Release notes for FreeBSD 14.0. This file describes new user-visible features, changes and updates relevant to users of binary FreeBSD releases. Each entry should describe the change in no more than several sentences and should reference manual pages where an interested user can find more information. Entries should wrap after 80 columns. Each entry should begin with one or more commit IDs on one line, specified as a comma separated list and/or range. Entries should be separated by a newline. Changes to this file should not be MFCed. various One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream (20210215). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include: o Locale is no longer used for ranges o Various bugs fixed o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic behavior. ee29e6f31111 Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running. The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client can also do 1Mbyte I/O. kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased. A console message will suggest a setting for it. d575e81fbcfa gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device not present at creation time. 76681661be28 Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF). a145cf3f73c7 The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4 supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0, for NFSv4 mounts. The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default.
