What's new since 4.1-RELEASE --------------------------------------- -Changes which were also present in the 4.1.1 point release will be -marked [4.1.1]. - -1.1. KERNEL CHANGES -------------------- -The tap driver, a virtual Ethernet device driver for bridged -configurations, has been added. [4.1.1] - -accept_filters, a kernel feature to reduce overheads when accepting -and reading new connections on listening sockets, has been added. [4.1.1] - -POSIX.1b Shared Memory Objects are now supported. The implementation -uses regular files, but automatically enables the MAP_NOSYNC flag -when they are mmap(2)ed. [4.1.1] - -The ata(4) driver now has support for ATA100 controllers. [4.1.1] - -The ata(4) driver now has support for tagged queueing, which is -enabled by the ATA_ENABLE_TAGS option. It also supports the -ServerWorks ROSB4 ATA33 chipset, the CMD 648 ATA66 and CMD 649 ATA100 -chipsets, and the Cyrix 5530. It also has support for ATA "pseudo" -RAID controllers, including the Promise Fasttrak and HighPoint HPT370 -controllers. - -The ti(4) driver now supports the Alteon AceNIC 1000baseT Gigabit -Ethernet and Netgear GA620T 1000baseT Gigabit Ethernet cards. [4.1.1] - -The ng_bridge(4) node type has been added to the netgraph subsystem. -Miscellaneous bug fixes and enhancements have also been made. [4.1.1] - -Support for Fujitsu MB86960A/MB86965A based Ethernet PC-Cards is back. -[4.1.1] - -The asr(4) driver, which provides support for the Adaptec SCSI RAID -controller family, as well as the DPT SmartRAID V and VI families, has -been added. [4.1.1] - -The i386 boot loader now has support for a "nullconsole" console type, -for use on systems with neither a video console nor a serial -port. [4.1.1] - -The pcn(4) driver, which supports the AMD PCnet/FAST, PCnet/FAST+, -PCnet/FAST III, PCnet/PRO, PCnet/Home, and HomePNA adapters, has been -added. Although these cards are already supported by the lnc(4) -driver, the pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX -alignment feature to achieve zero-copy receive. This driver is also -machine-independent, so it will work on both the i386 and alpha -platforms. The lnc driver is still needed to support non-PCI cards. - -The pcm(4) driver now supports the ESS Solo 1, Maestro-1, Maestro-2, -and Maestro-2e; Forte Media fm801, ESS Maestro-2e, and VIA Technologies -VT82C686A sound card/chipsets, and has received some other updates. - -Replace the PQ_*CACHE options with a single PQ_CACHESIZE option to be -set to the cache size in kilobytes. The old options are still -supported for backwards compatibility. - -The NCPU, NAPIC, NBUS, and NINTR kernel configuration options, -for configuring SMP kernels, have been removed. NCPU is now set to a -maximum of 16, and the other, aforementioned options are now dynamic. - -The ahc(4) driver has been updated. - -The amr(4) driver has been updated with support for new AMI -MegaRAID models. - -The snc(4) driver for the National Semiconductor DP8393X (SONIC) -Ethernet controller. Curently, this driver is only used on the PC-98 -architecture. - -The ich(4) driver for the Intel 82801AA (ICH) SMBus controller and -compatibles has been added. - -bktr(4) driver has been updated to 2.15. New tuner types have been -added, and improvememts to the KLD module and to memory allocation -have been made. [4.1.1] This driver subsequently was updated to 2.17, -which fixes bugs in devfs when unloading and reloading, and syncs with -some NetBSD changes. - -Default the PC Card Interface Controller(pcic) to polling mode(irq 0). - -The ncv(4), nsp(4), and stg(4) drivers have been ported from -NetBSD/pc98. They supports NCR 53C50 / Workbit Ninja SCSI-3 / TMC -18C30, 18C50 based PC-Card/ISA SCSI controllers. - -The mly(4) driver, for Mylex PCI to SCSI AccelRAID and eXtremeRAID -controllers with firmware 6.x and later, has been added. - -The twe(4) driver for 3ware controllers has been updated, with -improved queueing, error handling and reporting, and user interface -for the 3ware-supplied '3dm' monitoring tool. - -The uscanner(4) driver, which provides basic USB scanner support using -SANE, has been added. (See the SANE home page for supported -scanners.) The HP ScanJet 4100C, 5200C and 6300C are known to be -working. - -The umodem(4) driver for USB modems has been added; it currently -supports the 3Com 5605 USB modem. - - -1.2. SECURITY FIXES -------------------- - -sysinstall(8) now allows the user to select one of three "security -profiles" at install-time. These profiles enable different levels of -system security by enabling or disabling various system services in -rc.conf(5) on new installs. [4.1.1] - -Many string-handling library calls were fixed to reduce the -possibility of buffer overflow-related exploits. - -A security hole in Linux emulation was fixed (see security advisory -FreeBSD-SA-00:42). [4.1.1] - -TCP now uses stronger randomness in choosing its initial sequence -numbers (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-00:52). - -A bug in finger(1) that could allow remote users to view -world-readable files has been closed (see security