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 13bbb2d2ce4220: 14 Change pw (hence bsdinstall) not to move /home to /usr/home. 15 Previously, when creating the path to home directories, pw 16 would move any path in the root directory under /usr, creating 17 a symlink in root. In particular, the default /home would become 18 /usr/home. Now /home is at the top level by default. /usr/home 19 can be used explicitly. 20 213416e102c4e9: 22 Remove TI code from armv7 GENERIC kernel. 23 This code doesn't cope with newer DTS and hasn't in a long time so 24 support for TI armv7 platform (like BeagleBone and Pandaboard) is now 25 removed from GENERIC. 26 27d198b8774d2c: 28 Add a new "fwget" utility. 29 The goal of this utility is to inspect the system for peripherals 30 that needs firmware and install the appropriate packages for them. 31 For now only pci subsystem is supported and only firmwares for Intel 32 and AMD GPUs are known. 33 34896516e54a8c: 35 Add a new "syskrb5" mount option for Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts. 36 Without this patch, a Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mount must provide 37 a Kerberos credential for the client at mount time. 38 This patch uses a feature of NFSv4.1/4.2 called SP4_NONE, which 39 allows the state maintenance operations to be performed by any 40 authentication mechanism, so that these operations may be done via 41 AUTH_SYS instead of RPCSEC_GSS (KerberosV). As such, no Kerberos 42 credential is required at mount time. 43 See mount_nfs(8). 44 45330aa8acdec7,ff2f1f691cdb: 46 Adds support for the SP4_MACH_CRED case for the 47 NFSv4.1/4.2 ExchangeID operation since the Linux 48 NFSv4.1/4.2 client is now using this for Kerberized mounts. 49 This change should only affect Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts. 50 The Linux Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts currently work without 51 support for this because Linux will fall back to SP4_NONE, 52 but there is no guarantee this fallback will work forever. 53 547344856e3a6d and many others: 55 Add support so that nfsd(8), nfsuserd(8), mountd(8), gssd(8) 56 and rpc.tlsservd(8) can be run in an appropriately configured 57 vnet prison. The vnet prison must be on its own file system, 58 have the "allow.nfsd" jail parameter set on it and enforce_statfs 59 cannot be set to "0". Use of UDP and pNFS server configurations 60 are not permitted. (ie. The nfsd command line options "-u", "-p" 61 and "-m" are not supported.) 62 See jail(8), nfsd(8) and mountd(8). 63 642fb4f839f3fc,d89513ed2050,3413ee88c39d,f97a19ecb985,021562c5020d,431d2a81d421: 65 sendmail has been updated to the latest upstream version (8.17.1). 66 674a30d7bb373c,d670a8f7c596,af01b4722577,4e240e55d818: 68 The growfs(7) script can now add a swap partition at the end of 69 the expansion area, and does so by default if there is no existing 70 swap. See growfs(7). 71 7286edb11e7491: 73 llvm-objump is now always installed as objdump. 74 75616f32ea6da7: 76 mta_start_script along with othermta rc.d script has been retired. 77 78a67b925ff3e5: 79 The default mail transport agent is now dma(8) replacing sendmail. 80 8122893e584032: 82 L3 filtering on if_bridge will do surprising things which aren't 83 fail-safe, so net.link.bridge.pfil_member and 84 net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge now default to zero. 85 86f0bc4ed144fc: 87 A new DTrace provider, kinst, is introduced and documented in 88 dtrace_kinst(4). The provider allows kernel instructions to be traced, 89 similar to the FBT (function boundary tracing) provider except that all 90 instructions may be probed instead of logical entry and return 91 instructions. The provider is currently amd64-only. 92 930eea46fb1f83: 94 Removed telnetd. 95 96981ef32230b2,33721eb991d8: 97 These commits make the use of NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts with the "intr" 98 mount option fairly usable, although not 100% correct, so long as 99 the "nolockd" mount option is used as well. See the mount_nfs(8) 100 manual page for more information. 101 102b875d4f5ddcb,0685c73cfe88: 103 The NFSv4.1/4.2 client and server will now generate console messages 104 if sessions are broken, suggesting that users check to ensure 105 that the /etc/hostid strings are unique for all NFSv4.1/4.2 clients. 106 107240afd8c1fcc: 108 makefs(8) has ZFS support; it can create a ZFS pool, backed by a 109 single disk vdev, containing one or more datasets populated from 110 the staging directory. 