15NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 15.x IS SLOW:
16	FreeBSD 15.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel
17	and userland.  These features attempt to detect incorrect use of
18	system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity
19	checking and fail stop semantics.  They also substantially impact
20	system performance.  If you want to do performance measurement,
21	benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off.  This
22	includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc
23	debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the
24	kernel.  Many developers choose to disable these features on build
25	machines to maximize performance.  (To completely disable malloc
26	debugging, define WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/src.conf and rebuild
27	world, or to merely disable the most expensive debugging functionality
28	at runtime, run "ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".)
29
3020250515:
31	Commit 772258c89f28 changed the internal API between the nfscommon
32	and nfscl modules.  Both need to be built from updated sources.
33
3420250513:
35	The bridge(4) sysctl net.link.bridge.member_ifaddrs now defaults to 0,
36	meaning that interfaces added to a bridge may not have IP addresses
37	assigned.  Refer to bridge(4) for more information.
38
3920250507:
40	UMASS quirks and auto-quirk probing has been overhauled. CAM now won't
41	send SYNCHRONIZE CACHE unless MODE PAGE 8 is present and valid. This
42	should allow more devices to work (since the auto quirk code was updated
43	in 14 and broke several e-readers and the like). Please send imp@freebsd.org
44	any regression reports.
45
4620250504:
47	Commit 9419e086e1a3 changed the internal API between the nfscommon
48	and nfscl modules.  Both need to be built from updated sources.
49
5020250412:
51	LinuxKPI alloc routines were changed to return physically contiguous
52	memory where expected. These changes may require out-of-tree drivers
53	to be recompiled.
54	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1500037 to be able to detect this change.
55
5620250409:
57	Intel iwlwifi firmware has been removed from the src repository.
58	Before updating their system, users of iwlwifi(4) or iwx(4) must
59	install the appropriate firmware for their chipset using fwget(8) or
60	building it from ports.
61
6220250314:
63	We now use LLVM's binary utilities (nm, objcopy, etc.) by default.
64	The WITHOUT_LLVM_BINUTILS src.conf(5) knob can be used to revert to
65	ELF Tool Chain tools if desired.
66
6720250303:
68	Commit 4a77657cbc01 changed the ABI between ipfw(8) and ipfw(4).
69	Please note that the old ipfw(8) binary will not work with the new
70	ipfw(4) module. Therefore, it is recommended to disable ipfw during
71	the upgrade, otherwise the host system may become inaccessible because
72	ipfw rules cannot be installed with the old binary.
73
7420250214:
75	Commit 4517fbfd4251 modified the internal API between the
76	nfscommon and nfscl modules.  As such, both of these modules
77	need to be rebuilt from sources.
78
7920250201:
80	The NFS related daemons, that provide RPC services to the kernel:
81	gssd(8), rpcbind(8), rpc.tlsservd(8) and rpc.tlsclntd(8), now use a
82	different transport - netlink(4) socket instead of unix(4).  Users of
83	NFS need to upgrade both kernel and world (binaries and libc) at once.
84	Also, any revision between 88cd1e17a7d8 and 99e5a70046da should be
85	avoided.
86
8720250129:
88	Defer the January 19, 2038 date limit in UFS1 filesystems to
89	February 7, 2106. This affects only UFS1 format filesystems.
90	See commit message 1111a44301da for details.
91
9220250127:
93	The Allwinner a10_timer driver has been renamed to aw_driver. If you
94	have a custom kernel configuration including the line 'device
95	a10_timer', it must be adjusted to 'device aw_timer'. The same applies
96	for device exclusions with 'nodevice'.
97
9820250106:
99	A new SOC_ROCKCHIP options appeared, so if you have a custom kernel configuration
100	targetting Rockchip SoC you need to add it so shared and mandatory drivers for
101	this SoC familly will be selected.
102	Also a new rk8xx device was added, this select the base driver for Rockchip PMIC.
103
10420241223:
105	The layout of NFS file handles for the tarfs, tmpfs, cd9660, and ext2fs
106	file systems has changed.  An NFS server that exports any of these file
107	systems will need its clients to unmount and remount the exports.
108
10920241216:
110	The iwm(4) firmwares are no longer compiled as kernel modules but instead
111	shipped as raw files. For pkgbase users if you use iwm(4) you will need
112	to install the FreeBSD-firmware-iwm package.
113
11420241124:
115	The OpenBSD derived bc and dc implementations and the WITHOUT_GH_BC
116	option that allowed building them instead of the advanced version
117	imported more than 4 years ago have been removed.
118
11920241107:
120	The ng_ubt(4) driver now requires firmwares to be loaded on Realtek
121	adaptors with rtlbtfw(8) utility. It no longer attaches to devices
122	standing in bootloader mode. Firmware files are available in the
123	comms/rtlbt-firmware port.
124
12520241025:
126	The support for the rc_fast_and_loose variable has been removed from
127	rc.subr(8). Users setting rc_fast_and_loose on their systems are
128	advised to make sure their customizations to rc service scripts
129	do not depend on having a single shell environment shared across
130	all the rc service scripts during booting and shutdown.
131
13220241013:
133	The ciss driver was updated to cope better with hotplug events that
134	caused it to panic before, and to support more than 48 drives attached
135	to the card. These changes were made w/o benefit of hardware for testing
136	and ciss(4) users should be on the lookout for regressions.
137
13820240729:
139	The build now defaults to WITHOUT_CLEAN - i.e., no automatic clean
140	is performed at the beginning of buildworld or buildkernel.  The
141	WITH_CLEAN src.conf(5) knob can be used to restore the previous
142	behaviour.
143
144	If you encounter incremental build issues, please report them to the
145	freebsd-current mailing list so that a special-case dependency can be
146	added, if necessary.
147
14820240715:
149	We now lean more heavily on ACPI enumeration for some traditional
150	devices. uart has moved from isa to acpi so the hints act as wiring
151	instead of device enumeration. Hints for parallel port, floppy, etc
152	have been removed.  Before upgrading, grep your dmesg for lines like:
153		uart1: non-PNP ISA device will be removed from GENERIC in FreeBSD 15.
154	to see if you need to start including hints for the device on isa
155	in your loader.conf or device.hints file. APU1 (but not APU2) boards
156	are known to be affected, but there may be others.
157
15820240712:
159	Support for armv6 has been disconnected and is being removed.
160
16120240617:
162	ifconfig now treats IPv4 addresses without a width or mask as an error.
163	Specify the desired mask or width along with the IP address on the
164	ifconfig command line and in rc.conf.
165
16620240428:
167	OpenBSM auditing runtime (auditd, etc.) has been moved into the new
168	package FreeBSD-audit.  If you use OpenBSM auditing and pkgbase, you
169	should install FreeBSD-audit.
170
17120240424:
172	cron, lpr, and ntpd have been moved from FreeBSD-utilities into their
173	own packages.  If you use pkgbase, you should install the relevant
174	packages: FreeBSD-cron, FreeBSD-lp, or FreeBSD-ntp.
175
17620240406:
177	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
178	been upgraded to 18.1.6. It is important that you run `make delete-old`
179	as described in the COMMON ITEMS section, otherwise several libc++
180	headers that are obsolete and need to be removed can cause compilation
181	errors in C++ programs.
182
18320240205:
184	For dynamically linked programs, system calls are now made from
185	libsys rather than libc.  No change in linkage is required as
186	libsys is an auxiliary filter for libc.  People building custom
187	images must ensure that libsys.so.7 is included.
188
18920240202:
190	Loader now also read configuration files listed in local_loader_conf_files.
191	Files listed here are the last ones read. And /boot/loader.conf.local was
192	moved from loader_conf_files to local_loader_conf_files leaving only
193	loader.conf and device.hints in loader_conf_files by default.
194
195	The following sequencing is applied:
196
197	1. Bootstrap:
198	    /boot/defaults/loader.conf
199
200	2. Read loader_conf_files files:
201	    /boot/device.hints
202	    /boot/loader.conf
203
204	3. Read loader_conf_dirs files:
205	    /boot/loader.conf.d/*.conf
206
207	4. And finally, rread local_loader_conf_files files:
208	    /boot/loader.conf.local
209
21020240201:
211	sendmail 8.18.1 has been imported and merged.  This version enforces
212	stricter RFC compliance by default, especially with respect to line
213	endings.  This may cause issues with receiving messages from
214	non-compliant MTAs; please see the first 8.18.1 release note in
215	contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES for mitigations.
216
21720240111:
218	Commit cc760de2183f changed the internal interface between
219	the nfscommon and nfscl modules.  As such, both need to be
220	rebuilt from sources.  Therefore, __FreeBSD_version was
221	bumped to 1500010.
222
22320231120:
224	If you have an arm64 system that uses ACPI, you will need to update your
225	loader.efi in the ESP when you update past this point.  Detection of ACPI
226	was moved earlier in the binary so the scripts could use it, but old
227	binaries don't have this, so we default to 'no ACPI' in this case. You can
228	undisable ACPI by doing
229		OK unset hint.acpi.0.disabled
230	This can also be used to recover any other system that was updated in the
231	small window where amd64 was also broken.
232
23320231113:
234	The WITHOUT_LLD_IS_LD option has been removed.  When LLD is enabled
235	it is always installed as /usr/bin/ld.
236
23720231027:
238	Forward compatibility (running the new code on old kernels) for the
239	"ino64" project have been removed. The need for it has passed long ago.
240
24120231018:
242	Commit 57ce37f9dcd0 changed the internal KAPI between the
243	nfscommon and nfscl modules.  Both must be rebuilt from sources.
244
24520231010:
246	dialog(1) has been replaced in base by bsddialog(1), while most of the
247	time replacing a dialog(1) call by a bsddialog(1) call works out of the
248	box, bsddialog(1) is not considered as a drop-in replacement for
249	dialog(1).
250
251	If you do depend on dialog(1) functionality, please install cdialog
252	from ports:
253
254	pkg install cdialog
255
25620230927:
257	The EARLY_AP_STARTUP kernel option is mandatory on x86.  The option
258	has been added to DEFAULTS, so it should automatically be included in
259	custom kernel configurations without any additional change.
260
26120230922:
262	A new loader tunable net.pf.default_to_drop allows pf(4)’s default
263	behaviour to be changed from pass to drop. Previously this required
264	recompiling the kernel with the option PF_DEFAULT_TO_DROP.
265
26620230914:
267	Enable splitting out pkgbase manpages into separate packages by
268	default. To disable this, set WITHOUT_MANSPLITPKG=yes in src.conf.
269
27020230911:
271	Move standard include files to the clibs-dev package and move clang
272	internal libraries and headers to clang and clang-dev. Upgrading systems
273	installed using pkgbase past this change involves extra steps to allow
274	for these file moves:
275
276		pkg upgrade -y FreeBSD-utilities
277		pkg upgrade -y FreeBSD-utilities-dev
278		pkg upgrade -y
279
28020230909:
281	Enable vnet sysctl variables to be loader tunable. SYSCTLs which
282	belongs to VNETs can be initialized during early boot or module
283	loading if they are marked with CTLFLAG_TUN and there are
284	corresponding kernel environment variables.
285
28620230901:
287	The WITH_INIT_ALL_PATTERN and WITH_INIT_ALL_ZERO build options have
288	been replaced by INIT_ALL=pattern and INIT_ALL=zero respectively.
