14NOTE: FreeBSD has switched from gcc to clang. If you have trouble bootstrapping
15from older versions of FreeBSD, try WITHOUT_CLANG and WITH_GCC to bootstrap to
16the tip of head, and then rebuild without this option. The bootstrap process from
17older version of current across the gcc/clang cutover is a bit fragile.
18
19NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 11.x IS SLOW:
20	FreeBSD 11.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel
21	and userland.  These features attempt to detect incorrect use of
22	system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity
23	checking and fail stop semantics.  They also substantially impact
24	system performance.  If you want to do performance measurement,
25	benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off.  This
26	includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc
27	debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the
28	kernel.  Many developers choose to disable these features on build
29	machines to maximize performance.  (To completely disable malloc
30	debugging, define MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf, or to merely
31	disable the most expensive debugging functionality run
32	"ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".)
33
3420150521:
35	TI platform code switched to using vendor DTS files and this update
36	may break existing systems running on Beaglebone, Beaglebone Black,
37	and Pandaboard:
38
39	- dtb files should be regenerated/reinstalled. Filenames are the
40	  same but content is different now
41	- GPIO addressing was changed, now each GPIO bank (32 pins per bank)
42	  has its own /dev/gpiocX device, e.g. pin 121 on /dev/gpioc0 in old
43	  addressing scheme is now pin 25 on /dev/gpioc3.
44	- Pandaboard: /etc/ttys should be updated, serial console device is
45	  now /dev/ttyu2, not /dev/ttyu0
46
4720150501:
48	soelim(1) from gnu/usr.bin/groff has been replaced by usr.bin/soelim.
49	If you need the GNU extension from groff soelim(1), install groff
50	from package: pkg install groff, or via ports: textproc/groff.
51
5220150423:
53	chmod, chflags, chown and chgrp now affect symlinks in -R mode as
54	defined in symlink(7); previously symlinks were silently ignored.
55
5620150415:
57	The const qualifier has been removed from iconv(3) to comply with
58	POSIX.  The ports tree is aware of this from r384038 onwards.
59
6020150416:
61	Libraries specified by LIBADD in Makefiles must have a corresponding
62	DPADD_<lib> variable to ensure correct dependencies.  This is now
63	enforced in src.libnames.mk.
64
6520150324:
66	From legacy ata(4) driver was removed support for SATA controllers
67	supported by more functional drivers ahci(4), siis(4) and mvs(4).
68	Kernel modules ataahci and ataadaptec were removed completely,
69	replaced by ahci and mvs modules respectively.
70
7120150315:
72	Clang, llvm and lldb have been upgraded to 3.6.0 release.  Please see
73	the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites and
74	upgrading, if you are not already using 3.5.0 or higher.
75
7620150307:
77	The 32-bit PowerPC kernel has been changed to a position-independent
78	executable. This can only be booted with a version of loader(8)
79	newer than January 31, 2015, so make sure to update both world and
80	kernel before rebooting.
81
8220150217:
83	If you are running a -CURRENT kernel since r273872 (Oct 30th, 2014),
84	but before r278950, the RNG was not seeded properly.  Immediately
85	upgrade the kernel to r278950 or later and regenerate any keys (e.g.
86	ssh keys or openssl keys) that were generated w/ a kernel from that
87	range.  This does not affect programs that directly used /dev/random
88	or /dev/urandom.  All userland uses of arc4random(3) are affected.
89
9020150210:
91	The autofs(4) ABI was changed in order to restore binary compatibility
92	with 10.1-RELEASE.  The automountd(8) daemon needs to be rebuilt to work
93	with the new kernel.
94
9520150131:
96	The powerpc64 kernel has been changed to a position-independent
97	executable. This can only be booted with a new version of loader(8),
98	so make sure to update both world and kernel before rebooting.
99
10020150118:
101	Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.5.1 release.  This is a bugfix
102	only release, no new features have been added.  Please see the 20141231
103	entry below for information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you
104	are not already using 3.5.0.
105
10620150107:
107	ELF tools addr2line, elfcopy (strip), nm, size, and strings are now
108	taken from the ELF Tool Chain project rather than GNU binutils. They
109	should be drop-in replacements, with the addition of arm64 support.
110	The WITHOUT_ELFTOOLCHAIN_TOOLS= knob may be used to obtain the
111	binutils tools, if necessary.
112
11320150105:
114	The default Unbound configuration now enables remote control
115	using a local socket.  Users who have already enabled the
116	local_unbound service should regenerate their configuration
117	by running "service local_unbound setup" as root.
118
11920150102:
120	The GNU texinfo and GNU info pages have been removed.
121	To be able to view GNU info pages please install texinfo from ports.
122
12320141231:
124	Clang, llvm and lldb have been upgraded to 3.5.0 release.
125
126	As of this release, a prerequisite for building clang, llvm and lldb is
127	a C++11 capable compiler and C++11 standard library.  This means that to
128	be able to successfully build the cross-tools stage of buildworld, with
129	clang as the bootstrap compiler, your system compiler or cross compiler
130	should either be clang 3.3 or later, or gcc 4.8 or later, and your
131	system C++ library should be libc++, or libdstdc++ from gcc 4.8 or
132	later.
133
134	On any standard FreeBSD 10.x or 11.x installation, where clang and
135	libc++ are on by default (that is, on x86 or arm), this should work out
136	of the box.
