-20000308:
- The binary interface of perl to its modules changed. You
- will need to recompile any perl moudles after an
- installworld. This includes all ports matching the pattern
- /usr/ports/*/p5-*.
-
-20000303:
- CMSG_XXX macros offset in <sys/socket.h> has changed to
- conform RFC-2292. All affected applications have been
- corrected. The i386 platform's offsets haven't changed, but
- the alpha's did. When you build and install new kernel on
- FreeBSD/alpha, you must also do a make world.
-
-20000225:
- OpenSSH has been added to FreeBSD. This may conflict with the
- ports/security/ssh port since it installs binaries into
- /usr/bin and the port goes into /usr/local/bin. Most paths
- have /usr/bin in the path before /usr/local/bin, so problems
- may arise. If you don't want OpenSSH, add NO_OPENSSH=yes to
- your make.conf.
-
- You will also need to enable OpenSSH in /etc/rc.conf if you
- want to run the new servers. You may need to move your host
- key and other config files from /usr/local/etc to /etc/ssh.
-
- OpenSSH's command line parsing, available options and default
- settings aren't the same as ssh, so some care needs to be
- taken in its operation. One should do a full audit of all
- configuration settings.
-
-20000205:
- The xinstall problem has kinda sorta been corrected. The
- following is known to work by the author of UPDATING. It
- is what he did to update his laptop. It is likely the same
- effect as the work around listed in 20000129.
- make buildworld
- make installworld This will fail
- cd usr.bin/xinstall
- make clean all install NOSHARED=YES
- cd ../..
- make installworld
- If it doesn't work for you, then I'm sure that there will be
- another 100 messages in -current.
-
-20000204:
- libipsec version number changed from 2 to 0. The original
- commit of Jan 6 incorrectly set this to 2. Remove
- /usr/lib/libipsec.so.2* before the buildworld and rebuild
- anything that uses libipsec.so after you install the new
- version.
-
-20000201:
- The rcmd related functions have been aligned with other BSD
- implementations. rlogind and rshd have been changed to use
- the new API. A make world is recommended to keep them in sync
- with the libraries they use.
-
- http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/net/rcmd.c
- has the details.
-
-20000129:
- {set,get}flags have been added to the tree for rather dubious
- reasons.
-
- IF AND ONLY IF installworld fails:
- make -k -DNOFSCHG installworld
- make installworld
- This issue was resolved Feb 5, 2000.
-
-20000125:
- rcmd_af() is added for multiple address family support. rsh
- and rlogin have been updated to use this to support INET6. A
- make world is recommended to keep them in sync with the
- libraries they use.
-
-20000124:
- The default way that virtual tables in our default C++
- compiler has changed. We used to use THUNKS for virtual
- inheritance. Unfortunately there are bugs that The GCC
- developers thought would be fixed in GCC 2.95. However it
- isn't.
-
- After this change existing applications written in C++ may
- give errors like below when you try to run them:
-
-/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.3: Undefined symbol "__vt_7filebuf"
-
- The only fix is to rebuild the application and any C++
- libraries used.
-
-20000124:
- The management of next_writeable has been move from the
- kernel to userspace. This means that the burncd command
- must be in sync with the kernel. So make world is your
- friend.
-
-20000117:
- GNU texinfo upgraded to 4.0. It is recommended that you use
- make buildworld to update.
-
-20000117:
- CAM_VERSION has been increased. Recompile all programs that
- depend on it (tosha, camcontrol, etc) when moving to kernels
- past this date.
-
-20000115:
- pccard ioctls changed with a commit to have the kernel tell
- pccardd which device it created, rather than having pccardd
- dictate it to the kernel. Recompile kernel and
- pccardd/pccardc together. pccardd/pccardc rely on a kernel
- Makefile that must be installed prior to building them. Make
- world will automatically take care of this issue, but you need
- to know if you are building by hand.
-
-20000109:
- Your kernel config files need to be changed to s/controller/device/
- in them. You will need a new version of config to do this.
-
-20000107:
- chown & chgrp moved again
-
- This is a heads up to let you know that you need to
- rm -f /sbin/chown /bin/chgrp
- after your next `make world'. Additionally you need to install
- a new /dev/MAKEDEV (mergemaster(8) will assist you in this).