289
29020230824:
291	FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT.
292
29320230817:
294	Serial communication (in boot loaders, kernel, and userland) has
295	been changed to default to 115200 bps, in line with common industry
296	practice and typcial firmware serial console redirection
297	configuration.
298
299	Note that the early x86 BIOS bootloader (i.e., boot0sio) does not
300	support rates above 9600 bps and is not changed. boot0sio users may
301	set BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=9600 to use 9600 for all of the boot
302	components, or use the standard boot0 and have the boot2 stage start
303	with the serial port at 115200.
304
30520230807:
306	Following the general removal of MIPS support, the ath(4) AHB bus-
307	frontend has been removed, too, and building of the PCI support is
308	integrated with the ath(4) main module again. As a result, there's
309	no longer a need for if_ath_pci_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf or
310	"device ath_pci" in the kernel configuration.
311
31220230803:
313	MAXCPU has been increased to 1024 in the amd64 GENERIC kernel config.
314	Out-of-tree kernel modules will need to be rebuilt.
315
31620230724:
317	CAM has been mechanically updated s/u_int(64|32|16|8)_t/uint\1_t/g
318	to move to the standard uintXX_t types from the old, traditional
319	BSD u_intXX_t types. This should be a NOP, but may cause problems
320	for out of tree changes. The SIMs were not updated since most of
321	the old u_intXX_t uses weren't due to CAM interfaces.
322
32320230713:
324	stable/14 branch created.
325
32620230629:
327	The heuristic for detecting old chromebooks with an EC bug that requires
328	atkbdc driver workarounds has changed. There should be no functional
329	change, but if your old chromebook's keyboard stops working, please
330	file a PR and assign it to imp.
331
33220230623:
333	OpenSSL has been updated to version 3.0, including changes throughout
334	the base system.  It is important to rebuild third-party software
335	after upgrading.
336
33720230619:
338	To enable pf rdr rules for connections initiated from the host, pf
339	filter rules can be optionally enabled for packets delivered
340	locally. This can change the behavior of rules which match packets
341	delivered to lo0. To enable this feature:
342
343		sysctl net.pf.filter_local=1
344		service pf restart
345
346	When enabled, its best to ensure that packets delivered locally are not
347	filtered, e.g. by adding a 'skip on lo' rule.
348
34920230613:
350	Improvements to libtacplus(8) mean that tacplus.conf(5) now
351	follows POSIX shell syntax rules. This may cause TACACS+
352	authentication to fail if the shared secret contains a single
353	quote, double quote, or backslash character which isn't
354	already properly quoted or escaped.
355
35620230612:
357	Belatedly switch the default nvme block device on x86 from nvd to nda.
358	nda created nvd compatibility links by default, so this should be a
359	nop. If this causes problems for your application, set hw.nvme.use_nvd=1
360	in your loader.conf or add `options NVME_USE_NVD=1` to your kernel
361	config. To disable the nvd compatibility aliases, add
362	kern.cam.nda.nvd_compat=0 to loader.conf.  The default has been nda on
363	all non-x86 platforms for some time now. If you need to fall back,
364	please email imp@freebsd.org about why.
365
366	Encrypted swap partitions need to be changed from nvd to nda if you
367	migrate, or you need to use the above to switch back to nvd.
368
36920230422:
370	Remove portsnap(8).  Users are encouraged to obtain the ports tree
371	using git instead.
372
37320230420:
374	Add jobs.mk to save typing. Enables -j${JOB_MAX} and logging
375	eg.
376		make buildworld-jobs
377	runs
378		make -j${JOB_MAX} buildworld > ../buildworld.log 2>&1
379
380	where JOB_MAX is derrived from ncpus in local.sys.mk if not set in env.
381
38220230316:
383	Video related devices for some arm devices have been renamed.
384	If you have a custom kernel config and want to use hdmi output on
385	IMX6 board you need to add "device dwc_hdmi" "device imx6_hdmi" and
386	"device imx6_ipu" to it.
387	If you have a custom kernel config and want to use hdmi output on
388	TI AM335X board you need to add "device tda19988" to it.
389	If you add "device hdmi" in it you need to remove it as it doesn't
390	exist anymore.
391
39220230221:
393	Introduce new kernel options KBD_DELAY1 and KBD_DELAY2. See atkbdc(4)
394	for details.
395
39620230206:
397	sshd now defaults to having X11Forwarding disabled, following upstream.
398	Administrators who wish to enable X11Forwarding should add
399	`X11Forwarding yes` to /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
400
40120230204:
402	Since commit 75d41cb6967 Huawei 3G/4G LTE Mobile Devices do not default
403	to ECM, but NCM mode and need u3g and ucom modules loaded. See cdce(4).
404
40520230130:
406	As of commit 7c40e2d5f685, the dependency on netlink(4) has been added
407	to the linux_common(4) module. Users relying on linux_common may need
408	to complile netlink(4) module if it is not present in their kernel.
409
41020230126:
411	The WITHOUT_CXX option has been removed. C++ components in the base
412	system are now built unconditionally.
413
41420230113:
415	LinuxKPI pci.h changes may require out-of-tree drivers to be recompiled.
416	Bump _FreeBSD_version to 1400078 to be able to detect this change.
417
41820221212:
419	llvm-objump is now always installed as objdump.  Previously there was
420	no /usr/bin/objdump unless the WITH_LLVM_BINUTILS knob was used.
421
422	Some LLVM objdump options have a different output format compared to
423	GNU objdump; readelf is available for inspecting ELF files, and GNU
424	objdump is available from the devel/binutils port or package.
425
42620221205:
427	dma(8) has replaced sendmail(8) as the default mta.  For people willing
428	to reenable sendmail(8):
429
430	$ cp /usr/share/examples/sendmail/mailer.conf /etc/mail/mailer.conf
431
432	and add sendmail_enable="YES" to rc.conf.
433
43420221204:
435	hw.bus.disable_failed_devices has changed from 'false' to 'true' by
436	default. Now if newbus succeeds in probing a device, but fails to attach
437	the device, we'll disable the device. In the past, we'd keep retrying
438	the device on each new driver loaded. To get that behavior now, one
439	needs to use devctl to re-enable the device, and reprobe it (or set
440	the sysctl/tunable hw.bus.disable_failed_devices=false).
441
442	NOTE: This was reverted 20221205 due to unexpected compatibility issues
443
44420221122:
445	pf no longer accepts 'scrub fragment crop' or 'scrub fragment drop-ovl'.
446	These configurations are no longer automatically reinterpreted as
447	'scrub fragment reassemble'.
448
44920221121:
450	The WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC option has been removed.  When Clang is enabled
451	it is always installed as /usr/bin/cc (and c++, cpp).
452
45320221026:
454	Some programs have been moved into separate packages. It is recommended
455	for pkgbase users to do:
456
457	pkg install FreeBSD-dhclient FreeBSD-geom FreeBSD-resolvconf \
458	  FreeBSD-devd FreeBSD-devmatch
459
460	after upgrading to restore all the component that were previously
461	installed.
462
46320221002:
464	OPIE has been removed from the base system.  If needed, it can
465	be installed from ports (security/opie) or packages (opie).
466	Otherwise, make sure that your PAM policies do not reference
467	pam_opie or pam_opieaccess.
468
46920220610:
470	LinuxKPI pm.h changes require an update to the latest drm-kmod version
471	before re-compiling to avoid errors.
472
47320211230:
474	The macros provided for the manipulation of CPU sets (e.g. CPU_AND)
475	have been modified to take 2 source arguments instead of only 1.
476	Externally maintained sources that use these macros will have to
477	be adapted. The FreeBSD version has been bumped to 1400046 to
478	reflect this change.
479
48020211214:
481	A number of the kernel include files are able to be included by
482	themselves.  A test has been added to buildworld to enforce this.
483
48420211209:
485	Remove mips as a recognized target. This starts the decommissioning of
486	mips support in FreeBSD. mips related items will be removed wholesale in
487	the coming days and weeks.
488
489	This broke the NO_CLEAN build for some people. Either do a clean build
490	or touch
491		lib/clang/include/llvm/Config/Targets.def
492		lib/clang/include/llvm/Config/AsmParsers.def
493		lib/clang/include/llvm/Config/Disassemblers.def
494		lib/clang/include/llvm/Config/AsmPrinters.def
495	before the build to force everything to rebuild that needs to.
496
49720211202:
498	Unbound support for RFC8375: The special-use domain 'home.arpa' is
499	by default blocked. To unblock it use a local-zone nodefault
500	statement in unbound.conf:
501		local-zone: "home.arpa." nodefault
502
503	Or use another type of local-zone to override with your choice.
504
505	The reason for this is discussed in Section 6.1 of RFC8375:
506	Because 'home.arpa.' is not globally scoped and cannot be secured
507	using DNSSEC based on the root domain's trust anchor, there is no way
508	to tell, using a standard DNS query, in which homenet scope an answer
509	belongs.  Consequently, users may experience surprising results with
510	such names when roaming to different homenets.
511
51220211110:
513	Commit b8d60729deef changed the TCP congestion control framework so
514	that any of the included congestion control modules could be
515	the single module built into the kernel. Previously newreno
516	was automatically built in through direct reference. As of
517	this commit you are required to declare at least one congestion
518	control module (e.g. 'options CC_NEWRENO') and to also declare a
519	default using the CC_DEFAULT option (e.g. options CC_DEFAULT="newreno\").
520	The GENERIC configuration includes CC_NEWRENO and defines newreno
521	as the default. If no congestion control option is built into the
522	kernel and you are including networking, the kernel compile will
523	fail. Also if no default is declared the kernel compile will fail.
524
52520211118:
526	Mips has been removed from universe builds. It will be removed from the
527	tree shortly.
528
52920211106:
530	Commit f0c9847a6c47 changed the arguments for VOP_ALLOCATE.
531	The NFS modules must be rebuilt from sources and any out
532	of tree file systems that implement their own VOP_ALLOCATE
533	may need to be modified.
534
53520211022:
536	The synchronous PPP kernel driver sppp(4) has been removed.
537	The cp(4) and ce(4) drivers are now always compiled with netgraph(4)
538	support, formerly enabled by NETGRAPH_CRONYX option.
539
54020211020:
541	sh(1) is now the default shell for the root user.  To force root to use
542	the csh shell, please run the following command as root:
543
544	# chsh -s csh
545
54620211004:
547	Ncurses distribution has been split between libtinfow and libncurses
548	with libncurses.so becoming a linker (ld) script to seamlessly link
549	to libtinfow as needed. Bump _FreeBSD_version to 1400035 to reflect
550	this change.
551
55220210923:
553	As of commit 8160a0f62be6, the dummynet module no longer depends on the
554	ipfw module. Dummynet can now be used by pf as well as ipfw. As such
555	users who relied on this dependency may need to include ipfw in the
556	list of modules to load on their systems.
557
55820210922:
559	As of commit 903873ce1560, the mixer(8) utility has got a slightly
560	new syntax. Please refer to the mixer(8) manual page for more
561	information. The old mixer utility can be installed from ports:
562	audio/freebsd-13-mixer
563
56420210911:
565	As of commit 55089ef4f8bb, the global variable nfs_maxcopyrange has
566	been deleted from the nfscommon.ko.  As such, nfsd.ko must be built
567	from up to date sources to avoid an undefined reference when
568	being loaded.
