o OpenSSH has been upgraded to 7.1p2.
o A bug in bsnmpd(1) causing breakage on platforms with strict alignment
requirements has been fixed.
o A leak of routing table allocations occurring when shutting down VNET-
enabled jails has been fixed.
o The tty(4) layer now prohibits opening the callout device when the
corresponding callin device (in disguise as the console device) is
already opened.
o Corruption of coredumps due to procstat notes changing size during
coredump generation have been fixed.
o A leap-seconds file for ntpd(8) now is installed by default and
ntpd.conf(5) as well as the corresponding rc(8) files have been
updated accordingly. Additionally, support for updating the leap-
seconds file via periodic(8) has been added (defaulting to off).
o The UEFI ZFS loader has been updated to support the latest ZFS Boot
Environment (BE) loader menu features.
o The initialization of random(9) has been adjusted so it is usable
earlier. This fixes the "random device not loaded; using insecure
entropy" message output during boot on some systems.
o The ixgbe(4) driver has been updated to the Intel FreeBSD Networking
Group version 3.1.13-k and support for X552 and X550T was added. Also,
SFP module insertion post boot, the VF handling of VLANs in the Amazon
Cloud, GBIC and PHY power setup (correcting link detected on X540-AT2
after a previous boot to Linux) and incorrect reporting of unsupported
flow control auto negotiation have been fixed. Additionally, the flow
control and link speed negotiation defaults now may be be configured
via the hw.ix.flow_control and hw.ix.advertise_speed loader tunables
respectively, with the previously available hw.ix.enable_aim now only
setting the default for adaptive interrupt moderation and which can be
overridden on a per-interface basis during runtime via the enable_aim
SYSCTL.
Note, however, that Amazon EC2 Enhanced Networking later turned out to
actually still not operate properly with these changes.
o The sfxge(4) driver has been enhanced with a SIOCGI2C IOCTL, allowing
to query SFP+/QSFP+ module information via `ifconfig -v`.
o The UEFI boot loader received several improvements: /boot/config and
/boot.config files now are adhered to, multi device boot support works
and command line argument parsing has been added. |
