158b4e4c27SColin PercivalNOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 16.x IS SLOW:
168b4e4c27SColin Percival	FreeBSD 16.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel
17456b5dd8SWarner Losh	and userland.  These features attempt to detect incorrect use of
18456b5dd8SWarner Losh	system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity
19456b5dd8SWarner Losh	checking and fail stop semantics.  They also substantially impact
20456b5dd8SWarner Losh	system performance.  If you want to do performance measurement,
21456b5dd8SWarner Losh	benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off.  This
22456b5dd8SWarner Losh	includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc
23456b5dd8SWarner Losh	debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the
24456b5dd8SWarner Losh	kernel.  Many developers choose to disable these features on build
2599e449f2SJason Evans	machines to maximize performance.  (To completely disable malloc
267d4374f6SDimitry Andric	debugging, define WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/src.conf and rebuild
277d4374f6SDimitry Andric	world, or to merely disable the most expensive debugging functionality
287d4374f6SDimitry Andric	at runtime, run "ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".)

309065390dSLexi Winter20250918:
31*ea5e50c2SLexi Winter	mandoc (including /usr/bin/man) has been moved to a new package,
32*ea5e50c2SLexi Winter	FreeBSD-mandoc.  If you have the minimal set installed, this package
33*ea5e50c2SLexi Winter	will be installed automatically, otherwise you may want to install it.
34*ea5e50c2SLexi Winter
359065390dSLexi Winter	Kyua has been moved to the FreeBSD-kyua package, and ATF has been moved
369065390dSLexi Winter	to the FreeBSD-atf* packages.  If you have FreeBSD-tests installed,
379065390dSLexi Winter	these packages will be installed automatically, otherwise you should
389065390dSLexi Winter	manually install them if you need these tools.
399065390dSLexi Winter
409065390dSLexi Winter	This only affects pkgbase users.
419065390dSLexi Winter
42ab2fea3fSDag-Erling Smørgrav20250912:
43ab2fea3fSDag-Erling Smørgrav	If SRCCONF is unset and a file named src.conf is present at
44ab2fea3fSDag-Erling Smørgrav	the top of the source tree, it will now be used instead of
45ab2fea3fSDag-Erling Smørgrav	/etc/src.conf.
46ab2fea3fSDag-Erling Smørgrav
47a8a18eebSLexi Winter20250907:
48a8a18eebSLexi Winter	The MANSPLITPKG knob has been turned off by default, so pkgbase builds
49a8a18eebSLexi Winter	will no longer generate "-man" subpackages; instead the manpages will
50a8a18eebSLexi Winter	be shipped in the packages they belong to.  If you want to continue
51a8a18eebSLexi Winter	building split man packages, set WITH_MANSPLITPKG=1.
52a8a18eebSLexi Winter
538b4e4c27SColin Percival20250905:
548b4e4c27SColin Percival	FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT.
558b4e4c27SColin Percival
5692255335SEd Maste20250903:
5792255335SEd Maste	The BLOAT_KERNEL_WITH_EXTERR kernel config option has been renamed to
5892255335SEd Maste	EXTERR_STRINGS.
5992255335SEd Maste
60e0bc44b5SColin Percival20250827:
61e0bc44b5SColin Percival	The names of pkg repositories defined in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf have
62e0bc44b5SColin Percival	changed: "FreeBSD" is now "FreeBSD-ports", and "FreeBSD-kmods" is now
63e0bc44b5SColin Percival	"FreeBSD-ports-kmods".  Users with /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos files
64e0bc44b5SColin Percival	which override these will need to adjust their configuration to match
65e0bc44b5SColin Percival	the new names.
66e0bc44b5SColin Percival
67110a2fa9SLexi Winter20250823:
68929f5966SLexi Winter	The set of pkgbase packages for Kerberos and OpenSSL has changed.
69929f5966SLexi Winter	After updating past 250e77d4f0a5, you should check 'pkg orphans'
70929f5966SLexi Winter	and remove any orphaned packages, then examine the output of
71929f5966SLexi Winter	'pkg install -r base -g FreeBSD-openssl\* FreeBSD-kerberos\*'
72929f5966SLexi Winter	and install any new packages you need.
73929f5966SLexi Winter
74929f5966SLexi Winter20250823:
75110a2fa9SLexi Winter	To restore bridge(4)'s ABI compatibility with ifconfig from 14.x or
76110a2fa9SLexi Winter	earlier, the size of struct ifbreq has changed, so you must update
77110a2fa9SLexi Winter	the kernel and /sbin/ifconfig at the same time or you will not be
78110a2fa9SLexi Winter	able to add interfaces to bridge.  This is particularly important
79110a2fa9SLexi Winter	if you require bridge for network access during boot, in which case
80110a2fa9SLexi Winter	you should install the new kernel and the new /sbin/ifconfig prior
81110a2fa9SLexi Winter	to rebooting.
82110a2fa9SLexi Winter
83ba487345SBojan Novković20250820:
84dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter	The WITHOUT_GSSAPI src.conf knob has been removed.  This was already
85dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter	a no-op for MIT Kerberos, so this only affects builds which set
86dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter	WITHOUT_MITKRB5=1, in which case you now always get libgssapi.
87dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter
88dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter	Also, Heimdal's compile_et and libcom_err are now controlled by
89dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter	WITHOUT_KERBEROS, not WITHOUT_KERBEROS_SUPPORT.  This matches
90dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter	the behaviour of the MIT Kerberos versions.
91dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter
92dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter20250820:
93ba487345SBojan Novković	Commits 08c7dd2fbe4f and a4197ea47777 have changed the ABI between
94ba487345SBojan Novković	libvmmapi and the vmm device. If using a custom kernel configuration,
95ba487345SBojan Novković	please ensure that the COMPAT_FREEBSD14 option is included so older
96ba487345SBojan Novković	versions of libvmmapi continue working as expected.
97ba487345SBojan Novković
98dc5f8c34SKyle Evans20250819:
99dc5f8c34SKyle Evans	The CLEAN option has been switched back from default-on to default-off.
100dc5f8c34SKyle Evans	This reverts the 20250808 change below, which had reverted the 20240729
101dc5f8c34SKyle Evans	change before it.  Note that some src.conf(5) options are known to break
102dc5f8c34SKyle Evans	ABI or compatibility in ways that may require a clean build initially
103dc5f8c34SKyle Evans	when switched.
104dc5f8c34SKyle Evans
10514b4a3f3SLexi Winter20250816:
10614b4a3f3SLexi Winter	Sendmail's libmilter has been moved to its own package.  If you want
10714b4a3f3SLexi Winter	to compile applications that use libmilter, you should install the
10814b4a3f3SLexi Winter	FreeBSD-libmilter* packages.
10914b4a3f3SLexi Winter
11014b4a3f3SLexi Winter	If you only have FreeBSD-sendmail installed for applications that
11114b4a3f3SLexi Winter	require libmilter, you can now remove it.
11214b4a3f3SLexi Winter
113837b13afSLexi Winter20250815:
11475b18bafSAlexander Leidinger	The [gs]etgroups(2)syscalls have changed. To maintain backwards
1153463f027SAlexander Leidinger	compatibility with existing programs, you need COMPAT_FREEBSD14 in
1163463f027SAlexander Leidinger	your kernel config until all applications which use this are
1173463f027SAlexander Leidinger	rebuild/reinstalled.
1183463f027SAlexander Leidinger
1193463f027SAlexander Leidinger20250815:
12069af14a5SWarner Losh	jemalloc 5.3.0 has been committed to the tree.
12169af14a5SWarner Losh
12269af14a5SWarner Losh20250815:
123bcefbb46SAlexander Leidinger	The removal of Secure RPC DES authentication noted in 20250810
124837b13afSLexi Winter	has been reverted.  (However, it is still non-functional.)
125837b13afSLexi Winter
126f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa20250813:
127db575840SRick Macklem	Commit cce64f2e6851 changed the internal KAPI between the NFS
128db575840SRick Macklem	modules.  As such, all of them need to be rebuilt from sources.
129db575840SRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped to 1500060 already today,
130db575840SRick Macklem	 so I will not bump it again for this.
131db575840SRick Macklem
132db575840SRick Macklem20250813:
133f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa	The gpiobus_attach_bus() function has been removed. Drivers should now
134f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa	use the gpiobus_add_bus() function instead. The difference being that
135f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa	gpiobus_add_bus() doesn't call bus_attach_children(), calling it will
136f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa	be the responsibility of the caller now.
137f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa
138084a3e1eSLexi Winter20250810:
139084a3e1eSLexi Winter	Support for Secure RPC DES authentication has been removed.
140084a3e1eSLexi Winter	The keyserv(8) daemon was already removed, but support for it in libc
141084a3e1eSLexi Winter	has also been removed, so if you somehow still had keyserv installed,
142084a3e1eSLexi Winter	it will now stop working.  There is no workaround for this.  Removing
143084a3e1eSLexi Winter	DES is considered a feature.
144084a3e1eSLexi Winter
1456dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav20250808:
1466dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav	The CLEAN option has been switched back from default-off to
1476dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav	default-on.  This reverts the 20240729 change below.
1486dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav
1497ed6b6b9SLexi Winter20250807:
1507ed6b6b9SLexi Winter	routed(8) and route6d(8) have moved to the FreeBSD-rip package.
1517ed6b6b9SLexi Winter	If you use either of these, you should install the new package.
1527ed6b6b9SLexi Winter
1533a2d4a10SRonald Klop20250806:
1543a2d4a10SRonald Klop	if_epair(4) now uses ether_gen_addr(9) to generate a stable MAC
1553a2d4a10SRonald Klop	address.
1563a2d4a10SRonald Klop	To keep using the random address, set the loader tunable
1573a2d4a10SRonald Klop	net.link.epair.ether_gen_addr=0.
1583a2d4a10SRonald Klop
15937056594SLexi Winter20250804:
16037056594SLexi Winter	bsdconfig (including sysrc(8)) has moved to the new bsdconfig
16137056594SLexi Winter	package.  If you use pkgbase and wish to use bsdconfig, you should
16237056594SLexi Winter	install FreeBSD-bsdconfig.
16337056594SLexi Winter
16474072e9fSEd Maste20250730:
16574072e9fSEd Maste	The usbhid(4) USB HID driver is now enabled by default, and will be
16674072e9fSEd Maste	used in preference to other USB HID drivers like ukbd(4), ums(4), and
16774072e9fSEd Maste	uhid(4).  Work on a FIDO/U2F driver and moused(8) is in progress.
16874072e9fSEd Maste	The default is being switched now so that we can find and fix any
16974072e9fSEd Maste	additional issues prior to FreeBSD 15.0.
17074072e9fSEd Maste
17174072e9fSEd Maste	To revert to the previous USB HID driver behavior, set the loader
172d0144563SEd Maste	tunable hw.usb.usbhid.enable=0.
17374072e9fSEd Maste
1749b3055d0SKevin Bowling20250727:
17514f57afbSLexi Winter	bmake (i.e., /usr/bin/make and /usr/share/mk) has moved to a new
17614f57afbSLexi Winter	package, FreeBSD-bmake.  If you use pkgbase and you need make, you
17714f57afbSLexi Winter	should install this package.
17814f57afbSLexi Winter
1791b7f9c58SMark Johnston20250726:
1801b7f9c58SMark Johnston	amd64 kernel configurations must contain "options SMP".
1811b7f9c58SMark Johnston
182c6da58bcSLexi Winter20250725:
183c6da58bcSLexi Winter	gssd(8) has been moved to a new package, FreeBSD-gssd.  If you use
184c6da58bcSLexi Winter	pkgbase and you need gssd, you should install this package.
185c6da58bcSLexi Winter
186962876ccSLexi Winter20250724:
187962876ccSLexi Winter	The Kerberos packages which are built when WITH_MITKRB5 is enabled
188962876ccSLexi Winter	have been renamed from FreeBSD-krb5* to FreeBSD-kerberos*.  This
189962876ccSLexi Winter	affects pkgbase users who manually enabled WITH_MITKRB5, *or* use
190962876ccSLexi Winter	the default value of WITH_MITKRB5 and updated past c7da9fb90b0b
191962876ccSLexi Winter	(20250721) which made WITH_MITKRB5 the default.
192962876ccSLexi Winter
193962876ccSLexi Winter	In either case, if you have FreeBSD-krb5* packages installed, you
194962876ccSLexi Winter	should remove them and (re)install the equivalent FreeBSD-kerberos*
195962876ccSLexi Winter	packages instead.
196962876ccSLexi Winter
197c7da9fb9SCy Schubert20250721:
198c7da9fb9SCy Schubert	WITH_MITKRB5 is now enabled by default. MIT KRB5 has replaced
199c7da9fb9SCy Schubert	Heimdal in base. Ports that use USES=gssapi must be rebuilt.
200c7da9fb9SCy Schubert	A clean buildworld is required.
201c7da9fb9SCy Schubert
202f690a2daSRick Macklem20250719:
203f690a2daSRick Macklem	Commits 392a82b225 and c00baac0ab both changed the
204f690a2daSRick Macklem	internal API between the NFS modules.  As such, all
205f690a2daSRick Macklem	these modules need to be rebuilt from sources.
206f690a2daSRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version was bumped to 1500053 for this.
207f690a2daSRick Macklem
2083fde3907SKyle Evans20250710:
2093fde3907SKyle Evans	The shar(1) utility has been removed from base.  The
2103fde3907SKyle Evans	sysutils/freebsd-shar port was created to maintain this version of
2113fde3907SKyle Evans	shar(1) past its removal from base.
2123fde3907SKyle Evans
213842da154SBjoern A. Zeeb20250704:
214842da154SBjoern A. Zeeb	LinuxKPI device.h and acpi changes effecting drivers and drm-kmod.
215842da154SBjoern A. Zeeb	Bump __FreeBSD_version 1500050 to be able to detect these changes.
216842da154SBjoern A. Zeeb
2171b832d5dSRick Macklem20250630:
2181b832d5dSRick Macklem	Commits 171f66b0c2ca and 8e2a90ac8089 changed the internal
2191b832d5dSRick Macklem	api between nfscommon.ko and the other nfs modules.
2201b832d5dSRick Macklem	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1500049 for this.
2211b832d5dSRick Macklem	All NFS related modules must be rebuilt from up-to-date
2221b832d5dSRick Macklem	sources.
2231b832d5dSRick Macklem
224daf2a138SAlexander Ziaee20250625:
225daf2a138SAlexander Ziaee	"make delete-old" will now remove the Forth bootloader entirely
226daf2a138SAlexander Ziaee	if the system is built with WITHOUT_FORTH.
227daf2a138SAlexander Ziaee
22829d0bcfdSCy Schubert20250614:
22929d0bcfdSCy Schubert	MIT KRB5 (MIT Kerberos5) has been imported into 15-CURRENT. To
23029d0bcfdSCy Schubert	and install MIT KRB5, add WITH_MITKRB5=yes to /etc/src.conf. This
23129d0bcfdSCy Schubert	will build and install MIT KRB5 1.21.3. And it will remove Heimdal
23229d0bcfdSCy Schubert	1.5.2 when delete-old and delete-old-libs are run. To revert back
23329d0bcfdSCy Schubert	simply buildworld/installworld again with delete-old-libs and
23429d0bcfdSCy Schubert	delete-old.
23529d0bcfdSCy Schubert
23629d0bcfdSCy Schubert	At the moment we only know of a couple of ports that might be
23729d0bcfdSCy Schubert	affected. Adjusting libmap.conf does not circumvent runtime issues.
23829d0bcfdSCy Schubert	The few affected ports must be rebuilt. A successful exp-run will be
23929d0bcfdSCy Schubert	run before MIT KRB5 becomes default.
24029d0bcfdSCy Schubert
24129d0bcfdSCy Schubert	Those using the KDC in FreeBSD base may wish to wait. The Heimdal
24229d0bcfdSCy Schubert	HDB is incompatible with the MIT KRB5 KDC. The migration procedure
24329d0bcfdSCy Schubert	is a little involved.
24429d0bcfdSCy Schubert
245a02180cfSBjoern A. Zeeb20250603:
246a02180cfSBjoern A. Zeeb	LinuxKPI dma-mapping.h were pulled into the tree from drm-kmod.
247a02180cfSBjoern A. Zeeb	Bump _FreeBSD_version to 1500045 to be able to detect this change.
248a02180cfSBjoern A. Zeeb
24976a61252SLexi Winter20250527:
250311ad5bcSKristof Provost	pf changed extension header handling. It now treats AH headers on IPv4 just
251311ad5bcSKristof Provost	like AH headers on IPv6 and skips over them, allowing filtering on the inner
252311ad5bcSKristof Provost	protocol.
253311ad5bcSKristof Provost
254311ad5bcSKristof Provost20250527:
255311ad5bcSKristof Provost	pf now blocks IPv6 packets with a hop-by-hop or destination options header by
256311ad5bcSKristof Provost	default. Such packets can be passed by adding "allow-opts" to the rule. IPv6
257311ad5bcSKristof Provost	options are now handled just like their IPv4 counterparts.
258311ad5bcSKristof Provost
259311ad5bcSKristof Provost20250527:
260f947f58cSLexi Winter	The CAM target layer userland, i.e. ctld(8), ctladm(8) and ctlstat(8),
261f947f58cSLexi Winter	has moved to the new FreeBSD-ctl package.  If you use pkgbase and you
262f947f58cSLexi Winter	need the CAM Target Layer, you should install the new package.
263f947f58cSLexi Winter
264f947f58cSLexi Winter	Development-related tools (e.g. ar and nm) have moved to the new
265f947f58cSLexi Winter	"FreeBSD-toolchain" package, which subsumes and obsoletes the
266f947f58cSLexi Winter	existing "FreeBSD-elftoolchain" package.  If you use pkgbase and
267f947f58cSLexi Winter	need to compile software, you should install the new package and
268f947f58cSLexi Winter	ensure the old FreeBSD-elftoolchain* packages are completely removed.
26976a61252SLexi Winter
270c485a58fSZhenlei Huang20250521:
271c485a58fSZhenlei Huang	Commit e64fe5ad3a23 removed in6_maxmtu and its setter in6_setmaxmtu().
272c485a58fSZhenlei Huang	in6_maxmtu is used to store the max IPv6 MTU of all interfaces,
273c485a58fSZhenlei Huang	however it does not have any in-tree consumers since the introduction
274c485a58fSZhenlei Huang	from the KAME project. The removal should have little impact, and the
275c485a58fSZhenlei Huang	max IPv6 MTU can be easily retrieved by iterating over all the attached
276c485a58fSZhenlei Huang	interface if 3rd party modules need it.
277c485a58fSZhenlei Huang
27896af6ac7SRick Macklem20250515:
27996af6ac7SRick Macklem	Commit 772258c89f28 changed the internal API between the nfscommon
28096af6ac7SRick Macklem	and nfscl modules.  Both need to be built from updated sources.

