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 13r360562: 14 Remove support for ARC4, Blowfish, Cast, DES, Triple DES, 15 MD5-HMAC, and Skipjack algorithms from /dev/crypto. 16 17r360557: 18 Remove support for DES, Triple DES, Blowfish, Cast, and 19 Camellia ciphers from IPsec(4). Remove support for MD5-HMAC, 20 Keyed MD5, Keyed SHA1, and RIPEMD160-HMAC from IPsec(4). 21 22r359945: 23 Remove support for Triple DES, Blowfish, and MD5 HMAC from 24 geli(4). 25 26r359786-r359787: 27 Remove support for DES, Triple DES, and RC4 from in-kernel GSS 28 authentication. 29 30r357627: 31 remove elf2aout. 32 33r357560-r357565: 34 init(8), service(8), and cron(8) will now adopt user/class environment 35 variables (excluding PATH, by default, which will be overwritten) by 36 default. Notably, environment variables for all cron jobs and rc 37 services can now be set via login.conf(5). 38 39r357455: 40 sparc64 has been removed from FreeBSD. 41 42r355677: 43 Adds support for NFSv4.2 (RFC-7862) and Extended Attributes 44 (RFC-8276) to the NFS client and server. 45 NFSv4.2 is comprised of several optional features that can be supported 46 in addition to NFSv4.1. This patch adds the following optional features: 47 - posix_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED/POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) 48 - posix_fallocate() 49 - intra server file range copying via the copy_file_range(2) syscall 50 --> Avoiding data tranfer over the wire to/from the NFS client. 51 - lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE) 52 - Extended attribute syscalls for "user" namespace attributes as defined 53 by RFC-8276. 54 55 For the client, NFSv4.2 is only used if the mount command line option 56 minorversion=2 is specified. 57 For the server, two new sysctls called vfs.nfsd.server_min_minorversion4 58 and vfs.nfsd.server_max_minorversion4 have been added that allow 59 sysadmins to limit the minor versions of NFSv4 supported by the nfsd 60 server. 61 Setting vfs.nfsd.server_max_minorversion4 to 0 or 1 will disable NFSv4.2 62 on the server. 63 64r356263: 65 armv5 support has been removed from FreeBSD. 66 67r354517: 68 iwm(4) now supports most Intel 9260, 9460 and 9560 Wi-Fi devices. 69 70r354269: 71 sqlite3 is updated to sqlite3-3.30.1. 72 73r352668: 74 cron(8) now supports the -n (suppress mail on succesful run) and -q 75 (suppress logging of command execution) options in the crontab format. 76 See the crontab(5) manpage for details. 77 78r352304: 79 ntpd is no longer by default locked in memory. rlimit memlock 32 80 or rlimit memlock 0 can be used to restore this behaviour. 81 82r351522: 83 Add kernel-side support for in-kernel Transport Layer Security 84 (KTLS). KTLS permits using sendfile(2) over sockets using 85 TLS. 86 87r351397: 88 WPA is updated from 2.8 to 2.9. 89 90r351361: 91 Add probes for lockmgr(9) to the lockstat DTrace provider, add 92 corresponding lockstat(1) events, and document the new probes in 93 dtrace_lockstat.4. 94 95r351356: 96 Intel RST is a new 'feature' that remaps NVMe devices from 97 their normal location to part of the AHCI bar space. This 98 will eliminate the need to set the BIOS SATA setting from RST 99 to AHCI causing the nvme drive to be erased before FreeBSD 100 will see the nvme drive. FreeBSD will now be able to see the 101 nvme drive now in the default config. 102 103r351201, r351372: 104 Add a vop_stdioctl() call, so that file systems that do not support 105 holes will have a trivial implementation of lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE). 106 The algorithm appears to be compatible with the POSIX draft and 107 the implementation in Linux for the case of a file system that 108 does not support holes. Prior to this patch, lseek(2) would reply 109 -1 with errno set to ENOTTY for SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE on files in 110 file systems that do not support holes. 111 r351372 maps ENOTTY to EINVAL for lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE) for 112 any other cases, such as a ENOTTY return from vn_bmap_seekhole(). 113 114r350665: 115 The fuse driver has been renamed to fusefs(5) and been substantially 116 rewritten. The new driver includes many bug fixes and performance 117 enhancements, as well as the following user-visible features: 118 * Optional kernel-side permissions checks (-o default_permissions) 119 * mknod(2), socket(2), and pipe(2) support 120 * server side locking with fcntl(2) 121 * FUSE operations are now interruptible when mounted with -o intr 122 * server side handling of UTIME_NOW during utimensat(2) 123 * mount options may be updated with "mount -u" 124 * fusefs file system may now be exported over NFS 125 * RLIMIT_FSIZE support 126 * support for fuse file systems using protocols as old as 7.4 127 128 FUSE file system developers should also take note of the following new 129 features: 130 * The protocol level has been raised from 7.8 to 7.23 131 * kqueue support on /dev/fuse 132 * server-initiated cache invalidation via FUSE_NOTIFY_REPLY 133 134r350471: 135 gnop(8) can now configure a delay to be applied to read and write 136 request delays. See the -d, -q and -x parameters. 137 138r350315, r350316: 139 Adds a Linux compatible copy_file_range(2) syscall. 140 141r350307: 142 libcap_random(3) has been removed. Applications can use native 143 APIs to get random data in capability mode. 144 145r349529,r349530: 146 Add support for using unmapped mbufs with sendfile(2). 147 148r349352: 149 nand(4) and related components have been removed. 150 151r349349: 152 The UEFI loader now supports HTTP boot. 153 154r349335: 155 bhyve(8) now implements a High Definition Audio (HDA) driver, allowing 156 guests to play to and record audio data from the host. 157 158r349286: 159 swapon(8) can now erase a swap device immediately before enabling it, 160 similar to newfs(8)'s -E option. This behaviour can be specified by 161 adding -E to swapon(8)'s command-line parameters, or by adding the 162 "trimonce" option to a swap device's /etc/fstab entry. 163 164r347908-r347923: 165 The following network drivers have been removed: bm(4), cs(4), de(4), 166 ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), pcn(4), sf(4), sn(4), tl(4), tx(4), txp(4), 167 vx(4), wb(4), xe(4). 168 169$FreeBSD$ 170
