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.

21f39dd6a97844,23f24377b1a9,628bd30ab5a4:
22	One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream
23	(20210727). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been
24	either up streamed or discarded.  Notable changes include:
25		o Locale is no longer used for ranges
26		o Various bugs fixed
27		o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk
28
29	The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that
30	we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and
31	interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one
32	true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic
33	behavior.
34
35	A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart
36	if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator
37	is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14.
38
39ee29e6f31111:
40	Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio
41	that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS
42	server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running.
43	The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size
44	via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client
45	can also do 1Mbyte I/O.
46	kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased.  A console
47	message will suggest a setting for it.
48
49d575e81fbcfa:
50	gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device
51	not present at creation time.
52
5376681661be28:
54	Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from
55	the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF).
56
57a145cf3f73c7:
58	The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4
59	supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0,
60	for NFSv4 mounts.
61	The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default.