137
138	On 9.x installations where clang is enabled by default, e.g. on x86 and
139	powerpc, libc++ will not be enabled by default, so libc++ should be
140	built (with clang) and installed first.  If both clang and libc++ are
141	missing, build clang first, then use it to build libc++.
142
143	On 8.x and earlier installations, upgrade to 9.x first, and then follow
144	the instructions for 9.x above.
145
146	Sparc64 and mips users are unaffected, as they still use gcc 4.2.1 by
147	default, and do not build clang.
148
149	Many embedded systems are resource constrained, and will not be able to
150	build clang in a reasonable time, or in some cases at all.  In those
151	cases, cross building bootable systems on amd64 is a workaround.
152
153	This new version of clang introduces a number of new warnings, of which
154	the following are most likely to appear:
155
156	-Wabsolute-value
157
158	This warns in two cases, for both C and C++:
159	* When the code is trying to take the absolute value of an unsigned
160	  quantity, which is effectively a no-op, and almost never what was
161	  intended.  The code should be fixed, if at all possible.  If you are
162	  sure that the unsigned quantity can be safely cast to signed, without
163	  loss of information or undefined behavior, you can add an explicit
164	  cast, or disable the warning.
165
166	* When the code is trying to take an absolute value, but the called
167	  abs() variant is for the wrong type, which can lead to truncation.
168	  If you want to disable the warning instead of fixing the code, please
169	  make sure that truncation will not occur, or it might lead to unwanted
170	  side-effects.
171
172	-Wtautological-undefined-compare and
173	-Wundefined-bool-conversion
174
175	These warn when C++ code is trying to compare 'this' against NULL, while
176	'this' should never be NULL in well-defined C++ code.  However, there is
177	some legacy (pre C++11) code out there, which actively abuses this
178	feature, which was less strictly defined in previous C++ versions.
179
180	Squid and openjdk do this, for example.  The warning can be turned off
181	for C++98 and earlier, but compiling the code in C++11 mode might result
182	in unexpected behavior; for example, the parts of the program that are
183	unreachable could be optimized away.
184
18520141222:
186	The old NFS client and server (kernel options NFSCLIENT, NFSSERVER)
187	kernel sources have been removed. The .h files remain, since some
188	utilities include them. This will need to be fixed later.
189	If "mount -t oldnfs ..." is attempted, it will fail.
190	If the "-o" option on mountd(8), nfsd(8) or nfsstat(1) is used,
191	the utilities will report errors.
192
19320141121:
194	The handling of LOCAL_LIB_DIRS has been altered to skip addition of
195	directories to top level SUBDIR variable when their parent
196	directory is included in LOCAL_DIRS.  Users with build systems with
197	such hierarchies and without SUBDIR entries in the parent
198	directory Makefiles should add them or add the directories to
199	LOCAL_DIRS.
200
20120141109:
202	faith(4) and faithd(8) have been removed from the base system. Faith
203	has been obsolete for a very long time.
204
20520141104:
206	vt(4), the new console driver, is enabled by default. It brings
207	support for Unicode and double-width characters, as well as
208	support for UEFI and integration with the KMS kernel video
209	drivers.
210
211	You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf,
212	most probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will
213	indicate what you need to do.
214
215	vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to
216	syscons(4). See the wiki for up-to-date information:
217	  https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
218
219	If you want to keep using syscons(4), you can do so by adding
220	the following line to /boot/loader.conf:
221	  kern.vty=sc
222
22320141102:
224	pjdfstest has been integrated into kyua as an opt-in test suite.
225	Please see share/doc/pjdfstest/README for more details on how to
226	execute it.
227
22820141009:
229	gperf has been removed from the base system for architectures
230	that use clang. Ports that require gperf will obtain it from the
231	devel/gperf port.
232
23320140923:
234	pjdfstest has been moved from tools/regression/pjdfstest to
235	contrib/pjdfstest .
236
23720140922:
238	At svn r271982, The default linux compat kernel ABI has been adjusted
239	to 2.6.18 in support of the linux-c6 compat ports infrastructure
240	update.  If you wish to continue using the linux-f10 compat ports,
241	add compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 to your local sysctl.conf.  Users are
242	encouraged to update their linux-compat packages to linux-c6 during
243	their next update cycle.
244
24520140729:
246	The ofwfb driver, used to provide a graphics console on PowerPC when
247	using vt(4), no longer allows mmap() of all physical memory. This
248	will prevent Xorg on PowerPC with some ATI graphics cards from
249	initializing properly unless x11-servers/xorg-server is updated to
250	1.12.4_8 or newer.
251
25220140723:
253	The xdev targets have been converted to using TARGET and
254	TARGET_ARCH instead of XDEV and XDEV_ARCH.
255
25620140719:
257	The default unbound configuration has been modified to address
258	issues with reverse lookups on networks that use private
259	address ranges.  If you use the local_unbound service, run
260	"service local_unbound setup" as root to regenerate your
261	configuration, then "service local_unbound reload" to load the
262	new configuration.
263
26420140709:
265	The GNU texinfo and GNU info pages are not built and installed
266	anymore, WITH_INFO knob has been added to allow to built and install
267	them again.
268	UPDATE: see 20150102 entry on texinfo's removal
269
27020140708:
271	The GNU readline library is now an INTERNALLIB - that is, it is
272	statically linked into consumers (GDB and variants) in the base
273	system, and the shared library is no longer installed.  The
274	devel/readline port is available for third party software that
275	requires readline.
276
27720140702:
278	The Itanium architecture (ia64) has been removed from the list of
279	known architectures. This is the first step in the removal of the
280	architecture.
