1Release notes for FreeBSD 14.0. 2 3This file describes new user-visible features, changes and updates relevant to 4users of binary FreeBSD releases. Each entry should describe the change in no 5more than several sentences and should reference manual pages where an 6interested user can find more information. Entries should wrap after 80 7columns. Each entry should begin with one or more commit IDs on one line, 8specified as a comma separated list and/or range, followed by a colon and a 9newline. Entries should be separated by a newline. 10 11Changes to this file should not be MFCed. 12 133cb2f5f369ec: 14 The lua-flavored loader(8) will now interpret .lua files that appear in 15 loader_conf_files as lua, and execute them in a sandbox. Existing 16 loader environment variables are available as globals in the sandbox, 17 and any global variable set, if not a table value, will be reflected in 18 the loader environment upon successful execution of the configuration 19 file. Environment variables with names that aren't valid lua names may 20 be accessed as indices of _ENV; e.g., _ENV['net.fibs']. 21 22bdc81eeda05d: 23 24 nda is now the default nvme device on all platforms. While nda creates 25 nvd links by default so fstab, etc continues to work, configuration 26 should be updated to the new nda devices. 27 28 To restore the old behavior, add hw.nvme.use_nvd=1 to loader.conf or 29 `options NVME_USE_NVD=1` to the kernel config. To disable the nvd 30 compatibility aliases, add kern.cam.nda.nvd_compat=0 to loader.conf. 31 32bbb2d2ce4220: 33 Change pw (hence bsdinstall) not to move /home to /usr/home. 34 Previously, when creating the path to home directories, pw 35 would move any path in the root directory under /usr, creating 36 a symlink in root. In particular, the default /home would become 37 /usr/home. Now /home is at the top level by default. /usr/home 38 can be used explicitly. 39 403416e102c4e9: 41 Remove TI code from armv7 GENERIC kernel. 42 This code doesn't cope with newer DTS and hasn't in a long time so 43 support for TI armv7 platform (like BeagleBone and Pandaboard) is now 44 removed from GENERIC. 45 46d198b8774d2c: 47 Add a new "fwget" utility. 48 The goal of this utility is to inspect the system for peripherals 49 that needs firmware and install the appropriate packages for them. 50 For now only pci subsystem is supported and only firmwares for Intel 51 and AMD GPUs are known. 52 53896516e54a8c: 54 Add a new "syskrb5" mount option for Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts. 55 Without this patch, a Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mount must provide 56 a Kerberos credential for the client at mount time. 57 This patch uses a feature of NFSv4.1/4.2 called SP4_NONE, which 58 allows the state maintenance operations to be performed by any 59 authentication mechanism, so that these operations may be done via 60 AUTH_SYS instead of RPCSEC_GSS (KerberosV). As such, no Kerberos 61 credential is required at mount time. 62 See mount_nfs(8). 63 64330aa8acdec7,ff2f1f691cdb: 65 Adds support for the SP4_MACH_CRED case for the 66 NFSv4.1/4.2 ExchangeID operation since the Linux 67 NFSv4.1/4.2 client is now using this for Kerberized mounts. 68 This change should only affect Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts. 69 The Linux Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts currently work without 70 support for this because Linux will fall back to SP4_NONE, 71 but there is no guarantee this fallback will work forever. 72 737344856e3a6d and many others: 74 Add support so that nfsd(8), nfsuserd(8), mountd(8), gssd(8) 75 and rpc.tlsservd(8) can be run in an appropriately configured 76 vnet prison. The vnet prison must be on its own file system, 77 have the "allow.nfsd" jail parameter set on it and enforce_statfs 78 cannot be set to "0". Use of UDP and pNFS server configurations 79 are not permitted. (ie. The nfsd command line options "-u", "-p" 80 and "-m" are not supported.) 81 See jail(8), nfsd(8) and mountd(8). 82 832fb4f839f3fc,d89513ed2050,3413ee88c39d,f97a19ecb985,021562c5020d,431d2a81d421: 84 sendmail has been updated to the latest upstream version (8.17.1). 85 864a30d7bb373c,d670a8f7c596,af01b4722577,4e240e55d818: 87 The growfs(7) script can now add a swap partition at the end of 88 the expansion area, and does so by default if there is no existing 89 swap. See growfs(7). 90 9186edb11e7491: 92 llvm-objump is now always installed as objdump. 93 94616f32ea6da7: 95 mta_start_script along with othermta rc.d script has been retired. 96 97a67b925ff3e5: 98 The default mail transport agent is now dma(8) replacing sendmail. 99 10022893e584032: 101 L3 filtering on if_bridge will do surprising things which aren't 102 fail-safe, so net.link.bridge.pfil_member and 103 net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge now default to zero. 104 105f0bc4ed144fc: 106 A new DTrace provider, kinst, is introduced and documented in 107 dtrace_kinst(4). The provider allows kernel instructions to be traced, 108 similar to the FBT (function boundary tracing) provider except that all 109 instructions may be probed instead of logical entry and return 110 instructions. The provider is currently amd64-only. 111 1120eea46fb1f83: 113 Removed telnetd. 