&os; &release.current; Release Notes The &os; Project $FreeBSD$ 2015 The &os; Documentation Project &tm-attrib.freebsd; &tm-attrib.ibm; &tm-attrib.ieee; &tm-attrib.intel; &tm-attrib.sparc; &tm-attrib.general; The release notes for &os; &release.current; contain a summary of the changes made to the &os; base system on the &release.branch; development line. This document lists applicable security advisories that were issued since the last release, as well as significant changes to the &os; kernel and userland. Some brief remarks on upgrading are also presented. Introduction This document contains the release notes for &os; &release.current;. It describes recently added, changed, or deleted features of &os;. It also provides some notes on upgrading from previous versions of &os;. The &release.type; distribution to which these release notes apply represents the latest point along the &release.branch; development branch since &release.branch; was created. Information regarding pre-built, binary &release.type; distributions along this branch can be found at &release.url;. The &release.type; distribution to which these release notes apply represents a point along the &release.branch; development branch between &release.prev; and the future &release.next;. Information regarding pre-built, binary &release.type; distributions along this branch can be found at &release.url;. This distribution of &os; &release.current; is a &release.type; distribution. It can be found at &release.url; or any of its mirrors. More information on obtaining this (or other) &release.type; distributions of &os; can be found in the Obtaining &os; appendix to the &os; Handbook. All users are encouraged to consult the release errata before installing &os;. The errata document is updated with late-breaking information discovered late in the release cycle or after the release. Typically, it contains information on known bugs, security advisories, and corrections to documentation. An up-to-date copy of the errata for &os; &release.current; can be found on the &os; Web site. This document describes the most user-visible new or changed features in &os; since &release.prev;. Typical release note items document recent security advisories issued after &release.prev;, new drivers or hardware support, new commands or options, major bug fixes, or contributed software upgrades. They may also list changes to major ports/packages or release engineering practices. Clearly the release notes cannot list every single change made to &os; between releases; this document focuses primarily on security advisories, user-visible changes, and major architectural improvements. Upgrading from Previous Releases of &os; Binary upgrades between RELEASE versions (and snapshots of the various security branches) are supported using the &man.freebsd-update.8; utility. The binary upgrade procedure will update unmodified userland utilities, as well as unmodified GENERIC kernel distributed as a part of an official &os; release. The &man.freebsd-update.8; utility requires that the host being upgraded have Internet connectivity. Source-based upgrades (those based on recompiling the &os; base system from source code) from previous versions are supported, according to the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING. Upgrading &os; should only be attempted after backing up all data and configuration files. Security and Errata This section lists the various Security Advisories and Errata Notices since &release.prev;. Security Advisories &security; Errata Notices &errata; Userland This section covers changes and additions to userland applications, contributed software, and system utilities. Userland Configuration Changes   Userland Application Changes The &man.jail.8; utility has been updated to include a new flag, -l, which ensures a clean environment in the target jail when used. Additionally, &man.jail.8; will run a shell within the target jail when run no commands are specified. The &man.mkimg.1; utility has been updated to include support for NTFS filesystems in both MBR and GPT partitioning schemes. The &man.ar.1; utility now enables deterministic mode (-D) by default. This behavior can be disabled by specifying the -U flag. The &man.pciconf.8; utility has been updated to use the PCI ID database from the misc/pciids package, if present, falling back to the PCI ID database in the &os; base system. Contributed Software The &man.libarchive.3; library has been updated to properly skip a sparse file entry in a &man.tar.1; file, which would previously produce errors. Installation and Configuration Tools   <filename class="directory">/etc/rc.d</filename> Scripts   <filename class="directory">/etc/periodic</filename> Scripts   Runtime Libraries and API   ABI Compatibility   Kernel This section covers changes to kernel configurations, system tuning, and system control parameters that are not otherwise categorized. Kernel Bug Fixes The &man.kqueue.2; system call has been updated to handle write events to files larger than 2 gigabytes. Kernel Configuration   System Tuning and Controls The &man.uart.4; driver has been updated to allow tuning packets per second captured during runtime. Devices and Drivers This section covers changes and additions to devices and device drivers since &release.prev;. Device Drivers   Storage Drivers The CTL High Availability implementation has been rewritten. + + The &man.ctl.4; driver has been updated + to support CD-ROM and removable devices. Network Drivers   Hardware Support This section covers general hardware support for physical machines, hypervisors, and virtualization environments, as well as hardware changes and updates that do not otherwise fit in other sections of this document. Hardware Support   Virtualization Support The &man.xen.4; driver has been updated to include support for blkif indirect segment I/O. ARM Support   Storage This section covers changes and additions to file systems and other storage subsystems, both local and networked. General Storage   Networked Storage   ZFS The &man.zfs.8; l2arc code has been updated to take ashift into account when gathering buffers to be written to the l2arc device. &man.geom.4;   Boot Loader Changes This section covers the boot loader, boot menu, and other boot-related changes. Boot Loader Changes   Boot Menu Changes   Networking This section describes changes that affect networking in &os;. Network Protocols   Ports Collection and Package Infrastructure This section covers changes to the &os; Ports Collection, package infrastructure, and package maintenance and installation tools. Infrastructure Changes   Packaging Changes   Documentation This section covers changes to the &os; Documentation Project sources and toolchain. Documentation Source Changes   Documentation Toolchain Changes   Release Engineering and Integration This section convers changes that are specific to the &os; Release Engineering processes.