-
-20000107:
- SHA-1 password support gone
-
- As warned yesterday, I've just removed the ability for
- libcrypt to understand SHA-1 passwords. This was present but
- undocumented in the tree for the past few months and was
- removed so it can be reimplemented properly as part of a
- revamped libcrypt at a later date. Anyone who was actually
- making use of the feature will have to update their passwords
- back to MD5 before they reinstall the library.
-
-20000106:
- ioctl numbers changed for dvdio ioctls. You will need to recompile
- anything that uses them. wormcontrol has been deprecated in
- favor of burncd.
-
-19991223:
- Building linux and svr4 compatibility into the kernel now
- requires /usr/bin/genassym. Go to /usr/src/usr.bin/genassym,
- do "make obj ; make clean depend all install" before building
- your kernel.
-
-19991218:
- sendmail.cf has moved from /etc/sendmail.cf to
- /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. You may need to adjust /etc/rc.conf
- and /etc/rc to cope as well as moving sendmail.cf.
-
-19991216:
- ntp 4.0.98 has replaced the ancient xntpd. The daemon name
- changed from xntpd to ntpd, so you may need to update your
- /etc/rc.conf file. The ntp.conf files are compatible with the
- old release, unless you are using a local reference clock.
- Details about ntp4 can be found at http://www.ntp.org/.
-
- xntpd will be cvs removed from the repo in about a week.
-
-19991213:
- Soren updated the ata driver. Please update to at least this
- version before submitting bug reports.
-
-19991210:
- The ata driver has become the primary ata/ide/atapi driver in
- the kernel. The wd driver is obsolete. You should upgrade your
- machine to the new ata driver. You will need to follow the
- directions for updating the devices in the 19991205 entry. You
- will need to update all occurances of wd to ad in your config files
- (/etc/rc.conf, /etc/fstab, etc). A compatibility device exists
- for wd for the time being, but once you have determined that
- ata is working for you, transition to the new ad devices.
-
-19991205:
- Block devices are going away. You will need to update your /dev
- tree with a fresh copy of MAKEDEV for things to always work in
- the future. fsck is unable to cope with dirty file systems
- after this change, so it may work for you or it may not.
-
- See "To rebuild disk /dev entries" at the end of the file.
-
- *** All uses of block devices must be converted to char devices.
- *** Likely the only thing impacted is dumpdev in /etc/rc.conf
-
-19991204:
- The dc interface has replaced al, ax, dm, pn and mx. The former
- have been removed.
-
-19991204:
- Support for the old 'sd' device names has been removed in
- favor of 'da'. Please update your /etc/fstab, /etc/rc.conf
- and any other places you might have sd names cached.
- Generally these changes are as simple as s=/dev/sd=/dev/da=g,
- but be careful to make sure that things are really that
- simple. You may also need to create /dev entries for the da
- devices as well.
-
- See "To rebuild disk /dev entries" at the end of the file.
-
-19991203:
- BAD144 support has been removed. Cope or replace the hardware.
-
-19991129:
- ALPHA users take note. All klds will need to be recompiled for
- kernels build after this date. It is a good time to update since
- pal.s will be going away soon.
-
-19991126:
- MFS_ROOT and MFS_ROOT_SIZE are gone, replaced by MD_ROOT and
- MD_ROOT_SIZE options in the md driver. md driver now deals with
- the hacks. You should add md driver to kerneles that have
- MFS_ROOT, et al. See GENERIC or LINT for details.
-
-19991125:
- The ep changed a while ago and can no longer be used with hard
- wired addresses in the config file.
-
-19991122:
- The bridge drivers for sound cards have been committed. Please
- see LINT for instructions for your card, if it still works at
- all.
-
-19991113:
- Gcc 2.95.2 is now the default compiler.
-
-19991030:
- /etc/radius.conf file format has changed.The format change is
- as follows. Each server line in the file should now begin
- with a new field containing either "auth" for RADIUS
- authentication, or "acct" for RADIUS accounting. Formerly
- only authentication was supported. If the first field isn't
- "auth" or "acct" then the code assumes that "auth" is
- intended. (That's the compatibility hack.)