282b61850c4SLexi Winter20250513:
283b61850c4SLexi Winter	The bridge(4) sysctl net.link.bridge.member_ifaddrs now defaults to 0,
284b61850c4SLexi Winter	meaning that interfaces added to a bridge may not have IP addresses
285b61850c4SLexi Winter	assigned.  Refer to bridge(4) for more information.

2876ee513f4SWarner Losh20250507:
2886ee513f4SWarner Losh	UMASS quirks and auto-quirk probing has been overhauled. CAM now won't
2896ee513f4SWarner Losh	send SYNCHRONIZE CACHE unless MODE PAGE 8 is present and valid. This
2906ee513f4SWarner Losh	should allow more devices to work (since the auto quirk code was updated
2916ee513f4SWarner Losh	in 14 and broke several e-readers and the like). Please send imp@freebsd.org
2926ee513f4SWarner Losh	any regression reports.

29483507f9eSXin LI20250504:
2954a795fb9SRick Macklem	Commit 9419e086e1a3 changed the internal API between the nfscommon
2964a795fb9SRick Macklem	and nfscl modules.  Both need to be built from updated sources.
2974a795fb9SRick Macklem
2987acd5af4SBjoern A. Zeeb20250412:
2997acd5af4SBjoern A. Zeeb	LinuxKPI alloc routines were changed to return physically contiguous
3007acd5af4SBjoern A. Zeeb	memory where expected. These changes may require out-of-tree drivers
3017acd5af4SBjoern A. Zeeb	to be recompiled.
3027acd5af4SBjoern A. Zeeb	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1500037 to be able to detect this change.
3037acd5af4SBjoern A. Zeeb
304558d6388SBjoern A. Zeeb20250409:
305918783b7SBjoern A. Zeeb	Intel iwlwifi firmware has been removed from the src repository.
306558d6388SBjoern A. Zeeb	Before updating their system, users of iwlwifi(4) or iwx(4) must
307558d6388SBjoern A. Zeeb	install the appropriate firmware for their chipset using fwget(8) or
308918783b7SBjoern A. Zeeb	building it from ports.

3101cae7121SEd Maste20250314:
3111cae7121SEd Maste	We now use LLVM's binary utilities (nm, objcopy, etc.) by default.
3121cae7121SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_LLVM_BINUTILS src.conf(5) knob can be used to revert to
3131cae7121SEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain tools if desired.

3156ba1c5abSAndrey V. Elsukov20250303:
3166ba1c5abSAndrey V. Elsukov	Commit 4a77657cbc01 changed the ABI between ipfw(8) and ipfw(4).
3176ba1c5abSAndrey V. Elsukov	Please note that the old ipfw(8) binary will not work with the new
3186ba1c5abSAndrey V. Elsukov	ipfw(4) module. Therefore, it is recommended to disable ipfw during
3196ba1c5abSAndrey V. Elsukov	the upgrade, otherwise the host system may become inaccessible because
3206ba1c5abSAndrey V. Elsukov	ipfw rules cannot be installed with the old binary.

322091f30a9SRick Macklem20250214:
323091f30a9SRick Macklem	Commit 4517fbfd4251 modified the internal API between the
324091f30a9SRick Macklem	nfscommon and nfscl modules.  As such, both of these modules
325091f30a9SRick Macklem	need to be rebuilt from sources.

3270009c4e7SGleb Smirnoff20250201:
3280009c4e7SGleb Smirnoff	The NFS related daemons, that provide RPC services to the kernel:
3290009c4e7SGleb Smirnoff	gssd(8), rpcbind(8), rpc.tlsservd(8) and rpc.tlsclntd(8), now use a
3300009c4e7SGleb Smirnoff	different transport - netlink(4) socket instead of unix(4).  Users of
3310009c4e7SGleb Smirnoff	NFS need to upgrade both kernel and world (binaries and libc) at once.
3320009c4e7SGleb Smirnoff	Also, any revision between 88cd1e17a7d8 and 99e5a70046da should be
3330009c4e7SGleb Smirnoff	avoided.