569
57020210817:
571	As of commit 62ca9fc1ad56 OpenSSL no longer enables kernel TLS
572	by default.  Users can enable kernel TLS via the "KTLS" SSL
573	option.  This can be enabled globally by using a custom
574	OpenSSL config file via OPENSSL_CONF or via an
575	application-specific configuration option for applications
576	which permit setting SSL options via SSL_CONF_cmd(3).
577
57820210811:
579	Commit 3ad1e1c1ce20 changed the internal KAPI between the NFS
580	modules. Therefore, all need to be rebuilt from sources.
581
58220210730:
583	Commit b69019c14cd8 removes pf's DIOCGETSTATESNV ioctl.
584	As of be70c7a50d32 it is no longer used by userspace, but it does mean
585	users may not be able to enumerate pf states if they update the kernel
586	past b69019c14cd8 without first updating userspace past be70c7a50d32.
587
58820210729:
589	As of commit 01ad0c007964 if_bridge member interfaces can no longer
590	change their MTU. Changing the MTU of the bridge itself will change the
591	MTU on all member interfaces instead.
592
59320210716:
594	Commit ee29e6f31111 changed the internal KAPI between the nfscommon
595	and nfsd modules. Therefore, both need to be rebuilt from sources.
596	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400026 for this KAPI change.
597
59820210715:
599	The 20210707 awk update brought in a change in behavior. This has
600	been corrected as of d4d252c49976. Between these dates, if you
601	installed a new awk binary, you may not be able to build a new
602	kernel because the change in behavior affected the genoffset
603	script used to build the kernel. If you did update, the fix is
604	to update your sources past the above hash and do
605		% cd usr.bin/awk
606		% make clean all
607		% sudo -E make install
608	to enable building kernels again.
609
61020210708:
611	Commit 1e0a518d6548 changed the internal KAPI between the NFS
612	modules. They all need to be rebuilt from sources.  I did not
613	bump __FreeBSD_version, since it was bumped recently.
614
61520210707:
616	awk has been updated to the latest one-true-awk version 20210215.
617	This contains a number of minor bug fixes.
618
61920210624:
620	The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4
621	supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0,
622	for NFSv4 mounts.
623	The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default.
624
62520210618:
626	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400024 for LinuxKPI changes.
627	Most notably netdev.h can change now as the (last) dependencies
628	(mlx4/ofed) are now using struct ifnet directly, but also for PCI
629	additions and others.
630
63120210618:
632	The directory "blacklisted" under /usr/share/certs/ has been
633	renamed to "untrusted".
634
63520210611:
636	svnlite has been removed from base. Should you need svn for any reason
637	please install the svn package or port.
638
63920210611:
640	Commit e1a907a25cfa changed the internal KAPI between the krpc
641	and nfsserver.  As such, both modules must be rebuilt from
642	sources.  Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400022.
643
64420210610:
645	The an(4) driver has been removed from FreeBSD.
646
64720210608:
648	The vendor/openzfs branch was renamed to vendor/openzfs/legacy to
649	start tracking OpenZFS upstream more closely. Please see
650https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-current/2021-June/000153.html
651	for details on how to correct any errors that might result. The
652	short version is that you need to remove the old branch locally:
653	    git update-ref -d refs/remotes/freebsd/vendor/openzfs
654	(assuming your upstream origin is named 'freebsd').
655
65620210525:
657	Commits 17accc08ae15 and de102f870501 add new files to LinuxKPI
658	which break drm-kmod.  In addition various other additions where
659	committed. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400015 to be able to
660	detect this.
661
66220210513:
663	Commit ca179c4d74f2 changed the package in which the OpenSSL
664	libraries and utilities are packaged.
665	It is recommended for pkgbase user to do:
666	pkg install -f FreeBSD-openssl
667	before pkg upgrade otherwise some dependencies might not be met
668	and pkg will stop working as libssl will not be present anymore
669	on the system.
670
67120210426:
672	Commit 875977314881 changed the internal KAPI between
673	the nfsd and nfscommon modules.  As such these modules
674	need to be rebuilt from sources.
675	Without this patch in your NFSv4.1/4.2 server, enabling
676	delegations by setting vfs.nfsd.issue_delegations non-zero
677	is not recommended.
678
67920210411:
680	Commit 7763814fc9c2 changed the internal KAPI between
681	the krpc and NFS.  As such, the krpc, nfscommon and
682	nfscl modules must all be rebuilt from sources.
683	Without this patch, NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts should not
684	be done with the nfscbd(8) daemon running, to avoid
685	needing a working back channel for server->client RPCs.
686
68720210330:
688	Commit 01ae8969a9ee fixed the NFSv4.1/4.2 server so that it
689	handles binding of the back channel as required by RFC5661.
690	Until this patch is in your server, avoid use of the "nconnects"
691	mount option for Linux NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts.
692
69320210225:
694	For 64-bit architectures the base system is now built with Position
695	Independent Executable (PIE) support enabled by default.  It may be
696	disabled using the WITHOUT_PIE knob.  A clean build is required.
697
69820210128:
699	Various LinuxKPI functionality was added which conflicts with DRM.
700	Please update your drm-kmod port to after the __FreeBSD_version 1400003
701	update.
702
70320210121:
704	stable/13 branch created.
705
70620210108:
707	PC Card attachments for all devices have been removed. In the case of
708	wi and cmx, the entire drivers were removed because they were only
709	PC Card devices. FreeBSD_version 1300134 should be used for this
710	since it was bumped so recently.
711
71220210107:
713	Transport-independent parts of HID support have been split off the USB
714	code in to separate subsystem.  Kernel configs which include one of
715	ums, ukbd, uhid, atp, wsp, wmt, uaudio, ugold or ucycom drivers should
716	be updated with adding of "device hid" line.
717
71820210105:
719	ncurses installation has been modified to only keep the widechar
720	enabled version.  Incremental build is broken for that change, so it
721	requires a clean build.
722
72320201223:
724	The FreeBSD project has migrated from Subversion to Git. Temporary
725	instructions can be found at
726	https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/src-cvt.md
727	and other documents in that repo.
728
72920201216:
730	The services database has been updated to cover more of the basic
731	services expected in a modern system. The database is big enough
732	that it will cause issues in mergemaster in Releases previous to
733	12.2 and 11.3, or in very old current systems from before r358154.
734
73520201215:
736	Obsolete in-tree GDB 6.1.1 has been removed.  GDB (including kgdb)
737	may be installed from ports or packages.
738
73920201124:
740	ping6 has been merged into ping.  It can now be called as "ping -6".
741	See ping(8) for details.
742
74320201108:
744	Default value of net.add_addr_allfibs has been changed to 0.
745	If you have multi-fib configuration and rely on existence of all
746	interface routes in every fib, you need to set the above sysctl to 1.
747
74820201030:
749	The internal pre-processor in the calendar(1) program has been
750	extended to support more C pre-processor commands (e.g. #ifdef, #else,
751	and #undef) and to detect unbalanced conditional statements.
752	Error messages have been extended to include the filename and line
753	number if processing stops to help fixing malformed data files.
754
75520201026:
756	All the data files for the calendar(1) program, except calendar.freebsd,
757	have been moved to the deskutils/calendar-data port, much like the
758	jewish calendar entries were moved to deskutils/hebcal years ago. After
759	make delete-old-files, you need to install it to retain full
760	functionality. calendar(1) will issue a reminder for files it can't
761	find.
762
76320200923:
764	LINT files are no longer generated. We now include the relevant NOTES
765	files. Note: This may cause conflicts with updating in some cases.
766	        find sys -name LINT\* -delete
767	is suggested across this commit	to remove the generated	LINT files.
768
769	If you have tried to update with generated files there, the svn
770	command you want to un-auger the tree is
771		cd sys/amd64/conf
772		svn revert -R .
773	and then do the above find from the top level. Substitute 'amd64'
774	above with where the error message indicates a conflict.
775
77620200824:
777	OpenZFS support has been integrated. Do not upgrade root pools until
778	the loader is updated to support zstd. Furthermore, we caution against
779	'zpool upgrade' for the next few weeks. The change should be transparent
780	unless you  want to use new features.
781
782	Not all "NO_CLEAN" build scenarios work across these changes. Many
783	scenarios have been tested and fixed, but rebuilding kernels without
784	rebuilding world may fail.
785
786	The ZFS cache file has moved from /boot to /etc to match the OpenZFS
787	upstream default. A fallback to /boot has been added for mountroot.
788
789	Pool auto import behavior at boot has been moved from the kernel module
790	to an explicit "zpool import -a" in one of the rc scripts enabled by
791	zfs_enable=YES. This means your non-root zpools won't auto import until
792	you upgrade your /etc/rc.d files.
793
79420200824:
795	The resume code now notifies devd with the 'kernel' system
796	rather than the old 'kern' subsystem to be consistent with
797	other use. The old notification will be created as well, but
798	will be removed prior to FreeBSD 14.0.
799
80020200821:
801	r362275 changed the internal API between the kernel RPC and the
802	NFS modules. As such, all the modules must be recompiled from
803	sources.
804
80520200817:
806	r364330 modified the internal API used between the NFS modules.
807	As such, all the NFS modules must be re-compiled from sources.
808
80920200816:
810	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
811	been upgraded to 11.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for
812	information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already
813	using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
814
81520200810:
816	r364092 modified the internal ABI used between the kernel NFS
817	modules.  As such, all of these modules need to be rebuilt
818	from sources, so a version bump was done.
819
82020200807:
821	Makefile.inc has been updated to work around the issue documented in
822	20200729. It was a case where the optimization of using symbolic links
823	to point to binaries created a situation where we'd run new binaries
824	with old libraries starting midway through the installworld process.
825
82620200729:
827	r363679 has redefined some undefined behavior in regcomp(3); notably,
828	extraneous escapes of most ordinary characters will no longer be
829	accepted.  An exp-run has identified all of the problems with this in
830	ports, but other non-ports software may need extra escapes removed to
831	continue to function.
832
833	Because of this change, installworld may encounter the following error
834	from rtld: Undefined symbol "regcomp@FBSD_1.6" -- It is imperative that
835	you do not halt installworld. Instead, let it run to completion (whether
836	successful or not) and run installworld once more.
837
83820200627:
839	A new implementation of bc and dc has been imported in r362681. This
840	implementation corrects non-conformant behavior of the previous bc
841	and adds GNU bc compatible options. It offers a number of extensions,
842	is much faster on large values, and has support for message catalogs
843	(a number of languages are already supported, contributions of further
844	languages welcome). The option WITHOUT_GH_BC can be used to build the
845	world with the previous versions of bc and dc.
846
84720200625:
848	r362639 changed the internal API used between the NFS kernel modules.
849	As such, they all need to be rebuilt from sources.
850
85120200613:
852	r362158 changed the arguments for VFS_CHECKEXP().  As such, any
853	out of tree file systems need to be modified and rebuilt.
854	Also, any file systems that are modules must be rebuilt.
855
85620200604:
857	read(2) of a directory fd is now rejected by default.  root may
858	re-enable it for system root only on non-ZFS filesystems with the
859	security.bsd.allow_read_dir sysctl(8) MIB if
860	security.bsd.suser_enabled=1.
861
862	It may be advised to setup aliases for grep to default to `-d skip` if
863	commonly non-recursively grepping a list that includes directories and
864	the potential for the resulting stderr output is not tolerable.  Example
865	aliases are now installed, commented out, in /root/.cshrc and
866	/root/.shrc.
