-------------------------------------------
Les changements qui �taient d�j� pr�sents dans la version 4.1.1 ont
l'indication [4.1.1].
1.1. NOYAU
----------
Ajout du gestionnaire de p�riph�riques "tap", un gestionnaire Ethernet virtuel pour les
configurations avec passerelle. [4.1.1]
Ajout de "accept_filters", une fonction du noyau pour r�duire la charge lors de l'acceptation
et de la lecture de nouvelles connections sur des sockets en attentes. [4.1.1]
Les Objets M�moire Partag�s de POSIX.1b sont maintenant support�s. L'impl�mentation
utilise des fichiers ordinaires mais active automatiquement le drapeau MAP_NOSYNC quand
ils sont utilis�s avec mmap(2). [4.1.1]
Le gestionnaire de p�riph�riques ata(4) supporte d�sormais les contr�leurs ATA100. [4.1.1]
Le gestionnaire de p�riph�riques ata(4) supporte maintenant la "gestion de file
d'attente avec �tiquetage" ("tagged queueing") qui est autoris� avec l'option
ATA_ENABLE_TAGS. Il supporte �galement les jeux de composants ServerWorks ROSB4
ATA33, CMD 648 ATA66 et CMD 649 ATA100 ainsi que le Cyrix 5530. Il supporte
aussi les contr�leurs ATA "pseudo" RAID y compris les contr�leurs Promise Fasttrak
et HighPoint HPT370.
Le gestionnaire de p�riph�rique ti(4) supporte d�sormais les cartes Ethernet Alteon
AceNIC 1000baseT Gigabit et Netgear GA620T 1000baseT Gigabit. [4.1.1]
Le type de noeud ng_bridge(4) a �t� ajout� au sous-syst�me netgraph. Diverses
corrections d'erreurs et am�liorations ont �galement �t� apport�es. [4.1.1]
Le support des PC-Cards Ethernet bas� sur les Fujitsu MB86960A/MB86965A est
de retour. [4.1.1]
Ajout du gestionnaire de p�riph�rique asr(4) qui apporte le support de la famille des
contr�leurs SCSI RAID Adaptec ainsi que celle des DPT SmartRAID V et VI. [4.1.1]
Le chargeur de boot pour i386 a maintenant le support pour une console de type
"nullconsole" pour une utilisation sur des syst�mes qui n'ont ni console vid�o ni
port s�rie. [4.1.1]
Ajout du gestionnaire de p�riph�riques pcn(4) qui supporte les adaptateurs AMD PCnet/FAST,
PCnet/FAST+, PCnet/FAST III, PCnet/PRO, PCnet/Home et HomePNA. Bien que ces cartes
soient d�j� support�es par le gestionnaire lnc(4), le gestionnaire pcn utilise le
mode 32-bit et l'alignement RX pour parvenir � une r�ception z�ro-copie. Ce gestionnaire
est �galement ind�pendant du mat�riel, il fonctionne donc � la fois sur i386 et sur
alpha. Le gestionnaire lnc est toujours requis pour le support des cartes non PCI.
Le gestionnaire de p�riph�riques pcm(4) supporte maintenant les cartes son/jeux de
composants ESS Solo 1, Maestro-1, Maestro-2 et Maestro-2e, Forte Media fm801, ESS
Maestro-2e et VIA Technologies VT82C686A. Ce gestionnaire a aussi �t� mis � jour
sur plusieurs points.
Remplacement des options PQ_*CACHE par une seule option PQ_CACHESIZE � positionner
� la taille du cache en kilo-octets. Les anciennes options sont toujours
support�es pour des raisons de compatibilit�.
Les options de configuration du noyau NCPU, NAPIC, NBUS et NINTR pour les
noyaux SMP (multi-processeurs) ont �t� supprim�es. NCPU est maintenant positionn�
� un maximum de 16 et les autres options pr�c�dentes sont maintenant dynamiques.
Mise � jour du gestionnaire de p�riph�riques ahc(4).
Mise � jour du gestionnaire de p�riph�riques amr(4) pour le support des nouveaux
mod�les AMI MegaRAID.

(ICH) SMBus et compatibles.
