1Release notes for FreeBSD 13.0. 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 13r366267: 14 Kernel option ACPI_DMAR was renamed to IOMMU. amd64's IOMMU subsystem 15 was split out from amd64 DMAR support and is now generic, i.e., it can 16 be used by all architectures. 17 18r364896: 19 A series of commits ending with r364896 added NFS over TLS 20 to the kernel. This is believed to be compatible with 21 the Internet Draft titled "Towards Remote Procedure Call Encryption 22 By Default" (expected to soon become an RFC). 23 The mount_nfs(8) and exports(5) man pages describe the mount and 24 export option(s) related to NFS over TLS. 25 For NFS over TLS to work, the rpctlscd(8) { client } or rpctlssd(8) 26 { server } must be running on a kernel built with "options KERN_TLS" 27 on an architecture where PMAP_HAS_DMAP != 0. 28 29r364725: 30 Changes to one obscure devd event generated on resume need to 31 be documented. The old form will still be generated in 13, but not 32 in 14. 33 34r363679: 35 Applications using regex(3), e.g. sed/grep, will no longer accept 36 redundant escapes for most ordinary characters. 37 38r363253: 39 SCTP support has been removed from GENERIC kernel configurations. 40 The SCTP stack is now built as sctp.ko and can be dynamically loaded. 41 42r363233: 43 Merge sendmail 8.16.1: See contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES for details. 44 45r363180: 46 The safexcel(4) crypto offload driver has been added. 47 48r363084: 49 nc(1) now implements SCTP mode, enabled by specifying the --sctp option. 50 51r362681: 52 A new implementation of bc and dc has been imported. It offers 53 better standards compliance, performance, localization and comes 54 with extensive test cases that are optionally installed. 55 Use WITHOUT_GH_BC=yes to build and install the world with the 56 previous version instead of the new one, if required. 57 58r362158, r362163: 59 struct export_args has changed so that the "user" specified for 60 the -maproot and -mapall exports(5) options may be in more than 61 16 groups. 62 63r361884: 64 sed(1) has learned about hex escapes (e.g. \x27) and will now do the 65 right thing with them, removing the need for printf magic or obnoxious 66 escaping in many scenarios. 67 68r361238, r361798, r361799: 69 ZFS will now unconditionally reject read(2) of a directory with EISDIR. 70 Additionally, read(2) of a directory is now rejected with EISDIR by 71 default and may be re-enabled for non-ZFS filesystems that allow it with 72 the sysctl(8) MIB 'security.bsd.allow_read_dir'. 73 74 Aliases for grep to default to '-d skip' may be desired if commonly 75 non-recursively grepping a list that includes directories and the 76 possibility of EISDIR errors in stderr is not tolerable. Example 77 aliases, commented out, have been installed in /root/.cshrc and 78 /root/.shrc. 79 80r361066: 81 Add exec.prepare and exec.release hooks for jail(8) and jail.conf(5). 82 exec.prepare runs before mounts, so can be used to populate new jails. 83 exec.release runs after unmounts, so can be used to remove ephemeral 84 jails. 85 86r360920,r360923,r360924,r360927,r360928,r360931,r360933,r360936: 87 Remove support for ARC4, Blowfish, Cast, DES, Triple DES, MD5, 88 MD5-KPDK, MD5-HMAC, SHA1-KPDK, and Skipjack algorithms from 89 the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF). 90 91r360562: 92 Remove support for ARC4, Blowfish, Cast, DES, Triple DES, 93 MD5-HMAC, and Skipjack algorithms from /dev/crypto. 94 95r360557: 96 Remove support for DES, Triple DES, Blowfish, Cast, and 97 Camellia ciphers from IPsec(4). Remove support for MD5-HMAC, 98 Keyed MD5, Keyed SHA1, and RIPEMD160-HMAC from IPsec(4). 99 100r359945: 101 Remove support for Triple DES, Blowfish, and MD5 HMAC from 102 geli(4). 103 104r359786-r359787: 105 Remove support for DES, Triple DES, and RC4 from in-kernel GSS 106 authentication. 107 108r357627: 109 remove elf2aout. 110 111r357560-r357565: 112 init(8), service(8), and cron(8) will now adopt user/class environment 113 variables (excluding PATH, by default, which will be overwritten) by 114 default. Notably, environment variables for all cron jobs and rc 115 services can now be set via login.conf(5). 116 117r357455: 118 sparc64 has been removed from FreeBSD. 119 120r355677: 121 Adds support for NFSv4.2 (RFC-7862) and Extended Attributes 122 (RFC-8276) to the NFS client and server. 123 NFSv4.2 is comprised of several optional features that can be supported 124 in addition to NFSv4.1. This patch adds the following optional features: 125 - posix_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED/POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) 126 - posix_fallocate() 127 - intra server file range copying via the copy_file_range(2) syscall 128 --> Avoiding data tranfer over the wire to/from the NFS client. 129 - lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE) 130 - Extended attribute syscalls for "user" namespace attributes as defined 131 by RFC-8276. 132 133 For the client, NFSv4.2 is only used if the mount command line option 134 minorversion=2 is specified. 135 For the server, two new sysctls called vfs.nfsd.server_min_minorversion4 136 and vfs.nfsd.server_max_minorversion4 have been added that allow 137 sysadmins to limit the minor versions of NFSv4 supported by the nfsd 138 server. 