14*5aeb2600SBaptiste Daroussin	libncursesw has been split into libtinfow and libncursesw, linker
15*5aeb2600SBaptiste Daroussin	scripts should make it transparent for consumers. pkg-config files
16*5aeb2600SBaptiste Daroussin	are also now installed to ease ports detecting the ncurses setup from
17*5aeb2600SBaptiste Daroussin	base.

2859b83c47SWarner Losh	One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream
29818edf67SWarner Losh	(20210727). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been
3059b83c47SWarner Losh	either up streamed or discarded.  Notable changes include:
3159b83c47SWarner Losh		o Locale is no longer used for ranges
3259b83c47SWarner Losh		o Various bugs fixed
3359b83c47SWarner Losh		o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk
3459b83c47SWarner Losh
3559b83c47SWarner Losh	The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that
3659b83c47SWarner Losh	we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and
3759b83c47SWarner Losh	interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one
3859b83c47SWarner Losh	true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic
3959b83c47SWarner Losh	behavior.
4059b83c47SWarner Losh
41818edf67SWarner Losh	A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart
42818edf67SWarner Losh	if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator
43818edf67SWarner Losh	is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14.

45cda1f88dSWarner Loshee29e6f31111:
46be7c6470SRick Macklem	Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio
47be7c6470SRick Macklem	that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS
48be7c6470SRick Macklem	server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running.
49be7c6470SRick Macklem	The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size
50be7c6470SRick Macklem	via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client
51be7c6470SRick Macklem	can also do 1Mbyte I/O.
52be7c6470SRick Macklem	kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased.  A console
53be7c6470SRick Macklem	message will suggest a setting for it.

55cda1f88dSWarner Loshd575e81fbcfa:
56df4e9787SWarner Losh	gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device
57df4e9787SWarner Losh	not present at creation time.

59cda1f88dSWarner Losh76681661be28:
601f64f32aSJohn Baldwin	Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from
6106cdfe2dSJohn Baldwin	the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF).
62b49ba74dSRick Macklem
63cda1f88dSWarner Losha145cf3f73c7:
64b49ba74dSRick Macklem	The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4
65b49ba74dSRick Macklem	supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0,
66b49ba74dSRick Macklem	for NFSv4 mounts.
67b49ba74dSRick Macklem	The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default.
