This information includes security advisories, as well as news relating to the software or documentation that could affect its operation or usability. An up-to-date version of this document should always be consulted before installing this version of &os;. This errata document for &os; &release.prev; will be maintained until the release of &os; &release.next;. Introduction This errata document contains late-breaking news about &os; &release.prev; Before installing this version, it is important to consult this document to learn about any post-release discoveries or problems that may already have been found and fixed. Any version of this errata document actually distributed with the release (for example, on a CDROM distribution) will be out of date by definition, but other copies are kept updated on the Internet and should be consulted as the current errata for this release. These other copies of the errata are located at , plus any sites which keep up-to-date mirrors of this location. Source and binary snapshots of &os; &release.branch; also contain up-to-date copies of this document (as of the time of the snapshot). For a list of all &os; CERT security advisories, see . Security Advisories &security; Errata Notices &errata; Open Issues &os;/&arch.i386; &release.prev; running as a guest operating system on VirtualBox can have a problem with disk I/O access. It depends on some specific hardware configuration and does not depend on a specific version of VirtualBox or host operating system. It has been reported that instability may be present on virtual machines running on other hypervisors, such as Xen or KVM. It causes various errors and makes &os; quite unstable. Although the cause is still unclear, disabling unmapped I/O works as a workaround. To disable it, choose Escape to loader prompt in the boot menu and enter the following lines from &man.loader.8; prompt, after an OK: set vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed=0 boot Note that the following line has to be added to /boot/loader.conf after a boot. It disables unmapped I/O at every boot: vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed=0 &os;/&arch.i386; &release.prev; installed on ZFS may crash during boot when the ZFS pool mount is attempted while booting an unmodified GENERIC kernel. As described in /usr/src/UPDATING entry 20121223, rebuilding the kernel with options KSTACK_PAGES=4 has been observed to resolve the boot-time crash. This, however, is not an ideal solution for inclusion in the GENERIC kernel configuration, as increasing KSTACK_PAGES implicitly decreases available usermode threads in an environment that is already resource-starved. Taking into account the heavy resource requirements of ZFS, in addition to the &arch.i386;-specific tuning requirements for general workloads, using ZFS with the &os;/&arch.i386; GENERIC kernel is strongly discouraged. If installing &os;/&arch.i386; on ZFS, it is possible to configure the system after installation to increase the KSTACK_PAGES. When prompted by &man.bsdinstall.8; to perform additional post-installation configuration to the system, select [ YES ]. This procedure requires the system sources available locally. If the System source code distribution was not selected during installation, it can be obtained using svnlite: &prompt.root; mkdir -p /usr/src &prompt.root; svnlite co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/10.2 /usr/src Build the kernel-toolchain required to rebuild the kernel: &prompt.root; make -C /usr/src kernel-toolchain Next, create a kernel configuration file to increase the KSTACK_PAGES option: &prompt.root; printf "include GENERIC\noptions KSTACK_PAGES=4\n" > /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ZFS Then build and install the ZFS kernel: &prompt.root; make -C /usr/src buildkernel KERNCONF=ZFS &prompt.root; make -C /usr/src installkernel KERNCONF=ZFS It is extremely important to take note that, by default, &man.freebsd-update.8; will install the GENERIC kernel configuration, and as such, &man.freebsd-update.8; consumers are strongly encouraged to avoid &os;-provided kernel binary upgrades with such configurations. Due to an incompatibility between &man.bsdconfig.8; and &man.pkg.8;, packages included on the &os; dvd installer will not be recognized by &man.bsdconfig.8;. To install packages from the dvd1.iso installer, create the /dist target directory, and manually mount the dvd1.iso ISO: &prompt.root; mkdir -p /dist &prompt.root; mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /dist Be sure to use the correct /dev device path for the dvd1.iso ISO installer. Next, set REPOS_DIR to the path of the repos/ directory within the installer so &man.pkg.8; will use the correct repository metadata. If using &man.sh.1;: &prompt.root; export REPOS_DIR=/dist/packages/repos If using &man.csh.1;: &prompt.root; setenv REPOS_DIR /dist/packages/repos Keep in mind that REPOS_DIR will need to be set again after the current shell session is terminated, if continuing to use the packages provided on the dvd1.iso installer. Finally, bootstrap &man.pkg.8; from the ISO, and install required packages: &prompt.root; pkg bootstrap &prompt.root; pkg install xorg-server xorg gnome3 [...] An issue was discovered where the &man.netstat.1; -s option will cause a segmentation fault on systems with IPSEC compiled into the kernel. The issue was resolved in the stable/10 branch, and an Errata Notice is planned after &release.prev; is released. [2015-08-19] Resolved as FreeBSD-EN-15:12. An issue was discovered that causes &man.make.1; to generate noisy output when doing source-based upgrades from &os; 9.3 and earlier. The issue was reported in PR 202277, and after investigation and determining the issue does not cause source-based upgrades to fail, a post-release Errata Notice is planned. [2015-08-19] Resolved as FreeBSD-EN-15:11. An issue with &os; virtual machines with vagrant was discovered that affects the VirtualBox where the virtual machine will not start on the initial boot invoked with vagrant up. The issue is due to the virtual machine MAC being unset, as &os; does not provide a default Vagrantfile. It has been observed, however, that a subsequent invocation of vagrant up will allow the virtual machine to successfully boot, allowing access via vagrant ssh. [2015-08-16] An error was discovered in the release notes for &os; &release.prev; regarding the drm device driver. The entry for r282199 states the driver was updated to match the version &linux; 3.8.13 version, however the entry should have noted the change affects device-independent code, and does not bring the drm driver fully in line with the stated &linux; version. Late-Breaking News No news.

It lists the hardware platforms supported by &os;, as well as the various types of hardware devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on), along with known working instances of these devices. Supported Processors and System Boards This section provides some architecture-specific information about the specific processors and systems that are supported by each architecture. amd64 Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64 (Hammer) and &intel; EM64T architecture, and is now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system, including installation and development environments. Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology). 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible with each other, and &os;/&arch.amd64; should support them both. As of this writing, the following processors are supported: &amd.athlon;64 (Clawhammer). &amd.opteron; (Sledgehammer). All multi-core &intel; &xeon; processors except Sossaman have EM64T support. The single-core &intel; &xeon; processors Nocona, Irwindale, Potomac, and Cranford have EM64T support. All &intel; Core 2 (not Core Duo) and later processors All &intel; &pentium; D processors &intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using the Cedar Mill core have EM64T support. Some &intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using the Prescott core have EM64T support. See the Intel Processor Spec Finder for the definitive answer about EM64T support in Intel processors. &intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which &os;/ia64 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers to &intel; EM64T as 64-bit extension technology or IA-32e. Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP) configurations are supported. In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. Generally, drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit platforms should work. i386 &os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of IBM PC compatible machines. Due to the wide range of hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are presented here. Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;, &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors. All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported, including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants), &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen. There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and PCI expansion buses are well-supported. There is some limited support for the MCA (MicroChannel) expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs. Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of the &a.smp; may yield some clues. &os; will take advantage of SMT (Symmetric MultiThreading, also known as HyperThreading on &intel; CPUs) on the supported CPUs. The GENERIC kernel which is installed by default will automatically detect the additional logical processors. The default &os; scheduler recognizes processor topology on the system and selects logical and physical processors to obtain optimal performance. The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details. &os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the PAE feature enabled will detect memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the &man.pae.4; manual page for more details. &os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with varying levels of support for certain hardware features such as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways between machines, and frequently require special-case support in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be useful. Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard. &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line to /boot/device.hints: hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do this via loader tunables. ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found at the DSDT section of the ACPI4Linux project Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page for more information. ia64 Currently supported processors are the &itanium; and the &itanium; 2. Supported chipsets include: HP zx1 &intel; 460GX &intel; E8870 Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP) configurations are supported. Most devices that can be found in or are compatible with &arch.ia64; machines are fully supported. The notable exception is the VGA console. The &os; support for VGA consoles is at this time too much based on PC hardware and not all &arch.ia64; machines have chipsets that provide sufficient PC legacy support. As such &man.syscons.4; cannot be enabled and the use of a serial console is required. pc98 NEC PC-9801/9821 series with almost all &i386;-compatible processors, including 80486, &pentium;, &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, and variants. All &i386;-compatible processors by AMD, Cyrix, IBM, and IDT are also supported. NEC FC-9801/9821 series, and NEC SV-98 series (both of them are compatible with PC-9801/9821 series) should be supported. EPSON PC-386/486/586 series, which are compatible with NEC PC-9801 series are supported. High-resolution mode is not supported. NEC PC-98XA/XL/RL/XL^2, and NEC PC-H98 series are supported in normal (PC-9801 compatible) mode only. Although there are some multi-processor systems (such as Rs20/B20), SMP-related features of &os; are not supported yet. PC-9801/9821 standard bus (called C-Bus), PC-9801NOTE expansion bus (110pin), and PCI bus are supported. New Extend Standard Architecture (NESA) bus (used in PC-H98, SV-H98, and FC-H98 series) is not supported. powerpc All Apple PowerPC machines with built-in USB are supported, as well a limited selection of non-Apple machines, including KVM on POWER7 SMP is supported on all systems with more than 1 processor. sparc64 This section describes the systems currently known to be supported by &os; on the Fujitsu &sparc64; and Sun &ultrasparc; platforms. SMP is supported on all systems with more than 1 processor. When using the GENERIC kernel, &os;/&arch.sparc64; systems not equipped with a framebuffer supported by the &man.creator.4; (Sun Creator, Sun Creator3D and Sun Elite3D) or &man.machfb.4; (Sun PGX and Sun PGX64 as well as the ATI Mach64 chips found onboard in for example &sun.blade; 100, &sun.blade; 150, &sun.ultra; 5 and &sun.ultra; 10) driver must use the serial console. If you have a system that is not listed here, it may not have been tested with &os; &release.current;. We encourage you to try it and send a note to the &a.sparc; with your results, including which devices work and which do not.

In particular the fiber channel controllers in SBus-based systems are not supported. However, it is possible to use these with a SCSI controller supported by the &man.esp.4; driver (Sun ESP SCSI, Sun FAS Fast-SCSI and Sun FAS366 Fast-Wide SCSI controllers). &sun.enterprise; 3500 &sun.enterprise; 4500 Starting with 7.2-RELEASE, &arch.sparc64; systems based on Sun &ultrasparc; III and beyond are also supported by &os;, which includes the following known working systems: &sun.blade; 1000 &sun.blade; 1500 &sun.blade; 2000 &sun.blade; 2500 &sun.fire; 280R &sun.fire; V210 &sun.fire; V215 (support first appeared in 7.3-RELEASE and 8.1-RELEASE) &sun.fire; V240 &sun.fire; V245 (support first appeared in 7.3-RELEASE and 8.1-RELEASE) &sun.fire; V250 &sun.fire; V440 (support for the on-board NICs first appeared in 7.3-RELEASE and 8.0-RELEASE) &sun.fire; V480 (501-6780 and 501-6790 centerplanes only, for which support first appeared in 7.3-RELEASE and 8.1-RELEASE, other centerplanes might work beginning with 8.3-RELEASE and 9.0-RELEASE) &sun.fire; V880 &sun.fire; V890 (support first appeared in 7.4-RELEASE and 8.1-RELEASE, non-mixed &ultrasparc; IV/IV+ CPU-configurations only) &netra; 20/&netra; T4 The following Sun &ultrasparc; systems are not tested but also believed to be supported by &os;: &sun.fire; V125 &sun.fire; V490 (support first appeared in 7.4-RELEASE and 8.1-RELEASE, non-mixed &ultrasparc; IV/IV+ CPU-configurations only) Starting with 7.4-RELEASE and 8.1-RELEASE, &arch.sparc64; systems based on Fujitsu &sparc64; V are also supported by &os;, which includes the following known working systems: Fujitsu &primepower; 250 The following Fujitsu &primepower; systems are not tested but also believed to be supported by &os;: Fujitsu &primepower; 450 Fujitsu &primepower; 650 Fujitsu &primepower; 850 Supported Devices This section describes the devices currently known to be supported by &os;. Other configurations may also work, but simply have not been tested yet. Feedback, updates, and corrections to this list are encouraged. Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or class of devices is listed. If the driver in question has a manual page in the &os; base distribution (most should), it is referenced here. Information on specific models of supported devices, controllers, etc. can be found in the manual pages. The device lists in this document are being generated automatically from &os; manual pages.

