 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   
 20040621:  20050830:
           named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
           postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
           Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
           this in their DESTDIR.
   
   20050825:
           Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
           attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
           modified to emit the new data structures.
           Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
           configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
   
   20050531:
           genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
           tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
           you can build a kernel again.
   
   20050520:
           Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
           xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
   
   20050417:
           postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
           of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
           upgrade.
   
   20050325:
           pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4).  Be sure
           to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
           configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
           with wsconsctl.  Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
           might even not hear any more beep.  Also, it is advised to attach both
           devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
           pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
   
   20050211:
           Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
           some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
           cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
           different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
           make a build continue.
   
   20050109:
           Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
           /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
           for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
           a password).
   
   20041229:
           Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
           being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
           you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
           the build.
   
   20041201:
           Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
           /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
           MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
   
   20041006:
   
           A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
           variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
           will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
           on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
   
           ident /bin/sh | grep var
   
           Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
           before attempting a build.
   
   20041001:
           The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
           dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
           dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
           before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
           ftp-proxy are the victims).
   
   20040715:
           The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
           if sendmail should be started at boot time.  It checks the
           contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
           owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
           to the mail infrastructure have been made.  If no changes
           are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
   
           Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
   
           If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
           local delivery, it is important that you also update your
           sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
           loopback interface.
   
   20040715:
           The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
           kernel builds has been changed again.  The latest version
           of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
   
   20040621:

           postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
           /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
           detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
           manually move these files yourself.