Le gestionnaire de p�riph�riques bktr(4) a �t� mis � jour avec la version 2.15. De
nouveaux types de tuner ont �t� ajout�s et des am�liorations sur le module KLD et
sur l'allocation m�moire ont �t� apport�es [4.1.1]. Ce gestionnaire a �t� par la
suite mis � jour avec la version 2.17 qui corrige plusieurs erreurs dans devfs lors
du d�chargement et rechargement et inclu des changements provenant de NetBSD.
Mode par �lection (irq 0) par d�faut pour le Contr�leur d'Interface PC Card (pcic).
Les gestionnaires de p�riph�riques ncv(4), nsp(4) et stg(4) ont �t� port�s de
NetBSD/pc98. Ils supportent les contr�leurs SCSI PC-Card/ISA NCR 53C50 / Workbit
Ninja SCSI-3 / TMC 18C30 et 18C50.
Ajout du gestionnaire de p�riph�rique mly(4) pour les contr�leurs Mylex PCI-SCSI
AccelRAID et eXtremeRAID avec les firmware 6.x et sup�rieur.
Mise � jour du gestionnaire de p�riph�riques twe(4) pour les contr�leurs 3ware avec
un gestionnaire de file d'attente am�lior�, le report et la gestion des erreurs et
une interface utilisateur pour l'outil de surveillance "3dm" fourni.
Ajout du gestionnaire de p�riph�riques uscanner(4) qui fournit un support basique
des scanners USB via SANE (consultez le site web de SANE pour les scanners
support�s). Les scanners HP ScanJet 4100C, 5200C et 6300C sont connus pour
fonctionner.
Ajout du gestionnaire de p�riph�riques umodem(4) pour les modems USB. Il supporte
pour l'instant les modems USB 3Com 5605.
1.2. SECURITE
-------------
sysinstall(8) permet maintenant � l'utilisateur de s�lectionner un des trois "profils
de s�curit�" au moment de l'installation. Ces profils autorisent diff�rent niveaux
de s�curit� syst�me en activant ou non divers services syst�mes dans
rc.conf(5) sur les nouvelles installations. [4.1.1]
Plusieurs appels � la librairie g�rant les cha�nes de caract�res ont �t� corrig�s pour
r�duire les possibilit�s de d�bordements de m�moire.
Un trou de s�curit� dans l'�mulation Linux a �t� corrig� (consulter l'avis de
s�curit� FreeBSD-SA-00:42). [4.1.1]
TCP utilise d�sormais un nombre beaucoup plus al�atoire pour choisir ses num�ros de
s�quence initial (consulter l'avis de s�curit� FreeBSD-SA-00:52).
Une erreur dans finger(1) qui pouvait permettre aux utilisateurs distants de voir
les fichiers ayant les droits de lecture pour tous a �t� corrig�e (consulter
l'avis de s�curit� FreeBSD-SA-00:54).
rlogind(8), rshd(8), et fingerd(8) sont maintenant d�sactiv�s par d�faut dans
/etc/inetd.conf. Ce changement n'affecte que les nouvelles installations.
Plusieurs d�bordements de m�moire dans tcpdump(1) ont �t� corrig�s (consulter
l'avis de s�curit� FreeBSD-SA-00:61).
Un trou de s�curit� dans top(1) a �t� corrig� (consulter l'avis de s�curit�
FreeBSD-SA-00:62).
Un trou de s�curit� potentiel caus� par une erreur "off-by-one" dans
gethostbyname(3) a �t� corrig� (consulter l'avis de s�curit�
FreeBSD-SA-00:63).
Un d�bordement de m�moire potentiel dans la librairie ncurses(3X), qui pouvait
permettre � un code quelconque d'�tre ex�cut� depuis systat(1), a �t� corrig�
(consulter l'avis de s�curit� FreeBSD-SA-00:68).
Une vuln�rabilit� dans telnetd(8) qui pouvait le conduire � utiliser une large part
des ressources du serveur a �t� corrig�e (consulter l'avis de s�curit�
FreeBSD-SA-00:69).
La commande "nat deny_incoming" dans ppp(8) fonctionne maintenant correctement (consulter
l'avis de s�curit� FreeBSD-SA-00:70).