-
-19991015:
- PCCARD has been updated to attach pcic to the isa bus. Therefore
- you will need to modify kernel config files that have pcic/card
- in them as follows:
- controller pcic0 at isa?
- controller pcic1 at isa?
- controller card0
-
-19990929:
- The sigset_t datatype has been changed from an integral type
- to a compound type and can hold 128 signals. Syscalls directly
- or indirectly using the new sigset_t have been added as to
- maintain compatibility with existing binaries. A new kernel must
- be made and installed and booted with before a make world can
- be done.
-
- ***************************************************************
- RECOMPILE AND REINSTALL KERNEL BEFORE MAKEWORLD
- ***************************************************************
-
-19990919:
- New jail syscall format requires recompilation of jail(8) with
- fresh headers installed (or a make world will do it for you).
-
-19990914:
- Matt Dillon checked in many vm related things and sent a heads up
- to -current urging caution and to report vm problems to him.
- As of the 19th, no killer problems have been reported, but you
- have been warned.
-
-19990908:
- The new miibus has been added to the system. If you are using
- the dm, rl, sf, sis, ste, tl, wb or xl drivers, you need to
- add "controller miibus0" to your config file.
-
-19990905:
- /var/cron/log has been moved to /var/log/cron to get all the
- log files in one place.
-
-19990831:
- tn3270 has been removed from the base system and added as a port.
-
-19990830:
- User-visible TCP timers are now expressed in units of 1ms, instead
- of 500ms, so if you've customized any timer values under
- ``net.inet.tcp'', multiply them by 500 to preserve TCP's behavior.
-
-19990828:
- RCS Id tags changed to FreeBSD. This will cause huge cvsup
- updates.
-
-19990821:
- On 28-May-1999 libreadline was upgraded from readline-2.2 to
- readline-4.0. At that time the shared library major version
- number was bumped from "3" to "4". It has been deemed that
- the interface change between readline-2.2 and readline-4.0 was
- not sufficient to warrant the version number bump.
-
- Thus I have reverted it back to "3". You will need to perform
- the below immediately before your next ``make world'':
- cd /usr/lib
- ls -l libreadline.so.4
- (if you have /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4)
- mv libreadline.so.4 libreadline.so.3
- rm -f libreadline.so
- ln -s libreadline.so.3 libreadline.so
-
-19990801:
- Changes to the pccardd kernel interface require that you recompile
- pccardd for new kernel.
-
-19980725:
- The ipfw interface to the kernel has changed. You will need to
- recompile ipfw programs for the new kernel.
-
-19990715:
- The bpfilter device has been renamed to bpf. You will need to
- change your config files in order to enable this in newer kernels.
-
-19990704:
- src/contrib/sys/softupdates is moving to
- src/sys/contrib/softupdates. Update your symbolic links/etc.
-
-19990702:
- Major changes have been made to vinum and its interface. See
- the man page (vinum(8)) for details. Look at the concat,
- mirror and stripe commands, as well as the SIMPLIFIED
- CONFIGURATION section.
-
-19990628:
- Newsyslog.conf has had a minor, but potentially dangerous,
- change to its username/group syntax. The old syntax was
- user.group, while the new syntax is user:group.
-
-19990627:
- Inetd wrapping default has changed. Please see the updated
- man page for details.
-
-19990623:
- Compaq Smart Raid driver committed as ida.
-
-19990622:
- The second phase of syscons cleanup has happened. Some
- functionality has been made optional. For details, see
- http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update-June.txt
- Everyone will need to re-config(8) their kernels, but old
- binaries will work with the new kernel.
-
-19990620:
- IPFW uid/gid-based filtering support has been committed. This
- breaks binary compatibility with previous copies of
- ipfw(8). Any utilities using the ioctl()s of ipfw (especially
- ipfw(8)) need to be recompiled with the newest headers
- installed.
-
-19990618:
- Inetd now wraps all stream-based services, including internals.
- Syslog "severity" options are honoured. Installed syslog.conf
- and hosts.allow should be checked.
-
-19990509:
- Most of the problems with newbus have been corrected, but
- it is still current and evolving.
