/loader.conf:

workaround. Magic ".../share/mk" (search directories up to /)
does not work for f.e. /usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc because the path
inside is starting from /usr/obj hierarchy and ends up in
/usr/share/mk, not in the /usr/src/share/mk where src.opts.mk is.
IMHO proper fixing of incremental build is needed urgently.
In r266650, we made libatf-c and libatf-c++ private libraries so that no
components outside of the source tree could unintendedly depend on them.
This change does the same for the "atf-sh library" by moving the atf-sh
interpreter from its public location in /usr/bin/ to the private location
in /usr/libexec/. Our build system will ensure that our own test programs
use the right binary, but users won't be able to depend on atf-sh by
"mistake".
Committing this now to ride the UPDATING notice added with r267172 today.
The libatf-* major version numbers in FreeBSD were one version ahead of
upstream because, when atf was first imported into FreeBSD, the upstream
numbers were not respected. This is just confusing and bound to cause
problems down the road.
Fix this by taking advantage of the fact that libatf-* are now private
and that atf is not yet built by default. However, and unfortunately, a
clean build is needed for tests to continue working once "make
delete-old-libs" has been run; hence the note in UPDATING.

versions. With its movement to src.opts.mk, bsd.prog.mk was testing
COMPILER_TYPE without including the bsd.compiler.mk anymore. In the
source tree, this caused no problems, for reasons that aren't clear,
but does cause problems outside of the source tree. Allow
bsd.compiler.mk to be included multiple times safely, and always
include bsd.compiler.mk at the top of bsd.prog.mk. Resist the urge to
put it in bsd.init.mk, since that would reintroduce the implicit
include.
lindev(4) was only used to provide /dev/full which is now a standard feature of
FreeBSD. /dev/full was never linux-specific and provides a generally useful
feature.
Document this in UPDATING and bump __FreeBSD_version. This will be documented
in the PH shortly.

add it in kern.mk, but only if we're using clang. While this
option is supported by both clang and gcc, in the future there
may be changes to clang which change the defaults that require
a tweak to build our kernel such that other tools in our tree
will work. Set a good example by forcing -gdwarf-2 only for
clang builds, and only if the user hasn't specified another
dwarf level already. Update UPDATING to reflect the changed
state of affairs. This also keeps us from having to update
all the ARM kernels to add this, and also keeps us from
in the future having to update all the MIPS kernels and is
one less place the user will have to know to do something
special for clang and one less thing developers will need
to do when moving an architecture to clang.
