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.

13896516e54a8c
14	Add a new "syskrb5" mount option for Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts.
15	Without this patch, a Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mount must provide
16	a Kerberos credential for the client at mount time.
17	This patch uses a feature of NFSv4.1/4.2 called SP4_NONE, which
18	allows the state maintenance operations to be performed by any
19	authentication mechanism, so that these operations may be done via
20	AUTH_SYS instead of RPCSEC_GSS (KerberosV).  As such, no Kerberos
21	credential is required at mount time.
22	See mount_nfs(8).
23
24330aa8acdec7,ff2f1f691cdb
25	Adds support for the SP4_MACH_CRED case for the
26	NFSv4.1/4.2 ExchangeID operation since the Linux
27	NFSv4.1/4.2 client is now using this for Kerberized mounts.
28	This change should only affect Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts.
29	The Linux Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts currently work without
30	support for this because Linux will fall back to SP4_NONE,
31	but there is no guarantee this fallback will work forever.
32
337344856e3a6d and many others:
34	Add support so that nfsd(8), nfsuserd(8), mountd(8), gssd(8)
35	and rpc.tlsservd(8) can be run in an appropriately configured
36	vnet prison.  The vnet prison must be on its own file system,
37	have the "allow.nfsd" jail parameter set on it and enforce_statfs
38	cannot be set to "0".  Use of UDP and pNFS server configurations
39	are not permitted.  (ie. The nfsd command line options "-u", "-p"
40	and "-m" are not supported.)
41	See jail(8), nfsd(8) and mountd(8).
42
432fb4f839f3fc,d89513ed2050,3413ee88c39d,f97a19ecb985,021562c5020d,431d2a81d421:
44	sendmail has been updated to the latest upstream version (8.17.1).
45
464a30d7bb373c,d670a8f7c596,af01b4722577,4e240e55d818:
47	The growfs(7) script can now add a swap partition at the end of
48	the expansion area, and does so by default if there is no existing
49	swap.  See growfs(7).
50
5186edb11e7491:
52	llvm-objump is now always installed as objdump.
53
54616f32ea6da7:
55	mta_start_script along with othermta rc.d script has been retired.
56
57a67b925ff3e5:
58	The default mail transport agent is now dma(8) replacing sendmail.
59
6022893e584032:
61	L3 filtering on if_bridge will do surprising things which aren't
62	fail-safe, so net.link.bridge.pfil_member and
63	net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge now default to zero.
64
65f0bc4ed144fc:
66	A new DTrace provider, kinst, is introduced and documented in
67	dtrace_kinst(4).  The provider allows kernel instructions to be traced,
68	similar to the FBT (function boundary tracing) provider except that all
69	instructions may be probed instead of logical entry and return
70	instructions.  The provider is currently amd64-only.
71
720eea46fb1f83:
73	Removed telnetd.
74
75981ef32230b2,33721eb991d8:
76	These commits make the use of NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts with the "intr"
77	mount option fairly usable, although not 100% correct, so long as
78	the "nolockd" mount option is used as well.  See the mount_nfs(8)
79	manual page for more information.
80
81b875d4f5ddcb,0685c73cfe88:
82	The NFSv4.1/4.2 client and server will now generate console messages
83	if sessions are broken, suggesting that users check to ensure
84	that the /etc/hostid strings are unique for all NFSv4.1/4.2 clients.
85
86240afd8c1fcc:
87	makefs(8) has ZFS support; it can create a ZFS pool, backed by a
88	single disk vdev, containing one or more datasets populated from
89	the staging directory.
90
9178ee8d1c4cda,f4f56ff43dbd:
92	The in-tree qat(4) driver has been replaced with Intel's QAT driver.
93	The new version provides additional interfaces to the chipset's
94	cryptographic and compression offload functionality.
95
96	This will have no visible change for most users; however, the new
97	driver does not support Atom C2000 chipsets.  To preserve support for
98	those chipsets, the old driver has been renamed to qat_c2xxx and kept
99	in the tree.  Users of qat(4) on C2000 hardware will thus need to
100	ensure that qat_c2xxx(4) is loaded instead of qat(4).
101
102da5b7e90e740,5a8fceb3bd9f,7b0a665d72c0,13ec1e3155c7,318d0db5fe8a,1ae2c59bcf21:
103	Boottrace is a new kernel-userspace interface for capturing trace
104	events during system boot and shutdown. Event annotations are
105	present in:
106
107	- The boot and shutdown paths in the kernel
108	- Some key system utilities (init(8), shutdown(8), reboot(8))
109	- rc(8) scripts (via boottrace(8))
110
111	In contrast to other existing boot-time tracing facilities like TSLOG,
112	Boottrace focuses on the ease of use and is aimed primarily at system
113	administrators.
114
115	It is available in the default GENERIC kernel and can be enabled by
116	toggling a single sysctl(8) variable.
117
118	See boottrace(4) for more details.
119
12005a1d0f5d7ac:
121	Kernel TLS offload now supports receive-side offload of TLS 1.3.
122
12319dc64451179:
124	if_stf now supports 6rd (RFC5969).
125
126c1d255d3ffdb, 3968b47cd974, bd452dcbede6:
127	Add WiFi 6 support to wpa.
128
129ba48d52ca6c8,4ac3d08a9693,2533eca1c2b9:
130	The default bell tone is now 800Hz. It may be set with kbdcontrol
131	again. There's devd integration for people wishing to use their sound
132	cards for the beep.
133
13492b3e07229ba:
135	net.inet.tcp.nolocaltimewait enabled by default.  It prevents
136	creation of timewait entries for TCP connections that were
137	terminated locally.
138
139d410b585b6f0:
140	sh(1) is now the default shell for the root user.
141
142396851c20aeb:
143	libncursesw has been split into libtinfow and libncursesw, linker
144	scripts should make it transparent for consumers. pkg-config files
145	are also now installed to ease ports detecting the ncurses setup from
146	base.
147
148a422084abbda:
149	LLVM's MemorySanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels.  See the
150	kmsan(9) manual page for more information.
151
15238da497a4dfc:
153	LLVM's AddressSanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels.  See the
154	kasan(9) manual page for more information.
155
156f39dd6a97844,23f24377b1a9,628bd30ab5a4:
157	One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream
158	(20210727). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been
159	either up streamed or discarded.  Notable changes include:
160		o Locale is no longer used for ranges
161		o Various bugs fixed
162		o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk
163
164	The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that
165	we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and
166	interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one
167	true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic
168	behavior.
169
170	A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart
171	if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator
172	is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14.
173
174ee29e6f31111:
175	Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio
176	that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS
177	server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running.
178	The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size
179	via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client
180	can also do 1Mbyte I/O.
181	kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased.  A console
182	message will suggest a setting for it.
183
184d575e81fbcfa:
185	gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device
186	not present at creation time.
187
18876681661be28:
189	Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from
190	the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF).
191
192a145cf3f73c7:
193	The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4
194	supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0,
195	for NFSv4 mounts.
196	The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default.
197