-
- libcam's ABI has changed. You must recompile the world and
- any ports that use it.
-
-19990427:
- Massive changes to SMP went into the tree that should speed
- things up. However, if you experience problems with SMP
- machines, you can back off to the PRE_SMP_VMSHARE tag in the
- CVS repository (or run an MP kernel).
-
-19990420:
- Pccardd and the pccard bus in general seem to be broken or
- most people. Soren has patches to make it better for some,
- but not all people. Work is underway to make it better for
- all people.
-
-19990416:
- new bus changes integrated into -current. Many problems were
- initially reported, but most have been fixed. You'll need a
- new config and to tweak your kernel config file the way that
- GENERIC was tweaked. Keep a copy of your old kernel when
- upgrading in case your new kernel doesn't work (and report the
- breakage to current@freebsd.org).
-
- As of 19990421 the remaining problems/quirks are
-
- o sio no longer supports pnp nor pccard. This will be corrected,
- but the new pccard code needs to be completed.
- o Some of the sound drivers broke for some people. It seems
- inconsistant as to who/what/when/where things broke.
- o Duplicate device entries in your config do not work. Previously
- they were silently ignored. psm0 seems to be the most common
- duplicate choice, although some reports have come in from people
- that wired their scsi disk entries.
- o You must move the keyboard and mouse attachments from the
- isa bus to the atkbdc bus. See GENERIC for details.
- o Machines with multiple host-pci bridges (Intel 450NX) will not
- probe the second pci bus.
- o Some probe ordering may have changed, so device naming may change
- with the new kernel. If you have multiple devices, please double
- check to make sure they didn't move. This is especially true
- for cards on different buses.
- o The bus attachment for vga0 is always isa0 and never pci0 when
- it is in fact a pci card. It is safe to ignore this.
- o The format of the boot messages has changed (and is not
- guaranteed to be constant for a while) so you may see this
- in some shell scripts that diff dmesg from day to day as well
- as scripts that parse dmesg output.
-
-19990414:
- cc -aout sometimes has problems compiling with -g, remove -g
- from those compilation units affected until this is corrected.
-
- cc -aout has problems with producing some threaded libraries,
- so make world -DWANT_AOUT is not functional at this time.
-
- Since make world for a.out isn't functional, you cannot do
- make aout-to-elf from a pre-egcs a.out system. To work around
- this problem, make aout-to-elf using 3.1-stable first (or a
- pre egcs -current) and then a simple make world will take you
- the rest of the way with a -current source base.
-
-19990413:
- Make -j works again for make world. As always, use it with
- care, and be sure to try a make world w/o -j before reporting
- problems (that is, know if the problem exists w/o -j before
- reporting the problem with -j).
-
-19990413:
- Note cc -aout, which had been broken since the conversion to
- egcs, now supposedly works. If you have rebuilt things like
- XFree86 a.out libraries, you should rebuild them again or
- progams that use them, including netscape, will fail to work.
-
-19990409:
- NOTE: New c++ compiler cannot be used with c++ binaries from
- the old compiler and vice versa.
-
-19990408:
- In recent days egcs has been imported into the tree. A number
- of problems have been discussed in -current. Here is a highlight
- of a few of the more common ones. With the exception of make
- -j n, they have been claimed to have been fixed.
-
- c++ is broken after make world: This is correct. Because we
- changed compilers two make worlds are necessary to get C++
- working again. The code generated by the old compiler and new
- compiler are not compatible, so things wind up being
- undefined.
-
- cpp is broken in make world: There was a window where cpp
- would be built incorrectly. The fix for this is
- cd src/gnu/usr.bin/cc
- make clean
- make all
- make install
- and this should correct your problems. See the -current
- archives for a version of this that does moer cleaning.
-
- Make -j n doesn't work. Work contiunes to make this work,
- I've seen no reports of success as of April 7th.
-
-19990329:
- Previously, one would define "NOAOUT" to keep from building
- the legacy a.out bits. Now one would define "WANT_AOUT" to
- build them.
-
-19990316:
- The name of the old wd.c and atapi.c based CDROM driver has
- been changed back to wcd. So update your config file to use
- "device wcd" instead of "device acd".