114 115981ef32230b2,33721eb991d8: 116 These commits make the use of NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts with the "intr" 117 mount option fairly usable, although not 100% correct, so long as 118 the "nolockd" mount option is used as well. See the mount_nfs(8) 119 manual page for more information. 120 121b875d4f5ddcb,0685c73cfe88: 122 The NFSv4.1/4.2 client and server will now generate console messages 123 if sessions are broken, suggesting that users check to ensure 124 that the /etc/hostid strings are unique for all NFSv4.1/4.2 clients. 125 126240afd8c1fcc: 127 makefs(8) has ZFS support; it can create a ZFS pool, backed by a 128 single disk vdev, containing one or more datasets populated from 129 the staging directory. 130 13178ee8d1c4cda,f4f56ff43dbd: 132 The in-tree qat(4) driver has been replaced with Intel's QAT driver. 133 The new version provides additional interfaces to the chipset's 134 cryptographic and compression offload functionality. 135 136 This will have no visible change for most users; however, the new 137 driver does not support Atom C2000 chipsets. To preserve support for 138 those chipsets, the old driver has been renamed to qat_c2xxx and kept 139 in the tree. Users of qat(4) on C2000 hardware will thus need to 140 ensure that qat_c2xxx(4) is loaded instead of qat(4). 141 142da5b7e90e740,5a8fceb3bd9f,7b0a665d72c0,13ec1e3155c7,318d0db5fe8a,1ae2c59bcf21: 143 Boottrace is a new kernel-userspace interface for capturing trace 144 events during system boot and shutdown. Event annotations are 145 present in: 146 147 - The boot and shutdown paths in the kernel 148 - Some key system utilities (init(8), shutdown(8), reboot(8)) 149 - rc(8) scripts (via boottrace(8)) 150 151 In contrast to other existing boot-time tracing facilities like TSLOG, 152 Boottrace focuses on the ease of use and is aimed primarily at system 153 administrators. 154 155 It is available in the default GENERIC kernel and can be enabled by 156 toggling a single sysctl(8) variable. 157 158 See boottrace(4) for more details. 159 16005a1d0f5d7ac: 161 Kernel TLS offload now supports receive-side offload of TLS 1.3. 162 16319dc64451179: 164 if_stf now supports 6rd (RFC5969). 165 166c1d255d3ffdb, 3968b47cd974, bd452dcbede6: 167 Add WiFi 6 support to wpa. 168 169ba48d52ca6c8,4ac3d08a9693,2533eca1c2b9: 170 The default bell tone is now 800Hz. It may be set with kbdcontrol 171 again. There's devd integration for people wishing to use their sound 172 cards for the beep. 173 17492b3e07229ba: 175 net.inet.tcp.nolocaltimewait enabled by default. It prevents 176 creation of timewait entries for TCP connections that were 177 terminated locally. 178 179d410b585b6f0: 180 sh(1) is now the default shell for the root user. 181 182396851c20aeb: 183 libncursesw has been split into libtinfow and libncursesw, linker 184 scripts should make it transparent for consumers. pkg-config files 185 are also now installed to ease ports detecting the ncurses setup from 186 base. 187 188a422084abbda: 189 LLVM's MemorySanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the 190 kmsan(9) manual page for more information. 191 19238da497a4dfc: 193 LLVM's AddressSanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the 194 kasan(9) manual page for more information. 195 196f39dd6a97844,23f24377b1a9,628bd30ab5a4: 197 One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream 198 (20210727). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been 199 either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include: 200 o Locale is no longer used for ranges 201 o Various bugs fixed 202 o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk 203 204 The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that 205 we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and 206 interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one 207 true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic 208 behavior. 209 210 A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart 211 if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator 212 is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14. 213 214ee29e6f31111: 215 Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio 216 that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS 217 server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running. 218 The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size 219 via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client 220 can also do 1Mbyte I/O. 221 kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased. A console 222 message will suggest a setting for it. 223 224d575e81fbcfa: 225 gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device 226 not present at creation time. 227 22876681661be28: 229 Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from 230 the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF). 231 232a145cf3f73c7: 233 The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4 234 supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0, 235 for NFSv4 mounts. 236 The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default. 237