281
28220140701:
283	Commit r268115 has added NFSv4.1 server support, merged from
284	projects/nfsv4.1-server.  Since this includes changes to the
285	internal interfaces between the NFS related modules, a full
286	build of the kernel and modules will be necessary.
287	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped.
288
28920140629:
290	The WITHOUT_VT_SUPPORT kernel config knob has been renamed
291	WITHOUT_VT.  (The other _SUPPORT knobs have a consistent meaning
292	which differs from the behaviour controlled by this knob.)
293
29420140619:
295	Maximal length of the serial number in CTL was increased from 16 to
296	64 chars, that breaks ABI.  All CTL-related tools, such as ctladm
297	and ctld, need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
298
29920140606:
300	The libatf-c and libatf-c++ major versions were downgraded to 0 and
301	1 respectively to match the upstream numbers.  They were out of
302	sync because, when they were originally added to FreeBSD, the
303	upstream versions were not respected.  These libraries are private
304	and not yet built by default, so renumbering them should be a
305	non-issue.  However, unclean source trees will yield broken test
306	programs once the operator executes "make delete-old-libs" after a
307	"make installworld".
308
309	Additionally, the atf-sh binary was made private by moving it into
310	/usr/libexec/.  Already-built shell test programs will keep the
311	path to the old binary so they will break after "make delete-old"
312	is run.
313
314	If you are using WITH_TESTS=yes (not the default), wipe the object
315	tree and rebuild from scratch to prevent spurious test failures.
316	This is only needed once: the misnumbered libraries and misplaced
317	binaries have been added to OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc so they will
318	be removed during a clean upgrade.
319
32020140512:
321	Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.4.1 release.
322
32320140508:
324	We bogusly installed src.opts.mk in /usr/share/mk. This file should
325	be removed to avoid issues in the future (and has been added to
326	ObsoleteFiles.inc).
327
32820140505:
329	/etc/src.conf now affects only builds of the FreeBSD src tree. In the
330	past, it affected all builds that used the bsd.*.mk files. The old
331	behavior was a bug, but people may have relied upon it. To get this
332	behavior back, you can .include /etc/src.conf from /etc/make.conf
333	(which is still global and isn't changed). This also changes the
334	behavior of incremental builds inside the tree of individual
335	directories. Set MAKESYSPATH to ".../share/mk" to do that.
336	Although this has survived make universe and some upgrade scenarios,
337	other upgrade scenarios may have broken. At least one form of
338	temporary breakage was fixed with MAKESYSPATH settings for buildworld
339	as well... In cases where MAKESYSPATH isn't working with this
340	setting, you'll need to set it to the full path to your tree.
341
342	One side effect of all this cleaning up is that bsd.compiler.mk
343	is no longer implicitly included by bsd.own.mk. If you wish to
344	use COMPILER_TYPE, you must now explicitly include bsd.compiler.mk
345	as well.
346
34720140430:
348	The lindev device has been removed since /dev/full has been made a
349	standard device.  __FreeBSD_version has been bumped.
350
35120140424:
352	The knob WITHOUT_VI was added to the base system, which controls
353	building ex(1), vi(1), etc. Older releases of FreeBSD required ex(1)
354	in order to reorder files share/termcap and didn't build ex(1) as a
355	build tool, so building/installing with WITH_VI is highly advised for
356	build hosts for older releases.
357
358	This issue has been fixed in stable/9 and stable/10 in r277022 and
359	r276991, respectively.
360
36120140418:
362	The YES_HESIOD knob has been removed. It has been obsolete for
363	a decade. Please move to using WITH_HESIOD instead or your builds
364	will silently lack HESIOD.
365
36620140405:
367	The uart(4) driver has been changed with respect to its handling
368	of the low-level console. Previously the uart(4) driver prevented
369	any process from changing the baudrate or the CLOCAL and HUPCL
370	control flags. By removing the restrictions, operators can make
371	changes to the serial console port without having to reboot.
372	However, when getty(8) is started on the serial device that is
373	associated with the low-level console, a misconfigured terminal
374	line in /etc/ttys will now have a real impact.
375	Before upgrading the kernel, make sure that /etc/ttys has the
376	serial console device configured as 3wire without baudrate to
377	preserve the previous behaviour. E.g:
378	    ttyu0  "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"  vt100  on  secure
379
38020140306:
381	Support for libwrap (TCP wrappers) in rpcbind was disabled by default
382	to improve performance.  To re-enable it, if needed, run rpcbind
383	with command line option -W.
384
38520140226:
386	Switched back to the GPL dtc compiler due to updates in the upstream
387	dts files not being supported by the BSDL dtc compiler. You will need
388	to rebuild your kernel toolchain to pick up the new compiler. Core dumps
389	may result while building dtb files during a kernel build if you fail
390	to do so. Set WITHOUT_GPL_DTC if you require the BSDL compiler.
391
39220140216:
393	Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.4 release.
394
39520140216:
396	The nve(4) driver has been removed.  Please use the nfe(4) driver
397	for NVIDIA nForce MCP Ethernet adapters instead.
398
39920140212:
400	An ABI incompatibility crept into the libc++ 3.4 import in r261283.
401	This could cause certain C++ applications using shared libraries built
402	against the previous version of libc++ to crash.  The incompatibility
403	has now been fixed, but any C++ applications or shared libraries built
404	between r261283 and r261801 should be recompiled.