advisory -FreeBSD-SA-00:54). - -rlogind(8), rshd(8), and fingerd(8) are now disabled by default in -/etc/inetd.conf. This change only affects new installations. - -Several buffer overflows in tcpdump(1) were corrected (see security -advisory FreeBSD-SA-00:61). - -A security hole in top(1) was corrected (see security advisory -FreeBSD-SA-00:62). - -A potential security hole caused by an off-by-one-error in -gethostbyname(3) has been fixed (see security advisory -FreeBSD-SA-00:63). - -A potential buffer overflow in the ncurses(3X) library, which could -cause arbitrary code to be run from within systat(1), has been corrected -(see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-00:68). - -A vulnerability in telnetd(8) that could cause it to consume large -amounts of server resources has been fixed (see security advisory -FreeBSD-SA-00:69). - -The "nat deny_incoming" command in ppp(8) now works correctly (see -security advisory FreeBSD-SA-00:70). - - -1.3. USERLAND CHANGES ---------------------- - -RSA Security has waived all patent rights to the RSA algorithm (two -weeks before the patent was due to expire). As a result, the native -OpenSSL implementation of the RSA algorithm is now activated by -default, and the rsaref port and librsaUSA are no longer required for -USA residents. [4.1.1] - -sshd is now enabled by default on new installs. [4.1.1] - -Version numbers of installed packages have a new (backward-compatible) -syntax, which supports the "PORTREVISION" and "PORTEPOCH" variables in -ports collection makefiles. These changes help keep track of changes -in the ports collection entries such as security patches or -FreeBSD-specific updates, which aren't reflected in the original, -third-party software distributions. pkg_version(1) can now compare -these new-style version numbers. [4.1.1] - -sendmail upgraded from version 8.9.3 to version 8.11.1. Important changes -include: new default file locations (see /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README); -newaliases is limited to root and trusted users; STARTTLS encryption; and -the MSA port (587) is turned on by default. See -/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES for more information. - -mail.local(8) is no longer installed as a set-user-id binary. If you -are using a /etc/mail/sendmail.cf from the default sendmail.cf -included with FreeBSD any time after 3.1.0, you are fine. If you are -using a hand-configured sendmail.cf and mail.local for delivery, check -to make sure the F="S" flag is set on the Mlocal line. Those with .mc -files who need to add the flag can do so by adding the following line -to their your .mc file and regenerating the sendmail.cf file: - MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `+S')dnl -Note that FEATURE(`local_lmtp') already does this. - -The default /etc/mail/sendmail.cf disables the SMTP EXPN and VRFY commands. - -vacation(1) has been updated to use the version included with -sendmail. - -The sendmail(8) configuration building tools are installed in -/usr/share/sendmail/cf/. - -OpenSSH has been upgraded to 2.2.0. ssh-add(1) and ssh-agent(1) can -now handle DSA keys. An sftp server interoperable with ssh.com -clients and others has been added. scp(1) can now handle files >2GB. -Interoperability with other ssh2 clients/servers has been improved. A -new feature to limit the number of outstanding unauthenticated ssh -connections in sshd has been added. - -The compiler chain now uses the FSF-supplied C/C++ runtime -initialization code. This change brings about better compatibility -with code generated from the various egcs and gcc ports, as well as -the stock public FSF source. - -cvs(1) has been updated to 1.11. - -The threads library has gained some signal handling changes, bug -fixes, and performance enhancements (including zero system call thread -switching). gdb(1) thread support has been updated to match these -changes. - -GDB now supports hardware watchpoints. [4.1.1] - -routed(8) has been updated to version 2.22. [4.1.1] - -The truncate(1) utility, which truncates or extends the length of -files, has been added. [4.1.1] - -syslogd(8) can take a -n option to disable DNS queries for every -request. [4.1.1] - -kenv(1), a command to dump the kernel environment, has been added. -[4.1.1] - -The behavior of periodic(8) is now controlled by -/etc/defaults/periodic.conf and /etc/periodic.conf. [4.1.1] - -logger(1) can now send messages directly to a remote syslog. [4.1.1] - -OpenSSL has been upgraded to 0.9.5a, which includes numerous bugfixes -and enhancements. [4.1.1] - -finger(1) now has the ability to support fingering aliases, via the -finger.conf(5) file. [4.1.1] - -The xl(4) driver now supports the 3Com 3C556 and 3C556B MiniPCI -adapters used on some laptops. [4.1.1] - -killall(1) is now a C program, rather than a Perl script. As a -result, killall's -m option now uses the regular expression syntax of -regex(3), rather than that of perl(1). [4.1.1] - -boot98cfg(8), a PC-98 boot manager installation and configuration -utility, has been added. [4.1.1] - -The ifconfig(8) command can set the