111 11278ee8d1c4cda,f4f56ff43dbd: 113 The in-tree qat(4) driver has been replaced with Intel's QAT driver. 114 The new version provides additional interfaces to the chipset's 115 cryptographic and compression offload functionality. 116 117 This will have no visible change for most users; however, the new 118 driver does not support Atom C2000 chipsets. To preserve support for 119 those chipsets, the old driver has been renamed to qat_c2xxx and kept 120 in the tree. Users of qat(4) on C2000 hardware will thus need to 121 ensure that qat_c2xxx(4) is loaded instead of qat(4). 122 123da5b7e90e740,5a8fceb3bd9f,7b0a665d72c0,13ec1e3155c7,318d0db5fe8a,1ae2c59bcf21: 124 Boottrace is a new kernel-userspace interface for capturing trace 125 events during system boot and shutdown. Event annotations are 126 present in: 127 128 - The boot and shutdown paths in the kernel 129 - Some key system utilities (init(8), shutdown(8), reboot(8)) 130 - rc(8) scripts (via boottrace(8)) 131 132 In contrast to other existing boot-time tracing facilities like TSLOG, 133 Boottrace focuses on the ease of use and is aimed primarily at system 134 administrators. 135 136 It is available in the default GENERIC kernel and can be enabled by 137 toggling a single sysctl(8) variable. 138 139 See boottrace(4) for more details. 140 14105a1d0f5d7ac: 142 Kernel TLS offload now supports receive-side offload of TLS 1.3. 143 14419dc64451179: 145 if_stf now supports 6rd (RFC5969). 146 147c1d255d3ffdb, 3968b47cd974, bd452dcbede6: 148 Add WiFi 6 support to wpa. 149 150ba48d52ca6c8,4ac3d08a9693,2533eca1c2b9: 151 The default bell tone is now 800Hz. It may be set with kbdcontrol 152 again. There's devd integration for people wishing to use their sound 153 cards for the beep. 154 15592b3e07229ba: 156 net.inet.tcp.nolocaltimewait enabled by default. It prevents 157 creation of timewait entries for TCP connections that were 158 terminated locally. 159 160d410b585b6f0: 161 sh(1) is now the default shell for the root user. 162 163396851c20aeb: 164 libncursesw has been split into libtinfow and libncursesw, linker 165 scripts should make it transparent for consumers. pkg-config files 166 are also now installed to ease ports detecting the ncurses setup from 167 base. 168 169a422084abbda: 170 LLVM's MemorySanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the 171 kmsan(9) manual page for more information. 172 17338da497a4dfc: 174 LLVM's AddressSanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the 175 kasan(9) manual page for more information. 176 177f39dd6a97844,23f24377b1a9,628bd30ab5a4: 178 One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream 179 (20210727). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been 180 either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include: 181 o Locale is no longer used for ranges 182 o Various bugs fixed 183 o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk 184 185 The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that 186 we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and 187 interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one 188 true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic 189 behavior. 190 191 A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart 192 if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator 193 is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14. 194 195ee29e6f31111: 196 Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio 197 that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS 198 server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running. 199 The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size 200 via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client 201 can also do 1Mbyte I/O. 202 kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased. A console 203 message will suggest a setting for it. 204 205d575e81fbcfa: 206 gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device 207 not present at creation time. 208 20976681661be28: 210 Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from 211 the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF). 212 213a145cf3f73c7: 214 The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4 215 supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0, 216 for NFSv4 mounts. 217 The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default. 218