405
40620140204:
407	OpenSSH will now ignore errors caused by kernel lacking of Capsicum
408	capability mode support.  Please note that enabling the feature in
409	kernel is still highly recommended.
410
41120140131:
412	OpenSSH is now built with sandbox support, and will use sandbox as
413	the default privilege separation method.  This requires Capsicum
414	capability mode support in kernel.
415
41620140128:
417	The libelf and libdwarf libraries have been updated to newer
418	versions from upstream. Shared library version numbers for
419	these two libraries were bumped. Any ports or binaries
420	requiring these two libraries should be recompiled.
421	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1100006.
422
42320140110:
424	If a Makefile in a tests/ directory was auto-generating a Kyuafile
425	instead of providing an explicit one, this would prevent such
426	Makefile from providing its own Kyuafile in the future during
427	NO_CLEAN builds.  This has been fixed in the Makefiles but manual
428	intervention is needed to clean an objdir if you use NO_CLEAN:
429	  # find /usr/obj -name Kyuafile | xargs rm -f
430
43120131213:
432	The behavior of gss_pseudo_random() for the krb5 mechanism
433	has changed, for applications requesting a longer random string
434	than produced by the underlying enctype's pseudo-random() function.
435	In particular, the random string produced from a session key of
436	enctype aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 or aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 will
437	be different at the 17th octet and later, after this change.
438	The counter used in the PRF+ construction is now encoded as a
439	big-endian integer in accordance with RFC 4402.
440	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1100004.
441
44220131108:
443	The WITHOUT_ATF build knob has been removed and its functionality
444	has been subsumed into the more generic WITHOUT_TESTS.  If you were
445	using the former to disable the build of the ATF libraries, you
446	should change your settings to use the latter.
447
44820131025:
449	The default version of mtree is nmtree which is obtained from
450	NetBSD.  The output is generally the same, but may vary
451	slightly.  If you found you need identical output adding
452	"-F freebsd9" to the command line should do the trick.  For the
453	time being, the old mtree is available as fmtree.
454
45520131014:
456	libbsdyml has been renamed to libyaml and moved to /usr/lib/private.
457	This will break ports-mgmt/pkg. Rebuild the port, or upgrade to pkg
458	1.1.4_8 and verify bsdyml not linked in, before running "make
459	delete-old-libs":
460	  # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg build deinstall install clean
461	  or
462	  # pkg install pkg; ldd /usr/local/sbin/pkg | grep bsdyml

46420131010:
465	The rc.d/jail script has been updated to support jail(8)
466	configuration file.  The "jail_<jname>_*" rc.conf(5) variables
467	for per-jail configuration are automatically converted to
468	/var/run/jail.<jname>.conf before the jail(8) utility is invoked.
469	This is transparently backward compatible.  See below about some
470	incompatibilities and rc.conf(5) manual page for more details.
471
472	These variables are now deprecated in favor of jail(8) configuration
473	file.  One can use "rc.d/jail config <jname>" command to generate
474	a jail(8) configuration file in /var/run/jail.<jname>.conf without
475	running the jail(8) utility.   The default pathname of the
476	configuration file is /etc/jail.conf and can be specified by
477	using $jail_conf or $jail_<jname>_conf variables.
478
479	Please note that jail_devfs_ruleset accepts an integer at
480	this moment.  Please consider to rewrite the ruleset name
481	with an integer.
482
48320130930:
484	BIND has been removed from the base system.  If all you need
485	is a local resolver, simply enable and start the local_unbound
486	service instead.  Otherwise, several versions of BIND are
487	available in the ports tree.   The dns/bind99 port is one example.
488
489	With this change, nslookup(1) and dig(1) are no longer in the base
490	system.  Users should instead use host(1) and drill(1) which are
491	in the base system.  Alternatively, nslookup and dig can
492	be obtained by installing the dns/bind-tools port.
493
49420130916:
495	With the addition of unbound(8), a new unbound user is now
496	required during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used to
497	add the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
498
49920130911:
500	OpenSSH is now built with DNSSEC support, and will by default
501	silently trust signed SSHFP records.  This can be controlled with
502	the VerifyHostKeyDNS client configuration setting.  DNSSEC support
503	can be disabled entirely with the WITHOUT_LDNS option in src.conf.
504
50520130906:
506	The GNU Compiler Collection and C++ standard library (libstdc++)
507	are no longer built by default on platforms where clang is the system
508	compiler.  You can enable them with the WITH_GCC and WITH_GNUCXX
509	options in src.conf.
510
51120130905:
512	The PROCDESC kernel option is now part of the GENERIC kernel
513	configuration and is required for the rwhod(8) to work.
514	If you are using custom kernel configuration, you should include
515	'options PROCDESC'.
516
51720130905:
518	The API and ABI related to the Capsicum framework was modified
519	in backward incompatible way. The userland libraries and programs
520	have to be recompiled to work with the new kernel. This includes the
521	following libraries and programs, but the whole buildworld is
522	advised: libc, libprocstat, dhclient, tcpdump, hastd, hastctl,
523	kdump, procstat, rwho, rwhod, uniq.
524
52520130903:
526	AES-NI intrinsic support has been added to gcc.  The AES-NI module
527	has been updated to use this support.  A new gcc is required to build
528	the aesni module on both i386 and amd64.
529
53020130821:
531	The PADLOCK_RNG and RDRAND_RNG kernel options are now devices.
532	Thus "device padlock_rng" and "device rdrand_rng" should be
533	used instead of "options PADLOCK_RNG" & "options RDRAND_RNG".