&os; &release.current; Installation Instructions The &os; Project $FreeBSD$ 2016 The &os; Documentation Project &tm-attrib.freebsd; &tm-attrib.intel; &tm-attrib.sparc; &tm-attrib.general; This article gives some brief instructions on installing &os; &release.current; and upgrading the systems running earlier releases. Installing &os; The Installing &os; chapter of the &os; Handbook provides more in-depth information about the installation program itself, including a guided walk-through with screenshots. Upgrading &os; If you are upgrading from a previous release of &os;, please read upgrading section in the Release Notes for notable incompatibilities carefully. - + Upgrading from Source The procedure for doing a source code based update is described in and . For SVN use the releng/&local.rel; branch which will be where any upcoming Security Advisories or Errata Notices will be applied. - + Upgrading Using <quote>&os; Update</quote> The &man.freebsd-update.8; utility supports binary upgrades of &arch.i386; and &arch.amd64; systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 9.3-RELEASE, 10.3-RC[12] can upgrade as follows: &prompt.root; freebsd-update fetch &prompt.root; freebsd-update install Now the &man.freebsd-update.8; utility can fetch bits belonging to &release.current;. During this process &man.freebsd-update.8; will ask for help in merging configuration files. &prompt.root; freebsd-update upgrade -r &local.rel;-RELEASE Due to changes in the way that &os; is packaged on the release media, two complications may arise in this process if upgrading from FreeBSD 9.3: The &os;, which previously could appear in either /boot/kernel or /boot/GENERIC, now only appears as /boot/kernel. As a result, any kernel appearing in /boot/GENERIC will be deleted. Please carefully read the output printed by &man.freebsd-update.8; and confirm that an updated kernel will be placed into /boot/kernel before proceeding beyond this point. The &os; source tree in /usr/src (if present) will be deleted. (Normally the &man.freebsd-update.8; utility will update a source tree, but in this case the changes in release packaging result in the &man.freebsd-update.8; utility not recognizing that the source tree from the old release and the source tree from the new release correspond to the same part of &os;.) &prompt.root; freebsd-update install The system must now be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before the non-kernel components are updated. &prompt.root; shutdown -r now After rebooting, &man.freebsd-update.8; needs to be run again to install the new userland components: &prompt.root; freebsd-update install At this point, users of systems being upgraded from &os; 9.3-RELEASE or earlier will be prompted by &man.freebsd-update.8; to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., ports installed from the ports tree) due to updates in system libraries. After updating installed third-party applications (and again, only if &man.freebsd-update.8; printed a message indicating that this was necessary), run &man.freebsd-update.8; again so that it can delete the old (no longer used) system libraries: &prompt.root; freebsd-update install Finally, reboot into &release.current; &prompt.root; shutdown -r now

It includes some information on how to obtain &os;, a listing of various ways to contact the &os; Project, and pointers to some other sources of information. Introduction This distribution is a &release.type; of &os; &release.current;, the latest point along the &release.branch; branch. - + About &os; &os; is an operating system based on 4.4 BSD Lite for AMD64 and Intel EM64T based PC hardware (&arch.amd64;), Intel, AMD, Cyrix or NexGen x86 based PC hardware (&arch.i386;), Intel Itanium Processor based computers (&arch.ia64;), NEC PC-9801/9821 series PCs and compatibles (&arch.pc98;), and &ultrasparc; machines (&arch.sparc64;). Versions for the &arm; (&arch.arm;), &mips; (&arch.mips;), and &powerpc; (&arch.powerpc;) architectures are currently under development as well. &os; works with a wide variety of peripherals and configurations and can be used for everything from software development to games to Internet Service Provision. This release of &os; contains everything you need to run such a system, including full source code for the kernel and all utilities in the base distribution. With the source distribution installed, you can literally recompile the entire system from scratch with one command, making it ideal for students, researchers, or users who simply want to see how it all works. A large collection of third-party ported software (the Ports Collection) is also provided to make it easy to obtain and install all your favorite traditional &unix; utilities for &os;. Each port consists of a set of scripts to retrieve, configure, build, and install a piece of software, with a single command. Over &os.numports; ports, from editors to programming languages to graphical applications, make &os; a powerful and comprehensive operating environment that extends far beyond what's provided by many commercial versions of &unix;. Most ports are also available as pre-compiled packages, which can be quickly installed from the installation program. - + Target Audience This &release.type; is aimed primarily at early adopters and various other users who want to get involved with the ongoing development of &os;. While the &os; development team tries its best to ensure that each &release.type; works as advertised, &release.branch; is very much a work-in-progress. The basic requirements for using this &release.type; are technical proficiency with &os; and an understanding of the ongoing development process of &os; &release.branch; (as discussed on the &a.stable;). For those more interested in doing business with &os; than in experimenting with new &os; technology, formal releases (such as &release.prev.stable;) are frequently more appropriate. Releases undergo a period of testing and quality assurance checking to ensure high reliability and dependability.

