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 13bdc81eeda05d: 14 15 nda is now the default nvme device on all platforms. While nda creates 16 nvd links by default so fstab, etc continues to work, configuration 17 should be updated to the new nda devices. 18 19 To restore the old behavior, add hw.nvme.use_nvd=1 to loader.conf or 20 `options NVME_USE_NVD=1` to the kernel config. To disable the nvd 21 compatibility aliases, add kern.cam.nda.nvd_compat=0 to loader.conf. 22 23bbb2d2ce4220: 24 Change pw (hence bsdinstall) not to move /home to /usr/home. 25 Previously, when creating the path to home directories, pw 26 would move any path in the root directory under /usr, creating 27 a symlink in root. In particular, the default /home would become 28 /usr/home. Now /home is at the top level by default. /usr/home 29 can be used explicitly. 30 313416e102c4e9: 32 Remove TI code from armv7 GENERIC kernel. 33 This code doesn't cope with newer DTS and hasn't in a long time so 34 support for TI armv7 platform (like BeagleBone and Pandaboard) is now 35 removed from GENERIC. 36 37d198b8774d2c: 38 Add a new "fwget" utility. 39 The goal of this utility is to inspect the system for peripherals 40 that needs firmware and install the appropriate packages for them. 41 For now only pci subsystem is supported and only firmwares for Intel 42 and AMD GPUs are known. 43 44896516e54a8c: 45 Add a new "syskrb5" mount option for Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts. 46 Without this patch, a Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mount must provide 47 a Kerberos credential for the client at mount time. 48 This patch uses a feature of NFSv4.1/4.2 called SP4_NONE, which 49 allows the state maintenance operations to be performed by any 50 authentication mechanism, so that these operations may be done via 51 AUTH_SYS instead of RPCSEC_GSS (KerberosV). As such, no Kerberos 52 credential is required at mount time. 53 See mount_nfs(8). 54 55330aa8acdec7,ff2f1f691cdb: 56 Adds support for the SP4_MACH_CRED case for the 57 NFSv4.1/4.2 ExchangeID operation since the Linux 58 NFSv4.1/4.2 client is now using this for Kerberized mounts. 59 This change should only affect Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts. 60 The Linux Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts currently work without 61 support for this because Linux will fall back to SP4_NONE, 62 but there is no guarantee this fallback will work forever. 63 647344856e3a6d and many others: 65 Add support so that nfsd(8), nfsuserd(8), mountd(8), gssd(8) 66 and rpc.tlsservd(8) can be run in an appropriately configured 67 vnet prison. The vnet prison must be on its own file system, 68 have the "allow.nfsd" jail parameter set on it and enforce_statfs 69 cannot be set to "0". Use of UDP and pNFS server configurations 70 are not permitted. (ie. The nfsd command line options "-u", "-p" 71 and "-m" are not supported.) 72 See jail(8), nfsd(8) and mountd(8). 73 742fb4f839f3fc,d89513ed2050,3413ee88c39d,f97a19ecb985,021562c5020d,431d2a81d421: 75 sendmail has been updated to the latest upstream version (8.17.1). 76 774a30d7bb373c,d670a8f7c596,af01b4722577,4e240e55d818: 78 The growfs(7) script can now add a swap partition at the end of 79 the expansion area, and does so by default if there is no existing 80 swap. See growfs(7). 81 8286edb11e7491: 83 llvm-objump is now always installed as objdump. 84 85616f32ea6da7: 86 mta_start_script along with othermta rc.d script has been retired. 87 88a67b925ff3e5: 89 The default mail transport agent is now dma(8) replacing sendmail. 90 9122893e584032: 92 L3 filtering on if_bridge will do surprising things which aren't 93 fail-safe, so net.link.bridge.pfil_member and 94 net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge now default to zero. 95 96f0bc4ed144fc: 97 A new DTrace provider, kinst, is introduced and documented in 98 dtrace_kinst(4). The provider allows kernel instructions to be traced, 99 similar to the FBT (function boundary tracing) provider except that all 100 instructions may be probed instead of logical entry and return 101 instructions. The provider is currently amd64-only. 102 1030eea46fb1f83: 104 Removed telnetd. 105 106981ef32230b2,33721eb991d8: 107 These commits make the use of NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts with the "intr" 108 mount option fairly usable, although not 100% correct, so long as 109 the "nolockd" mount option is used as well. See the mount_nfs(8) 110 manual page for more information. 111 112b875d4f5ddcb,0685c73cfe88: 113 The NFSv4.1/4.2 client and server will now generate console messages 114 if sessions are broken, suggesting that users check to ensure 115 that the /etc/hostid strings are unique for all NFSv4.1/4.2 clients. 