534
53520130813:
536	WITH_ICONV has been split into two feature sets.  WITH_ICONV now
537	enables just the iconv* functionality and is now on by default.
538	WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT enables the libiconv api and link time
539	compatability.  Set WITHOUT_ICONV to build the old way.
540	If you have been using WITH_ICONV before, you will very likely
541	need to turn on WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT.
542
54320130806:
544	INVARIANTS option now enables DEBUG for code with OpenSolaris and
545	Illumos origin, including ZFS.  If you have INVARIANTS in your
546	kernel configuration, then there is no need to set DEBUG or ZFS_DEBUG
547	explicitly.
548	DEBUG used to enable witness(9) tracking of OpenSolaris (mostly ZFS)
549	locks if WITNESS option was set.  Because that generated a lot of
550	witness(9) reports and all of them were believed to be false
551	positives, this is no longer done.  New option OPENSOLARIS_WITNESS
552	can be used to achieve the previous behavior.
553
55420130806:
555	Timer values in IPv6 data structures now use time_uptime instead
556	of time_second.  Although this is not a user-visible functional
557	change, userland utilities which directly use them---ndp(8),
558	rtadvd(8), and rtsold(8) in the base system---need to be updated
559	to r253970 or later.
560
56120130802:
562	find -delete can now delete the pathnames given as arguments,
563	instead of only files found below them or if the pathname did
564	not contain any slashes. Formerly, the following error message
565	would result:
566
567	find: -delete: <path>: relative path potentially not safe
568
569	Deleting the pathnames given as arguments can be prevented
570	without error messages using -mindepth 1 or by changing
571	directory and passing "." as argument to find. This works in the
572	old as well as the new version of find.
573
57420130726:
575	Behavior of devfs rules path matching has been changed.
576	Pattern is now always matched against fully qualified devfs
577	path and slash characters must be explicitly matched by
578	slashes in pattern (FNM_PATHNAME). Rulesets involving devfs
579	subdirectories must be reviewed.
580
58120130716:
582	The default ARM ABI has changed to the ARM EABI. The old ABI is
583	incompatible with the ARM EABI and all programs and modules will
584	need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
585
586	To keep using the old ABI ensure the WITHOUT_ARM_EABI knob is set.
587
588	NOTE: Support for the old ABI will be removed in the future and
589	users are advised to upgrade.
590
59120130709:
592	pkg_install has been disconnected from the build if you really need it
593	you should add WITH_PKGTOOLS in your src.conf(5).
594
59520130709:
596	Most of network statistics structures were changed to be able
597	keep 64-bits counters. Thus all tools, that work with networking
598	statistics, must be rebuilt (netstat(1), bsnmpd(1), etc.)
599
60020130629:
601	Fix targets that run multiple make's to use && rather than ;
602	so that subsequent steps depend on success of previous.
603
604	NOTE: if building 'universe' with -j* on stable/8 or stable/9
605	it would be better to start the build using bmake, to avoid
606	overloading the machine.
607
60820130618:
609	Fix a bug that allowed a tracing process (e.g. gdb) to write
610	to a memory-mapped file in the traced process's address space
611	even if neither the traced process nor the tracing process had
612	write access to that file.
613
61420130615:
615	CVS has been removed from the base system.  An exact copy
616	of the code is available from the devel/cvs port.
617
61820130613:
619	Some people report the following error after the switch to bmake:
620
621		make: illegal option -- J
622		usage: make [-BPSXeiknpqrstv] [-C directory] [-D variable]
623			...
624		*** [buildworld] Error code 2
625
626	this likely due to an old instance of make in
627	${MAKEPATH} (${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}/make.${MACHINE})
628	which src/Makefile will use that blindly, if it exists, so if
629	you see the above error:
630
631		rm -rf `make -V MAKEPATH`
632
633	should resolve it.
634
63520130516:
636	Use bmake by default.
637	Whereas before one could choose to build with bmake via
638	-DWITH_BMAKE one must now use -DWITHOUT_BMAKE to use the old
639	make. The goal is to remove these knobs for 10-RELEASE.
640
641	It is worth noting that bmake (like gmake) treats the command
642	line as the unit of failure, rather than statements within the
643	command line.  Thus '(cd some/where && dosomething)' is safer
644	than 'cd some/where; dosomething'. The '()' allows consistent
645	behavior in parallel build.
646
64720130429:
648        Fix a bug that allows NFS clients to issue READDIR on files.
649
65020130426:
651	The WITHOUT_IDEA option has been removed because
652	the IDEA patent expired.
653
65420130426:
655	The sysctl which controls TRIM support under ZFS has been renamed
656	from vfs.zfs.trim_disable -> vfs.zfs.trim.enabled and has been
657	enabled by default.
658
65920130425:
660	The mergemaster command now uses the default MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
661	rather than creating it's own in the temporary directory in
662	order allow access to bootstrapped versions of tools such as
663	install and mtree.  When upgrading from version of FreeBSD where
664	the install command does not support -l, you will need to
665	install a new mergemaster command if mergemaster -p is required.
666	This can be accomplished with the command (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster
667	&& make install).
668
66920130404:
670	Legacy ATA stack, disabled and replaced by new CAM-based one since
671	FreeBSD 9.0, completely removed from the sources.  Kernel modules
672	atadisk and atapi*, user-level tools atacontrol and burncd are
673	removed.  Kernel option `options ATA_CAM` is now permanently enabled
674	and removed.
