  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ 20081122:
+         On i386 and amd64, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
+         file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
+         Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
+         following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
+         - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
+         - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
+           for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
+         If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
+         the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
+         file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
+ 20080827:
+         If you built and installed a libc from sources between
+/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
+         which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
+         Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
+         needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
+           $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
+ 20080813:
+         MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
+         about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
+ 20080731:
+         WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
+         time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
+         and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
+         don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
+         especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
+         also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
+         can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
+ 20080721:
+         Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
+         isn't defined.
+ 20080531:
+         The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
+         from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
+         utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
+         won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
+           $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
+           $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
+           $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
+         leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
+ 20080503:
+         The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
+ 20080521:
+         For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
+         succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
+         ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist.  A fix for this
+         problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
+         If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
+         remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
+ 20080303:
+         Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
+ 20080126:
+         The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
+         stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to
+         'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
+         avoid using the old assembly stub.
+ 20071209:
+         The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
+         get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
+         configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
+ 20071115:
+         The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
+         argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
+         anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
+         rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
+         configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
  20071028:
          The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
          You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have

          has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
          to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
          root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
-         root filesytem will be relative to that filesystem - unless they
+         root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
          start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
          that has such links.
          This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