340c4530dffSMitchell Horne20250127:
341c4530dffSMitchell Horne	The Allwinner a10_timer driver has been renamed to aw_driver. If you
342c4530dffSMitchell Horne	have a custom kernel configuration including the line 'device
343c4530dffSMitchell Horne	a10_timer', it must be adjusted to 'device aw_timer'. The same applies
344c4530dffSMitchell Horne	for device exclusions with 'nodevice'.
345c4530dffSMitchell Horne
346582c8de0SAlexander Leidinger20250106:
347a071c767SEmmanuel Vadot	A new SOC_ROCKCHIP options appeared, so if you have a custom kernel configuration
348e239f491SHarry Fellowes	targeting Rockchip SoC you need to add it so shared and mandatory drivers for
349e239f491SHarry Fellowes	this SoC family will be selected.
350a071c767SEmmanuel Vadot	Also a new rk8xx device was added, this select the base driver for Rockchip PMIC.
351a071c767SEmmanuel Vadot
352e0b7a9b6SMark Johnston20241223:
353e0b7a9b6SMark Johnston	The layout of NFS file handles for the tarfs, tmpfs, cd9660, and ext2fs
354e0b7a9b6SMark Johnston	file systems has changed.  An NFS server that exports any of these file
355e0b7a9b6SMark Johnston	systems will need its clients to unmount and remount the exports.
356e0b7a9b6SMark Johnston
35794e94d2dSEmmanuel Vadot20241216:
35894e94d2dSEmmanuel Vadot	The iwm(4) firmwares are no longer compiled as kernel modules but instead
35994e94d2dSEmmanuel Vadot	shipped as raw files. For pkgbase users if you use iwm(4) you will need
36094e94d2dSEmmanuel Vadot	to install the FreeBSD-firmware-iwm package.
36194e94d2dSEmmanuel Vadot
3628ea6c115SStefan Eßer20241124:
3638ea6c115SStefan Eßer	The OpenBSD derived bc and dc implementations and the WITHOUT_GH_BC
3648ea6c115SStefan Eßer	option that allowed building them instead of the advanced version
3658ea6c115SStefan Eßer	imported more than 4 years ago have been removed.
3668ea6c115SStefan Eßer
3672580205dSVladimir Kondratyev20241107:
3682580205dSVladimir Kondratyev	The ng_ubt(4) driver now requires firmwares to be loaded on Realtek
3692580205dSVladimir Kondratyev	adaptors with rtlbtfw(8) utility. It no longer attaches to devices
3702580205dSVladimir Kondratyev	standing in bootloader mode. Firmware files are available in the
3712580205dSVladimir Kondratyev	comms/rtlbt-firmware port.
3722580205dSVladimir Kondratyev
373a5ad360fSMateusz Piotrowski20241025:
374a5ad360fSMateusz Piotrowski	The support for the rc_fast_and_loose variable has been removed from
375a5ad360fSMateusz Piotrowski	rc.subr(8). Users setting rc_fast_and_loose on their systems are
376a5ad360fSMateusz Piotrowski	advised to make sure their customizations to rc service scripts
377a5ad360fSMateusz Piotrowski	do not depend on having a single shell environment shared across
378a5ad360fSMateusz Piotrowski	all the rc service scripts during booting and shutdown.
379a5ad360fSMateusz Piotrowski
380793c668eSWarner Losh20241013:
381793c668eSWarner Losh	The ciss driver was updated to cope better with hotplug events that
382793c668eSWarner Losh	caused it to panic before, and to support more than 48 drives attached
383793c668eSWarner Losh	to the card. These changes were made w/o benefit of hardware for testing
384793c668eSWarner Losh	and ciss(4) users should be on the lookout for regressions.
385793c668eSWarner Losh
386ba373fcaSEd Maste20240729:
387ba373fcaSEd Maste	The build now defaults to WITHOUT_CLEAN - i.e., no automatic clean
388ba373fcaSEd Maste	is performed at the beginning of buildworld or buildkernel.  The
389ba373fcaSEd Maste	WITH_CLEAN src.conf(5) knob can be used to restore the previous
390ba373fcaSEd Maste	behaviour.
391ba373fcaSEd Maste
392ba373fcaSEd Maste	If you encounter incremental build issues, please report them to the
393ba373fcaSEd Maste	freebsd-current mailing list so that a special-case dependency can be
394ba373fcaSEd Maste	added, if necessary.
395ba373fcaSEd Maste
39663e28228SWarner Losh20240715:
39763e28228SWarner Losh	We now lean more heavily on ACPI enumeration for some traditional
39863e28228SWarner Losh	devices. uart has moved from isa to acpi so the hints act as wiring
39963e28228SWarner Losh	instead of device enumeration. Hints for parallel port, floppy, etc
40063e28228SWarner Losh	have been removed.  Before upgrading, grep your dmesg for lines like:
40163e28228SWarner Losh		uart1: non-PNP ISA device will be removed from GENERIC in FreeBSD 15.
40263e28228SWarner Losh	to see if you need to start including hints for the device on isa
40363e28228SWarner Losh	in your loader.conf or device.hints file. APU1 (but not APU2) boards
40463e28228SWarner Losh	are known to be affected, but there may be others.
40563e28228SWarner Losh
4067818c2d3SAndrew Turner20240712:
4077818c2d3SAndrew Turner	Support for armv6 has been disconnected and is being removed.
4087818c2d3SAndrew Turner
409e2ad879dSEd Maste20240617:
410e2ad879dSEd Maste	ifconfig now treats IPv4 addresses without a width or mask as an error.
411e2ad879dSEd Maste	Specify the desired mask or width along with the IP address on the
412e2ad879dSEd Maste	ifconfig command line and in rc.conf.
413e2ad879dSEd Maste
4141b3c07beSLexi Winter20240428:
4151b3c07beSLexi Winter	OpenBSM auditing runtime (auditd, etc.) has been moved into the new
4161b3c07beSLexi Winter	package FreeBSD-audit.  If you use OpenBSM auditing and pkgbase, you
4171b3c07beSLexi Winter	should install FreeBSD-audit.
4181b3c07beSLexi Winter
4196b1d152dSLexi Winter20240424:
4206b1d152dSLexi Winter	cron, lpr, and ntpd have been moved from FreeBSD-utilities into their
4216b1d152dSLexi Winter	own packages.  If you use pkgbase, you should install the relevant
4226b1d152dSLexi Winter	packages: FreeBSD-cron, FreeBSD-lp, or FreeBSD-ntp.
4236b1d152dSLexi Winter
42415780223SDimitry Andric20240406:
42515780223SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
42615780223SDimitry Andric	been upgraded to 18.1.6. It is important that you run `make delete-old`
42715780223SDimitry Andric	as described in the COMMON ITEMS section, otherwise several libc++
42815780223SDimitry Andric	headers that are obsolete and need to be removed can cause compilation
42915780223SDimitry Andric	errors in C++ programs.
43015780223SDimitry Andric
4310d4f7723SBrooks Davis20240205:
4320d4f7723SBrooks Davis	For dynamically linked programs, system calls are now made from
4330d4f7723SBrooks Davis	libsys rather than libc.  No change in linkage is required as
4340d4f7723SBrooks Davis	libsys is an auxiliary filter for libc.  People building custom
4350d4f7723SBrooks Davis	images must ensure that libsys.so.7 is included.
4360d4f7723SBrooks Davis
437c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy20240202:
438c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy	Loader now also read configuration files listed in local_loader_conf_files.
439c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy	Files listed here are the last ones read. And /boot/loader.conf.local was
440c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy	moved from loader_conf_files to local_loader_conf_files leaving only
441c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy	loader.conf and device.hints in loader_conf_files by default.
442c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy
443c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy	The following sequencing is applied:
444c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy
445c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy	1. Bootstrap:
446c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy	    /boot/defaults/loader.conf
447c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy
448c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy	2. Read loader_conf_files files:
449c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy	    /boot/device.hints
450c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy	    /boot/loader.conf
451c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy
452c475e61fSStéphane Rochoy	3. Read loader_conf_dirs files:

465d004554aSRick Macklem20240111:
466d004554aSRick Macklem	Commit cc760de2183f changed the internal interface between
467d004554aSRick Macklem	the nfscommon and nfscl modules.  As such, both need to be
468d004554aSRick Macklem	rebuilt from sources.  Therefore, __FreeBSD_version was
469d004554aSRick Macklem	bumped to 1500010.

4710abe05aeSWarner Losh20231120:
4720abe05aeSWarner Losh	If you have an arm64 system that uses ACPI, you will need to update your
4730abe05aeSWarner Losh	loader.efi in the ESP when you update past this point.  Detection of ACPI
4740abe05aeSWarner Losh	was moved earlier in the binary so the scripts could use it, but old
4755d4f897fSWarner Losh	binaries don't have this, so we default to 'no ACPI' in this case. You can
4765d4f897fSWarner Losh	undisable ACPI by doing
4775d4f897fSWarner Losh		OK unset hint.acpi.0.disabled
4785d4f897fSWarner Losh	This can also be used to recover any other system that was updated in the
4795d4f897fSWarner Losh	small window where amd64 was also broken.
4800abe05aeSWarner Losh
481ec4c2adbSBrooks Davis20231113:
482ec4c2adbSBrooks Davis	The WITHOUT_LLD_IS_LD option has been removed.  When LLD is enabled
483ec4c2adbSBrooks Davis	it is always installed as /usr/bin/ld.
484ec4c2adbSBrooks Davis
4850527c9bdSWarner Losh20231027:
4860527c9bdSWarner Losh	Forward compatibility (running the new code on old kernels) for the
4870527c9bdSWarner Losh	"ino64" project have been removed. The need for it has passed long ago.
4880527c9bdSWarner Losh
489fb7140b1SRick Macklem20231018:
490fb7140b1SRick Macklem	Commit 57ce37f9dcd0 changed the internal KAPI between the
491fb7140b1SRick Macklem	nfscommon and nfscl modules.  Both must be rebuilt from sources.
492fb7140b1SRick Macklem
493bb63e82eSBaptiste Daroussin20231010:
494bb63e82eSBaptiste Daroussin	dialog(1) has been replaced in base by bsddialog(1), while most of the
495bb63e82eSBaptiste Daroussin	time replacing a dialog(1) call by a bsddialog(1) call works out of the
496261cda20SCeri Davies	box, bsddialog(1) is not considered as a drop-in replacement for
497261cda20SCeri Davies	dialog(1).
498bb63e82eSBaptiste Daroussin
499261cda20SCeri Davies	If you do depend on dialog(1) functionality, please install cdialog

504da695970SEd Maste20230927:
505da695970SEd Maste	The EARLY_AP_STARTUP kernel option is mandatory on x86.  The option
506da695970SEd Maste	has been added to DEFAULTS, so it should automatically be included in
507da695970SEd Maste	custom kernel configurations without any additional change.
508da695970SEd Maste
509366ef17bSZhenlei Huang20230922:
510366ef17bSZhenlei Huang	A new loader tunable net.pf.default_to_drop allows pf(4)’s default
511366ef17bSZhenlei Huang	behaviour to be changed from pass to drop. Previously this required
512366ef17bSZhenlei Huang	recompiling the kernel with the option PF_DEFAULT_TO_DROP.
513366ef17bSZhenlei Huang
51474da9c39SDoug Rabson20230914:
51574da9c39SDoug Rabson	Enable splitting out pkgbase manpages into separate packages by

51774da9c39SDoug Rabson
5184ff9d270SDoug Rabson20230911:
5194ff9d270SDoug Rabson	Move standard include files to the clibs-dev package and move clang
5204ff9d270SDoug Rabson	internal libraries and headers to clang and clang-dev. Upgrading systems
5214ff9d270SDoug Rabson	installed using pkgbase past this change involves extra steps to allow
5224ff9d270SDoug Rabson	for these file moves:
5234ff9d270SDoug Rabson

528c1b26df2SZhenlei Huang20230909:
529c1b26df2SZhenlei Huang	Enable vnet sysctl variables to be loader tunable. SYSCTLs which
530c1b26df2SZhenlei Huang	belongs to VNETs can be initialized during early boot or module
531c1b26df2SZhenlei Huang	loading if they are marked with CTLFLAG_TUN and there are

5414722ceb7SEd Maste20230817:
5424722ceb7SEd Maste	Serial communication (in boot loaders, kernel, and userland) has
5434722ceb7SEd Maste	been changed to default to 115200 bps, in line with common industry
544e239f491SHarry Fellowes	practice and typical firmware serial console redirection
5454722ceb7SEd Maste	configuration.
5464722ceb7SEd Maste
5474722ceb7SEd Maste	Note that the early x86 BIOS bootloader (i.e., boot0sio) does not
548edacf4b4SGraham Perrin	support rates above 9600 bps and is not changed. boot0sio users may
5494722ceb7SEd Maste	set BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=9600 to use 9600 for all of the boot

55337c8ee88SMarius Strobl20230807:
55437c8ee88SMarius Strobl	Following the general removal of MIPS support, the ath(4) AHB bus-
55537c8ee88SMarius Strobl	frontend has been removed, too, and building of the PCI support is
55637c8ee88SMarius Strobl	integrated with the ath(4) main module again. As a result, there's
55737c8ee88SMarius Strobl	no longer a need for if_ath_pci_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf or

565f475b710SWarner Losh	CAM has been mechanically updated s/u_int(64|32|16|8)_t/uint\1_t/g
566f475b710SWarner Losh	to move to the standard uintXX_t types from the old, traditional
567f475b710SWarner Losh	BSD u_intXX_t types. This should be a NOP, but may cause problems
568f475b710SWarner Losh	for out of tree changes. The SIMs were not updated since most of
569f475b710SWarner Losh	the old u_intXX_t uses weren't due to CAM interfaces.