675
67620130319:
677	SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK flags have been added to socket(2)
678	and socketpair(2). Software, in particular Kerberos, may
679	automatically detect and use these during building. The resulting
680	binaries will not work on older kernels.
681
68220130308:
683	CTL_DISABLE has also been added to the sparc64 GENERIC (for further
684	information, see the respective 20130304 entry).
685
68620130304:
687	Recent commits to callout(9) changed the size of struct callout,
688	so the KBI is probably heavily disturbed. Also, some functions
689	in callout(9)/sleep(9)/sleepqueue(9)/condvar(9) KPIs were replaced
690	by macros. Every kernel module using it won't load, so rebuild
691	is requested.
692
693	The ctl device has been re-enabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64,
694	but does not initialize by default (because of the new CTL_DISABLE
695	option) to save memory.  To re-enable it, remove the CTL_DISABLE
696	option from the kernel config file or set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0
697	in /boot/loader.conf.
698
69920130301:
700	The ctl device has been disabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64.
701	This was done due to the extra memory being allocated at system
702	initialisation time by the ctl driver which was only used if
703	a CAM target device was created.  This makes a FreeBSD system
704	unusable on 128MB or less of RAM.
705
70620130208:
707	A new compression method (lz4) has been merged to -HEAD.  Please
708	refer to zpool-features(7) for more information.
709
710	Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
711	on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
712
71320130129:
714	A BSD-licensed patch(1) variant has been added and is installed
715	as bsdpatch, being the GNU version the default patch.
716	To inverse the logic and use the BSD-licensed one as default,
717	while having the GNU version installed as gnupatch, rebuild
718	and install world with the WITH_BSD_PATCH knob set.
719
72020130121:
721	Due to the use of the new -l option to install(1) during build
722	and install, you must take care not to directly set the INSTALL
723	make variable in your /etc/make.conf, /etc/src.conf, or on the
724	command line.  If you wish to use the -C flag for all installs
725	you may be able to add INSTALL+=-C to /etc/make.conf or
726	/etc/src.conf.
727
72820130118:
729	The install(1) option -M has changed meaning and now takes an
730	argument that is a file or path to append logs to.  In the
731	unlikely event that -M was the last option on the command line
732	and the command line contained at least two files and a target
733	directory the first file will have logs appended to it.  The -M
734	option served little practical purpose in the last decade so its
735	use is expected to be extremely rare.
736
73720121223:
738	After switching to Clang as the default compiler some users of ZFS
739	on i386 systems started to experience stack overflow kernel panics.
740	Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=4' in such configurations.
741
74220121222:
743	GEOM_LABEL now mangles label names read from file system metadata.
744	Mangling affect labels containing spaces, non-printable characters,
745	'%' or '"'. Device names in /etc/fstab and other places may need to
746	be updated.
747
74820121217:
749	By default, only the 10 most recent kernel dumps will be saved.  To
750	restore the previous behaviour (no limit on the number of kernel dumps
751	stored in the dump directory) add the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
752
753		savecore_flags=""
754
75520121201:
756	With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
757	required during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used to
758	add the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
759
76020121117:
761	The sin6_scope_id member variable in struct sockaddr_in6 is now
762	filled by the kernel before passing the structure to the userland via
763	sysctl or routing socket.  This means the KAME-specific embedded scope
764	id in sin6_addr.s6_addr[2] is always cleared in userland application.
765	This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid.
766	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1000025.
767
76820121105:
769	On i386 and amd64 systems WITH_CLANG_IS_CC is now the default.
770	This means that the world and kernel will be compiled with clang
771	and that clang will be installed as /usr/bin/cc, /usr/bin/c++,
772	and /usr/bin/cpp.  To disable this behavior and revert to building
773	with gcc, compile with WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC. Really old versions
774	of current may need to bootstrap WITHOUT_CLANG first if the clang
775	build fails (its compatibility window doesn't extend to the 9 stable
776	branch point).
777
77820121102:
779	The IPFIREWALL_FORWARD kernel option has been removed. Its
780	functionality now turned on by default.
781
78220121023:
783	The ZERO_COPY_SOCKET kernel option has been removed and
784	split into SOCKET_SEND_COW and SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP.
785	NB: SOCKET_SEND_COW uses the VM page based copy-on-write
786	mechanism which is not safe and may result in kernel crashes.
787	NB: The SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP mechanism is useless as no current
788	driver supports disposeable external page sized mbuf storage.
789	Proper replacements for both zero-copy mechanisms are under
790	consideration and will eventually lead to complete removal
791	of the two kernel options.
792
79320121023:
794	The IPv4 network stack has been converted to network byte
795	order. The following modules need to be recompiled together
796	with kernel: carp(4), divert(4), gif(4), siftr(4), gre(4),
797	pf(4), ipfw(4), ng_ipfw(4), stf(4).
798
79920121022:
800	Support for non-MPSAFE filesystems was removed from VFS. The
801	VFS_VERSION was bumped, all filesystem modules shall be
802	recompiled.
803
80420121018:
805	All the non-MPSAFE filesystems have been disconnected from
806	the build. The full list includes: codafs, hpfs, ntfs, nwfs,
807	portalfs, smbfs, xfs.
808
80920121016:
810	The interface cloning API and ABI has changed. The following
811	modules need to be recompiled together with kernel:
812	ipfw(4), pfsync(4), pflog(4), usb(4), wlan(4), stf(4),
813	vlan(4), disc(4), edsc(4), if_bridge(4), gif(4), tap(4),
814	faith(4), epair(4), enc(4), tun(4), if_lagg(4), gre(4).
