14        Update smartpqi(4) to vendor version 14.4690.0.2008 - 15.2.0.2008
15        for the SmartArray storage controllers.  This adds support for new
16        controllers, adds code that utilizes the new BIG_IOCTL_Command_struct
17        and allows the I/O buffer size for a single passthrough ioctl to be
18        stored as a 32 bit integer instead of the original 16 bit integer.
19
20b0d997095022:
21	The pf firewall now supports passing IPv6 packets to divert(4)
22	sockets via divert-to actions.

288254b0dec02b3, bd55cbb50c588:
29	The mac(4) framework has been extended to support jail operations,
30	allowing a policy to constrain jail creation, modification, removal, and
31	attachment.  Jails have additionally been made a first-class mac(4)
32	object, and a mac.label jail(8) property has been added to facilitate
33	administration of their labels.
34
35c558eca47970:
36	The smartpqi(4) driver was updated to vendor version 4660.0.2002
37	for the SmartArry storage controllers.
38
39493d26c58e73:
40	The aq(4) driver was added, imported from the vendor repository.
41	This provides support for Aquantia / Marvell PCIe 1/2.5/5/10 Gigabit
42	Ethernet adapters (AQC107, AQC108, AQC109, AQC111, AQC112).
43
441a7151f79664:
45	A new CAM provider was added to dtrace.  This enables tracing of I/O
46	requests through the CAM layer without relying on fragile function
47	boundary tracing.  See dtrace_cam(4) for details.
48
49b8c99e7d912f:
50	The tdestroy(3) function was added to libc.  The tdestroy() function
51	destroys a whole search tree, freeing all allocated nodes.
52
534bf8ce037dc8:

64	purposes by setting the <service>_audit_user rc.conf(5) variable.
65
66dcb0790bad43:
67	A setaudit(8) utility was added to the base system.  This provides a
68	simple command-line wrapper for the setaudit(2) and setaudit_addr(2)
69	system calls.
70

93	reboot or shutdown.
94