Releases undergo a period of testing and quality assurance checking to ensure high reliability and dependability. This &release.type; of &os; is suitable for all users. It has undergone a period of testing and quality assurance checking to ensure the highest reliability and dependability. Obtaining &os; &os; may be obtained in a variety of ways. This section focuses on those ways that are primarily useful for obtaining a complete &os; distribution, rather than updating an existing installation. - + CDROM and DVD &os; -RELEASE distributions may be ordered on CDROM or DVD from several publishers. This is frequently the most convenient way to obtain &os; for new installations, as it provides a convenient way to quickly reinstall the system if necessary. Some distributions include some of the optional, precompiled packages from the &os; Ports Collection, or other extra material. A list of the CDROM and DVD publishers known to the project are listed in the Obtaining &os; appendix to the Handbook. - + FTP You can use FTP to retrieve &os; and any or all of its optional packages from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/, which is the official &os; release site, or any of its mirrors. Lists of locations that mirror &os; can be found in the FTP Sites section of the Handbook. Finding a close (in networking terms) mirror from which to download the distribution is highly recommended. Additional mirror sites are always welcome. Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details on becoming an official mirror site. You can also find useful information for mirror sites at the Mirroring &os; article. Mirrors generally contain the ISO images generally used to create a CDROM of a &os; release. They usually also contain floppy disk images (for applicable platforms), as well as the files necessary to do an installation over the network. Finally mirrors sites usually contain a set of packages for the most current release. Contacting the &os; Project - + Email and Mailing Lists For any questions or general technical support issues, please send mail to the &a.questions;. If tracking the &release.branch; development efforts, you must join the &a.stable;, in order to keep abreast of recent developments and changes that may affect the way you use and maintain the system. Being a largely-volunteer effort, the &os; Project is always happy to have extra hands willing to help—there are already far more desired enhancements than there is time to implement them. To contact the developers on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send mail to the &a.hackers;. Please note that these mailing lists can experience significant amounts of traffic. If you have slow or expensive mail access, or are only interested in keeping up with major &os; events, you may find it preferable to subscribe instead to the &a.announce;. All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing to do so. Visit the &os; Mailman Info Page. This will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing archives, etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at special interest groups not mentioned here; more information can be obtained either from the Mailman pages or the mailing lists section of the &os; Web site. Do not send email to the lists asking to be subscribed. Use the Mailman interface instead. - + Submitting Problem Reports Suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always valued—please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find. Bug reports with attached fixes are of course even more welcome. The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with Internet connectivity is to use the Bugzilla bug tracker. Problem Reports (PRs) submitted in this way will be filed and their progress tracked; the &os; developers will do their best to respond to all reported bugs as soon as possible. A list of all active PRs is available on the &os; Web site; this list is useful to see what potential problems other users have encountered. Note that &man.send-pr.1; is deprecated. For more information, Writing &os; Problem Reports, available on the &os; Web site, has a number of helpful hints on writing and submitting effective problem reports. Further Reading There are many sources of information about &os;; some are included with this distribution, while others are available on-line or in print versions. Release Documentation A number of other files provide more specific information about this &release.type; distribution. These files are provided in various formats. Most distributions will include both ASCII text (.TXT) and HTML (.HTM) renditions. Some distributions may also include other formats such as Portable Document Format (.PDF). README.TXT: This file, which gives some general information about &os; as well as some cursory notes about obtaining a distribution. RELNOTES.TXT: The release notes, showing what's new and different in &os; &release.current; compared to the previous release (&os; &release.prev;). HARDWARE.TXT: The hardware compatibility list, showing devices with which &os; has been tested and is known to work. ERRATA.TXT: Release errata. Late-breaking, post-release information can be found in this file, which is principally applicable to releases (as opposed to snapshots). It is important to consult this file before installing a release