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.IntroductionThis 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 ErrataThis section lists the various Security Advisories and
Errata Notices since &release.prev;.Security Advisories

UserlandThis section covers changes and additions to userland
applications, contributed software, and system utilities.Userland Configuration ChangesUserland Application Changes
+ The
+ &man.ar.1; utility now enables deterministic mode
+ (-D) by default. This behavior can be
+ disabled by specifying the -U flag.
+
+ The &man.cp.1; utility has been updated
+ to include a new flag, -s, which creates
+ a symbolic link to the specified source.
+
+ A bug in &man.ctladm.8; utility which could
+ return a non-zero value even if it succeeds has been fixed.
+
+ The &man.ifconfig.8; utility now reports
+ SFP/SFP+ data when a flag is specified and
+ the NIC driver provides them.
+
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 a
+ flag has been added to
+ &man.nfsuserd.8;. This option can be enabled at boot time by
+ setting an &man.rc.conf.5; variable
+ nfs_server_managegids to
+ YES.
- 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.reboot.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.
+ A bug in &man.libarchive.3; library which
+ could report an error when handling a sparse file entry
+ in a tar file has been fixed
+ by importing changeset bf4f6ec64e.
