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 13r359945: 14 Remove support for Triple DES, Blowfish, and MD5 HMAC from 15 geli(4). 16 17r359786-r359787: 18 Remove support for DES, Triple DES, and RC4 from in-kernel GSS 19 authentication. 20 21r357627: 22 remove elf2aout. 23 24r357560-r357565: 25 init(8), service(8), and cron(8) will now adopt user/class environment 26 variables (excluding PATH, by default, which will be overwritten) by 27 default. Notably, environment variables for all cron jobs and rc 28 services can now be set via login.conf(5). 29 30r357455: 31 sparc64 has been removed from FreeBSD. 32 33r355677: 34 Adds support for NFSv4.2 (RFC-7862) and Extended Attributes 35 (RFC-8276) to the NFS client and server. 36 NFSv4.2 is comprised of several optional features that can be supported 37 in addition to NFSv4.1. This patch adds the following optional features: 38 - posix_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED/POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) 39 - posix_fallocate() 40 - intra server file range copying via the copy_file_range(2) syscall 41 --> Avoiding data tranfer over the wire to/from the NFS client. 42 - lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE) 43 - Extended attribute syscalls for "user" namespace attributes as defined 44 by RFC-8276. 45 46 For the client, NFSv4.2 is only used if the mount command line option 47 minorversion=2 is specified. 48 For the server, two new sysctls called vfs.nfsd.server_min_minorversion4 49 and vfs.nfsd.server_max_minorversion4 have been added that allow 50 sysadmins to limit the minor versions of NFSv4 supported by the nfsd 51 server. 52 Setting vfs.nfsd.server_max_minorversion4 to 0 or 1 will disable NFSv4.2 53 on the server. 54 55r356263: 56 armv5 support has been removed from FreeBSD. 57 58r354517: 59 iwm(4) now supports most Intel 9260, 9460 and 9560 Wi-Fi devices. 60 61r354269: 62 sqlite3 is updated to sqlite3-3.30.1. 63 64r352668: 65 cron(8) now supports the -n (suppress mail on succesful run) and -q 66 (suppress logging of command execution) options in the crontab format. 67 See the crontab(5) manpage for details. 68 69r352304: 70 ntpd is no longer by default locked in memory. rlimit memlock 32 71 or rlimit memlock 0 can be used to restore this behaviour. 72 73r351522: 74 Add kernel-side support for in-kernel Transport Layer Security 75 (KTLS). KTLS permits using sendfile(2) over sockets using 76 TLS. 77 78r351397: 79 WPA is updated from 2.8 to 2.9. 80 81r351361: 82 Add probes for lockmgr(9) to the lockstat DTrace provider, add 83 corresponding lockstat(1) events, and document the new probes in 84 dtrace_lockstat.4. 85 86r351356: 87 Intel RST is a new 'feature' that remaps NVMe devices from 88 their normal location to part of the AHCI bar space. This 89 will eliminate the need to set the BIOS SATA setting from RST 90 to AHCI causing the nvme drive to be erased before FreeBSD 91 will see the nvme drive. FreeBSD will now be able to see the 92 nvme drive now in the default config. 93 94r351201, r351372: 95 Add a vop_stdioctl() call, so that file systems that do not support 96 holes will have a trivial implementation of lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE). 97 The algorithm appears to be compatible with the POSIX draft and 98 the implementation in Linux for the case of a file system that 99 does not support holes. Prior to this patch, lseek(2) would reply 100 -1 with errno set to ENOTTY for SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE on files in 101 file systems that do not support holes. 102 r351372 maps ENOTTY to EINVAL for lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE) for 103 any other cases, such as a ENOTTY return from vn_bmap_seekhole(). 104 105r350665: 106 The fuse driver has been renamed to fusefs(5) and been substantially 107 rewritten. The new driver includes many bug fixes and performance 108 enhancements, as well as the following user-visible features: 109 * Optional kernel-side permissions checks (-o default_permissions) 110 * mknod(2), socket(2), and pipe(2) support 111 * server side locking with fcntl(2) 112 * FUSE operations are now interruptible when mounted with -o intr 113 * server side handling of UTIME_NOW during utimensat(2) 114 * mount options may be updated with "mount -u" 115 * fusefs file system may now be exported over NFS 116 * RLIMIT_FSIZE support 117 * support for fuse file systems using protocols as old as 7.4 118 119 FUSE file system developers should also take note of the following new 120 features: 121 * The protocol level has been raised from 7.8 to 7.23 122 * kqueue support on /dev/fuse 123 * server-initiated cache invalidation via FUSE_NOTIFY_REPLY 124 125r350471: 126 gnop(8) can now configure a delay to be applied to read and write 127 request delays. See the -d, -q and -x parameters. 128 129r350315, r350316: 130 Adds a Linux compatible copy_file_range(2) syscall. 131 132r350307: 133 libcap_random(3) has been removed. Applications can use native 134 APIs to get random data in capability mode. 135 136r349529,r349530: 137 Add support for using unmapped mbufs with sendfile(2). 138 139r349352: 140 nand(4) and related components have been removed. 141 142r349349: 143 The UEFI loader now supports HTTP boot. 144 145r349335: 146 bhyve(8) now implements a High Definition Audio (HDA) driver, allowing 147 guests to play to and record audio data from the host. 148 149r349286: 150 swapon(8) can now erase a swap device immediately before enabling it, 151 similar to newfs(8)'s -E option. This behaviour can be specified by 152 adding -E to swapon(8)'s command-line parameters, or by adding the 153 "trimonce" option to a swap device's /etc/fstab entry. 154 155r347908-r347923: 156 The following network drivers have been removed: bm(4), cs(4), de(4), 157 ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), pcn(4), sf(4), sn(4), tl(4), tx(4), txp(4), 158 vx(4), wb(4), xe(4). 159 160$FreeBSD$ 161