867
86820200523:
869	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
870	been upgraded to 10.0.1.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for
871	information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already
872	using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
873
87420200512:
875	Support for obsolete compilers has been removed from the build system.
876	Clang 6 and GCC 6.4 are the minimum supported versions.
877
87820200424:
879	closefrom(2) has been moved under COMPAT12, and replaced in libc with a
880	stub that calls close_range(2).  If using a custom kernel configuration,
881	you may want to ensure that the COMPAT_FREEBSD12 option is included, as
882	a slightly older -CURRENT userland and older FreeBSD userlands may not
883	be functional without closefrom(2).
884
88520200414:
886	Upstream DTS from Linux 5.6 was merged and they now have the SID
887	and THS (Secure ID controller and THermal Sensor) node present.
888	The DTB overlays have now been removed from the tree for the H3/H5 and
889	A64 SoCs and the aw_sid and aw_thermal driver have been updated to
890	deal with upstream DTS. If you are using those overlays you need to
891	remove them from loader.conf and update the DTBs on the FAT partition.
892
89320200310:
894	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
895	been upgraded to 10.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for
896	information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already
897	using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
898
89920200309:
900	The amd(8) automount daemon has been removed from the source tree.
901	As of FreeBSD 10.1 autofs(5) is the preferred tool for automounting.
902	amd is still available in the sysutils/am-utils port.
903
90420200301:
905	Removed brooktree driver (bktr.4) from the tree.
906
90720200229:
908	The WITH_GPL_DTC option has been removed.  The BSD-licenced device tree
909	compiler in usr.bin/dtc is used on all architectures which use dtc, and
910	the GPL dtc is available (if needed) from the sysutils/dtc port.
911
91220200229:
913	The WITHOUT_LLVM_LIBUNWIND option has been removed.  LLVM's libunwind
914	is used by all supported CPU architectures.
915
91620200229:
917	GCC 4.2.1 has been removed from the tree.  The WITH_GCC,
918	WITH_GCC_BOOTSTRAP, and WITH_GNUCXX options are no longer available.
919	Users who wish to build FreeBSD with GCC must use the external toolchain
920	ports or packages.
921
92220200220:
923	ncurses has been updated to a newer version (6.2-20200215). Given the ABI
924	has changed, users will have to rebuild all the ports that are linked to
925	ncurses.
926
92720200217:
928	The size of struct vnet and the magic cookie have changed.
929	Users need to recompile libkvm and all modules using VIMAGE
930	together with their new kernel.
931
93220200212:
933	Defining the long deprecated NO_CTF, NO_DEBUG_FILES, NO_INSTALLLIB,
934	NO_MAN, NO_PROFILE, and NO_WARNS variables is now an error.  Update
935	your Makefiles and scripts to define MK_<var>=no instead as required.
936
937	One exception to this is that program or library Makefiles should
938	define MAN to empty rather than setting MK_MAN=no.
939
94020200108:
941	Clang/LLVM is now the default compiler and LLD the default
942	linker for riscv64.
943
94420200107:
945	make universe no longer uses GCC 4.2.1 on any architectures.
946	Architectures not supported by in-tree Clang/LLVM require an
947	external toolchain package.
948
94920200104:
950	GCC 4.2.1 is now not built by default, as part of the GCC 4.2.1
951	retirement plan.  Specifically, the GCC, GCC_BOOTSTRAP, and GNUCXX
952	options default to off for all supported CPU architectures.  As a
953	short-term transition aid they may be enabled via WITH_* options.
954	GCC 4.2.1 is expected to be removed from the tree on 2020-03-31.
955
95620200102:
957	Support for armv5 has been disconnected and is being removed. The
958	machine combination MACHINE=arm MACHINE_ARCH=arm is no longer valid.
959	You must now use a MACHINE_ARCH of armv6 or armv7. The default
960	MACHINE_ARCH for MACHINE=arm is now armv7.
961
96220191226:
963	Clang/LLVM is now the default compiler for all powerpc architectures.
964	LLD is now the default linker for powerpc64.  The change for powerpc64
965	also includes a change to the ELFv2 ABI, incompatible with the existing
966	ABI.
967
96820191226:
969	Kernel-loadable random(4) modules are no longer unloadable.
970
97120191222:
972	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
973	been upgraded to 9.0.1.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for
974	information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already
975	using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
976
97720191212:
978	r355677 has modified the internal interface used between the
979	NFS modules in the kernel. As such, they must all be upgraded
980	simultaneously. I will do a version bump for this.
981
98220191205:
983	The root certificates of the Mozilla CA Certificate Store have been
984	imported into the base system and can be managed with the certctl(8)
985	utility.  If you have installed the security/ca_root_nss port or package
986	with the ETCSYMLINK option (the default), be advised that there may be
987	differences between those included in the port and those included in
988	base due to differences in nss branch used as well as general update
989	frequency.  Note also that certctl(8) cannot manage certs in the
990	format used by the security/ca_root_nss port.
991
99220191120:
993	The amd(8) automount daemon has been disabled by default, and will be
994	removed in the future.  As of FreeBSD 10.1 the autofs(5) is available
995	for automounting.
996
99720191107:
998	The nctgpio and wbwd drivers have been moved to the superio bus.
999	If you have one of these drivers in a kernel configuration, then
1000	you should add device superio to it.  If you use one of these drivers
1001	as a module and you compile a custom set of modules, then you should
1002	add superio to the set.
1003
100420191021:
1005	KPIs for network drivers to access interface addresses have changed.
1006	Users need to recompile NIC driver modules together with kernel.
1007
100820191021:
1009	The net.link.tap.user_open sysctl no longer prevents user opening of
1010	already created /dev/tapNN devices.  Access is still controlled by
1011	node permissions, just like tun devices.  The net.link.tap.user_open
1012	sysctl is now used only to allow users to perform devfs cloning of
1013	tap devices, and the subsequent open may not succeed if the user is not
1014	in the appropriate group.  This sysctl may be deprecated/removed
1015	completely in the future.
1016
101720191009:
1018	mips, powerpc, and sparc64 are no longer built as part of
1019	universe / tinderbox unless MAKE_OBSOLETE_GCC is defined. If
1020	not defined, mips, powerpc, and sparc64 builds will look for
1021	the xtoolchain binaries and if installed use them for universe
1022	builds. As llvm 9.0 becomes vetted for these architectures, they
1023	will be removed from the list.
1024
102520191009:
1026	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
1027	been upgraded to 9.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for
1028	information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already
1029	using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
1030
103120191003:
1032	The hpt27xx, hptmv, hptnr, and hptrr drivers have been removed from
1033	GENERIC.  They are available as modules and can be loaded by adding
1034	to /boot/loader.conf hpt27xx_load="YES", hptmv_load="YES",
1035	hptnr_load="YES", or hptrr_load="YES", respectively.
1036
103720190913:
1038	ntpd no longer by default locks its pages in memory, allowing them
1039	to be paged out by the kernel. Use rlimit memlock to restore
1040	historic BSD behaviour. For example, add "rlimit memlock 32"
1041	to ntp.conf to lock up to 32 MB of ntpd address space in memory.
1042
104320190823:
1044	Several of ping6's options have been renamed for better consistency
1045	with ping.  If you use any of -ARWXaghmrtwx, you must update your
1046	scripts.  See ping6(8) for details.
1047
104820190727:
1049	The vfs.fusefs.sync_unmount and vfs.fusefs.init_backgrounded sysctls
1050	and the "-o sync_unmount" and "-o init_backgrounded" mount options have
1051	been removed from mount_fusefs(8).  You can safely remove them from
1052	your scripts, because they had no effect.
1053
1054	The vfs.fusefs.fix_broken_io, vfs.fusefs.sync_resize,
1055	vfs.fusefs.refresh_size, vfs.fusefs.mmap_enable,
1056	vfs.fusefs.reclaim_revoked, and vfs.fusefs.data_cache_invalidate
1057	sysctls have been removed.  If you felt the need to set any of them to
1058	a non-default value, please tell asomers@FreeBSD.org why.
1059
106020190713:
1061	Default permissions on the /var/account/acct file (and copies of it
1062	rotated by periodic daily scripts) are changed from 0644 to 0640
1063	because the file contains sensitive information that should not be
1064	world-readable.  If the /var/account directory must be created by
1065	rc.d/accounting, the mode used is now 0750.  Admins who use the
1066	accounting feature are encouraged to change the mode of an existing
1067	/var/account directory to 0750 or 0700.
1068
106920190620:
1070	Entropy collection and the /dev/random device are no longer optional
1071	components.  The "device random" option has been removed.
1072	Implementations of distilling algorithms can still be made loadable
1073	with "options RANDOM_LOADABLE" (e.g., random_fortuna.ko).
1074
107520190612:
1076	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
1077	been upgraded to 8.0.1.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for
1078	information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already
1079	using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
1080
108120190608:
1082	A fix was applied to i386 kernel modules to avoid panics with
1083	dpcpu or vnet.  Users need to recompile i386 kernel modules
1084	having pcpu or vnet sections or they will refuse to load.
1085
108620190513:
1087	User-wired pages now have their own counter,
1088	vm.stats.vm.v_user_wire_count.  The vm.max_wired sysctl was renamed
1089	to vm.max_user_wired and changed from an unsigned int to an unsigned
1090	long.  bhyve VMs wired with the -S are now subject to the user
1091	wiring limit; the vm.max_user_wired sysctl may need to be tuned to
1092	avoid running into the limit.
1093
109420190507:
1095	The IPSEC option has been removed from GENERIC.  Users requiring
1096	ipsec(4) must now load the ipsec(4) kernel module.
1097
109820190507:
1099	The tap(4) driver has been folded into tun(4), and the module has been
1100	renamed to tuntap.  You should update any kld_list="if_tap" or
1101	kld_list="if_tun" entries in /etc/rc.conf, if_tap_load="YES" or
1102	if_tun_load="YES" entries in /boot/loader.conf to load the if_tuntap
1103	module instead, and "device tap" or "device tun" entries in kernel
1104	config files to select the tuntap device instead.
1105
110620190418:
1107	The following knobs have been added related to tradeoffs between
1108	safe use of the random device and availability in the absence of
1109	entropy:
1110
1111	kern.random.initial_seeding.bypass_before_seeding: tunable; set
1112	non-zero to bypass the random device prior to seeding, or zero to
1113	block random requests until the random device is initially seeded.
1114	For now, set to 1 (unsafe) by default to restore pre-r346250 boot
1115	availability properties.
1116
1117	kern.random.initial_seeding.read_random_bypassed_before_seeding:
1118	read-only diagnostic sysctl that is set when bypass is enabled and
1119	read_random(9) is bypassed, to enable programmatic handling of this
1120	initial condition, if desired.
1121
1122	kern.random.initial_seeding.arc4random_bypassed_before_seeding:
1123	Similar to the above, but for arc4random(9) initial seeding.
1124
1125	kern.random.initial_seeding.disable_bypass_warnings: tunable; set
1126	non-zero to disable warnings in dmesg when the same conditions are
1127	met as for the diagnostic sysctls above.  Defaults to zero, i.e.,
1128	produce warnings in dmesg when the conditions are met.
1129
113020190416:
1131	The loadable random module KPI has changed; the random_infra_init()
1132	routine now requires a 3rd function pointer for a bool (*)(void)
1133	method that returns true if the random device is seeded (and
1134	therefore unblocked).