5853a1f834bSDoug Rabson20230619:
5863a1f834bSDoug Rabson	To enable pf rdr rules for connections initiated from the host, pf
5873a1f834bSDoug Rabson	filter rules can be optionally enabled for packets delivered
5883a1f834bSDoug Rabson	locally. This can change the behavior of rules which match packets
5893a1f834bSDoug Rabson	delivered to lo0. To enable this feature:
5903a1f834bSDoug Rabson
5913a1f834bSDoug Rabson		sysctl net.pf.filter_local=1
5923a1f834bSDoug Rabson		service pf restart
5933a1f834bSDoug Rabson
5943a1f834bSDoug Rabson	When enabled, its best to ensure that packets delivered locally are not
5953a1f834bSDoug Rabson	filtered, e.g. by adding a 'skip on lo' rule.

68368c3f030SWarner Losh	hw.bus.disable_failed_devices has changed from 'false' to 'true' by
68468c3f030SWarner Losh	default. Now if newbus succeeds in probing a device, but fails to attach

74672d0d523SCy Schubert	Unbound support for RFC8375: The special-use domain 'home.arpa' is
74772d0d523SCy Schubert	by default blocked. To unblock it use a local-zone nodefault

75172d0d523SCy Schubert	Or use another type of local-zone to override with your choice.
75272d0d523SCy Schubert
75372d0d523SCy Schubert	The reason for this is discussed in Section 6.1 of RFC8375:
75472d0d523SCy Schubert	Because 'home.arpa.' is not globally scoped and cannot be secured
75572d0d523SCy Schubert	using DNSSEC based on the root domain's trust anchor, there is no way
75672d0d523SCy Schubert	to tell, using a standard DNS query, in which homenet scope an answer
75772d0d523SCy Schubert	belongs.  Consequently, users may experience surprising results with
75872d0d523SCy Schubert	such names when roaming to different homenets.

760b8d60729SRandall Stewart20211110:
761d6953863SRandall Stewart	Commit b8d60729deef changed the TCP congestion control framework so
762b8d60729SRandall Stewart	that any of the included congestion control modules could be
763b8d60729SRandall Stewart	the single module built into the kernel. Previously newreno
7649ad859daSGordon Tetlow	was automatically built in through direct reference. As of
765b8d60729SRandall Stewart	this commit you are required to declare at least one congestion
7669ad859daSGordon Tetlow	control module (e.g. 'options CC_NEWRENO') and to also declare a
767b8d60729SRandall Stewart	default using the CC_DEFAULT option (e.g. options CC_DEFAULT="newreno\").
768bde57090SGordon Bergling	The GENERIC configuration includes CC_NEWRENO and defines newreno
769b8d60729SRandall Stewart	as the default. If no congestion control option is built into the

837728958fbSKristof Provost	As of commit 01ad0c007964 if_bridge member interfaces can no longer
838728958fbSKristof Provost	change their MTU. Changing the MTU of the bridge itself will change the
839728958fbSKristof Provost	MTU on all member interfaces instead.

8417fa21b6dSRick Macklem20210716:
8427fa21b6dSRick Macklem	Commit ee29e6f31111 changed the internal KAPI between the nfscommon
8437fa21b6dSRick Macklem	and nfsd modules. Therefore, both need to be rebuilt from sources.
8447fa21b6dSRick Macklem	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400026 for this KAPI change.

8465ede4fc0SWarner Losh20210715:
8475ede4fc0SWarner Losh	The 20210707 awk update brought in a change in behavior. This has
8485ede4fc0SWarner Losh	been corrected as of d4d252c49976. Between these dates, if you
8495ede4fc0SWarner Losh	installed a new awk binary, you may not be able to build a new
8505ede4fc0SWarner Losh	kernel because the change in behavior affected the genoffset
8515ede4fc0SWarner Losh	script used to build the kernel. If you did update, the fix is
8525ede4fc0SWarner Losh	to update your sources past the above hash and do
8535ede4fc0SWarner Losh		% cd usr.bin/awk
8545ede4fc0SWarner Losh		% make clean all
8555ede4fc0SWarner Losh		% sudo -E make install
8565ede4fc0SWarner Losh	to enable building kernels again.

859bd597b81SRick Macklem	Commit 1e0a518d6548 changed the internal KAPI between the NFS
860bd597b81SRick Macklem	modules. They all need to be rebuilt from sources.  I did not
861bd597b81SRick Macklem	bump __FreeBSD_version, since it was bumped recently.

8633f7b2317SWarner Losh20210707:
864a65fe39dSWarner Losh	awk has been updated to the latest one-true-awk version 20210215.
8653f7b2317SWarner Losh	This contains a number of minor bug fixes.
8663f7b2317SWarner Losh
867b49ba74dSRick Macklem20210624:
868b49ba74dSRick Macklem	The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4
869b49ba74dSRick Macklem	supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0,
870b49ba74dSRick Macklem	for NFSv4 mounts.
871b49ba74dSRick Macklem	The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default.

87441dfd8bdSBjoern A. Zeeb	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400024 for LinuxKPI changes.
875800e82d1SMaigurs Stalidzans	Most notably netdev.h can change now as the (last) dependencies
87641dfd8bdSBjoern A. Zeeb	(mlx4/ofed) are now using struct ifnet directly, but also for PCI

8885860696eSRick Macklem	Commit e1a907a25cfa changed the internal KAPI between the krpc
8895860696eSRick Macklem	and nfsserver.  As such, both modules must be rebuilt from
8905860696eSRick Macklem	sources.  Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400022.
8915860696eSRick Macklem
8927cf9caf2SWarner Losh20210610:

895b3823943SWarner Losh20210608:
896f530cce5SEd Maste	The vendor/openzfs branch was renamed to vendor/openzfs/legacy to

899b3823943SWarner Losh	for details on how to correct any errors that might result. The
900b3823943SWarner Losh	short version is that you need to remove the old branch locally:
901b3823943SWarner Losh	    git update-ref -d refs/remotes/freebsd/vendor/openzfs

9101c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot20210513:
9111c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	Commit ca179c4d74f2 changed the package in which the OpenSSL
9121c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	libraries and utilities are packaged.
91328ce2012SEmmanuel Vadot	It is recommended for pkgbase user to do:
9141c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	pkg install -f FreeBSD-openssl
9151c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	before pkg upgrade otherwise some dependencies might not be met
9161c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	and pkg will stop working as libssl will not be present anymore

92201bad87aSRick Macklem	need to be rebuilt from sources.
92301bad87aSRick Macklem	Without this patch in your NFSv4.1/4.2 server, enabling

92768b7d9b5SRick Macklem20210411:
92868b7d9b5SRick Macklem	Commit 7763814fc9c2 changed the internal KAPI between
92968b7d9b5SRick Macklem	the krpc and NFS.  As such, the krpc, nfscommon and
93068b7d9b5SRick Macklem	nfscl modules must all be rebuilt from sources.
931d647d0d4SRick Macklem	Without this patch, NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts should not
932d647d0d4SRick Macklem	be done with the nfscbd(8) daemon running, to avoid
933d647d0d4SRick Macklem	needing a working back channel for server->client RPCs.

9352b98ea2eSRick Macklem20210330:
9362b98ea2eSRick Macklem	Commit 01ae8969a9ee fixed the NFSv4.1/4.2 server so that it
9372b98ea2eSRick Macklem	handles binding of the back channel as required by RFC5661.
9382b98ea2eSRick Macklem	Until this patch is in your server, avoid use of the "nconnects"

95417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20210108:
95517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	PC Card attachments for all devices have been removed. In the case of
95617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	wi and cmx, the entire drivers were removed because they were only
95717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	PC Card devices. FreeBSD_version 1300134 should be used for this
95817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	since it was bumped so recently.
95917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
96017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20210107:
96117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Transport-independent parts of HID support have been split off the USB
96217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	code in to separate subsystem.  Kernel configs which include one of
96317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ums, ukbd, uhid, atp, wsp, wmt, uaudio, ugold or ucycom drivers should
96417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	be updated with adding of "device hid" line.
96517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
96617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20210105:
96717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ncurses installation has been modified to only keep the widechar
96817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	enabled version.  Incremental build is broken for that change, so it
96917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	requires a clean build.
97017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
97117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201223:
97217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The FreeBSD project has migrated from Subversion to Git. Temporary
97317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	instructions can be found at
97417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/src-cvt.md

97617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
97717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201216:
97817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The services database has been updated to cover more of the basic
97917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	services expected in a modern system. The database is big enough
98017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	that it will cause issues in mergemaster in Releases previous to
98117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	12.2 and 11.3, or in very old current systems from before r358154.
98217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
98317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201215:
98417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Obsolete in-tree GDB 6.1.1 has been removed.  GDB (including kgdb)
98517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	may be installed from ports or packages.

98717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201124:
98817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ping6 has been merged into ping.  It can now be called as "ping -6".