1.3. PROGRAMMES UTILISATEUR
---------------------------
RSA Security a abandonn� son brevet sur l'algorithme RSA (2 semaines
avant que le brevet n'expire). En cons�quence, l'impl�mentation native de
OpenSSL de l'algorithme RSA est maintenant activ� par d�faut et le
port rsaref ainsi que la librairie librsaUSA ne sont plus requis pour
les utilisateurs r�sidents aux USA. [4.1.1]
sshd est maintenat autoris� par d�faut sur les nouvelles installations. [4.1.1]
Les num�ros de version des logiciels install�s ont une nouvelle syntaxe (compatible avec
la pr�c�dente) qui supporte les variables "PORTREVISION" et "PORTEPOCH" dans
les fichiers Makefile des ports. Ces modifications aident � suivre les changements
dans la collection de ports tels que les corrections li�es � la s�curit� ou
les mises � jour sp�cifiques � FreeBSD qui ne sont pas reprises dans les distributions
originales. pkg_version(1) peut maintenant comparer ces
nouveaux styles de num�ros de version. [4.1.1]
Mise � jour de sendmail avec la version 8.11.1 (la pr�c�dente �tait la 8.9.3). Les changements
les plus importants : nouveaux emplacements des fichiers par d�faut (consulter
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README), newaliases est limit� � root et aux utilisateurs
privil�gi�s, cryptage STARTTLS et le port MSA (587) est ouvert par d�faut. Consulter
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES pour plus de d�tails.
mail.local(8) n'est plus install� en tant que binaire set-uid. Si vous
utilisez un fichier /etc/mail/sendmail.cf provenant du fichier par d�faut inclu
avec les FreeBSD versions 3.1.0 et plus, cela ne pose aucun probl�me. Si vous
utilisez des fichiers sendmail.cf configur� manuellement et mail.local pour la distribution
des messages, v�rifiez par pr�caution que le drapeau F=S est positionn� dans la ligne
Mlocal. Pour ceux qui utilisent des fichiers .mc et qui auraient besoin d'ajouter ce
drapeau, vous pouvez le faire en ajoutant la ligne suivante dans votre fichier .mc et
en g�n�rant � nouveau le fichier sendmail.cf :
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `+S')dnl
Notez que FEATURE(`local_lmtp') positionne �galement ce drapeau.
Le fichier /etc/mail/sendmail.cf par d�faut interdit les commandes SMTP EXPN et VRFY.
vacation(1) a �t� mis � jour pour utiliser la version incluse avec
sendmail.
Les outils de configuration de sendmail(8) sont install�s dans le r�pertoire
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/.
Mise � jour de OpenSSH avec la version 2.2.0. ssh-add(1) et ssh-agent(1) peuvent
maintenant g�rer les clefs DSA. Un serveur sftp compatible avec les clients ssh.com
et autres a �t� ajout�. scp(1) peut maintenant g�rer les fichiers sup�rieurs � 2Go.
La compatibilit� avec les autres serveurs/clients ssh2 a �t� am�lior�. Une nouvelle
fonction dans sshd pour limiter le nombre de connections ssh non authentifi�es
a �t� ajout�e.
Le compilateur utilise maintenant le code d'initialisation runtime C/C++ fourni
par la FSF. Ce changement apporte une meilleure compatibilit� avec le code
g�n�r� � partir des divers ports egcs et gcc ainsi que le stock
publique de code source de la FSF.
Mise � jour de cvs(1) avec la version 1.11.
La librairie pour les threads a gagn� quelques changements dans la gestion des
signaux, quelques corrections d'erreurs et de meilleures performances (y compris
un basculement entre threads avec z�ro appel syst�me). Le support des threads
dans gdb(1) a �t� mis � jour pour tenir compte de ces changements.
GDB supporte maintenant les points de contr�le mat�riels. [4.1.1]
Mise � jour de routed(8) avec la version 2.22. [4.1.1]
Ajout de l'utilitaire truncate(1) qui tronque ou �tends la longueur
d'un fichier. [4.1.1]
syslogd(8) accepte d�sormais une option -n pour d�sactiver les requ�tes DNS
� chaque requ�te. [4.1.1]
Ajout de kenv(1), une commande pour avoir l'environnement du noyau.