1135
113620190404:
1137	r345895 reverts r320698. This implies that an nfsuserd(8) daemon
1138	built from head sources between r320757 (July 6, 2017) and
1139	r338192 (Aug. 22, 2018) will not work unless the "-use-udpsock"
1140	is added to the command line.
1141	nfsuserd daemons built from head sources that are post-r338192 are
1142	not affected and should continue to work.
1143
114420190320:
1145	The fuse(4) module has been renamed to fusefs(4) for consistency with
1146	other filesystems.  You should update any kld_load="fuse" entries in
1147	/etc/rc.conf, fuse_load="YES" entries in /boot/loader.conf, and
1148	"options FUSE" entries in kernel config files.
1149
115020190304:
1151	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to
1152	8.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about
1153	prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0
1154	or higher.
1155
115620190226:
1157	geom_uzip(4) depends on the new module xz.  If geom_uzip is statically
1158	compiled into your custom kernel, add 'device xz' statement to the
1159	kernel config.
1160
116120190219:
1162	drm and drm2 have been removed from the tree. Please see
1163	https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics for the latest information on
1164	migrating to the drm ports.
1165
116620190131:
1167	Iflib is no longer unconditionally compiled into the kernel.  Drivers
1168	using iflib and statically compiled into the kernel, now require
1169	the 'device iflib' config option.  For the same drivers loaded as
1170	modules on kernels not having 'device iflib', the iflib.ko module
1171	is loaded automatically.
1172
117320190125:
1174	The IEEE80211_AMPDU_AGE and AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 kernel configuration
1175	options no longer exist since r343219 and r343427 respectively;
1176	nothing uses them, so they should be just removed from custom
1177	kernel config files.
1178
117920181230:
1180	r342635 changes the way efibootmgr(8) works by requiring users to add
1181	the -b (bootnum) parameter for commands where the bootnum was previously
1182	specified with each option. For example 'efibootmgr -B 0001' is now
1183	'efibootmgr -B -b 0001'.
1184
118520181220:
1186	r342286 modifies the NFSv4 server so that it obeys vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport
1187	in the same as it is applied to NFSv2 and 3.  This implies that NFSv4
1188	servers that have vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport set will only allow mounts
1189	from clients using a reserved port. Since both the FreeBSD and Linux
1190	NFSv4 clients use reserved ports by default, this should not affect
1191	most NFSv4 mounts.
1192
119320181219:
1194	The XLP config has been removed. We can't support 64-bit atomics in this
1195	kernel because it is running in 32-bit mode. XLP users must transition
1196	to running a 64-bit kernel (XLP64 or XLPN32).
1197
1198	The mips GXEMUL support has been removed from FreeBSD. MALTA* + qemu is
1199	the preferred emulator today and we don't need two different ones.
1200
1201	The old sibyte / swarm / Broadcom BCM1250 support has been
1202	removed from the mips port.
1203
120420181211:
1205	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to
1206	7.0.1.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about
1207	prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0
1208	or higher.
1209
121020181211:
1211	Remove the timed and netdate programs from the base tree.  Setting
1212	the time with these daemons has been obsolete for over a decade.
1213
121420181126:
1215	On amd64, arm64 and armv7 (architectures that install LLVM's ld.lld
1216	linker as /usr/bin/ld) GNU ld is no longer installed as ld.bfd, as
1217	it produces broken binaries when ifuncs are in use.  Users needing
1218	GNU ld should install the binutils port or package.
1219
122020181123:
1221	The BSD crtbegin and crtend code has been enabled by default. It has
1222	had extensive testing on amd64, arm64, and i386. It can be disabled
1223	by building a world with -DWITHOUT_BSD_CRTBEGIN.
1224
122520181115:
1226	The set of CTM commands (ctm, ctm_smail, ctm_rmail, ctm_dequeue)
1227	has been converted to a port (misc/ctm) and will be removed from
1228	FreeBSD-13.  It is available as a package (ctm) for all supported
1229	FreeBSD versions.
1230
123120181110:
1232	The default newsyslog.conf(5) file has been changed to only include
1233	files in /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ and /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ if
1234	the filenames end in '.conf' and do not begin with a '.'.
1235
1236	You should check the configuration files in these two directories match
1237	this naming convention. You can verify which configuration files are
1238	being included using the command:
1239		$ newsyslog -Nrv
1240
124120181019:
1242	Stable/12 was branched created.
1243
124420181015:
1245	Ports for the DRM modules have been simplified. Now, amd64 users should
1246	just install the drm-kmod port. All others should install
1247	drm-legacy-kmod.
1248
1249	Graphics hardware that's newer than about 2010 usually works with
1250	drm-kmod.  For hardware older than 2013, however, some users will need
1251	to use drm-legacy-kmod if drm-kmod doesn't work for them. Hardware older
1252	than 2008 usually only works in drm-legacy-kmod. The graphics team can
1253	only commit to hardware made since 2013 due to the complexity of the
1254	market and difficulty to test all the older cards effectively. If you
1255	have hardware supported by drm-kmod, you are strongly encouraged to use
1256	that as you will get better support.
1257
1258	Other than KPI chasing, drm-legacy-kmod will not be updated. As outlined
1259	elsewhere, the drm and drm2 modules will be eliminated from the src base
1260	soon (with a limited exception for arm). Please update to the package
1261	asap and report any issues to x11@freebsd.org.
1262
1263	Generally, anybody using the drm*-kmod packages should add
1264	WITHOUT_DRM_MODULE=t and WITHOUT_DRM2_MODULE=t to avoid nasty
1265	cross-threading surprises, especially with automatic driver
1266	loading from X11 startup. These will become the defaults in 13-current
1267	shortly.
1268
126920181012:
1270	The ixlv(4) driver has been renamed to iavf(4).  As a consequence,
1271	custom kernel and module loading configuration files must be updated
1272	accordingly.  Moreover, interfaces previous presented as ixlvN to the
1273	system are now exposed as iavfN and network configuration files must
1274	be adjusted as necessary.
1275
127620181009:
1277	OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.1.1.  This update included
1278	additional various API changes throughout the base system.  It is
1279	important to rebuild third-party software after upgrading.  The value
1280	of __FreeBSD_version has been bumped accordingly.
1281
128220181006:
1283	The legacy DRM modules and drivers have now been added to the loader's
1284	module blacklist, in favor of loading them with kld_list in rc.conf(5).
1285	The module blacklist may be overridden with the loader.conf(5)
1286	'module_blacklist' variable, but loading them via rc.conf(5) is strongly
1287	encouraged.
1288
128920181002:
1290	The cam(4) based nda(4) driver will be used over nvd(4) by default on
1291	powerpc64. You may set 'options NVME_USE_NVD=1' in your kernel conf or
1292	loader tunable 'hw.nvme.use_nvd=1' if you wish to use the existing
1293	driver.  Make sure to edit /boot/etc/kboot.conf and fstab to use the
1294	nda device name.
1295
129620180913:
1297	Reproducible build mode is now on by default, in preparation for
1298	FreeBSD 12.0.  This eliminates build metadata such as the user,
1299	host, and time from the kernel (and uname), unless the working tree
1300	corresponds to a modified checkout from a version control system.
1301	The previous behavior can be obtained by setting the /etc/src.conf
1302	knob WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD.
1303
130420180826:
1305	The Yarrow CSPRNG has been removed from the kernel as it has not been
1306	supported by its designers since at least 2003. Fortuna has been the
1307	default since FreeBSD-11.
1308
130920180822:
1310	devctl freeze/thaw have gone into the tree, the rc scripts have been
1311	updated to use them and devmatch has been changed.  You should update
1312	kernel, userland and rc scripts all at the same time.
1313
131420180818:
1315	The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua.
1316	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7), will override the default
1317	interpreter.  If you have custom FORTH code you will need to set
1318	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in
1319	src.conf for the build.  This will create default hard links between
1320	loader and loader_4th instead of loader and loader_lua, the new default.
1321	If you are using UEFI it will create the proper hard link to loader.efi.
1322
1323	bhyve uses userboot.so. It remains 4th-only until some issues are solved
1324	regarding coexisting with multiple versions of FreeBSD are resolved.
1325
132620180815:
1327	ls(1) now respects the COLORTERM environment variable used in other
1328	systems and software to indicate that a colored terminal is both
1329	supported and desired.  If ls(1) is suddenly emitting colors, they may
1330	be disabled again by either removing the unwanted COLORTERM from your
1331	environment, or using `ls --color=never`.  The ls(1) specific CLICOLOR
1332	may not be observed in a future release.
1333
133420180808:
1335	The default pager for most commands has been changed to "less".  To
1336	restore the old behavior, set PAGER="more" and MANPAGER="more -s" in
1337	your environment.
1338
133920180731:
1340	The jedec_ts(4) driver has been removed. A superset of its functionality
1341	is available in the jedec_dimm(4) driver, and the manpage for that
1342	driver includes migration instructions. If you have "device jedec_ts"
1343	in your kernel configuration file, it must be removed.
1344
134520180730:
1346	amd64/GENERIC now has EFI runtime services, EFIRT, enabled by default.
1347	This should have no effect if the kernel is booted via BIOS/legacy boot.
1348	EFIRT may be disabled via a loader tunable, efi.rt.disabled, if a system
1349	has a buggy firmware that prevents a successful boot due to use of
1350	runtime services.
1351
135220180727:
1353	Atmel AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM9, Cavium CNS 11xx and XScale
1354	support has been removed from the tree. These ports were
1355	obsolete and/or known to be broken for many years.
1356
135720180723:
1358	loader.efi has been augmented to participate more fully in the
1359	UEFI boot manager protocol. loader.efi will now look at the
1360	BootXXXX environment variable to determine if a specific kernel
1361	or root partition was specified. XXXX is derived from BootCurrent.
1362	efibootmgr(8) manages these standard UEFI variables.
1363
136420180720:
1365	zfsloader's functionality has now been folded into loader.
1366	zfsloader is no longer necessary once you've updated your
1367	boot blocks. For a transition period, we will install a
1368	hardlink for zfsloader to loader to allow a smooth transition
1369	until the boot blocks can be updated (hard link because old
1370	zfs boot blocks don't understand symlinks).
1371
137220180719:
1373	ARM64 now have efifb support, if you want to have serial console
1374	on your arm64 board when an screen is connected and the bootloader
1375	setup a frame buffer for us to use, just add :
1376	boot_serial=YES
1377	boot_multicons=YES
1378	in /boot/loader.conf
1379	For Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI) users, this is needed even if you don't have
1380	an screen connected as the firmware will setup a frame buffer are that
1381	u-boot will expose as an EFI frame buffer.
1382
138320180719:
1384	New uid:gid added, ntpd:ntpd (123:123).  Be sure to run mergemaster
1385	or take steps to update /etc/passwd before doing installworld on
1386	existing systems.  Do not skip the "mergemaster -Fp" step before
1387	installworld, as described in the update procedures near the bottom
1388	of this document.  Also, rc.d/ntpd now starts ntpd(8) as user ntpd
1389	if the new mac_ntpd(4) policy is available, unless ntpd_flags or
1390	the ntp config file contain options that change file/dir locations.
1391	When such options (e.g., "statsdir" or "crypto") are used, ntpd can
1392	still be run as non-root by setting ntpd_user=ntpd in rc.conf, after
1393	taking steps to ensure that all required files/dirs are accessible
1394	by the ntpd user.