99117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201108:
99217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Default value of net.add_addr_allfibs has been changed to 0.
99317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	If you have multi-fib configuration and rely on existence of all
99417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	interface routes in every fib, you need to set the above sysctl to 1.
99517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
99617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201030:
99717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The internal pre-processor in the calendar(1) program has been
99817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	extended to support more C pre-processor commands (e.g. #ifdef, #else,
99917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	and #undef) and to detect unbalanced conditional statements.
100017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Error messages have been extended to include the filename and line
100117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	number if processing stops to help fixing malformed data files.
100217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
100317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201026:
100417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	All the data files for the calendar(1) program, except calendar.freebsd,
100517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	have been moved to the deskutils/calendar-data port, much like the
100617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	jewish calendar entries were moved to deskutils/hebcal years ago. After
100717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	make delete-old-files, you need to install it to retain full
100817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	functionality. calendar(1) will issue a reminder for files it can't
100917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	find.
101017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
101117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200923:
101217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	LINT files are no longer generated. We now include the relevant NOTES
101317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	files. Note: This may cause conflicts with updating in some cases.
101417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	        find sys -name LINT\* -delete
101517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	is suggested across this commit	to remove the generated	LINT files.
101617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
101717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	If you have tried to update with generated files there, the svn
101817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	command you want to un-auger the tree is
101917101a25SAlexander Leidinger		cd sys/amd64/conf
102017101a25SAlexander Leidinger		svn revert -R .
102117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	and then do the above find from the top level. Substitute 'amd64'
102217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	above with where the error message indicates a conflict.
102317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
102417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200824:
102517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	OpenZFS support has been integrated. Do not upgrade root pools until
102617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the loader is updated to support zstd. Furthermore, we caution against
102717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	'zpool upgrade' for the next few weeks. The change should be transparent
102817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	unless you  want to use new features.
102917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
103017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Not all "NO_CLEAN" build scenarios work across these changes. Many
103117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	scenarios have been tested and fixed, but rebuilding kernels without
103217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	rebuilding world may fail.
103317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
103417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The ZFS cache file has moved from /boot to /etc to match the OpenZFS
103517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	upstream default. A fallback to /boot has been added for mountroot.
103617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
103717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Pool auto import behavior at boot has been moved from the kernel module
103817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to an explicit "zpool import -a" in one of the rc scripts enabled by
103917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	zfs_enable=YES. This means your non-root zpools won't auto import until
104017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	you upgrade your /etc/rc.d files.
104117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
104217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200824:
104317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The resume code now notifies devd with the 'kernel' system
104417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	rather than the old 'kern' subsystem to be consistent with
104517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	other use. The old notification will be created as well, but
104617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	will be removed prior to FreeBSD 14.0.
104717101a25SAlexander Leidinger
104817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200821:
104917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r362275 changed the internal API between the kernel RPC and the
105017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	NFS modules. As such, all the modules must be recompiled from
105117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	sources.
105217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
105317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200817:
105417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r364330 modified the internal API used between the NFS modules.
105517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	As such, all the NFS modules must be re-compiled from sources.
105617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
105717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200816:
105817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
105917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	been upgraded to 11.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for
106017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already
106117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
106217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
106317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200810:
106417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r364092 modified the internal ABI used between the kernel NFS
106517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	modules.  As such, all of these modules need to be rebuilt
106617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	from sources, so a version bump was done.
106717101a25SAlexander Leidinger
106817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200807:
106917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Makefile.inc has been updated to work around the issue documented in
107017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	20200729. It was a case where the optimization of using symbolic links
107117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to point to binaries created a situation where we'd run new binaries
107217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	with old libraries starting midway through the installworld process.
107317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
107417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200729:
107517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r363679 has redefined some undefined behavior in regcomp(3); notably,
107617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	extraneous escapes of most ordinary characters will no longer be
107717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	accepted.  An exp-run has identified all of the problems with this in
107817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ports, but other non-ports software may need extra escapes removed to
107917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	continue to function.
108017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
108117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Because of this change, installworld may encounter the following error
108217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	from rtld: Undefined symbol "regcomp@FBSD_1.6" -- It is imperative that
108317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	you do not halt installworld. Instead, let it run to completion (whether
108417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	successful or not) and run installworld once more.
108517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
108617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200627:
108717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	A new implementation of bc and dc has been imported in r362681. This
108817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	implementation corrects non-conformant behavior of the previous bc
108917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	and adds GNU bc compatible options. It offers a number of extensions,
109017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	is much faster on large values, and has support for message catalogs
109117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	(a number of languages are already supported, contributions of further
109217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	languages welcome). The option WITHOUT_GH_BC can be used to build the
109317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	world with the previous versions of bc and dc.
109417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
109517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200625:
109617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r362639 changed the internal API used between the NFS kernel modules.
109717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	As such, they all need to be rebuilt from sources.
109817101a25SAlexander Leidinger
109917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200613:
110017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r362158 changed the arguments for VFS_CHECKEXP().  As such, any
110117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	out of tree file systems need to be modified and rebuilt.
110217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Also, any file systems that are modules must be rebuilt.
110317101a25SAlexander Leidinger

111017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	It may be advised to setup aliases for grep to default to `-d skip` if
111117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	commonly non-recursively grepping a list that includes directories and
111217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the potential for the resulting stderr output is not tolerable.  Example

112717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	closefrom(2) has been moved under COMPAT12, and replaced in libc with a
112817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	stub that calls close_range(2).  If using a custom kernel configuration,
112917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	you may want to ensure that the COMPAT_FREEBSD12 option is included, as
113017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	a slightly older -CURRENT userland and older FreeBSD userlands may not
113117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	be functional without closefrom(2).

113617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The DTB overlays have now been removed from the tree for the H3/H5 and
113717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	A64 SoCs and the aw_sid and aw_thermal driver have been updated to
113817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	deal with upstream DTS. If you are using those overlays you need to

115517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200229:
115617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The WITH_GPL_DTC option has been removed.  The BSD-licenced device tree
115717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	compiler in usr.bin/dtc is used on all architectures which use dtc, and

117117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ncurses has been updated to a newer version (6.2-20200215). Given the ABI
117217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	has changed, users will have to rebuild all the ports that are linked to
117317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ncurses.
117417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
117517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200217:
117617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The size of struct vnet and the magic cookie have changed.

118317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	your Makefiles and scripts to define MK_<var>=no instead as required.
118417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
118517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	One exception to this is that program or library Makefiles should
118617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	define MAN to empty rather than setting MK_MAN=no.

119917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	retirement plan.  Specifically, the GCC, GCC_BOOTSTRAP, and GNUCXX
120017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	options default to off for all supported CPU architectures.  As a
120117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	short-term transition aid they may be enabled via WITH_* options.
120217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	GCC 4.2.1 is expected to be removed from the tree on 2020-03-31.

120417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200102:
120517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Support for armv5 has been disconnected and is being removed. The
120617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	machine combination MACHINE=arm MACHINE_ARCH=arm is no longer valid.
120717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	You must now use a MACHINE_ARCH of armv6 or armv7. The default

121017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191226:
121117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Clang/LLVM is now the default compiler for all powerpc architectures.
121217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	LLD is now the default linker for powerpc64.  The change for powerpc64
121317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	also includes a change to the ELFv2 ABI, incompatible with the existing
121417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ABI.
121517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
121617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191226:

122517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191212:
122617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r355677 has modified the internal interface used between the
122717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	NFS modules in the kernel. As such, they must all be upgraded
122817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	simultaneously. I will do a version bump for this.
122917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
123017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191205:
123117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The root certificates of the Mozilla CA Certificate Store have been
123217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	imported into the base system and can be managed with the certctl(8)
123317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	utility.  If you have installed the security/ca_root_nss port or package
123417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	with the ETCSYMLINK option (the default), be advised that there may be
123517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	differences between those included in the port and those included in
123617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	base due to differences in nss branch used as well as general update
123717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	frequency.  Note also that certctl(8) cannot manage certs in the
123817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	format used by the security/ca_root_nss port.
123917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
124017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191120:
124117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The amd(8) automount daemon has been disabled by default, and will be
124217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	removed in the future.  As of FreeBSD 10.1 the autofs(5) is available
124317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	for automounting.
124417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
124517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191107:
124617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The nctgpio and wbwd drivers have been moved to the superio bus.
124717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	If you have one of these drivers in a kernel configuration, then
124817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	you should add device superio to it.  If you use one of these drivers
124917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	as a module and you compile a custom set of modules, then you should
125017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	add superio to the set.
125117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
125217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191021:
125317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	KPIs for network drivers to access interface addresses have changed.
125417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Users need to recompile NIC driver modules together with kernel.

125617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191021:
125717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The net.link.tap.user_open sysctl no longer prevents user opening of
125817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	already created /dev/tapNN devices.  Access is still controlled by
125917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	node permissions, just like tun devices.  The net.link.tap.user_open
126017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	sysctl is now used only to allow users to perform devfs cloning of
126117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	tap devices, and the subsequent open may not succeed if the user is not
126217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	in the appropriate group.  This sysctl may be deprecated/removed
126317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	completely in the future.
126417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
126517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191009:
126617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	mips, powerpc, and sparc64 are no longer built as part of
126717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	universe / tinderbox unless MAKE_OBSOLETE_GCC is defined. If
126817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	not defined, mips, powerpc, and sparc64 builds will look for
126917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the xtoolchain binaries and if installed use them for universe
127017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	builds. As llvm 9.0 becomes vetted for these architectures, they
127117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	will be removed from the list.

128517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190913:
128617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ntpd no longer by default locks its pages in memory, allowing them
128717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to be paged out by the kernel. Use rlimit memlock to restore
128817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	historic BSD behaviour. For example, add "rlimit memlock 32"
128917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to ntp.conf to lock up to 32 MB of ntpd address space in memory.

129817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	and the "-o sync_unmount" and "-o init_backgrounded" mount options have
129917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	been removed from mount_fusefs(8).  You can safely remove them from
130017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	your scripts, because they had no effect.
130117101a25SAlexander Leidinger

131017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	rotated by periodic daily scripts) are changed from 0644 to 0640
131117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	because the file contains sensitive information that should not be

132917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190608:
133017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	A fix was applied to i386 kernel modules to avoid panics with
133117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	dpcpu or vnet.  Users need to recompile i386 kernel modules

133517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	User-wired pages now have their own counter,
133617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	vm.stats.vm.v_user_wire_count.  The vm.max_wired sysctl was renamed
133717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to vm.max_user_wired and changed from an unsigned int to an unsigned
133817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	long.  bhyve VMs wired with the -S are now subject to the user
133917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	wiring limit; the vm.max_user_wired sysctl may need to be tuned to

