+20130129:
+	A BSD-licensed patch(1) variant has been added and is installed
+	as bsdpatch, being the GNU version the default patch.
+	To inverse the logic and use the BSD-licensed one as default,
+	while having the GNU version installed as gnupatch, rebuild
+	and install world with the WITH_BSD_PATCH knob set.
+
+20130118:
+	The install(1) option -M has changed meaning and now takes an
+	argument that is a file or path to append logs to.  In the
+	unlikely event that -M was the last option on the command line
+	and the command line contained at least two files and a target
+	directory the first file will have logs appended to it.  The -M
+	option served little practical purpose in the last decade so it's
+	used expected to be extremely rare.

+20121223:
+	After switching to Clang as the default compiler some users of ZFS
+	on i386 systems started to experience stack overflow kernel panics.
+	Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=4' in such configurations.
+
+20121222:
+	GEOM_LABEL now mangles label names read from file system metadata.
+	Mangling affect labels containing spaces, non-printable characters,
+	'%' or '"'. Device names in /etc/fstab and other places may need to
+	be updated.

+20121217:
+	By default, only the 10 most recent kernel dumps will be saved.  To
+	restore the previous behaviour (no limit on the number of kernel dumps
+	stored in the dump directory) add the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
+
+		savecore_flags=""
+
+20121201:
+	With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
+	depended on during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used to add
+	the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
+
+20121117:
+	The sin6_scope_id member variable in struct sockaddr_in6 is now
+	filled by the kernel before passing the structure to the userland via
+	sysctl or routing socket.  This means the KAME-specific embedded scope
+	id in sin6_addr.s6_addr[2] is always cleared in userland application.
+	This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid.
+	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1000025.
+
+20121105:
+	On i386 and amd64 systems WITH_CLANG_IS_CC is now the default.
+	This means that the world and kernel will be compiled with clang
+	and that clang will be installed as /usr/bin/cc, /usr/bin/c++,
+	and /usr/bin/cpp.  To disable this behavior and revert to building
+	with gcc, compile with WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC.

 	The IPFIREWALL_FORWARD kernel option has been removed. Its
 	functionality now turned on by default.
