  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ 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