139 Setting vfs.nfsd.server_max_minorversion4 to 0 or 1 will disable NFSv4.2 140 on the server. 141 142r356263: 143 armv5 support has been removed from FreeBSD. 144 145r354517: 146 iwm(4) now supports most Intel 9260, 9460 and 9560 Wi-Fi devices. 147 148r354269: 149 sqlite3 is updated to sqlite3-3.30.1. 150 151r352668: 152 cron(8) now supports the -n (suppress mail on succesful run) and -q 153 (suppress logging of command execution) options in the crontab format. 154 See the crontab(5) manpage for details. 155 156r352304: 157 ntpd is no longer by default locked in memory. rlimit memlock 32 158 or rlimit memlock 0 can be used to restore this behaviour. 159 160r351863: 161 rc.subr(8) now honors ${name}_env in all rc(8) scripts. Previously, 162 environment variables set by a user via ${name}_env were ignored 163 if the service defined a custom *_cmd variable to control the behavior 164 of the run_rc_command function, e.g., start_cmd, instead of relying on 165 the variables like command and command_args, 166 167r351770,r352920,r352922,r352923: 168 dd(1) now supports conv=fsync, conv=fdatasync, oflag=fsync, oflag=sync, 169 and iflag=fullblock flags, compatible with illumos and GNU. 170 171r351522: 172 Add kernel-side support for in-kernel Transport Layer Security 173 (KTLS). KTLS permits using sendfile(2) over sockets using 174 TLS. 175 176r351397: 177 WPA is updated from 2.8 to 2.9. 178 179r351361: 180 Add probes for lockmgr(9) to the lockstat DTrace provider, add 181 corresponding lockstat(1) events, and document the new probes in 182 dtrace_lockstat.4. 183 184r351356: 185 Intel RST is a new 'feature' that remaps NVMe devices from 186 their normal location to part of the AHCI bar space. This 187 will eliminate the need to set the BIOS SATA setting from RST 188 to AHCI causing the nvme drive to be erased before FreeBSD 189 will see the nvme drive. FreeBSD will now be able to see the 190 nvme drive now in the default config. 191 192r351201, r351372: 193 Add a vop_stdioctl() call, so that file systems that do not support 194 holes will have a trivial implementation of lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE). 195 The algorithm appears to be compatible with the POSIX draft and 196 the implementation in Linux for the case of a file system that 197 does not support holes. Prior to this patch, lseek(2) would reply 198 -1 with errno set to ENOTTY for SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE on files in 199 file systems that do not support holes. 200 r351372 maps ENOTTY to EINVAL for lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE) for 201 any other cases, such as a ENOTTY return from vn_bmap_seekhole(). 202 203r350665: 204 The fuse driver has been renamed to fusefs(5) and been substantially 205 rewritten. The new driver includes many bug fixes and performance 206 enhancements, as well as the following user-visible features: 207 * Optional kernel-side permissions checks (-o default_permissions) 208 * mknod(2), socket(2), and pipe(2) support 209 * server side locking with fcntl(2) 210 * FUSE operations are now interruptible when mounted with -o intr 211 * server side handling of UTIME_NOW during utimensat(2) 212 * mount options may be updated with "mount -u" 213 * fusefs file system may now be exported over NFS 214 * RLIMIT_FSIZE support 215 * support for fuse file systems using protocols as old as 7.4 216 217 FUSE file system developers should also take note of the following new 218 features: 219 * The protocol level has been raised from 7.8 to 7.23 220 * kqueue support on /dev/fuse 221 * server-initiated cache invalidation via FUSE_NOTIFY_REPLY 222 223r350471: 224 gnop(8) can now configure a delay to be applied to read and write 225 request delays. See the -d, -q and -x parameters. 226 227r350315, r350316: 228 Adds a Linux compatible copy_file_range(2) syscall. 229 230r350307: 231 libcap_random(3) has been removed. Applications can use native 232 APIs to get random data in capability mode. 233 234r349529,r349530: 235 Add support for using unmapped mbufs with sendfile(2). 236 237r349352: 238 nand(4) and related components have been removed. 239 240r349349: 241 The UEFI loader now supports HTTP boot. 242 243r349335: 244 bhyve(8) now implements a High Definition Audio (HDA) driver, allowing 245 guests to play to and record audio data from the host. 246 247r349286: 248 swapon(8) can now erase a swap device immediately before enabling it, 249 similar to newfs(8)'s -E option. This behaviour can be specified by 250 adding -E to swapon(8)'s command-line parameters, or by adding the 251 "trimonce" option to a swap device's /etc/fstab entry. 252 253r347908-r347923: 254 The following network drivers have been removed: bm(4), cs(4), de(4), 255 ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), pcn(4), sf(4), sn(4), tl(4), tx(4), txp(4), 256 vx(4), wb(4), xe(4). 257 258r347532: 259 Wired page accounting has been split into kernel wirings and user 260 wirings (e.g., by mlock(2)). Kernel wirings no long count towards 261 the global limit, which is renamed to vm.max_user_wired. bhyve -S 262 allocates user-wired memory and is now subject to that limit. 263 264$FreeBSD$ 265