1395
139620180717:
1397	Big endian arm support has been removed.
1398
139920180711:
1400	The static environment setup in kernel configs is no longer mutually
1401	exclusive with the loader(8) environment by default.  In order to
1402	restore the previous default behavior of disabling the loader(8)
1403	environment if a static environment is present, you must specify
1404	loader_env.disabled=1 in the static environment.
1405
140620180705:
1407	The ABI of syscalls used by management tools like sockstat and
1408	netstat has been broken to allow 32-bit binaries to work on
1409	64-bit kernels without modification.  These programs will need
1410	to match the kernel in order to function.  External programs may
1411	require minor modifications to accommodate a change of type in
1412	structures from pointers to 64-bit virtual addresses.
1413
141420180702:
1415	On i386 and amd64 atomics are now inlined. Out of tree modules using
1416	atomics will need to be rebuilt.
1417
141820180701:
1419	The '%I' format in the kern.corefile sysctl limits the number of
1420	core files that a process can generate to the number stored in the
1421	debug.ncores sysctl. The '%I' format is replaced by the single digit
1422	index. Previously, if all indexes were taken the kernel would overwrite
1423	only a core file with the highest index in a filename.
1424	Currently the system will create a new core file if there is a free
1425	index or if all slots are taken it will overwrite the oldest one.
1426
142720180630:
1428	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to
1429	6.0.1.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about
1430	prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0
1431	or higher.
1432
143320180628:
1434	r335753 introduced a new quoting method. However, etc/devd/devmatch.conf
1435	needed to be changed to work with it. This change was made with r335763
1436	and requires a mergemaster / etcupdate / etc to update the installed
1437	file.
1438
143920180612:
1440	r334930 changed the interface between the NFS modules, so they all
1441	need to be rebuilt.  r335018 did a __FreeBSD_version bump for this.
1442
144320180530:
1444	As of r334391 lld is the default amd64 system linker; it is installed
1445	as /usr/bin/ld.  Kernel build workarounds (see 20180510 entry) are no
1446	longer necessary.
1447
144820180530:
1449	The kernel / userland interface for devinfo changed, so you'll
1450	need a new kernel and userland as a pair for it to work (rebuilding
1451	lib/libdevinfo is all that's required). devinfo and devmatch will
1452	not work, but everything else will when there's a mismatch.
1453
145420180523:
1455	The on-disk format for hwpmc callchain records has changed to include
1456	threadid corresponding to a given record. This changes the field offsets
1457	and thus requires that libpmcstat be rebuilt before using a kernel
1458	later than r334108.
1459
146020180517:
1461	The vxge(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was introduced into
1462	HEAD one week before the Exar left the Ethernet market and is not
1463	known to be used.  If you have device vxge in your kernel config file
1464	it must be removed.
1465
146620180510:
1467	The amd64 kernel now requires a ld that supports ifunc to produce a
1468	working kernel, either lld or a newer binutils. lld is built by default
1469	on amd64, and the 'buildkernel' target uses it automatically. However,
1470	it is not the default linker, so building the kernel the traditional
1471	way requires LD=ld.lld on the command line (or LD=/usr/local/bin/ld for
1472	binutils port/package). lld will soon be default, and this requirement
1473	will go away.
1474
1475	NOTE: As of r334391 lld is the default system linker on amd64, and no
1476	workaround is necessary.
1477
147820180508:
1479	The nxge(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was for PCI-X 10g
1480	cards made by s2io/Neterion.  The company was acquired by Exar and
1481	no longer sells or supports Ethernet products.  If you have device
1482	nxge in your kernel config file it must be removed.
1483
148420180504:
1485	The tz database (tzdb) has been updated to 2018e.  This version more
1486	correctly models time stamps in time zones with negative DST such as
1487	Europe/Dublin (from 1971 on), Europe/Prague (1946/7), and
1488	Africa/Windhoek (1994/2017).  This does not affect the UT offsets, only
1489	time zone abbreviations and the tm_isdst flag.
1490
149120180502:
1492	The ixgb(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was for an early and
1493	uncommon legacy PCI 10GbE for a single ASIC, Intel 82597EX. Intel
1494	quickly shifted to the long lived ixgbe family.  If you have device
1495	ixgb in your kernel config file it must be removed.
1496
149720180501:
1498	The lmc(4) driver has been removed.  This was a WAN interface
1499	card that was already reportedly rare in 2003, and had an ambiguous
1500	license.  If you have device lmc in your kernel config file it must
1501	be removed.
1502
150320180413:
1504	Support for Arcnet networks has been removed.  If you have device
1505	arcnet or device cm in your kernel config file they must be
1506	removed.
1507
150820180411:
1509	Support for FDDI networks has been removed.  If you have device
1510	fddi or device fpa in your kernel config file they must be
1511	removed.
1512
151320180406:
1514	In addition to supporting RFC 3164 formatted messages, the
1515	syslogd(8) service is now capable of parsing RFC 5424 formatted
1516	log messages. The main benefit of using RFC 5424 is that clients
1517	may now send log messages with timestamps containing year numbers,
1518	microseconds and time zone offsets.
1519
1520	Similarly, the syslog(3) C library function has been altered to
1521	send RFC 5424 formatted messages to the local system logging
1522	daemon. On systems using syslogd(8), this change should have no
1523	negative impact, as long as syslogd(8) and the C library are
1524	updated at the same time. On systems using a different system
1525	logging daemon, it may be necessary to make configuration
1526	adjustments, depending on the software used.
1527
1528	When using syslog-ng, add the 'syslog-protocol' flag to local
1529	input sources to enable parsing of RFC 5424 formatted messages:
1530
1531		source src {
1532			unix-dgram("/var/run/log" flags(syslog-protocol));
1533		}
1534
1535	When using rsyslog, disable the 'SysSock.UseSpecialParser' option
1536	of the 'imuxsock' module to let messages be processed by the
1537	regular RFC 3164/5424 parsing pipeline:
1538
1539		module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.UseSpecialParser="off")
1540
1541	Do note that these changes only affect communication between local
1542	applications and syslogd(8). The format that syslogd(8) uses to
1543	store messages on disk or forward messages to other systems
1544	remains unchanged. syslogd(8) still uses RFC 3164 for these
1545	purposes. Options to customize this behaviour will be added in the
1546	future. Utilities that process log files stored in /var/log are
1547	thus expected to continue to function as before.
1548
1549	__FreeBSD_version has been incremented to 1200061 to denote this
1550	change.
1551
155220180328:
1553	Support for token ring networks has been removed. If you
1554	have "device token" in your kernel config you should remove
1555	it. No device drivers supported token ring.
1556
155720180323:
1558	makefs was modified to be able to tag ISO9660 El Torito boot catalog
1559	entries as EFI instead of overloading the i386 tag as done previously.
1560	The amd64 mkisoimages.sh script used to build amd64 ISO images for
1561	release was updated to use this. This may mean that makefs must be
1562	updated before "make cdrom" can be run in the release directory. This
1563	should be as simple as:
1564
1565		$ cd $SRCDIR/usr.sbin/makefs
1566		$ make depend all install
1567
156820180212:
1569	FreeBSD boot loader enhanced with Lua scripting. It's purely opt-in for
1570	now by building WITH_LOADER_LUA and WITHOUT_FORTH in /etc/src.conf.
1571	Co-existence for the transition period will come shortly. Booting is a
1572	complex environment and test coverage for Lua-enabled loaders has been
1573	thin, so it would be prudent to assume it might not work and make
1574	provisions for backup boot methods.
1575
157620180211:
1577	devmatch functionality has been turned on in devd. It will automatically
1578	load drivers for unattached devices. This may cause unexpected drivers
1579	to be loaded. Please report any problems to current@ and
1580	imp@freebsd.org.
1581
158220180114:
1583	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to
1584	6.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about
1585	prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0
1586	or higher.
1587
158820180110:
1589	LLVM's lld linker is now used as the FreeBSD/amd64 bootstrap linker.
1590	This means it is used to link the kernel and userland libraries and
1591	executables, but is not yet installed as /usr/bin/ld by default.
1592
1593	To revert to ld.bfd as the bootstrap linker, in /etc/src.conf set
1594	WITHOUT_LLD_BOOTSTRAP=yes
1595
159620180110:
1597	On i386, pmtimer has been removed. Its functionality has been folded
1598	into apm. It was a no-op on ACPI in current for a while now (but was
1599	still needed on i386 in FreeBSD 11 and earlier). Users may need to
1600	remove it from kernel config files.
1601
160220180104:
1603	The use of RSS hash from the network card aka flowid has been
1604	disabled by default for lagg(4) as it's currently incompatible with
1605	the lacp and loadbalance protocols.
1606
1607	This can be re-enabled by setting the following in loader.conf:
1608	net.link.lagg.default_use_flowid="1"
1609
161020180102:
1611	The SW_WATCHDOG option is no longer necessary to enable the
1612	hardclock-based software watchdog if no hardware watchdog is
1613	configured. As before, SW_WATCHDOG will cause the software
1614	watchdog to be enabled even if a hardware watchdog is configured.
1615
161620171215:
1617	r326887 fixes the issue described in the 20171214 UPDATING entry.
1618	r326888 flips the switch back to building GELI support always.
1619
162020171214:
1621	r362593 broke ZFS + GELI support for reasons unknown. However,
1622	it also broke ZFS support generally, so GELI has been turned off
1623	by default as the lesser evil in r326857. If you boot off ZFS and/or
1624	GELI, it might not be a good time to update.
1625
162620171125:
1627	PowerPC users must update loader(8) by rebuilding world before
1628	installing a new kernel, as the protocol connecting them has
1629	changed. Without the update, loader metadata will not be passed
1630	successfully to the kernel and users will have to enter their
1631	root partition at the kernel mountroot prompt to continue booting.
1632	Newer versions of loader can boot old kernels without issue.
1633
163420171110:
1635	The LOADER_FIREWIRE_SUPPORT build variable has been renamed to
1636	WITH/OUT_LOADER_FIREWIRE. LOADER_{NO_,}GELI_SUPPORT has been renamed
1637	to WITH/OUT_LOADER_GELI.
1638
163920171106:
1640	The naive and non-compliant support of posix_fallocate(2) in ZFS
1641	has been removed as of r325320.  The system call now returns EINVAL
1642	when used on a ZFS file.  Although the new behavior complies with the
1643	standard, some consumers are not prepared to cope with it.
1644	One known victim is lld prior to r325420.
1645
164620171102:
1647	Building in a FreeBSD src checkout will automatically create object
1648	directories now rather than store files in the current directory if
1649	'make obj' was not ran.  Calling 'make obj' is no longer necessary.
1650	This feature can be disabled by setting WITHOUT_AUTO_OBJ=yes in
1651	/etc/src-env.conf (not /etc/src.conf), or passing the option in the
1652	environment.
1653
165420171101:
1655	The default MAKEOBJDIR has changed from /usr/obj/<srcdir> for native
1656	builds, and /usr/obj/<arch>/<srcdir> for cross-builds, to a unified
1657	/usr/obj/<srcdir>/<arch>.  This behavior can be changed to the old
1658	format by setting WITHOUT_UNIFIED_OBJDIR=yes in /etc/src-env.conf,
1659	the environment, or with -DWITHOUT_UNIFIED_OBJDIR when building.
