All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been 16 either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include: 17 o Locale is no longer used for ranges 18 o Various bugs fixed 19 o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk 20 21 The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that 22 we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and 23 interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one 24 true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic 25 behavior. 26 27 A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart 28 if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator 29 is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14. 30 31ee29e6f31111: 32 Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio 33 that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS 34 server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running. 35 The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size 36 via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client 37 can also do 1Mbyte I/O. 38 kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased. A console 39 message will suggest a setting for it. 40 41d575e81fbcfa: 42 gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device 43 not present at creation time. 44 4576681661be28: 46 Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from 47 the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF). 48 49a145cf3f73c7: 50 The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4 51 supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0, 52 for NFSv4 mounts. 53 The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default. 54
