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 130eea46fb1f83: 14 Removed telnetd. 15 16981ef32230b2,33721eb991d8: 17 These commits make the use of NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts with the "intr" 18 mount option fairly usable, although not 100% correct, so long as 19 the "nolockd" mount option is used as well. See the mount_nfs(8) 20 manual page for more information. 21 22b875d4f5ddcb,0685c73cfe88: 23 The NFSv4.1/4.2 client and server will now generate console messages 24 if sessions are broken, suggesting that users check to ensure 25 that the /etc/hostid strings are unique for all NFSv4.1/4.2 clients. 26 27240afd8c1fcc: 28 makefs(8) has ZFS support; it can create a ZFS pool, backed by a 29 single disk vdev, containing one or more datasets populated from 30 the staging directory. 31 3278ee8d1c4cda,f4f56ff43dbd: 33 The in-tree qat(4) driver has been replaced with Intel's QAT driver. 34 The new version provides additional interfaces to the chipset's 35 cryptographic and compression offload functionality. 36 37 This will have no visible change for most users; however, the new 38 driver does not support Atom C2000 chipsets. To preserve support for 39 those chipsets, the old driver has been renamed to qat_c2xxx and kept 40 in the tree. Users of qat(4) on C2000 hardware will thus need to 41 ensure that qat_c2xxx(4) is loaded instead of qat(4). 42 43da5b7e90e740,5a8fceb3bd9f,7b0a665d72c0,13ec1e3155c7,318d0db5fe8a,1ae2c59bcf21: 44 Boottrace is a new kernel-userspace interface for capturing trace 45 events during system boot and shutdown. Event annotations are 46 present in: 47 48 - The boot and shutdown paths in the kernel 49 - Some key system utilities (init(8), shutdown(8), reboot(8)) 50 - rc(8) scripts (via boottrace(8)) 51 52 In contrast to other existing boot-time tracing facilities like TSLOG, 53 Boottrace focuses on the ease of use and is aimed primarily at system 54 administrators. 55 56 It is available in the default GENERIC kernel and can be enabled by 57 toggling a single sysctl(8) variable. 58 59 See boottrace(4) for more details. 60 6105a1d0f5d7ac: 62 Kernel TLS offload now supports receive-side offload of TLS 1.3. 63 6419dc64451179: 65 if_stf now supports 6rd (RFC5969). 66 67c1d255d3ffdb, 3968b47cd974, bd452dcbede6: 68 Add WiFi 6 support to wpa. 69 70ba48d52ca6c8,4ac3d08a9693,2533eca1c2b9: 71 The default bell tone is now 800Hz. It may be set with kbdcontrol 72 again. There's devd integration for people wishing to use their sound 73 cards for the beep. 74 7592b3e07229ba: 76 net.inet.tcp.nolocaltimewait enabled by default. It prevents 77 creation of timewait entries for TCP connections that were 78 terminated locally. 79 80d410b585b6f0: 81 sh(1) is now the default shell for the root user. 82 83396851c20aeb: 84 libncursesw has been split into libtinfow and libncursesw, linker 85 scripts should make it transparent for consumers. pkg-config files 86 are also now installed to ease ports detecting the ncurses setup from 87 base. 88 89a422084abbda: 90 LLVM's MemorySanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the 91 kmsan(9) manual page for more information. 92 9338da497a4dfc: 94 LLVM's AddressSanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the 95 kasan(9) manual page for more information. 96 97f39dd6a97844,23f24377b1a9,628bd30ab5a4: 98 One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream 99 (20210727). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been 100 either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include: 101 o Locale is no longer used for ranges 102 o Various bugs fixed 103 o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk 104 105 The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that 106 we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and 107 interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one 108 true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic 109 behavior. 110 111 A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart 112 if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator 113 is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14. 114 115ee29e6f31111: 116 Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio 117 that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS 118 server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running. 119 The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size 120 via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client 121 can also do 1Mbyte I/O. 122 kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased. A console 123 message will suggest a setting for it. 124 125d575e81fbcfa: 126 gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device 127 not present at creation time. 128 12976681661be28: 130 Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from 131 the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF). 132 133a145cf3f73c7: 134 The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4 135 supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0, 136 for NFSv4 mounts. 137 The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default. 138