1660	The UNIFIED_OBJDIR option is a transitional feature that will be
1661	removed for 12.0 release; please migrate to the new format for any
1662	tools by looking up the OBJDIR used by 'make -V .OBJDIR' means rather
1663	than hardcoding paths.
1664
166520171028:
1666	The native-xtools target no longer installs the files by default to the
1667	OBJDIR.  Use the native-xtools-install target with a DESTDIR to install
1668	to ${DESTDIR}/${NXTP} where NXTP defaults to /nxb-bin.
1669
167020171021:
1671	As part of the boot loader infrastructure cleanup, LOADER_*_SUPPORT
1672	options are changing from controlling the build if defined / undefined
1673	to controlling the build with explicit 'yes' or 'no' values. They will
1674	shift to WITH/WITHOUT options to match other options in the system.
1675
167620171010:
1677	libstand has turned into a private library for sys/boot use only.
1678	It is no longer supported as a public interface outside of sys/boot.
1679
168020171005:
1681	The arm port has split armv6 into armv6 and armv7. armv7 is now
1682	a valid TARGET_ARCH/MACHINE_ARCH setting. If you have an armv7 system
1683	and are running a kernel from before r324363, you will need to add
1684	MACHINE_ARCH=armv7 to 'make buildworld' to do a native build.
1685
168620171003:
1687	When building multiple kernels using KERNCONF, non-existent KERNCONF
1688	files will produce an error and buildkernel will fail. Previously
1689	missing KERNCONF files silently failed giving no indication as to
1690	why, only to subsequently discover during installkernel that the
1691	desired kernel was never built in the first place.
1692
169320170912:
1694	The default serial number format for CTL LUNs has changed.  This will
1695	affect users who use /dev/diskid/* device nodes, or whose FibreChannel
1696	or iSCSI clients care about their LUNs' serial numbers.  Users who
1697	require serial number stability should hardcode serial numbers in
1698	/etc/ctl.conf .
1699
170020170912:
1701	For 32-bit arm compiled for hard-float support, soft-floating point
1702	binaries now always get their shared libraries from
1703	LD_SOFT_LIBRARY_PATH (in the past, this was only used if
1704	/usr/libsoft also existed). Only users with a hard-float ld.so, but
1705	soft-float everything else should be affected.
1706
170720170826:
1708	The geli password typed at boot is now hidden.  To restore the previous
1709	behavior, see geli(8) for configuration options.
1710
171120170825:
1712	Move PMTUD blackhole counters to TCPSTATS and remove them from bare
1713	sysctl values.  Minor nit, but requires a rebuild of both world/kernel
1714	to complete.
1715
171620170814:
1717	"make check" behavior (made in ^/head@r295380) has been changed to
1718	execute from a limited sandbox, as opposed to executing from
1719	${TESTSDIR}.
1720
1721	Behavioral changes:
1722	- The "beforecheck" and "aftercheck" targets are now specified.
1723	- ${CHECKDIR} (added in commit noted above) has been removed.
1724	- Legacy behavior can be enabled by setting
1725	  WITHOUT_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX in src.conf(5) or the environment.
1726
1727	If the limited sandbox mode is enabled, "make check" will execute
1728	"make distribution", then install, execute the tests, and clean up the
1729	sandbox if successful.
1730
1731	The "make distribution" and "make install" targets are typically run as
1732	root to set appropriate permissions and ownership at installation time.
1733	The end-user should set "WITH_INSTALL_AS_USER" in src.conf(5) or the
1734	environment if executing "make check" with limited sandbox mode using
1735	an unprivileged user.
1736
173720170808:
1738	Since the switch to GPT disk labels, fsck for UFS/FFS has been
1739	unable to automatically find alternate superblocks. As of r322297,
1740	the information needed to find alternate superblocks has been
1741	moved to the end of the area reserved for the boot block.
1742	Filesystems created with a newfs of this vintage or later
1743	will create the recovery information. If you have a filesystem
1744	created prior to this change and wish to have a recovery block
1745	created for your filesystem, you can do so by running fsck in
1746	foreground mode (i.e., do not use the -p or -y options). As it
1747	starts, fsck will ask ``SAVE DATA TO FIND ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS''
1748	to which you should answer yes.
1749
175020170728:
1751	As of r321665, an NFSv4 server configuration that services
1752	Kerberos mounts or clients that do not support the uid/gid in
1753	owner/owner_group string capability, must explicitly enable
1754	the nfsuserd daemon by adding nfsuserd_enable="YES" to the
1755	machine's /etc/rc.conf file.
1756
175720170722:
1758	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 5.0.0.
1759	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites
1760	and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
1761
176220170701:
1763	WITHOUT_RCMDS is now the default. Set WITH_RCMDS if you need the
1764	r-commands (rlogin, rsh, etc.) to be built with the base system.
1765
176620170625:
1767	The FreeBSD/powerpc platform now uses a 64-bit type for time_t.  This is
1768	a very major ABI incompatible change, so users of FreeBSD/powerpc must
1769	be careful when performing source upgrades.  It is best to run
1770	'make installworld' from an alternate root system, either a live
1771	CD/memory stick, or a temporary root partition.  Additionally, all ports
1772	must be recompiled.  powerpc64 is largely unaffected, except in the case
1773	of 32-bit compatibility.  All 32-bit binaries will be affected.
1774
177520170623:
1776	Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This
1777	will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited
1778	fashion.  This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the
1779	upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across
1780	the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though
1781	enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations.
1782
178320170620:
1784	Switch back to the BSDL dtc (Device Tree Compiler). Set WITH_GPL_DTC
1785	if you require the GPL compiler.
1786
178720170619:
1788	Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This
1789	will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited
1790	fashion.  This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the
1791	upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across
1792	the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though
1793	enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations.
1794
179520170618:
1796	The internal ABI used for communication between the NFS kernel modules
1797	was changed by r320085, so __FreeBSD_version was bumped to
1798	ensure all the NFS related modules are updated together.
1799
180020170617:
1801	The ABI of struct event was changed by extending the data
1802	member to 64bit and adding ext fields.  For upgrade, same
1803	precautions as for the entry 20170523 "ino64" must be
1804	followed.
1805
180620170531:
1807	The GNU roff toolchain has been removed from base. To render manpages
1808	which are not supported by mandoc(1), man(1) can fallback on GNU roff
1809	from ports (and recommends to install it).
1810	To render roff(7) documents, consider using GNU roff from ports or the
1811	heirloom doctools roff toolchain from ports via pkg install groff or
1812	via pkg install heirloom-doctools.
1813
181420170524:
1815	The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for
1816	smaller runtime footprint builds.  This is useful for embedded systems
1817	which only require one chipset support.
1818
1819	If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf:
1820
1821	if_ath_load="YES"
1822
1823	This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci.
1824	If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
1825	if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
1826
1827	If you want to selectively load things (eg on cheaper ARM/MIPS
1828	platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:
1829
1830	* load ath_hal
1831	* load the chip modules in question
1832	* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
1833	* load ath_main
1834	* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular
1835	  bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done.
1836
1837	For further comments/feedback, poke adrian@ .
1838
183920170523:
1840	The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends
1841	a number of types to 64 bits.  Upgrading in place requires care and
1842	adherence to the documented upgrade procedure.
1843
1844	If using a custom kernel configuration ensure that the
1845	COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option is included (as during the upgrade the
1846	system will be running the ino64 kernel with the existing world).
1847
1848	For the safest in-place upgrade begin by removing previous build
1849	artifacts via "rm -rf /usr/obj/*".  Then, carefully follow the full
1850	procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild everything and
1851	install it on the current system."  Specifically, a reboot is required
1852	after installing the new kernel before installing world. While an
1853	installworld normally works by accident from multiuser after rebooting
1854	the proper kernel, there are many cases where this will fail across this
1855	upgrade and installworld from single user is required.
1856
185720170424:
1858	The NATM framework including the en(4), fatm(4), hatm(4), and
1859	patm(4) devices has been removed.  Consumers should plan a
1860	migration before the end-of-life date for FreeBSD 11.
1861
186220170420:
1863	GNU diff has been replaced by a BSD licensed diff. Some features of GNU
1864	diff has not been implemented, if those are needed a newer version of
1865	GNU diff is available via the diffutils package under the gdiff name.
1866
186720170413:
1868	As of r316810 for ipfilter, keep frags is no longer assumed when
1869	keep state is specified in a rule. r316810 aligns ipfilter with
1870	documentation in man pages separating keep frags from keep state.
1871	This allows keep state to be specified without forcing keep frags
1872	and allows keep frags to be specified independently of keep state.
1873	To maintain previous behaviour, also specify keep frags with
1874	keep state (as documented in ipf.conf.5).
1875
187620170407:
1877	arm64 builds now use the base system LLD 4.0.0 linker by default,
1878	instead of requiring that the aarch64-binutils port or package be
1879	installed. To continue using aarch64-binutils, set
1880	CROSS_BINUTILS_PREFIX=/usr/local/aarch64-freebsd/bin .
1881
188220170405:
1883	The UDP optimization in entry 20160818 that added the sysctl
1884	net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast has been reverted.  L2 broadcast
1885	packets will no longer be treated as L3 broadcast packets.
1886
188720170331:
1888	Binds and sends to the loopback addresses, IPv6 and IPv4, will now
1889	use any explicitly assigned loopback address available in the jail
1890	instead of using the first assigned address of the jail.
1891
189220170329:
1893	The ctl.ko module no longer implements the iSCSI target frontend:
1894	cfiscsi.ko does instead.
1895
1896	If building cfiscsi.ko as a kernel module, the module can be loaded
1897	via one of the following methods:
1898	- `cfiscsi_load="YES"` in loader.conf(5).
1899	- Add `cfiscsi` to `$kld_list` in rc.conf(5).
1900	- ctladm(8)/ctld(8), when compiled with iSCSI support
1901	  (`WITH_ISCSI=yes` in src.conf(5))
1902
1903	Please see cfiscsi(4) for more details.
1904
190520170316:
1906	The mmcsd.ko module now additionally depends on geom_flashmap.ko.
1907	Also, mmc.ko and mmcsd.ko need to be a matching pair built from the
1908	same source (previously, the dependency of mmcsd.ko on mmc.ko was
1909	missing, but mmcsd.ko now will refuse to load if it is incompatible
1910	with mmc.ko).
1911
191220170315:
1913	The syntax of ipfw(8) named states was changed to avoid ambiguity.
1914	If you have used named states in the firewall rules, you need to modify
1915	them after installworld and before rebooting. Now named states must
1916	be prefixed with colon.
1917
191820170311:
1919	The old drm (sys/dev/drm/) drivers for i915 and radeon have been
1920	removed as the userland we provide cannot use them. The KMS version
1921	(sys/dev/drm2) supports the same hardware.
1922
192320170302:
1924	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 4.0.0.
1925	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites
1926	and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
1927
192820170221:
1929	The code that provides support for ZFS .zfs/ directory functionality
1930	has been reimplemented.  It's not possible now to create a snapshot
1931	by mkdir under .zfs/snapshot/.  That should be the only user visible
1932	change.
1933
193420170216:
1935	EISA bus support has been removed. The WITH_EISA option is no longer
1936	valid.