135417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190418:
135517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The following knobs have been added related to tradeoffs between
135617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	safe use of the random device and availability in the absence of
135717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	entropy:
135817101a25SAlexander Leidinger
135917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	kern.random.initial_seeding.bypass_before_seeding: tunable; set
136017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	non-zero to bypass the random device prior to seeding, or zero to
136117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	block random requests until the random device is initially seeded.
136217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	For now, set to 1 (unsafe) by default to restore pre-r346250 boot
136317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	availability properties.
136417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
136517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	kern.random.initial_seeding.read_random_bypassed_before_seeding:
136617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	read-only diagnostic sysctl that is set when bypass is enabled and
136717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	read_random(9) is bypassed, to enable programmatic handling of this
136817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	initial condition, if desired.
136917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
137017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	kern.random.initial_seeding.arc4random_bypassed_before_seeding:
137117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Similar to the above, but for arc4random(9) initial seeding.
137217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
137317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	kern.random.initial_seeding.disable_bypass_warnings: tunable; set
137417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	non-zero to disable warnings in dmesg when the same conditions are
137517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	met as for the diagnostic sysctls above.  Defaults to zero, i.e.,
137617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	produce warnings in dmesg when the conditions are met.
137717101a25SAlexander Leidinger
137817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190416:
137917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The loadable random module KPI has changed; the random_infra_init()
138017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	routine now requires a 3rd function pointer for a bool (*)(void)
138117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	method that returns true if the random device is seeded (and
138217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	therefore unblocked).
138317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
138417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190404:
138517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r345895 reverts r320698. This implies that an nfsuserd(8) daemon
138617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	built from head sources between r320757 (July 6, 2017) and
138717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r338192 (Aug. 22, 2018) will not work unless the "-use-udpsock"
138817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	is added to the command line.
138917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	nfsuserd daemons built from head sources that are post-r338192 are
139017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	not affected and should continue to work.
139117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
139217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190320:
139317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The fuse(4) module has been renamed to fusefs(4) for consistency with
139417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	other filesystems.  You should update any kld_load="fuse" entries in
139517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	/etc/rc.conf, fuse_load="YES" entries in /boot/loader.conf, and
139617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	"options FUSE" entries in kernel config files.
139717101a25SAlexander Leidinger
139817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190304:
139917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to
140017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	8.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about
140117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0
140217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	or higher.
140317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
140417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190226:
140517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	geom_uzip(4) depends on the new module xz.  If geom_uzip is statically
140617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	compiled into your custom kernel, add 'device xz' statement to the
140717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	kernel config.
140817101a25SAlexander Leidinger
140917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190219:
141017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	drm and drm2 have been removed from the tree. Please see
141117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics for the latest information on
141217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	migrating to the drm ports.
141317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
141417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190131:
141517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Iflib is no longer unconditionally compiled into the kernel.  Drivers
141617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	using iflib and statically compiled into the kernel, now require
141717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the 'device iflib' config option.  For the same drivers loaded as
141817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	modules on kernels not having 'device iflib', the iflib.ko module
141917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	is loaded automatically.
142017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
142117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190125:
142217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The IEEE80211_AMPDU_AGE and AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 kernel configuration
142317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	options no longer exist since r343219 and r343427 respectively;
142417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	nothing uses them, so they should be just removed from custom
142517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	kernel config files.
142617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
142717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181230:
142817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r342635 changes the way efibootmgr(8) works by requiring users to add
142917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the -b (bootnum) parameter for commands where the bootnum was previously
143017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	specified with each option. For example 'efibootmgr -B 0001' is now
143117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	'efibootmgr -B -b 0001'.
143217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
143317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181220:
143417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r342286 modifies the NFSv4 server so that it obeys vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport
143517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	in the same as it is applied to NFSv2 and 3.  This implies that NFSv4
143617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	servers that have vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport set will only allow mounts
143717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	from clients using a reserved port. Since both the FreeBSD and Linux
143817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	NFSv4 clients use reserved ports by default, this should not affect
143917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	most NFSv4 mounts.
144017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
144117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181219:
144217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The XLP config has been removed. We can't support 64-bit atomics in this
144317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	kernel because it is running in 32-bit mode. XLP users must transition
144417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to running a 64-bit kernel (XLP64 or XLPN32).
144517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
144617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The mips GXEMUL support has been removed from FreeBSD. MALTA* + qemu is
144717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the preferred emulator today and we don't need two different ones.
144817101a25SAlexander Leidinger
144917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The old sibyte / swarm / Broadcom BCM1250 support has been
145017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	removed from the mips port.
145117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
145217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181211:
145317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to
145417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	7.0.1.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about
145517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0
145617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	or higher.
145717101a25SAlexander Leidinger
145817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181211:
145917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Remove the timed and netdate programs from the base tree.  Setting
146017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the time with these daemons has been obsolete for over a decade.
146117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
146217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181126:
146317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	On amd64, arm64 and armv7 (architectures that install LLVM's ld.lld
146417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	linker as /usr/bin/ld) GNU ld is no longer installed as ld.bfd, as
146517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	it produces broken binaries when ifuncs are in use.  Users needing
146617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	GNU ld should install the binutils port or package.
146717101a25SAlexander Leidinger
146817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181123:
146917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The BSD crtbegin and crtend code has been enabled by default. It has
147017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	had extensive testing on amd64, arm64, and i386. It can be disabled
147117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	by building a world with -DWITHOUT_BSD_CRTBEGIN.
147217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
147317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181115:
147417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The set of CTM commands (ctm, ctm_smail, ctm_rmail, ctm_dequeue)
147517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	has been converted to a port (misc/ctm) and will be removed from
147617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	FreeBSD-13.  It is available as a package (ctm) for all supported
147717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	FreeBSD versions.
147817101a25SAlexander Leidinger
147917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181110:
148017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The default newsyslog.conf(5) file has been changed to only include
148117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	files in /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ and /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ if
148217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the filenames end in '.conf' and do not begin with a '.'.
148317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
148417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	You should check the configuration files in these two directories match
148517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	this naming convention. You can verify which configuration files are
148617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	being included using the command:
148717101a25SAlexander Leidinger		$ newsyslog -Nrv
148817101a25SAlexander Leidinger
1489cb0259b6SWarner Losh20181019:
1490cb0259b6SWarner Losh	Stable/12 was branched created.
1491cb0259b6SWarner Losh
149217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181015:
149317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Ports for the DRM modules have been simplified. Now, amd64 users should
149417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	just install the drm-kmod port. All others should install
149517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	drm-legacy-kmod.
149617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
149717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Graphics hardware that's newer than about 2010 usually works with
149817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	drm-kmod.  For hardware older than 2013, however, some users will need
149917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to use drm-legacy-kmod if drm-kmod doesn't work for them. Hardware older
150017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	than 2008 usually only works in drm-legacy-kmod. The graphics team can
150117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	only commit to hardware made since 2013 due to the complexity of the
150217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	market and difficulty to test all the older cards effectively. If you
150317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	have hardware supported by drm-kmod, you are strongly encouraged to use
150417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	that as you will get better support.
150517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
150617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Other than KPI chasing, drm-legacy-kmod will not be updated. As outlined
150717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	elsewhere, the drm and drm2 modules will be eliminated from the src base
150817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	soon (with a limited exception for arm). Please update to the package
150917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	asap and report any issues to x11@freebsd.org.
151017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
151117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Generally, anybody using the drm*-kmod packages should add
151217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	WITHOUT_DRM_MODULE=t and WITHOUT_DRM2_MODULE=t to avoid nasty
151317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	cross-threading surprises, especially with automatic driver
151417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	loading from X11 startup. These will become the defaults in 13-current
151517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	shortly.
151617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
151717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181012:
151817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The ixlv(4) driver has been renamed to iavf(4).  As a consequence,
151917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	custom kernel and module loading configuration files must be updated
152017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	accordingly.  Moreover, interfaces previous presented as ixlvN to the
152117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	system are now exposed as iavfN and network configuration files must
152217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	be adjusted as necessary.
152317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
152417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181009:
152517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.1.1.  This update included
152617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	additional various API changes throughout the base system.  It is
152717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	important to rebuild third-party software after upgrading.  The value
152817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	of __FreeBSD_version has been bumped accordingly.
152917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
153017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181006:
153117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The legacy DRM modules and drivers have now been added to the loader's
153217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	module blacklist, in favor of loading them with kld_list in rc.conf(5).
153317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The module blacklist may be overridden with the loader.conf(5)
153417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	'module_blacklist' variable, but loading them via rc.conf(5) is strongly
153517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	encouraged.
153617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
153717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181002:
153817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The cam(4) based nda(4) driver will be used over nvd(4) by default on
153917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	powerpc64. You may set 'options NVME_USE_NVD=1' in your kernel conf or
154017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	loader tunable 'hw.nvme.use_nvd=1' if you wish to use the existing
154117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	driver.  Make sure to edit /boot/etc/kboot.conf and fstab to use the
154217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	nda device name.
154317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
154417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180913:
154517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Reproducible build mode is now on by default, in preparation for
154617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	FreeBSD 12.0.  This eliminates build metadata such as the user,
154717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	host, and time from the kernel (and uname), unless the working tree
154817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	corresponds to a modified checkout from a version control system.
154917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The previous behavior can be obtained by setting the /etc/src.conf
155017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	knob WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD.
155117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
155217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180826:
155317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The Yarrow CSPRNG has been removed from the kernel as it has not been
155417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	supported by its designers since at least 2003. Fortuna has been the
155517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	default since FreeBSD-11.
155617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
155717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180822:
155817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	devctl freeze/thaw have gone into the tree, the rc scripts have been
155917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	updated to use them and devmatch has been changed.  You should update
156017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	kernel, userland and rc scripts all at the same time.
156117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
156217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180818:
156317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua.
156417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7), will override the default
156517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	interpreter.  If you have custom FORTH code you will need to set
156617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in
156717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	src.conf for the build.  This will create default hard links between
156817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	loader and loader_4th instead of loader and loader_lua, the new default.
156917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	If you are using UEFI it will create the proper hard link to loader.efi.
157017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
157117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	bhyve uses userboot.so. It remains 4th-only until some issues are solved
157217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	regarding coexisting with multiple versions of FreeBSD are resolved.
157317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
157417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180815:
157517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ls(1) now respects the COLORTERM environment variable used in other
157617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	systems and software to indicate that a colored terminal is both
157717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	supported and desired.  If ls(1) is suddenly emitting colors, they may
157817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	be disabled again by either removing the unwanted COLORTERM from your
157917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	environment, or using `ls --color=never`.  The ls(1) specific CLICOLOR
158017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	may not be observed in a future release.
158117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
158217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180808:
158317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The default pager for most commands has been changed to "less".  To
158417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	restore the old behavior, set PAGER="more" and MANPAGER="more -s" in
158517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	your environment.
158617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
158717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180731:
158817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The jedec_ts(4) driver has been removed. A superset of its functionality
158917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	is available in the jedec_dimm(4) driver, and the manpage for that
159017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	driver includes migration instructions. If you have "device jedec_ts"
159117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	in your kernel configuration file, it must be removed.
159217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
159317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180730:
159417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	amd64/GENERIC now has EFI runtime services, EFIRT, enabled by default.
159517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	This should have no effect if the kernel is booted via BIOS/legacy boot.
159617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	EFIRT may be disabled via a loader tunable, efi.rt.disabled, if a system
159717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	has a buggy firmware that prevents a successful boot due to use of
159817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	runtime services.
159917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
160017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180727:
160117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Atmel AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM9, Cavium CNS 11xx and XScale
160217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	support has been removed from the tree. These ports were
160317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	obsolete and/or known to be broken for many years.
160417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
160517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180723:
160617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	loader.efi has been augmented to participate more fully in the
160717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	UEFI boot manager protocol. loader.efi will now look at the
160817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	BootXXXX environment variable to determine if a specific kernel
160917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	or root partition was specified. XXXX is derived from BootCurrent.
161017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	efibootmgr(8) manages these standard UEFI variables.
161117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
161217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180720:
161317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	zfsloader's functionality has now been folded into loader.
161417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	zfsloader is no longer necessary once you've updated your
161517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	boot blocks. For a transition period, we will install a
161617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	hardlink for zfsloader to loader to allow a smooth transition
161717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	until the boot blocks can be updated (hard link because old
161817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	zfs boot blocks don't understand symlinks).
161917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
162017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180719:
162117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ARM64 now have efifb support, if you want to have serial console
162217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	on your arm64 board when an screen is connected and the bootloader
162317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	setup a frame buffer for us to use, just add :
162417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	boot_serial=YES
162517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	boot_multicons=YES
162617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	in /boot/loader.conf
162717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	For Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI) users, this is needed even if you don't have
162817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	an screen connected as the firmware will setup a frame buffer are that
162917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	u-boot will expose as an EFI frame buffer.
163017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
163117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180719:
163217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	New uid:gid added, ntpd:ntpd (123:123).  Be sure to run mergemaster
163317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	or take steps to update /etc/passwd before doing installworld on
163417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	existing systems.  Do not skip the "mergemaster -Fp" step before
163517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	installworld, as described in the update procedures near the bottom
163617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	of this document.  Also, rc.d/ntpd now starts ntpd(8) as user ntpd
163717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	if the new mac_ntpd(4) policy is available, unless ntpd_flags or
163817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the ntp config file contain options that change file/dir locations.
163917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	When such options (e.g., "statsdir" or "crypto") are used, ntpd can
164017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	still be run as non-root by setting ntpd_user=ntpd in rc.conf, after
164117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	taking steps to ensure that all required files/dirs are accessible
164217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	by the ntpd user.
164317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
164417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180717:
164517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Big endian arm support has been removed.
164617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
164717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180711:
164817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The static environment setup in kernel configs is no longer mutually
164917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	exclusive with the loader(8) environment by default.  In order to
165017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	restore the previous default behavior of disabling the loader(8)
165117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	environment if a static environment is present, you must specify
165217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	loader_env.disabled=1 in the static environment.
165317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
165417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180705:
165517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The ABI of syscalls used by management tools like sockstat and
165617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	netstat has been broken to allow 32-bit binaries to work on
165717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	64-bit kernels without modification.  These programs will need
165817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to match the kernel in order to function.  External programs may
165917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	require minor modifications to accommodate a change of type in
166017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	structures from pointers to 64-bit virtual addresses.
166117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
166217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180702:
166317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	On i386 and amd64 atomics are now inlined. Out of tree modules using
166417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	atomics will need to be rebuilt.
166517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
166617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180701:
166717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The '%I' format in the kern.corefile sysctl limits the number of
166817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	core files that a process can generate to the number stored in the
166917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	debug.ncores sysctl. The '%I' format is replaced by the single digit
167017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	index. Previously, if all indexes were taken the kernel would overwrite
167117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	only a core file with the highest index in a filename.
167217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Currently the system will create a new core file if there is a free
167317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	index or if all slots are taken it will overwrite the oldest one.
167417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
167517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180630:
167617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to
167717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	6.0.1.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about
167817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0
167917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	or higher.
168017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
168117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180628:
168217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r335753 introduced a new quoting method. However, etc/devd/devmatch.conf
168317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	needed to be changed to work with it. This change was made with r335763
168417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	and requires a mergemaster / etcupdate / etc to update the installed
168517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	file.
168617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
168717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180612:
168817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r334930 changed the interface between the NFS modules, so they all
168917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	need to be rebuilt.  r335018 did a __FreeBSD_version bump for this.
169017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
169117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180530:
169217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	As of r334391 lld is the default amd64 system linker; it is installed
169317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	as /usr/bin/ld.  Kernel build workarounds (see 20180510 entry) are no
169417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	longer necessary.
169517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
169617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180530:
169717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The kernel / userland interface for devinfo changed, so you'll
169817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	need a new kernel and userland as a pair for it to work (rebuilding
169917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	lib/libdevinfo is all that's required). devinfo and devmatch will
170017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	not work, but everything else will when there's a mismatch.
170117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
170217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180523:
170317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The on-disk format for hwpmc callchain records has changed to include
170417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	threadid corresponding to a given record. This changes the field offsets
170517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	and thus requires that libpmcstat be rebuilt before using a kernel
170617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	later than r334108.
170717101a25SAlexander Leidinger
170817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180517:
170917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The vxge(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was introduced into
171017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	HEAD one week before the Exar left the Ethernet market and is not
171117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	known to be used.  If you have device vxge in your kernel config file
171217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	it must be removed.
171317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
171417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180510:
171517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The amd64 kernel now requires a ld that supports ifunc to produce a
171617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	working kernel, either lld or a newer binutils. lld is built by default
171717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	on amd64, and the 'buildkernel' target uses it automatically. However,
171817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	it is not the default linker, so building the kernel the traditional
171917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	way requires LD=ld.lld on the command line (or LD=/usr/local/bin/ld for
172017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	binutils port/package). lld will soon be default, and this requirement
172117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	will go away.
172217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
172317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	NOTE: As of r334391 lld is the default system linker on amd64, and no
172417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	workaround is necessary.
172517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
172617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180508:
172717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The nxge(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was for PCI-X 10g
172817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	cards made by s2io/Neterion.  The company was acquired by Exar and
172917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	no longer sells or supports Ethernet products.  If you have device
173017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	nxge in your kernel config file it must be removed.
173117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
173217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180504:
173317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The tz database (tzdb) has been updated to 2018e.  This version more
173417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	correctly models time stamps in time zones with negative DST such as
173517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Europe/Dublin (from 1971 on), Europe/Prague (1946/7), and
173617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Africa/Windhoek (1994/2017).  This does not affect the UT offsets, only
173717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	time zone abbreviations and the tm_isdst flag.
173817101a25SAlexander Leidinger
173917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180502:
174017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The ixgb(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was for an early and
174117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	uncommon legacy PCI 10GbE for a single ASIC, Intel 82597EX. Intel
174217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	quickly shifted to the long lived ixgbe family.  If you have device
174317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ixgb in your kernel config file it must be removed.
174417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
174517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180501:
174617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The lmc(4) driver has been removed.  This was a WAN interface
174717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	card that was already reportedly rare in 2003, and had an ambiguous
174817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	license.  If you have device lmc in your kernel config file it must
174917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	be removed.
175017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
175117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180413:
175217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Support for Arcnet networks has been removed.  If you have device
175317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	arcnet or device cm in your kernel config file they must be
175417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	removed.
175517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
175617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180411:
175717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Support for FDDI networks has been removed.  If you have device
175817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	fddi or device fpa in your kernel config file they must be
175917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	removed.
176017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
176117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180406:
176217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	In addition to supporting RFC 3164 formatted messages, the
176317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	syslogd(8) service is now capable of parsing RFC 5424 formatted
176417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	log messages. The main benefit of using RFC 5424 is that clients
176517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	may now send log messages with timestamps containing year numbers,
176617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	microseconds and time zone offsets.
176717101a25SAlexander Leidinger
176817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Similarly, the syslog(3) C library function has been altered to
176917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	send RFC 5424 formatted messages to the local system logging
177017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	daemon. On systems using syslogd(8), this change should have no
177117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	negative impact, as long as syslogd(8) and the C library are
177217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	updated at the same time. On systems using a different system
177317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	logging daemon, it may be necessary to make configuration
177417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	adjustments, depending on the software used.
177517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
177617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	When using syslog-ng, add the 'syslog-protocol' flag to local
177717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	input sources to enable parsing of RFC 5424 formatted messages:
177817101a25SAlexander Leidinger
177917101a25SAlexander Leidinger		source src {
178017101a25SAlexander Leidinger			unix-dgram("/var/run/log" flags(syslog-protocol));
178117101a25SAlexander Leidinger		}
178217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
178317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	When using rsyslog, disable the 'SysSock.UseSpecialParser' option
178417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	of the 'imuxsock' module to let messages be processed by the
178517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	regular RFC 3164/5424 parsing pipeline:
178617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
178717101a25SAlexander Leidinger		module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.UseSpecialParser="off")
178817101a25SAlexander Leidinger
178917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Do note that these changes only affect communication between local
179017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	applications and syslogd(8). The format that syslogd(8) uses to
179117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	store messages on disk or forward messages to other systems
179217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	remains unchanged. syslogd(8) still uses RFC 3164 for these
179317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	purposes. Options to customize this behaviour will be added in the
179417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	future. Utilities that process log files stored in /var/log are
179517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	thus expected to continue to function as before.
179617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
179717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	__FreeBSD_version has been incremented to 1200061 to denote this
179817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	change.
179917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
180017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180328:
180117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Support for token ring networks has been removed. If you
180217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	have "device token" in your kernel config you should remove
180317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	it. No device drivers supported token ring.
180417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
180517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180323:
180617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	makefs was modified to be able to tag ISO9660 El Torito boot catalog
180717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	entries as EFI instead of overloading the i386 tag as done previously.
180817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The amd64 mkisoimages.sh script used to build amd64 ISO images for
180917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	release was updated to use this. This may mean that makefs must be
181017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	updated before "make cdrom" can be run in the release directory. This
181117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	should be as simple as:
181217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
181317101a25SAlexander Leidinger		$ cd $SRCDIR/usr.sbin/makefs
181417101a25SAlexander Leidinger		$ make depend all install
181517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
181617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180212:
181717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	FreeBSD boot loader enhanced with Lua scripting. It's purely opt-in for
181817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	now by building WITH_LOADER_LUA and WITHOUT_FORTH in /etc/src.conf.
181917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Co-existence for the transition period will come shortly. Booting is a
182017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	complex environment and test coverage for Lua-enabled loaders has been
182117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	thin, so it would be prudent to assume it might not work and make
182217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	provisions for backup boot methods.
182317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
182417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180211:
182517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	devmatch functionality has been turned on in devd. It will automatically
182617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	load drivers for unattached devices. This may cause unexpected drivers
182717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to be loaded. Please report any problems to current@ and
182817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	imp@freebsd.org.
182917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
183017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180114:
183117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to
183217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	6.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about
183317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0
183417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	or higher.
183517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
183617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180110:
183717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	LLVM's lld linker is now used as the FreeBSD/amd64 bootstrap linker.
183817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	This means it is used to link the kernel and userland libraries and
183917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	executables, but is not yet installed as /usr/bin/ld by default.
184017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
184117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	To revert to ld.bfd as the bootstrap linker, in /etc/src.conf set
184217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	WITHOUT_LLD_BOOTSTRAP=yes
184317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
184417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180110:
184517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	On i386, pmtimer has been removed. Its functionality has been folded
184617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	into apm. It was a no-op on ACPI in current for a while now (but was
184717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	still needed on i386 in FreeBSD 11 and earlier). Users may need to
184817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	remove it from kernel config files.
184917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
185017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180104:
185117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The use of RSS hash from the network card aka flowid has been
185217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	disabled by default for lagg(4) as it's currently incompatible with
185317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the lacp and loadbalance protocols.
185417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
185517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	This can be re-enabled by setting the following in loader.conf:
185617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	net.link.lagg.default_use_flowid="1"
185717101a25SAlexander Leidinger

