+The following list sums up (almost) all the changes made up to October 9.
-- ...
-
- 3.6 -> 3.6-CURRENT.
+
+
- Allow nm(1) to work on cross targets of different sizes as well as endianness.
+
- Don't use 64-bit tests on 32-bit values when testing for void PCI memory regions.
+
- Add another 500 microseconds of delay after a PHY reset, the DP83840A needs it.
+
- Add 1000base*X autonegotiation and 1000baseT master-mode support. From NetBSD.
+
+
- Update the tail pointer correctly when the hotplug(4) queue is full.
+
- Remove a null dereference in bgpd(8).
+
- Fix a couple of buffer overruns in kbd(8).
+
- Don't ever increment past the end of a message in ipsecadm(8)'s monitor command.
+
+
- Add a generic driver, gentbi(4), for Gigabit Ethernet ten-bit interfaces. From NetBSD.
+
- Add constants to mii.h for 1000base*X autonegotiation, and a constant for 1000baseT nic-to-nic master mode to if_media.h.
+
- In ssh-agent(1), don't unlink the agent socket if bind(2) fails.
+
- New -p option and 'p' command to top(1), to show just a single process.
+
+
- On Intel-chipped dc(4) devices, share the bus evenly between receive and transmit, improving forwarding performance under heavy load.
+
- Set the TCP congestion window to two segments instead of one, matching the window size when entering the ESTABLISHED state.
+
- Unshadow a variable and unbreak tcpdump(8) on carp(4) interfaces.
+
+
- Call vsyslog(3) with a priority, not a facility in ifstated(8).
+
- Drop the spamd(8) default passtime to 25 minutes, so that mailers with a quadratic retry schedule that causes a retry at 26 minutes are allowed through.
+
- Lots of work on the package tools' new object system.
+
- Don't reset the chip when attaching an it(4) hardware monitor, stopping the fans going into jet engine mode.
+
- When sending carp(4) advertisements, protect the call to ip_output() with splsoftnet(9).
+
- Change the default return code from the spamd(8) greylister from 450 to 451. The latter code works better with mailer clusters, makeing them more likely to retry from the same IP address the next time.
+
- Fix a buffer overflow in tput(1) with the -S option.
+
- Don't allow a peer ID of zero in bgpd(8).

+
- Stacks of manpage cleanup.
+
- Switch amd(8) from select(2) to poll(2).

+
- In ntpd(8), take the median value for the offset instead of taking an average.
+
+
- New nvram(4) driver for i386, read-only for now.
+
- Remove a marginal mmap(2) optimisation from grep(1) that was causing some newline problems (PR#3940, PR#3941).
+
+
- Have diff(1) continually retry getdirentries(2) until our buffer is large enough to store it all.
+
- Unbust <stdbool.h> for newer gcc(1) versions.

+
- Ethernet autonegotiation fixes to rl(4). From FreeBSD.
+

+
- Don't pretend to have an ifmedia structure in le(4), fixing some panics (PR#3407, PR#3661).
+
+
- Add back some snprintf(3) string cleaning lost in the BIND 9.3.0 merge.
+

+
- Some refactoring and shrinkage in the installer.
+
+
- Fix a buffer overrun in xman(1) when reading the search string (X.Org bugzilla #1481).
+
- Clean up disklabel(8) output for modern large disks (based on PR#3847).

+
- Drop osi and mask keywords from route(8).
+
+
- Change sysctl(3) KERN_INTRCNT_CNT to return a quad instead of an int.
+
- Add some read(2) and write(2) error checks to route(8).