1937
193820170215:
1939	MCA bus support has been removed.
1940
194120170127:
1942	The WITH_LLD_AS_LD / WITHOUT_LLD_AS_LD build knobs have been renamed
1943	WITH_LLD_IS_LD / WITHOUT_LLD_IS_LD, for consistency with CLANG_IS_CC.
1944
194520170112:
1946	The EM_MULTIQUEUE kernel configuration option is deprecated now that
1947	the em(4) driver conforms to iflib specifications.
1948
194920170109:
1950	The igb(4), em(4) and lem(4) ethernet drivers are now implemented via
1951	IFLIB.  If you have a custom kernel configuration that excludes em(4)
1952	but you use igb(4), you need to re-add em(4) to your custom
1953	configuration.
1954
195520161217:
1956	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 3.9.1.
1957	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites
1958	and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
1959
196020161124:
1961	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 3.9.0.
1962	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites
1963	and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
1964
196520161119:
1966	The layout of the pmap structure has changed for powerpc to put the pmap
1967	statistics at the front for all CPU variations.  libkvm(3) and all tools
1968	that link against it need to be recompiled.
1969
197020161030:
1971	isl(4) and cyapa(4) drivers now require a new driver,
1972	chromebook_platform(4), to work properly on Chromebook-class hardware.
1973	On other types of hardware the drivers may need to be configured using
1974	device hints.  Please see the corresponding manual pages for details.
1975
197620161017:
1977	The urtwn(4) driver was merged into rtwn(4) and now consists of
1978	rtwn(4) main module + rtwn_usb(4) and rtwn_pci(4) bus-specific
1979	parts.
1980	Also, firmware for RTL8188CE was renamed due to possible name
1981	conflict (rtwnrtl8192cU(B) -> rtwnrtl8192cE(B))
1982
198320161015:
1984	GNU rcs has been removed from base.  It is available as packages:
1985	- rcs: Latest GPLv3 GNU rcs version.
1986	- rcs57: Copy of the latest version of GNU rcs (GPLv2) before it was
1987	removed from base.
1988
198920161008:
1990	Use of the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd, or cc_vegas congestion control
1991	modules now requires that the kernel configuration contain the
1992	TCP_HHOOK option. (This option is included in the GENERIC kernel.)
1993
199420161003:
1995	The WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY src.conf(5) knob has been retired.
1996	ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy is always installed as /usr/bin/objcopy.
1997
199820160924:
1999	Relocatable object files with the extension of .So have been renamed
2000	to use an extension of .pico instead.  The purpose of this change is
2001	to avoid a name clash with shared libraries on case-insensitive file
2002	systems.  On those file systems, foo.So is the same file as foo.so.
2003
200420160918:
2005	GNU rcs has been turned off by default.  It can (temporarily) be built
2006	again by adding WITH_RCS knob in src.conf.
2007	Otherwise, GNU rcs is available from packages:
2008	- rcs: Latest GPLv3 GNU rcs version.
2009	- rcs57: Copy of the latest version of GNU rcs (GPLv2) from base.
2010
201120160918:
2012	The backup_uses_rcs functionality has been removed from rc.subr.
2013
201420160908:
2015	The queue(3) debugging macro, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG, has been split into
2016	two separate components, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRACE and
2017	QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRASH.  Define both for the original
2018	QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG behavior.
2019
202020160824:
2021	r304787 changed some ioctl interfaces between the iSCSI userspace
2022	programs and the kernel.  ctladm, ctld, iscsictl, and iscsid must be
2023	rebuilt to work with new kernels.  __FreeBSD_version has been bumped
2024	to 1200005.
2025
202620160818:
2027	The UDP receive code has been updated to only treat incoming UDP
2028	packets that were addressed to an L2 broadcast address as L3
2029	broadcast packets.  It is not expected that this will affect any
2030	standards-conforming UDP application.  The new behaviour can be
2031	disabled by setting the sysctl net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast to
2032	0.
2033
203420160818:
2035	Remove the openbsd_poll system call.
2036	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
2037
203820160708:
2039	The stable/11 branch has been created from head@r302406.
2040
2041After branch N is created, entries older than the N-2 branch point are removed
2042from this file. After stable/14 is branched and current becomes FreeBSD 15,
2043entries older than stable/12 branch point will be removed from current's
2044UPDATING file.
2045
2046COMMON ITEMS:
2047
2048	General Notes
2049	-------------
2050	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
2051	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
2052	environment when searching for values for global variables.  To run
2053	your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make
2054	commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual page for more details.
2055	Occasionally a build failure will occur with "make -j" due to a race
2056	condition.  If this happens try building again without -j, and please
2057	report a bug if it happens consistently.
2058
2059	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to
2060	upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then
2061	do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path,
2062	and has the highest probability of being successful.  Please try this
2063	approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade.  Since
2064	the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgrade from
2065	anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the
2066	last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's
2067	an exception.
2068
2069	The update process will emit an error on an attempt to perform a build
2070	or install from a FreeBSD version below the earliest supported version.
2071	When updating from an older version the update should be performed one
2072	major release at a time, including running `make delete-old` at each
2073	step.
2074
2075	When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before
2076	installing anything can help undo problems. Not having a root shell
2077	around can lead to problems if pam has changed too much from your
2078	starting point to allow continued authentication after the upgrade.
2079
2080	This file should be read as a log of events. When a later event changes
2081	information of a prior event, the prior event should not be deleted.
2082	Instead, a pointer to the entry with the new information should be
2083	placed in the old entry. Readers of this file should also sanity check
2084	older entries before relying on them blindly. Authors of new entries
2085	should write them with this in mind.
2086
2087	ZFS notes
2088	---------
2089	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version (via zpool upgrade),
2090	always follow these three steps:
2091
2092	1) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
2093	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
2094
2095	2) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive (only required when
2096	doing a zpool upgrade):
2097
2098	When booting on x86 via BIOS, use the following to update the ZFS boot
2099	block on the freebsd-boot partition of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
2100		gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i $N ada0
2101	The value $N will typically be 1.  For EFI booting, see EFI notes.
2102
2103	3) zpool upgrade the root pool. New bootblocks will work with old
2104	pools, but not vice versa, so they need to be updated before any
2105	zpool upgrade.
2106
2107	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.
2108
2109	EFI notes
2110	---------
2111
2112	There are two locations the boot loader can be installed into. The
2113	current location (and the default) is \efi\freebsd\loader.efi and using
2114	efibootmgr(8) to configure it. The old location, that must be used on
2115	deficient systems that don't honor efibootmgr(8) protocols, is the
2116	fallback location of \EFI\BOOT\BOOTxxx.EFI. Generally, you will copy
2117	/boot/loader.efi to this location, but on systems installed a long time
2118	ago the ESP may be too small and /boot/boot1.efi may be needed unless
2119	the ESP has been expanded in the meantime.
2120
2121	Recent systems will have the ESP mounted on /boot/efi, but older ones
2122	may not have it mounted at all, or mounted in a different
2123	location. Older arm SD images with MBR used /boot/msdos as the
2124	mountpoint. The ESP is a MSDOS filesystem.
2125
2126	The EFI boot loader rarely needs to be updated. For ZFS booting,
2127	however, you must update loader.efi before you do 'zpool upgrade' the
2128	root zpool, otherwise the old loader.efi may reject the upgraded zpool
2129	since it does not automatically understand some new features.
2130
2131	See loader.efi(8) and uefi(8) for more details.
2132
2133	To build a kernel
2134	-----------------
2135	If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
2136	a few days old), you should follow this procedure.  It is the most
2137	failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
2138
2139	make kernel-toolchain
2140	make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
2141	make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
2142
2143	If you are running kernel modules from ports, see FOOTNOTE [1].
2144
2145	To test a kernel once
2146	---------------------
2147	If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
2148	if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
2149	debugging information) run
2150	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
2151	nextboot -k testkernel
2152
2153	To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
2154	-----------------------------------------------------------
2155	# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
2156	# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
2157
2158	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>		[2]
2159	make buildworld
2160	<make sure any needed PORTS_MODULES are set>	[1]

2165	make installworld
2166	etcupdate -B					[4]
2167	make delete-old					[6]
2168	<reboot>
2169
2170	To cross-install current onto a separate partition
2171	--------------------------------------------------
2172	# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
2173	# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories.   A partition
2174	# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
2175	# size.
2176
2177	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>

2185	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
2186	cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab 		   # if newfs'd
2187	<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
2188	<reboot into current>
2189	<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
2190	<maybe install compatibility libraries from ports/misc/compat*>
2191	<reboot>
2192
2193
2194	To upgrade in-place from stable to current
2195	----------------------------------------------
2196	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>		[2]
2197	make buildworld					[9]
2198	<make sure any needed PORTS_MODULES are set>	[1]

2203	make installworld
2204	etcupdate -B					[4]
2205	make delete-old					[6]
2206	<reboot>
2207
2208	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
2209	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
2210	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
2211	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
2212	the UPDATING entries.
2213
2214	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
2215	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
2216	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
2217	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
2218	much fewer pitfalls.
2219
2220FOOTNOTES:
2221
2222	[1] If you have third party modules, such as drm-kmod or vmware, you
2223	should disable them at this point so they don't crash your system on
2224	reboot. Alternatively, you should rebuild all the modules you have in
2225	your system and install them as well.  If you are running -current, you
2226	should seriously consider placing all sources to all the modules for
2227	your system (or symlinks to them) in /usr/local/sys/modules so this
2228	happens automatically. If all your modules come from ports, then adding
2229	the port origin directories to PORTS_MODULES instead is also automatic
2230	and effective, eg:
2231	     PORTS_MODULES+=graphics/drm-kmod graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod
2232
2233	[2] To make complete dumps on zfs(4), use bectl(8), which
2234	creates bootable snapshots of configurable depth that are
2235	selectable via the bootloader. For ufs(4), use dump(8) and
2236	restore(8).
2237
2238	[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
2239		fsck -p
2240		mount -u /
2241		mount -a
2242		sh /etc/rc.d/zfs start	# mount zfs filesystem, if needed
2243		cd src			# full path to source
2244		adjkerntz -i		# if CMOS is wall time
2245	Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that you boot
2246	into single user mode to do the installworld.
2247
2248	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step
2249	can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
2250	system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
2251	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
2252	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
2253	for potential gotchas.  See etcupdate(8) for more information.
2254
2255	[5] Usually this step is a no-op.  However, from time to time
2256	you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
2257	step.
2258
2259	[6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries
2260	can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
2261	sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.
2262
2263	[8] The new kernel must be able to run existing binaries used by an
2264	installworld.  When upgrading across major versions, the new kernel's
2265	configuration must include the correct COMPAT_FREEBSD<n> option for
2266	existing binaries (e.g. COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to run 11.x binaries).  Failure
2267	to do so may leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover. A
2268	GENERIC kernel will include suitable compatibility options to run
2269	binaries from older branches.  Note that the ability to run binaries
2270	from unsupported branches is not guaranteed.
2271
2272	Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
2273	last time you updated your kernel config file. Options also
2274	change over time, so you may need to adjust your custom kernels
2275	for these as well.
2276
2277	[9] If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
2278	"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
2279	override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
2280
2281	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
2282	not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
2283	warn if it is improperly defined.

2286This file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major
2287breakages in tracking -current.  It is not guaranteed to be a complete
2288list of such breakages, and only contains entries since September 23, 2011.
2289If you need to see UPDATING entries from before that date, you will need
2290to fetch an UPDATING file from an older FreeBSD release.