116 117240afd8c1fcc: 118 makefs(8) has ZFS support; it can create a ZFS pool, backed by a 119 single disk vdev, containing one or more datasets populated from 120 the staging directory. 121 12278ee8d1c4cda,f4f56ff43dbd: 123 The in-tree qat(4) driver has been replaced with Intel's QAT driver. 124 The new version provides additional interfaces to the chipset's 125 cryptographic and compression offload functionality. 126 127 This will have no visible change for most users; however, the new 128 driver does not support Atom C2000 chipsets. To preserve support for 129 those chipsets, the old driver has been renamed to qat_c2xxx and kept 130 in the tree. Users of qat(4) on C2000 hardware will thus need to 131 ensure that qat_c2xxx(4) is loaded instead of qat(4). 132 133da5b7e90e740,5a8fceb3bd9f,7b0a665d72c0,13ec1e3155c7,318d0db5fe8a,1ae2c59bcf21: 134 Boottrace is a new kernel-userspace interface for capturing trace 135 events during system boot and shutdown. Event annotations are 136 present in: 137 138 - The boot and shutdown paths in the kernel 139 - Some key system utilities (init(8), shutdown(8), reboot(8)) 140 - rc(8) scripts (via boottrace(8)) 141 142 In contrast to other existing boot-time tracing facilities like TSLOG, 143 Boottrace focuses on the ease of use and is aimed primarily at system 144 administrators. 145 146 It is available in the default GENERIC kernel and can be enabled by 147 toggling a single sysctl(8) variable. 148 149 See boottrace(4) for more details. 150 15105a1d0f5d7ac: 152 Kernel TLS offload now supports receive-side offload of TLS 1.3. 153 15419dc64451179: 155 if_stf now supports 6rd (RFC5969). 156 157c1d255d3ffdb, 3968b47cd974, bd452dcbede6: 158 Add WiFi 6 support to wpa. 159 160ba48d52ca6c8,4ac3d08a9693,2533eca1c2b9: 161 The default bell tone is now 800Hz. It may be set with kbdcontrol 162 again. There's devd integration for people wishing to use their sound 163 cards for the beep. 164 16592b3e07229ba: 166 net.inet.tcp.nolocaltimewait enabled by default. It prevents 167 creation of timewait entries for TCP connections that were 168 terminated locally. 169 170d410b585b6f0: 171 sh(1) is now the default shell for the root user. 172 173396851c20aeb: 174 libncursesw has been split into libtinfow and libncursesw, linker 175 scripts should make it transparent for consumers. pkg-config files 176 are also now installed to ease ports detecting the ncurses setup from 177 base. 178 179a422084abbda: 180 LLVM's MemorySanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the 181 kmsan(9) manual page for more information. 182 18338da497a4dfc: 184 LLVM's AddressSanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the 185 kasan(9) manual page for more information. 186 187f39dd6a97844,23f24377b1a9,628bd30ab5a4: 188 One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream 189 (20210727). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been 190 either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include: 191 o Locale is no longer used for ranges 192 o Various bugs fixed 193 o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk 194 195 The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that 196 we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and 197 interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one 198 true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic 199 behavior. 200 201 A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart 202 if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator 203 is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14. 204 205ee29e6f31111: 206 Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio 207 that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS 208 server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running. 209 The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size 210 via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client 211 can also do 1Mbyte I/O. 212 kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased. A console 213 message will suggest a setting for it. 214 215d575e81fbcfa: 216 gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device 217 not present at creation time. 218 21976681661be28: 220 Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from 221 the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF). 222 223a145cf3f73c7: 224 The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4 225 supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0, 226 for NFSv4 mounts. 227 The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default. 228
