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 13d198b8774d2c 14 Add a new "fwget" utility. 15 The goal of this utility is to inspect the system for peripherals 16 that needs firmware and install the appropriate packages for them. 17 For now only pci subsystem is supported and only firmwares for Intel 18 and AMD GPUs are known. 19 20896516e54a8c 21 Add a new "syskrb5" mount option for Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts. 22 Without this patch, a Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mount must provide 23 a Kerberos credential for the client at mount time. 24 This patch uses a feature of NFSv4.1/4.2 called SP4_NONE, which 25 allows the state maintenance operations to be performed by any 26 authentication mechanism, so that these operations may be done via 27 AUTH_SYS instead of RPCSEC_GSS (KerberosV). As such, no Kerberos 28 credential is required at mount time. 29 See mount_nfs(8). 30 31330aa8acdec7,ff2f1f691cdb 32 Adds support for the SP4_MACH_CRED case for the 33 NFSv4.1/4.2 ExchangeID operation since the Linux 34 NFSv4.1/4.2 client is now using this for Kerberized mounts. 35 This change should only affect Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts. 36 The Linux Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts currently work without 37 support for this because Linux will fall back to SP4_NONE, 38 but there is no guarantee this fallback will work forever. 39 407344856e3a6d and many others: 41 Add support so that nfsd(8), nfsuserd(8), mountd(8), gssd(8) 42 and rpc.tlsservd(8) can be run in an appropriately configured 43 vnet prison. The vnet prison must be on its own file system, 44 have the "allow.nfsd" jail parameter set on it and enforce_statfs 45 cannot be set to "0". Use of UDP and pNFS server configurations 46 are not permitted. (ie. The nfsd command line options "-u", "-p" 47 and "-m" are not supported.) 48 See jail(8), nfsd(8) and mountd(8). 49 502fb4f839f3fc,d89513ed2050,3413ee88c39d,f97a19ecb985,021562c5020d,431d2a81d421: 51 sendmail has been updated to the latest upstream version (8.17.1). 52 534a30d7bb373c,d670a8f7c596,af01b4722577,4e240e55d818: 54 The growfs(7) script can now add a swap partition at the end of 55 the expansion area, and does so by default if there is no existing 56 swap. See growfs(7). 57 5886edb11e7491: 59 llvm-objump is now always installed as objdump. 60 61616f32ea6da7: 62 mta_start_script along with othermta rc.d script has been retired. 63 64a67b925ff3e5: 65 The default mail transport agent is now dma(8) replacing sendmail. 66 6722893e584032: 68 L3 filtering on if_bridge will do surprising things which aren't 69 fail-safe, so net.link.bridge.pfil_member and 70 net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge now default to zero. 71 72f0bc4ed144fc: 73 A new DTrace provider, kinst, is introduced and documented in 74 dtrace_kinst(4). The provider allows kernel instructions to be traced, 75 similar to the FBT (function boundary tracing) provider except that all 76 instructions may be probed instead of logical entry and return 77 instructions. The provider is currently amd64-only. 78 790eea46fb1f83: 80 Removed telnetd. 81 82981ef32230b2,33721eb991d8: 83 These commits make the use of NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts with the "intr" 84 mount option fairly usable, although not 100% correct, so long as 85 the "nolockd" mount option is used as well. See the mount_nfs(8) 86 manual page for more information. 87 88b875d4f5ddcb,0685c73cfe88: 89 The NFSv4.1/4.2 client and server will now generate console messages 90 if sessions are broken, suggesting that users check to ensure 91 that the /etc/hostid strings are unique for all NFSv4.1/4.2 clients. 92 93240afd8c1fcc: 94 makefs(8) has ZFS support; it can create a ZFS pool, backed by a 95 single disk vdev, containing one or more datasets populated from 96 the staging directory. 97 9878ee8d1c4cda,f4f56ff43dbd: 99 The in-tree qat(4) driver has been replaced with Intel's QAT driver. 100 The new version provides additional interfaces to the chipset's 101 cryptographic and compression offload functionality. 102 103 This will have no visible change for most users; however, the new 104 driver does not support Atom C2000 chipsets. To preserve support for 105 those chipsets, the old driver has been renamed to qat_c2xxx and kept 106 in the tree. Users of qat(4) on C2000 hardware will thus need to 107 ensure that qat_c2xxx(4) is loaded instead of qat(4). 108 109da5b7e90e740,5a8fceb3bd9f,7b0a665d72c0,13ec1e3155c7,318d0db5fe8a,1ae2c59bcf21: 110 Boottrace is a new kernel-userspace interface for capturing trace 111 events during system boot and shutdown. Event annotations are 112 present in: 113 114 - The boot and shutdown paths in the kernel 115 - Some key system utilities (init(8), shutdown(8), reboot(8)) 116 - rc(8) scripts (via boottrace(8)) 117 118 In contrast to other existing boot-time tracing facilities like TSLOG, 119 Boottrace focuses on the ease of use and is aimed primarily at system 120 administrators. 121 122 It is available in the default GENERIC kernel and can be enabled by 123 toggling a single sysctl(8) variable. 124 125 See boottrace(4) for more details. 126 12705a1d0f5d7ac: 128 Kernel TLS offload now supports receive-side offload of TLS 1.3. 129 13019dc64451179: 131 if_stf now supports 6rd (RFC5969). 132 133c1d255d3ffdb, 3968b47cd974, bd452dcbede6: 134 Add WiFi 6 support to wpa. 135 136ba48d52ca6c8,4ac3d08a9693,2533eca1c2b9: 137 The default bell tone is now 800Hz. It may be set with kbdcontrol 138 again. There's devd integration for people wishing to use their sound 139 cards for the beep. 140 14192b3e07229ba: 142 net.inet.tcp.nolocaltimewait enabled by default. It prevents 143 creation of timewait entries for TCP connections that were 144 terminated locally. 145 146d410b585b6f0: 147 sh(1) is now the default shell for the root user. 148 149396851c20aeb: 150 libncursesw has been split into libtinfow and libncursesw, linker 151 scripts should make it transparent for consumers. pkg-config files 152 are also now installed to ease ports detecting the ncurses setup from 153 base. 154 155a422084abbda: 156 LLVM's MemorySanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the 157 kmsan(9) manual page for more information. 158 15938da497a4dfc: 160 LLVM's AddressSanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the 161 kasan(9) manual page for more information. 162 163f39dd6a97844,23f24377b1a9,628bd30ab5a4: 164 One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream 165 (20210727). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been 166 either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include: 167 o Locale is no longer used for ranges 168 o Various bugs fixed 169 o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk 170 171 The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that 172 we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and 173 interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one 174 true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic 175 behavior. 176 177 A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart 178 if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator 179 is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14. 180 181ee29e6f31111: 182 Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio 183 that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS 184 server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running. 185 The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size 186 via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client 187 can also do 1Mbyte I/O. 188 kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased. A console 189 message will suggest a setting for it. 190 191d575e81fbcfa: 192 gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device 193 not present at creation time. 194 19576681661be28: 196 Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from 197 the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF). 198 199a145cf3f73c7: 200 The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4 201 supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0, 202 for NFSv4 mounts. 203 The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default. 204