[4.1.1]
Le comportement de periodic(8) est maintenant contr�l� par les fichiers
/etc/defaults/periodic.conf et /etc/periodic.conf. [4.1.1]
logger(1) peut maintenant envoyer des messages directement � un syslog distant. [4.1.1]
OpenSSL a �t� mis � jour avec la version 0.9.5a qui inclue plusieurs am�liorations
et corrections d'erreurs. [4.1.1]
finger(1) peut maintenant supporter les alias via le fichier
finger.conf(5). [4.1.1]
Le gestionnaire de p�riph�riques xl(4) supporte d�sormais les adaptateurs 3Com 3C556
et 3C556B MiniPCI utilis�s sur certains portables. [4.1.1]
killall(1) est maintenant un programme �crit en C et non plus un script Perl. En
cons�quence, l'option -m de killall utilise d�sormais les expressions r�guli�res
avec la syntaxe de regex(3) et non plus celle de perl(1). [4.1.1]
Ajout de boot98cfg(8), un utilitaire d'installation et de configuration de gestionnaire
de boot pour PC-98. [4.1.1]
La commande ifconfig(8) peut maintenant positionner l'adresse de la couche lien
d'une interface. [4.1.1]
setproctitle(3) a �t� d�plac� de libutil � libc. [4.1.1]
sed(1) accepte maintenant une option -E pour le support des expressions
r�guli�res �tendues. [4.1.1]
ln(1) accepte maintenant une option -i pour demander confirmation � l'utilisateur
avant d'�craser un fichier existant. [4.1.1]
Mise � jour et corrections d'erreurs pour tcpdump(1).
Nombreuses mises � jour et corrections d'erreurs de ppp(8).
La proc�dure interne pour compiler perl a chang� et ne d�pends plus
(et ne l'installe plus) de miniperl. Il est recommand� aux utilisateurs
faisant une mise � jour � partir des sources d'effacer /usr/bin/miniperl.
Pour am�liorer les performances et l'utilisation du disque, l'organisation de la
collection des ports FreeBSD a �t� restructur�e. Les ports et les packages
install�s ne devraient pas �tre affect�s.
Mise � jour de ncurses avec ncurses-5.1-20001009.
make(1) a gagn� les variables de modification :C/// (substitution par expression
r�guli�re), :L (minuscule) et :U (majuscule). Cela a �t� ajout� afin de r�duire
les diff�rences entre les programmes make de FreeBSD et de OpenBSD/NetBSD.
Le pourcentage "in use" affich� par netstat(1) refl�te maintenant vraiment le
pourcentage de tampons m�moires r�seaux utilis�s.
chio(1) a maintenant la possibilit� de sp�cifier les �l�ments par nom de volume
au lieu de leurs emplacements physiques ainsi que la possibilit� de faire revenir
un �l�ment � son emplacement pr�c�dent.
La librairie ISC de la distribution BIND est maintenant compil�e en tant que libisc.
IP Filter est maintenant support� par rc.conf(5) pour une configuration et une
initialisation au moment du boot.

3. Obtaining FreeBSD
--------------------
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
3.1. FTP/Mail
-------------
You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
`ftp.freebsd.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
networking terms) to you. Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
Contact [email protected] for more details if you'd like to
become an official mirror site.
3.2. CDROM
----------
FreeBSD 4.x-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
BSDi
4041 Pike Lane, Suite F
Concord CA 94520
1-800-786-9907, +1-925-674-0783, +1-925-674-0821 (FAX)
Or via the Internet from [email protected] or http://www.freebsdmall.com.
Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
FreeBSD SNAPshot CDs, when available, are $39.95 or $14.95 with a
FreeBSD-SNAP subscription (-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely
separate). With a subscription, you will automatically receive updates as
they are released. Your credit card will be billed when each disk is
shipped and you may cancel your subscription at any time without further
obligation.
Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico
and $9.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American
Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United
States. California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
unconditional return policy.
4. Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD
----------------------------------------------
If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely
it's 3.0 and there may be some issues affecting you, depending
of course on your chosen method of upgrading. There are two popular
ways of upgrading FreeBSD distributions:
o Using sources, via /usr/src
o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option.
Please read the UPGRADE.TXT file for more information, preferably
before beginning an upgrade.
5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
script at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html. Bug reports
will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
as possible. Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
watch out for.
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
[email protected]
Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
even onto a totally different system. We much prefer if you could use
this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
reports. However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
the problem might have already been fixed since.
Otherwise, for any questions or tech support issues, please send mail to:
[email protected]
If you're tracking the -stable development efforts, you should
definitely join the -stable mailing list, in order to keep abreast
of recent developments and changes that may affect the way you
use and maintain the system:
[email protected]
Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves! To
contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
mail to:
[email protected]
Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
[email protected]
All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing
to do so. Send mail to [email protected] and include the keyword
`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This
will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
archives, etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
and ask about them!