of &os;, as it contains the latest information on problems which have been found and fixed since the release was created. On platforms that support &man.bsdinstall.8; (currently &arch.amd64;, &arch.i386;, &arch.ia64;, &arch.pc98;, and &arch.sparc64;), these documents are generally available via the Documentation menu during installation. Once the system is installed, you can revisit this menu by re-running the &man.bsdinstall.8; utility. It is extremely important to read the errata for any given release before installing it, to learn about any late-breaking news or post-release problems. The errata file accompanying each release (most likely right next to this file) is already out of date by definition, but other copies are kept updated on the Internet and should be consulted as the current errata for this release. These other copies of the errata are located at &url.base;/releases/ (as well as any sites which keep up-to-date mirrors of this location). - + Manual Pages As with almost all &unix; like operating systems, &os; comes with a set of on-line manual pages, accessed through the &man.man.1; command or through the hypertext manual pages gateway on the &os; Web site. In general, the manual pages provide information on the different commands and APIs available to the &os; user. In some cases, manual pages are written to give information on particular topics. Notable examples of such manual pages are &man.tuning.7; (a guide to performance tuning), &man.security.7; (an introduction to &os; security), and &man.style.9; (a style guide to kernel coding). - + Books and Articles Two highly-useful collections of &os;-related information, maintained by the &os; Project, are the &os; Handbook and &os; FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions document). On-line versions of the Handbook and FAQ are always available from the &os; Documentation page or its mirrors. If you install the doc distribution set, you can use a Web browser to read the Handbook and FAQ locally. In particular, note that the Handbook contains a step-by-step guide to installing &os;. A number of on-line books and articles, also maintained by the &os; Project, cover more-specialized, &os;-related topics. This material spans a wide range of topics, from effective use of the mailing lists, to dual-booting &os; with other operating systems, to guidelines for new committers. Like the Handbook and FAQ, these documents are available from the &os; Documentation Page or in the doc distribution set. A listing of other books and documents about &os; can be found in the bibliography of the &os; Handbook. Because of &os;'s strong &unix; heritage, many other articles and books written for &unix; systems are applicable as well, some of which are also listed in the bibliography. Acknowledgments &os; represents the cumulative work of many hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals from around the world who have worked countless hours to bring about this &release.type;. For a complete list of &os; developers and contributors, please see Contributors to &os; on the &os; Web site or any of its mirrors. Special thanks also go to the many thousands of &os; users and testers all over the world, without whom this &release.type; simply would not have been possible.

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. A new utility, &man.sesutil.8;, has been added, which is used to manage &man.ses.4; devices. The &man.cp.1; utility has been updated to include a new flag, -s, which creates a symbolic link to the specified source. Support for the -manage-gids has been added to &man.nfsd.8;. This option can be enabled at boot time by adding nfs_server_managegids="YES" to &man.rc.conf.5;. The resolver library has been updated to reload /etc/resolv.conf if the modification time has changed. The initial implementation of reroot support has been added to the &man.shutdown.8; utility, allowing the root filesystem to be mounted from a temporary source filesystem without requiring a full system reboot. 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. Timezone data files have been updated to version 2015f. The &man.file.1; utility has been updated to version 5.25. The &man.xz.1; utility has been updated to version 5.2.2, which provides support for multi-threaded compression. The &man.ntpd.8; utility has been updated to version 4.2.8p5. The &man.unbound.8; utility has been updated to version 1.5.7. The &man.less.1; utility has been updated to version v481. The unbound-control-setup script has been removed from the base system. The &man.unbound.8; utility has been updated to enable the insecure-lan-zones option in preference of listing each AS112 zone individually. The OpenSSL suite has been updated to version 1.0.1s. The OpenSSH suite has been updated to version 7.2p2. Installation and Configuration Tools The &man.bsdinstall.8; utility has been updated to support ZFS installation on EFI-based systems. <filename class="directory">/etc/rc.d</filename> Scripts The netwait &man.rc.8; script has been updated to wait for network interfaces that attach late in the boot process, such as some USB network cards. <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 pulses per second captured in the CTS line during runtime, whereas previously only the DCD line could be used without rebuilding the kernel.