-
-19990314:
- For those of you using the VN device as a loadable module,
- please be aware that the new VN device has been committed to
- -4.x and cannot yet be used as a loadable module. This will
- be fixed in the future.
-
-19990309:
- New loader.rc mechanism. Please see src/sys/boot/README for
- details.
-
-19990225:
- struct proc size changed. Recompile kernel and the
- usual suspects. Make world if in doubt.
-
-19990214:
- The nlpt driver has changed names back to be the lpt driver.
- See ppbus(4) or http://www.freebsd.org/~nsouch/ppbus.html
- for proper configuration details.
-
-19990210:
- The 'lpt' driver is now obsolete. Replace it with the 'nlpt'
- driver and 'ppbus' controller combination.
-
-19990209:
- New devstat API requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat,
- iostat, vmstat and rpc.rstatd. A new kernel is also required.
- make world + building a kernel should do all of this. Any
- ports that use devstat need to be recompiled as well.
-
-19990125:
- Linux threads options has gone away (they are now standard in
- the FreeBSD kernel). A recompile of all libkvm using programs
- is in order (or better yet a make world).
-
-19990122:
- On or about this date there was a small window when the boot
- blocks had some minor problems which seemed to force one to
- edit /etc/fstab. This has been corrected, if you are seeing this
- problem, please rebuild and reinstall your boot blocks.
-
-19990121:
- Vinum has changed. The "vinum read" command has changed. For
- updates, please see
-
-http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=800363+0+current/freebsd-current
-
- for details.
-
- Matt Dillon committed a boatload of VM changes, for
- information please see
-
-http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=886676+0+current/freebsd-current
- or
-http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=827400+0+current/freebsd-current
-
- for details. These changes will likely not impact anybody,
- but large chagnes to the VM need at least a heads up.
-
-19990120:
- Stable branch created. You might want to consider using this
- branch. It is tagged with RELENG_3.
-
-19990119:
- More work on the syscons driver has been committed. Since
- files moved around, you will need to reconfigure your kernel,
- and make clean; make depend before rebuilding the kernel. No
- config file changes are needed.
-
-19990111:
- New keyboard and video card drivers are introduced as the first
- stage of console driver reorganization. You are required to
- update the kernel configuration file and rebuild the kernel.
- kbdcontrol, vidcontrol, and screen savers also need recompilation.
- The instruction can be found in
-
- http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update.txt
-
- It has notes on splash screen too.
-
-19990106:
- Robert Nordier was kind enough to make this page to enable people to
- install the new bootblocks:
-
- http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot.txt
-
- When updating to ELF, make sure that you have updated your
- /etc/rc files which have different ldconfig invocations for
- elf and aout. Otherwise things like X will stop working with
- messages about being unable to find library files. The
- mergemaster utility in ports/sysutils/mergemaster helps to
- keep critical files like this in sync, and its use is
- recommended.
-
-19990104:
- Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in
-
- http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html
-
- about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions
- for doing the upgrade.
-
-19981230:
- You should install new bootblocks now. The ELF kernel will
- become default soon. In addition, you'll need to upgrade
- your userland programs to ELF before then as well. Use
- make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old
- a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will
- continue to work, even after the upgrade). See src/Makefile
- for more details.
-
-19981224:
- The old wcd driver has been deleted from the kernel. The
- driver that replaces it is named acd. You'll need to change
- this in your configuration files.
-
- Failure to do this will result in "ATAPI CD-ROMs not
- configured" at boot time.
-
- The floppy tape driver (ft) has been removed from the kernel,
- with no replacement driver.
-
-19981202:
- New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they
- aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have.
-
-19981201:
- New user/group added: bind. From src/etc/master.passwd and
- src/etc/group:
- % grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/group
- bind:*:53:
- % grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/master.passwd
- tty:*:4:65533::0:0:Tty Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
- kmem:*:5:65533::0:0:KMem Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
- bind:*:53:53::0:0:Bind Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
-
-19981118:
- PAM integrated into the tree. Requires new /etc/pam.conf file
- to silence warnings from authentication programs (login, etc).
- See src/etc/pam.conf for a sample.