link-layer address of an -interface. [4.1.1] - -setproctitle(3) has been moved from libutil to libc. [4.1.1] - -sed(1) now takes a -E option for extended regular expression -support. [4.1.1] - -ln(1) now takes an -i option to request user configuration before -overwriting an existing file. [4.1.1] - -tcpdump(1) has received some updates and bugfixes. - -User-land ppp(8) has received a number of updates and bugfixes. - -The internal procedure for building perl has changed, and no longer -depends on (nor installs) miniperl. Users upgrading from source -should delete /usr/bin/miniperl. - -To improve performance and disk utilization, the "ports skeletons" in -the FreeBSD Ports Collection have been restructured. Installed ports -and packages should not be affected. - -ncurses has been updated to ncurses-5.1-20001009. - -make(1) has gained the :C/// (regexp substitution), :L (lowercase), -and :U (uppercase) variable modifiers. These were added to reduce the -differences between the FreeBSD and OpenBSD/NetBSD make programs. - -The "in use" percentage metric displayed by netstat(1) now really -reflects the percentage of network mbufs used. - -chio(1) now has the ability to specify elements by volume tag instead -of by their physical location as well as the ability to return an -element to its previous location. - -The ISC library from the BIND distribution is now built as libisc. - -IP Filter is now supported by the rc.conf(5) boot-time configuration -and initialization. - - -2. Supported Configurations ---------------------------- -FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA, MCA and PCI -bus based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the -386sx is not recommended). Support for generic IDE drive -configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is -also provided. - -What follows is a list of all peripherals currently known to work with -FreeBSD.

Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD ----------------------------------------------- - -If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely -it's 3.0 and there may be some issues affecting you, depending -of course on your chosen method of upgrading. There are two popular -ways of upgrading FreeBSD distributions: - - o Using sources, via /usr/src - o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option. - -Please read the UPGRADE.TXT file for more information, preferably -before beginning an upgrade. - - -5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code. ------------------------------------------------------------ -Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always -valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find -(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!). - -The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with -Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI -script at http://www.FreeBSD.org/send-pr.html. Bug reports -will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can -be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon -as possible. Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site -in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports -and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to -watch out for. - -If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to -submit a bug report, you can try to send it to: - - freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org - -Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move -even onto a totally different system. We much prefer if you could use -this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem -reports. However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether -the problem might have already been fixed since. - - -Otherwise, for any questions or tech support issues, please send mail to: - - freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org - - -If you're tracking the -stable development efforts, you should -definitely join the -stable mailing list, in order to keep abreast -of recent developments and changes that may affect the way you -use and maintain the system: - - freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org - - -Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have -extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired -enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves! To -contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send -mail to: - - freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org - - -Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant* -amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and -are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you -may find it preferable to subscribe instead to: - - freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org - - -All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing -to do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword -`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. 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, so send mail to majordomo -and ask about them! - - -6.