815
81620121015:
817	The sdhci driver was split in two parts: sdhci (generic SD Host
818	Controller logic) and sdhci_pci (actual hardware driver).
819	No kernel config modifications are required, but if you
820	load sdhc as a module you must switch to sdhci_pci instead.
821
82220121014:
823	Import the FUSE kernel and userland support into base system.
824
82520121013:
826	The GNU sort(1) program has been removed since the BSD-licensed
827	sort(1) has been the default for quite some time and no serious
828	problems have been reported.  The corresponding WITH_GNU_SORT
829	knob has also gone.
830
83120121006:
832	The pfil(9) API/ABI for AF_INET family has been changed. Packet
833	filtering modules: pf(4), ipfw(4), ipfilter(4) need to be recompiled
834	with new kernel.
835
83620121001:
837	The net80211(4) ABI has been changed to allow for improved driver
838	PS-POLL and power-save support.  All wireless drivers need to be
839	recompiled to work with the new kernel.
840
84120120913:
842	The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
843	generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
844	Add the padlock_rng device in the custom kernel config if
845	needed.  The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
846	device, so the change only affects the custom kernel
847	configurations.
848
84920120908:
850	The pf(4) packet filter ABI has been changed. pfctl(8) and
851	snmp_pf module need to be recompiled to work with new kernel.
852
85320120828:
854	A new ZFS feature flag "com.delphix:empty_bpobj" has been merged
855	to -HEAD. Pools that have empty_bpobj in active state can not be
856	imported read-write with ZFS implementations that do not support
857	this feature. For more information read the zpool-features(5)
858	manual page.
859
86020120727:
861	The sparc64 ZFS loader has been changed to no longer try to auto-
862	detect ZFS providers based on diskN aliases but now requires these
863	to be explicitly listed in the OFW boot-device environment variable.
864
86520120712:
866	The OpenSSL has been upgraded to 1.0.1c.  Any binaries requiring
867	libcrypto.so.6 or libssl.so.6 must be recompiled.  Also, there are
868	configuration changes.  Make sure to merge /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.
869
87020120712:
871	The following sysctls and tunables have been renamed for consistency
872	with other variables:
873	  kern.cam.da.da_send_ordered   -> kern.cam.da.send_ordered
874	  kern.cam.ada.ada_send_ordered -> kern.cam.ada.send_ordered
875
87620120628:
877	The sort utility has been replaced with BSD sort.  For now, GNU sort
878	is also available as "gnusort" or the default can be set back to
879	GNU sort by setting WITH_GNU_SORT.  In this case, BSD sort will be
880	installed as "bsdsort".
881
88220120611:
883	A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged to -HEAD.
884	Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
885	is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
886	compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
887	pools. The first read-only compatible "feature flag" for ZFS pools
888	is named "com.delphix:async_destroy". For more information
889	read the new zpool-features(5) manual page.
890	Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
891	on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
892
89320120417:
894	The malloc(3) implementation embedded in libc now uses sources imported
895	as contrib/jemalloc.  The most disruptive API change is to
896	/etc/malloc.conf.  If your system has an old-style /etc/malloc.conf,
897	delete it prior to installworld, and optionally re-create it using the
898	new format after rebooting.  See malloc.conf(5) for details
899	(specifically the TUNING section and the "opt.*" entries in the MALLCTL
900	NAMESPACE section).
901
90220120328:
903	Big-endian MIPS TARGET_ARCH values no longer end in "eb".  mips64eb
904	is now spelled mips64.  mipsn32eb is now spelled mipsn32.  mipseb is
905	now spelled mips.  This is to aid compatibility with third-party
906	software that expects this naming scheme in uname(3).  Little-endian
907	settings are unchanged. If you are updating a big-endian mips64 machine
908	from before this change, you may need to set MACHINE_ARCH=mips64 in
909	your environment before the new build system will recognize your machine.
910
91120120306:
912	Disable by default the option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE for all supported
913	platforms.
914
91520120229:
916	Now unix domain sockets behave "as expected" on	nullfs(5). Previously
917	nullfs(5) did not pass through all behaviours to the underlying layer,
918	as a result if we bound to a socket on the lower layer we could connect
919	only to the lower path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect
920	only to	the upper path. The new behavior is one can connect to both the
921	lower and the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to.
922
92320120211:
924	The getifaddrs upgrade path broken with 20111215 has been restored.
925	If you have upgraded in between 20111215 and 20120209 you need to
926	recompile libc again with your kernel.  You still need to recompile
927	world to be able to configure CARP but this restriction already
928	comes from 20111215.
929
93020120114:
931	The set_rcvar() function has been removed from /etc/rc.subr.  All
932	base and ports rc.d scripts have been updated, so if you have a
933	port installed with a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d you can either
934	hand-edit the rcvar= line, or reinstall the port.
935
936	An easy way to handle the mass-update of /etc/rc.d:
937	rm /etc/rc.d/* && mergemaster -i
938
93920120109:
940	panic(9) now stops other CPUs in the SMP systems, disables interrupts
941	on the current CPU and prevents other threads from running.
942	This behavior can be reverted using the kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic
943	tunable/sysctl.
944	The new behavior can be incompatible with kern.sync_on_panic.
945
94620111215:
947	The carp(4) facility has been changed significantly. Configuration
948	of the CARP protocol via ifconfig(8) has changed, as well as format
949	of CARP events submitted to devd(8) has changed. See manual pages
950	for more information. The arpbalance feature of carp(4) is currently
951	not supported anymore.