186817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171214:
186917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r362593 broke ZFS + GELI support for reasons unknown. However,
187017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	it also broke ZFS support generally, so GELI has been turned off
187117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	by default as the lesser evil in r326857. If you boot off ZFS and/or

198617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Since the switch to GPT disk labels, fsck for UFS/FFS has been
198717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	unable to automatically find alternate superblocks. As of r322297,
198817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the information needed to find alternate superblocks has been

201517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The FreeBSD/powerpc platform now uses a 64-bit type for time_t.  This is
201617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	a very major ABI incompatible change, so users of FreeBSD/powerpc must
201717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	be careful when performing source upgrades.  It is best to run
201817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	'make installworld' from an alternate root system, either a live
201917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	CD/memory stick, or a temporary root partition.  Additionally, all ports

207217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
207317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
207417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
207517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	If you want to selectively load things (eg on cheaper ARM/MIPS
207617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:

209117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
209217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	If using a custom kernel configuration ensure that the

209517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
209617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	For the safest in-place upgrade begin by removing previous build

209917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	install it on the current system."  Specifically, a reboot is required
210017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	after installing the new kernel before installing world. While an
210117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	installworld normally works by accident from multiuser after rebooting
210217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the proper kernel, there are many cases where this will fail across this

211517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170413:
211617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	As of r316810 for ipfilter, keep frags is no longer assumed when
211717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	keep state is specified in a rule. r316810 aligns ipfilter with
211817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	documentation in man pages separating keep frags from keep state.
211917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	This allows keep state to be specified without forcing keep frags
212017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	and allows keep frags to be specified independently of keep state.
212117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	To maintain previous behaviour, also specify keep frags with
212217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	keep state (as documented in ipf.conf.5).
212317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
212417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170407:
212517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	arm64 builds now use the base system LLD 4.0.0 linker by default,
212617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	instead of requiring that the aarch64-binutils port or package be
212717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	installed. To continue using aarch64-binutils, set
212817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	CROSS_BINUTILS_PREFIX=/usr/local/aarch64-freebsd/bin .
212917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
213017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170405:
213117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The UDP optimization in entry 20160818 that added the sysctl
213217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast has been reverted.  L2 broadcast
213317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	packets will no longer be treated as L3 broadcast packets.
213417101a25SAlexander Leidinger
213517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170331:
213617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Binds and sends to the loopback addresses, IPv6 and IPv4, will now
213717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	use any explicitly assigned loopback address available in the jail
213817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	instead of using the first assigned address of the jail.
213917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
214017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170329:
214117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The ctl.ko module no longer implements the iSCSI target frontend:
214217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	cfiscsi.ko does instead.
214317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
214417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	If building cfiscsi.ko as a kernel module, the module can be loaded
214517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	via one of the following methods:
214617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	- `cfiscsi_load="YES"` in loader.conf(5).
214717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	- Add `cfiscsi` to `$kld_list` in rc.conf(5).
214817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	- ctladm(8)/ctld(8), when compiled with iSCSI support
214917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	  (`WITH_ISCSI=yes` in src.conf(5))
215017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
215117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Please see cfiscsi(4) for more details.
215217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
215317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170316:
215417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The mmcsd.ko module now additionally depends on geom_flashmap.ko.
215517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Also, mmc.ko and mmcsd.ko need to be a matching pair built from the
215617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	same source (previously, the dependency of mmcsd.ko on mmc.ko was
215717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	missing, but mmcsd.ko now will refuse to load if it is incompatible
215817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	with mmc.ko).
215917101a25SAlexander Leidinger
216017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170315:
216117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The syntax of ipfw(8) named states was changed to avoid ambiguity.
216217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	If you have used named states in the firewall rules, you need to modify
216317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	them after installworld and before rebooting. Now named states must
216417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	be prefixed with colon.
216517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
216617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170311:
216717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The old drm (sys/dev/drm/) drivers for i915 and radeon have been
216817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	removed as the userland we provide cannot use them. The KMS version
216917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	(sys/dev/drm2) supports the same hardware.
217017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
217117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170302:
217217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 4.0.0.
217317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites

217517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
217617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170221:
217717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The code that provides support for ZFS .zfs/ directory functionality
217817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	has been reimplemented.  It's not possible now to create a snapshot
217917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	by mkdir under .zfs/snapshot/.  That should be the only user visible
218017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	change.
218117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
218217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170216:
218317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	EISA bus support has been removed. The WITH_EISA option is no longer
218417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	valid.
218517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
218617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170215:
218717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	MCA bus support has been removed.
218817101a25SAlexander Leidinger
218917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170127:
219017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The WITH_LLD_AS_LD / WITHOUT_LLD_AS_LD build knobs have been renamed
219117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	WITH_LLD_IS_LD / WITHOUT_LLD_IS_LD, for consistency with CLANG_IS_CC.
219217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
219317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170112:
219417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The EM_MULTIQUEUE kernel configuration option is deprecated now that
219517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	the em(4) driver conforms to iflib specifications.
219617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
219717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170109:
219817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The igb(4), em(4) and lem(4) ethernet drivers are now implemented via
219917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	IFLIB.  If you have a custom kernel configuration that excludes em(4)
220017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	but you use igb(4), you need to re-add em(4) to your custom
220117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	configuration.
220217101a25SAlexander Leidinger
220317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20161217:
220417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 3.9.1.