+
- Remove source-routing support from route(8).
+
+
- Initial support for @newuser and @newgroup packing elements in pkg_create(1) and friends.
+
- If X is running, stop the wsdisplay(4) screen blanker firing when its settings are changed.
+
- Add 'no-scrub' pf.conf(5) keyword, allowing specific traffic to bypass the normaliser.
+
- Iconify xconsole(1) in the standard xinit(1) rc file.
+
- Display route labels with route(8)'s show command.
+
+
- Get parameters to m_gethdr(9) the right way round in IPX-in-IP code.
+
- Fix the no-route pf(4) keyword for IPv6.
+
- In gzip(1), look for the last instead of the first dot in a filename before tacking on a '.gz' extension, so foo.bar.gz is tried if foo.bar is given on the command line but doesn't exist.
+
- splx(9) later in brelse(9) to protect flags being set on the buffer.
+
- Disable dynamic standby on 82550-based fxp(4) cards.
+
+
- New vnode(9)-related manual pages for vflushbuf(9) and vwakeup(9).
+
- Check for waitpid(2) errors in disklabel(8).
+
- Fix an off-by-one in awi(4)'s WEP algorithm selection code.
+
- Install PostScript docs for yacc(1).
+
- Set NOLINT for GNU code, there's just no way it's ever going to work.
+
- In ntpd(8) with -s, only call settimeofday(2) if the offset is larger than 180 seconds. Otherwise, adjtime(2) can cope with the offset sensibly.
+
- Move the ntpd(8) startup earlier in /etc/rc(8), and use the -s flag unconditionally.
+
- New -s flag for ntpd(8), which sets the time using settimeofday(2) before daemonizing. This removes the need to run rdate(8) early in /etc/rc(8).
+
- In libpthread, allow a thread in the FD[RW]_WAIT states to be suspended.
+
- Fix the build process for the ahc(4) microcode.
+
- New %z and %t modifiers to *printf(3) for displaying size_t and ptrdiff_t respectively.
+
- Add a framework in the package tools to distinguish packages added manually by the user from those added as dependencies for other packages.
+
- Enable @shell keyword in pkg_add(1) etc., adding and removing an /etc/shells(5) entry as required.
+
- Make spamlogd(8) respect the -I option, and change its bpf(4) filter so that it only looks at TCP S/SA packets. From PR#3914.
+
- Update sendmail(8) to version 8.13.1.
+
- More pcmcia(4) CIS fixes. From NetBSD.
+
+
- Set the keyboard encoding earlier in /etc/rc(8).
+
- Clean up state creation and destruction reference counting in pf(4) and pfsync(4), fixing problems with adaptive timeouts, max-states limits and rule leaks.
+
- Fix a segfault in hack(6) (PR#3923).
+
- Reset MINCLSIZE back to the old value so that clusters are created as soon as the packet is bigger than the standard header size. This is a conservative measure for this release.
+
- More signal flag race fixes, in isakmpd(8) this time.
+
- Don't ignore next-payload type NAT-OA in isakmpd(8).
+
- Have pkg_add(1) etc. warn about use of the deprecated @dirrm keyword.
+
+

+
- Stop dhcpd(8) calling inet_ntoa(3) twice per log message.
+
- Handle '%ll' with positional arguments correctly in *printf(3).
+
- Don't remove a cloned peer immediately when it goes back to IDLE, keep it around for a while. That way, if it went away because a capabilities negotiation failed, it doesn't come back later with the same (incompatible) capabilities and so fail again.
+
- Unbreak MD5FileChunk(3) when passed a zero length, and so make MD5File(3) work again.
+
- Have tcpdump(8) print the th_seq field from truncated TCP headers, e.g. in an icmp frag-needed-but-DF-set error.
+
- Give TCP some extra smarts (SS_ISSENDING) so that it doesn't send partial segments when the socket layer is still busy sending to it. Inspired by FreeBSD and NetBSD.
+
- New '-T tcp' button for tcpdump(8) to force interpretation as TCP.
+
- Teach tcpdump(8) about NFSv3.
+
- Correct an off-by-one in fmt_scaled(3), allowing it to show 1099512676352 == 2.0T properly.
+
- Fix more signal flag races, this time in comsat(8) and rpc.rstatd(8).
+
- Drop the 'fallback interface' code from dhcpd(8), and store enough state to send a relayed request back to the right place.
+
- Fix an off_t->int truncation in rwhod(8), found by lint(1).
+
- Add some additional pcmcia(4) CIS sanity checks.
+
+
- Several manual page fixes.
+
- Fix a stack of compiler warnings in libkvm.
+
- Restore hotplugd(8)'s ability to handle events queued before the daemon starts.
+
- New -Dvar=value option for pkg_create(1).
+
- Don't use a double where an int will do in sshd(8).
+
- Add a negative index check in the hardware sensor sysctl(3) handler.
+
- Have mount(8) dump attribute caching parameters in verbose mode.
+
- Fix races on the signal flags in bgpd(8) and inetd(8).
+
- Have mount_nfs(8)'s noac option turn attribute caching off instead of on.
+
- Let rdate(8) accept NTP responses with stratum 0.
+
- A bunch of lint(1)-inspired cleanup in ntpd(8).
+
+
- Teach pkg_add(1) etc. about GNU info directories.
+
- Remove all use of system() in favour of System()/VSystem() in the package tools.
+
- Fix a file descriptor leak in df(1).
+
- Have pkg_add(1) complain when configuration files can't be installed.
+
- In pkg_add(1) etc., use the uid/gid cache module and perl(1)'s own chown() function instead of system('chown',...).
+
- Change arg 4 of kvm_openfiles(3) to unsigned so that KVM_NO_FILES is in range.
+
- Add mtree and uid/gid cache modules and an error wrapper to pkg_add(1) etc.
+
- Remove a gcc-specific constructs from bgpd(8), inetd(8) and syslogd(8).
+
- In bgpd(8), treat ENOBUFS from sendmsg(2) like EAGAIN and retry later.
+
- Start work on support for mtree(8) support for pkg_add(1) etc.
+
- A bunch of delint(1)ing, especially signal handlers with unused signo, and other unused variables.
+
- 3.6 -> 3.6-current.
