This is particularly important + if you require bridge for network access during boot, in which case + you should install the new kernel and the new /sbin/ifconfig prior + to rebooting. + +20250820: + The WITHOUT_GSSAPI src.conf knob has been removed. This was already + a no-op for MIT Kerberos, so this only affects builds which set + WITHOUT_MITKRB5=1, in which case you now always get libgssapi. + + Also, Heimdal's compile_et and libcom_err are now controlled by + WITHOUT_KERBEROS, not WITHOUT_KERBEROS_SUPPORT. This matches + the behaviour of the MIT Kerberos versions. + +20250820: + Commits 08c7dd2fbe4f and a4197ea47777 have changed the ABI between + libvmmapi and the vmm device. If using a custom kernel configuration, + please ensure that the COMPAT_FREEBSD14 option is included so older + versions of libvmmapi continue working as expected. + +20250819: + The CLEAN option has been switched back from default-on to default-off. + This reverts the 20250808 change below, which had reverted the 20240729 + change before it. Note that some src.conf(5) options are known to break + ABI or compatibility in ways that may require a clean build initially + when switched. + +20250816: + Sendmail's libmilter has been moved to its own package. If you want + to compile applications that use libmilter, you should install the + FreeBSD-libmilter* packages. + + If you only have FreeBSD-sendmail installed for applications that + require libmilter, you can now remove it. + +20250815: + The [gs]etgroups(2)syscalls have changed. To maintain backwards + compatibility with existing programs, you need COMPAT_FREEBSD14 in + your kernel config until all applications which use this are + rebuild/reinstalled. + +20250815: + jemalloc 5.3.0 has been committed to the tree. + +20250815: + The removal of Secure RPC DES authentication noted in 20250810 + has been reverted. (However, it is still non-functional.) + +20250813: + Commit cce64f2e6851 changed the internal KAPI between the NFS + modules. As such, all of them need to be rebuilt from sources. + __FreeBSD_version has been bumped to 1500060 already today, + so I will not bump it again for this. + +20250813: + The gpiobus_attach_bus() function has been removed. Drivers should now + use the gpiobus_add_bus() function instead. The difference being that + gpiobus_add_bus() doesn't call bus_attach_children(), calling it will + be the responsibility of the caller now. + +20250810: + Support for Secure RPC DES authentication has been removed. + The keyserv(8) daemon was already removed, but support for it in libc + has also been removed, so if you somehow still had keyserv installed, + it will now stop working. There is no workaround for this. Removing + DES is considered a feature. + +20250808: + The CLEAN option has been switched back from default-off to + default-on. This reverts the 20240729 change below. + +20250807: + routed(8) and route6d(8) have moved to the FreeBSD-rip package. + If you use either of these, you should install the new package. + +20250806: + if_epair(4) now uses ether_gen_addr(9) to generate a stable MAC + address. + To keep using the random address, set the loader tunable + net.link.epair.ether_gen_addr=0. + +20250804: + bsdconfig (including sysrc(8)) has moved to the new bsdconfig + package. If you use pkgbase and wish to use bsdconfig, you should + install FreeBSD-bsdconfig. + +20250730: + The usbhid(4) USB HID driver is now enabled by default, and will be + used in preference to other USB HID drivers like ukbd(4), ums(4), and + uhid(4). Work on a FIDO/U2F driver and moused(8) is in progress. + The default is being switched now so that we can find and fix any + additional issues prior to FreeBSD 15.0. + + To revert to the previous USB HID driver behavior, set the loader + tunable hw.usb.usbhid.enable=0. + +20250727: + bmake (i.e., /usr/bin/make and /usr/share/mk) has moved to a new + package, FreeBSD-bmake. If you use pkgbase and you need make, you + should install this package. + +20250726: + amd64 kernel configurations must contain "options SMP". + +20250725: + gssd(8) has been moved to a new package, FreeBSD-gssd. If you use + pkgbase and you need gssd, you should install this package. + +20250724: + The Kerberos packages which are built when WITH_MITKRB5 is enabled + have been renamed from FreeBSD-krb5* to FreeBSD-kerberos*. This + affects pkgbase users who manually enabled WITH_MITKRB5, *or* use + the default value of WITH_MITKRB5 and updated past c7da9fb90b0b + (20250721) which made WITH_MITKRB5 the default. + + In either case, if you have FreeBSD-krb5* packages installed, you + should remove them and (re)install the equivalent FreeBSD-kerberos* + packages instead. + +20250721: + WITH_MITKRB5 is now enabled by default. MIT KRB5 has replaced + Heimdal in base. Ports that use USES=gssapi must be rebuilt. + A clean buildworld is required. + +20250719: + Commits 392a82b225 and c00baac0ab both changed the + internal API between the NFS modules. As such, all + these modules need to be rebuilt from sources. + __FreeBSD_version was bumped to 1500053 for this. + +20250710: + The shar(1) utility has been removed from base. The + sysutils/freebsd-shar port was created to maintain this version of + shar(1) past its removal from base. + +20250704: + LinuxKPI device.h and acpi changes effecting drivers and drm-kmod. + Bump __FreeBSD_version 1500050 to be able to detect these changes. + +20250630: + Commits 171f66b0c2ca and 8e2a90ac8089 changed the internal + api between nfscommon.ko and the other nfs modules. + Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1500049 for this. + All NFS related modules must be rebuilt from up-to-date + sources. + +20250625: + "make delete-old" will now remove the Forth bootloader entirely + if the system is built with WITHOUT_FORTH. + +20250614: + MIT KRB5 (MIT Kerberos5) has been imported into 15-CURRENT. To + and install MIT KRB5, add WITH_MITKRB5=yes to /etc/src.conf. This + will build and install MIT KRB5 1.21.3. And it will remove Heimdal + 1.5.2 when delete-old and delete-old-libs are run. To revert back + simply buildworld/installworld again with delete-old-libs and + delete-old. + + At the moment we only know of a couple of ports that might be + affected. Adjusting libmap.conf does not circumvent runtime issues. + The few affected ports must be rebuilt. A successful exp-run will be + run before MIT KRB5 becomes default. + + Those using the KDC in FreeBSD base may wish to wait. The Heimdal + HDB is incompatible with the MIT KRB5 KDC. The migration procedure + is a little involved. + +20250603: + LinuxKPI dma-mapping.h were pulled into the tree from drm-kmod. + Bump _FreeBSD_version to 1500045 to be able to detect this change. + +20250527: + pf changed extension header handling. It now treats AH headers on IPv4 just + like AH headers on IPv6 and skips over them, allowing filtering on the inner + protocol. + +20250527: + pf now blocks IPv6 packets with a hop-by-hop or destination options header by + default. Such packets can be passed by adding "allow-opts" to the rule. IPv6 + options are now handled just like their IPv4 counterparts. + +20250527: + The CAM target layer userland, i.e. ctld(8), ctladm(8) and ctlstat(8), + has moved to the new FreeBSD-ctl package. If you use pkgbase and you + need the CAM Target Layer, you should install the new package. + + Development-related tools (e.g. ar and nm) have moved to the new + "FreeBSD-toolchain" package, which subsumes and obsoletes the + existing "FreeBSD-elftoolchain" package. If you use pkgbase and + need to compile software, you should install the new package and + ensure the old FreeBSD-elftoolchain* packages are completely removed. + +20250521: + Commit e64fe5ad3a23 removed in6_maxmtu and its setter in6_setmaxmtu(). + in6_maxmtu is used to store the max IPv6 MTU of all interfaces, + however it does not have any in-tree consumers since the introduction + from the KAME project. The removal should have little impact, and the + max IPv6 MTU can be easily retrieved by iterating over all the attached + interface if 3rd party modules need it. + +20250515: + Commit 772258c89f28 changed the internal API between the nfscommon + and nfscl modules. Both need to be built from updated sources. + +20250513: + The bridge(4) sysctl net.link.bridge.member_ifaddrs now defaults to 0, + meaning that interfaces added to a bridge may not have IP addresses + assigned. Refer to bridge(4) for more information. + +20250507: + UMASS quirks and auto-quirk probing has been overhauled. CAM now won't + send SYNCHRONIZE CACHE unless MODE PAGE 8 is present and valid. This + should allow more devices to work (since the auto quirk code was updated + in 14 and broke several e-readers and the like). Please send imp@freebsd.org + any regression reports. + +20250504: + Commit 9419e086e1a3 changed the internal API between the nfscommon + and nfscl modules. Both need to be built from updated sources. + +20250412: + LinuxKPI alloc routines were changed to return physically contiguous + memory where expected. These changes may require out-of-tree drivers + to be recompiled. + Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1500037 to be able to detect this change. + +20250409: + Intel iwlwifi firmware has been removed from the src repository. + Before updating their system, users of iwlwifi(4) or iwx(4) must + install the appropriate firmware for their chipset using fwget(8) or + building it from ports. + 20250314: We now use LLVM's binary utilities (nm, objcopy, etc.) by default.