221317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20161119:
221417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The layout of the pmap structure has changed for powerpc to put the pmap
221517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	statistics at the front for all CPU variations.  libkvm(3) and all tools
221617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	that link against it need to be recompiled.
221717101a25SAlexander Leidinger
221817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20161030:
221917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	isl(4) and cyapa(4) drivers now require a new driver,
222017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	chromebook_platform(4), to work properly on Chromebook-class hardware.
222117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	On other types of hardware the drivers may need to be configured using
222217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	device hints.  Please see the corresponding manual pages for details.
222317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
222417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20161017:
222517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The urtwn(4) driver was merged into rtwn(4) and now consists of
222617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	rtwn(4) main module + rtwn_usb(4) and rtwn_pci(4) bus-specific
222717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	parts.
222817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Also, firmware for RTL8188CE was renamed due to possible name
222917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	conflict (rtwnrtl8192cU(B) -> rtwnrtl8192cE(B))
223017101a25SAlexander Leidinger
223117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20161015:
223217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	GNU rcs has been removed from base.  It is available as packages:
223317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	- rcs: Latest GPLv3 GNU rcs version.
223417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	- rcs57: Copy of the latest version of GNU rcs (GPLv2) before it was
223517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	removed from base.
223617101a25SAlexander Leidinger
223717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20161008:
223817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Use of the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd, or cc_vegas congestion control
223917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	modules now requires that the kernel configuration contain the
224017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	TCP_HHOOK option. (This option is included in the GENERIC kernel.)
224117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
224217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20161003:
224317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY src.conf(5) knob has been retired.
224417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy is always installed as /usr/bin/objcopy.
224517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
224617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20160924:
224717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Relocatable object files with the extension of .So have been renamed
224817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to use an extension of .pico instead.  The purpose of this change is
224917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to avoid a name clash with shared libraries on case-insensitive file
225017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	systems.  On those file systems, foo.So is the same file as foo.so.
225117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
225217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20160918:
225317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	GNU rcs has been turned off by default.  It can (temporarily) be built
225417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	again by adding WITH_RCS knob in src.conf.
225517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Otherwise, GNU rcs is available from packages:
225617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	- rcs: Latest GPLv3 GNU rcs version.

225917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20160918:
226017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The backup_uses_rcs functionality has been removed from rc.subr.
226117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
226217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20160908:
226317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The queue(3) debugging macro, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG, has been split into
226417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	two separate components, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRACE and
226517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRASH.  Define both for the original
226617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG behavior.
226717101a25SAlexander Leidinger
226817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20160824:
226917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	r304787 changed some ioctl interfaces between the iSCSI userspace
227017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	programs and the kernel.  ctladm, ctld, iscsictl, and iscsid must be
227117101a25SAlexander Leidinger	rebuilt to work with new kernels.  __FreeBSD_version has been bumped
227217101a25SAlexander Leidinger	to 1200005.
227317101a25SAlexander Leidinger
227417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20160818:
227517101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The UDP receive code has been updated to only treat incoming UDP
227617101a25SAlexander Leidinger	packets that were addressed to an L2 broadcast address as L3
227717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	broadcast packets.  It is not expected that this will affect any
227817101a25SAlexander Leidinger	standards-conforming UDP application.  The new behaviour can be
227917101a25SAlexander Leidinger	disabled by setting the sysctl net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast to
228017101a25SAlexander Leidinger	0.
228117101a25SAlexander Leidinger
228217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20160818:
228317101a25SAlexander Leidinger	Remove the openbsd_poll system call.
228417101a25SAlexander Leidinger	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
228517101a25SAlexander Leidinger
228617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20160708:
228717101a25SAlexander Leidinger	The stable/11 branch has been created from head@r302406.

2296a24eff53SWarner Losh	General Notes
2297a24eff53SWarner Losh	-------------
22985780f3baSWarner Losh	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
22995780f3baSWarner Losh	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
2300456b5dd8SWarner Losh	environment when searching for values for global variables.  To run
2301456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make
2302456b5dd8SWarner Losh	commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual page for more details.
230316ae8351SEd Maste	Occasionally a build failure will occur with "make -j" due to a race
230416ae8351SEd Maste	condition.  If this happens try building again without -j, and please
230516ae8351SEd Maste	report a bug if it happens consistently.
23065780f3baSWarner Losh
23075ad05815SWarner Losh	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to
23085ad05815SWarner Losh	upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then
23095ad05815SWarner Losh	do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path,
23105ad05815SWarner Losh	and has the highest probability of being successful.  Please try this
23115ad05815SWarner Losh	approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade.  Since
231244c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgrade from
23135ad05815SWarner Losh	anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the
23145ad05815SWarner Losh	last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's

231756cd269eSEd Maste	The update process will emit an error on an attempt to perform a build
231856cd269eSEd Maste	or install from a FreeBSD version below the earliest supported version.
231956cd269eSEd Maste	When updating from an older version the update should be performed one

23358fc25799SMartin Matuska	ZFS notes
23368fc25799SMartin Matuska	---------
23370cd61266SWarner Losh	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version (via zpool upgrade),
23380cd61266SWarner Losh	always follow these three steps:
23398fc25799SMartin Matuska
23400cd61266SWarner Losh	1) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
23418fc25799SMartin Matuska	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
23428fc25799SMartin Matuska
23430cd61266SWarner Losh	2) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive (only required when
23440cd61266SWarner Losh	doing a zpool upgrade):
23458fc25799SMartin Matuska
23460cd61266SWarner Losh	When booting on x86 via BIOS, use the following to update the ZFS boot
23470cd61266SWarner Losh	block on the freebsd-boot partition of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
23480cd61266SWarner Losh		gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i $N ada0
23490cd61266SWarner Losh	The value $N will typically be 1.  For EFI booting, see EFI notes.
23500cd61266SWarner Losh
23510cd61266SWarner Losh	3) zpool upgrade the root pool. New bootblocks will work with old
23520cd61266SWarner Losh	pools, but not vice versa, so they need to be updated before any
23530cd61266SWarner Losh	zpool upgrade.
23548fc25799SMartin Matuska
23558fc25799SMartin Matuska	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.
23568fc25799SMartin Matuska
23570cd61266SWarner Losh	EFI notes
23580cd61266SWarner Losh	---------
23590cd61266SWarner Losh
23600cd61266SWarner Losh	There are two locations the boot loader can be installed into. The
23610cd61266SWarner Losh	current location (and the default) is \efi\freebsd\loader.efi and using
23620cd61266SWarner Losh	efibootmgr(8) to configure it. The old location, that must be used on
23630cd61266SWarner Losh	deficient systems that don't honor efibootmgr(8) protocols, is the
23640cd61266SWarner Losh	fallback location of \EFI\BOOT\BOOTxxx.EFI. Generally, you will copy
23650cd61266SWarner Losh	/boot/loader.efi to this location, but on systems installed a long time
23660cd61266SWarner Losh	ago the ESP may be too small and /boot/boot1.efi may be needed unless
23670cd61266SWarner Losh	the ESP has been expanded in the meantime.
23680cd61266SWarner Losh
23690cd61266SWarner Losh	Recent systems will have the ESP mounted on /boot/efi, but older ones
23700cd61266SWarner Losh	may not have it mounted at all, or mounted in a different
23710cd61266SWarner Losh	location. Older arm SD images with MBR used /boot/msdos as the

23740cd61266SWarner Losh	The EFI boot loader rarely needs to be updated. For ZFS booting,
23750cd61266SWarner Losh	however, you must update loader.efi before you do 'zpool upgrade' the
23760cd61266SWarner Losh	root zpool, otherwise the old loader.efi may reject the upgraded zpool
23770cd61266SWarner Losh	since it does not automatically understand some new features.
23780cd61266SWarner Losh
23790cd61266SWarner Losh	See loader.efi(8) and uefi(8) for more details.

2456fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
2457fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
2458fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
2459fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
2460fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	the UPDATING entries.
2461ba26da8eSWarner Losh
24621dece4a9SWarner Losh	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
24631dece4a9SWarner Losh	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
24641dece4a9SWarner Losh	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
24651dece4a9SWarner Losh	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
24661dece4a9SWarner Losh	much fewer pitfalls.

2468fe830c3bSAlexander ZiaeeFOOTNOTES:
2469fe830c3bSAlexander Ziaee
2470fe830c3bSAlexander Ziaee	[1] If you have third party modules, such as drm-kmod or vmware, you
2471fe830c3bSAlexander Ziaee	should disable them at this point so they don't crash your system on
2472d2799054SWarner Losh	reboot. Alternatively, you should rebuild all the modules you have in
2473d2799054SWarner Losh	your system and install them as well.  If you are running -current, you
2474d2799054SWarner Losh	should seriously consider placing all sources to all the modules for
2475d2799054SWarner Losh	your system (or symlinks to them) in /usr/local/sys/modules so this
2476d2799054SWarner Losh	happens automatically. If all your modules come from ports, then adding
2477d2799054SWarner Losh	the port origin directories to PORTS_MODULES instead is also automatic
2478d2799054SWarner Losh	and effective, eg:
2479dcef6ce8SAlexander Ziaee	     PORTS_MODULES+=graphics/drm-kmod graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod
2480134d2e86SWarner Losh
2481ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee	[2] To make complete dumps on zfs(4), use bectl(8), which
2482ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee	creates bootable snapshots of configurable depth that are
2483ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee	selectable via the bootloader. For ufs(4), use dump(8) and
2484ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee	restore(8).
2485ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee
2486ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh	[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
2487ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		fsck -p
2488ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -u /
2489ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -a

24918ed2d94aSWarner Losh		cd src			# full path to source
249247d0d01fSWarner Losh		adjkerntz -i		# if CMOS is wall time
2493d2799054SWarner Losh	Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that you boot
2494d2799054SWarner Losh	into single user mode to do the installworld.
2495ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh
2496a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step
2497a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
2498a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
2499a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
2500a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
2501e641c29aSDries Michiels	for potential gotchas.  See etcupdate(8) for more information.
2502a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh
250344c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	[5] Usually this step is a no-op.  However, from time to time
2504835284beSWarner Losh	you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
2505e641c29aSDries Michiels	step.
2506835284beSWarner Losh
250794877c06SAlexander Leidinger	[6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries
250894877c06SAlexander Leidinger	can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
250994877c06SAlexander Leidinger	sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.
251094877c06SAlexander Leidinger
2511ed651a74SWarner Losh	[8] The new kernel must be able to run existing binaries used by an
2512ed651a74SWarner Losh	installworld.  When upgrading across major versions, the new kernel's
2513ed651a74SWarner Losh	configuration must include the correct COMPAT_FREEBSD<n> option for
2514ed651a74SWarner Losh	existing binaries (e.g. COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to run 11.x binaries).  Failure
2515ed651a74SWarner Losh	to do so may leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover. A
2516ed651a74SWarner Losh	GENERIC kernel will include suitable compatibility options to run
2517ed651a74SWarner Losh	binaries from older branches.  Note that the ability to run binaries
2518ed651a74SWarner Losh	from unsupported branches is not guaranteed.
2519c74fe6afSWarner Losh
2520e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
25218ed2d94aSWarner Losh	last time you updated your kernel config file. Options also
25228ed2d94aSWarner Losh	change over time, so you may need to adjust your custom kernels
25238ed2d94aSWarner Losh	for these as well.
2524e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
2525e5f5a852SEitan Adler	[9] If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
2526e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
2527e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
2528e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
2529e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
2530e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
2531e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	warn if it is improperly defined.