952
953	Size of struct in_aliasreq, struct in6_aliasreq has changed. User
954	utilities using SIOCAIFADDR, SIOCAIFADDR_IN6, e.g. ifconfig(8),
955	need to be recompiled.
956
95720111122:
958	The acpi_wmi(4) status device /dev/wmistat has been renamed to
959	/dev/wmistat0.
960
96120111108:
962	The option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE option has been added in order to
963	explicitely support non-MPSAFE filesystems.
964	It is on by default for all supported platform at this present
965	time.
966
96720111101:
968	The broken amd(4) driver has been replaced with esp(4) in the amd64,
969	i386 and pc98 GENERIC kernel configuration files.
970
97120110930:
972	sysinstall has been removed
973
97420110923:
975	The stable/9 branch created in subversion.  This corresponds to the
976	RELENG_9 branch in CVS.
977
978COMMON ITEMS:
979
980	General Notes
981	-------------
982	Avoid using make -j when upgrading.  While generally safe, there are
983	sometimes problems using -j to upgrade.  If your upgrade fails with
984	-j, please try again without -j.  From time to time in the past there
985	have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld.  This
986	is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one
987	that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when
988	several months have passed on the -current branch).
989
990	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
991	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
992	environment when searching for values for global variables.  To run
993	your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make
994	commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual page for more details.
995
996	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best
997	to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first,
998	then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade
999	path, and has the highest probability of being successful.  Please try
1000	this approach before reporting problems with a major version upgrade.
1001
1002	When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before
1003	installing anything can help undo problems. Not having a root shell
1004	around can lead to problems if pam has changed too much from your
1005	starting point to allow continued authentication after the upgrade.
1006
1007	ZFS notes
1008	---------
1009	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow
1010	these two steps:
1011
1012	1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
1013	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
1014
1015	2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive
1016
1017	The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first
1018	partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
1019	"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0"
1020
1021	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.
1022
1023	To build a kernel
1024	-----------------
1025	If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
1026	a few days old), you should follow this procedure.  It is the most
1027	failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
1028
1029	make kernel-toolchain
1030	make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1031	make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1032
1033	To test a kernel once
1034	---------------------
1035	If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
1036	if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
1037	debugging information) run
1038	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
1039	nextboot -k testkernel
1040
1041	To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1042	--------------------------------------------------------------
1043	This assumes you are already running a CURRENT system.  Replace
1044	${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1045	"arm", "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", "powerpc", "mips", etc).
1046
1047	cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
1048	config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1049	cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1050	make depend
1051	make
1052	make install
1053
1054	If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
1055
1056	To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
1057	-----------------------------------------------------------
1058	# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
1059	# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
1060
1061	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1062	make buildworld
1063	make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1064							[1]
1065	<reboot in single user>				[3]
1066	mergemaster -Fp					[5]
1067	make installworld
1068	mergemaster -Fi					[4]
1069	make delete-old					[6]
1070	<reboot>
1071
1072	To cross-install current onto a separate partition
1073	--------------------------------------------------
1074	# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
1075	# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories.   A partition
1076	# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
1077	# size.
1078
1079	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1080	<boot into -stable>
1081	make buildworld
1082	make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1083	<maybe newfs current's root partition>
1084	<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
1085	make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} -DDB_FROM_SRC
1086	make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
1087	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
1088	cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab 		   # if newfs'd
1089	<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
1090	<reboot into current>
1091	<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
1092	<maybe install compatibility libraries from ports/misc/compat*>
1093	<reboot>
1094
1095
1096	To upgrade in-place from stable to current
1097	----------------------------------------------
1098	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1099	make buildworld					[9]
1100	make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE		[8]
1101							[1]
1102	<reboot in single user>				[3]
1103	mergemaster -Fp					[5]
1104	make installworld
1105	mergemaster -Fi					[4]
1106	make delete-old					[6]
1107	<reboot>
1108
1109	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1110	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
1111	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
1112	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
1113	the UPDATING entries.
1114
1115	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
1116	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
1117	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
1118	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
1119	much fewer pitfalls.
1120
1121	[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
1122	should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
1123	system on reboot.
1124
1125	[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
1126		fsck -p
1127		mount -u /
1128		mount -a
1129		cd src
1130		adjkerntz -i		# if CMOS is wall time
1131	Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
1132	you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
1133
1134	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step
1135	can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
1136	system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
1137	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
1138	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
1139	for potential gotchas.  The -U option is also useful to consider.
1140	See mergemaster(8) for more information.
1141
1142	[5] Usually this step is a noop.  However, from time to time
1143	you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
1144	step.  It never hurts to do it all the time.  You may need to
1145	install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make
1146	install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated
1147	from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430.
1148
1149	[6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries
1150	can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
1151	sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.
1152
1153	[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to
1154	do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in
1155	your kernel.  Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is
1156	hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is
1157	required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.  And so on
1158	for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7.
1159
1160	Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
1161	last time you updated your kernel config file.
1162
1163	[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
1164	cvs prune empty directories.
1165
1166	If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
1167	"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
1168	override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
1169
1170	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
1171	not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
1172	warn if it is improperly defined.
1173FORMAT:
1174
1175This file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major
1176breakages in tracking -current.  It is not guaranteed to be a complete
1177list of such breakages, and only contains entries since October 10, 2007.
1178If you need to see UPDATING entries from before that date, you will need
1179to fetch an UPDATING file from an older FreeBSD release.
