The highlights in the 7.3-RELEASE are the following:
+ +The ZFS file system has been + updated to version 13. The changes include ZFS operations by a regular + user, L2ARC, ZFS Intent Log on separated disks (slog), sparse volumes, + and so on.
A lock handling error has been fixed in interaction between + + malloc(3) + implementation and threading library.
A deadlock in the + sched_ule(4) + scheduler has been fixed.
A new sysctl variable security.bsd.map_at_zero has been added
+ and set to 1 (allow) by default. This
+ controls whether FreeBSD allows to map an object at the
+ address 0, which is part of the
+ user-controlled portion of the virtual address
+ space. Disabling this has some effect on preventing an attack
+ which injects malicious code into that location and triggers a
+ NULL pointer dereference in the kernel.
A new boot loader gptzfsboot, + which supports GPT and ZFS has been added. zfsloader, the final boot loader similar + to + loader(8) which + supports ZFS has been added.
[amd64, i386] CPU cache flushing has been optimized when + changing caching attributes of pages by doing nothing for CPUs that + support self-snooping and using CLFLUSH + instead of a full cache invalidate when possible.
The amdsbwd(4) driver for AMD + SB600/SB7xx watchdog timer has been added.
[amd64, i386] The + hwpmc(4) driver for + Hardware Performance Monitoring Counter support has been + added.
DRM now supports Radeon HD 4200 (RS880), 4770 (RV740), and + R6/7xx 3D, and Intel G41 chips.
The alc(4) driver for + Atheros AR8131/AR8132 PCIe Ethernet controller has been + added.
[sparc64] The cas(4) driver has been + added to provide support for Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National + Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet devices.
A userland utility + mfiutil(8) for the mfi(4) devices has + been added.
A userland utility + mptutil(8) for the + mpt(4) devices has + been added.
The yp(8) utilities now + support shadow.byname and shadow.byuid maps. These requires + privileged port access.
The + service(8) command + as an easy interface for the rc.d scripts has been + added.
ISC BIND has been updated to + version 9.4-ESV.
sendmail has been updated from + version 8.14.3 to version 8.14.4.
The supported version of the GNOME desktop environment (x11/gnome2) has been updated to + 2.28.2.
The supported version of the KDE + desktop environment (x11/kde4) has been updated to 4.3.5.
FreeBSD release ISO images now have “FreeBSD-” + at the beginning of the filenames.
For more details, please see the + Detailed Release Notes.
+ +A list of all platforms currently under development can be found + on the Supported + Platforms page.
