Users with /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos files + which override these will need to adjust their configuration to match + the new names. + +20250823: + The set of pkgbase packages for Kerberos and OpenSSL has changed. + After updating past 250e77d4f0a5, you should check 'pkg orphans' + and remove any orphaned packages, then examine the output of + 'pkg install -r base -g FreeBSD-openssl\* FreeBSD-kerberos\*' + and install any new packages you need. + +20250823: + To restore bridge(4)'s ABI compatibility with ifconfig from 14.x or + earlier, the size of struct ifbreq has changed, so you must update + the kernel and /sbin/ifconfig at the same time or you will not be + able to add interfaces to bridge. 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.

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.
