 Recent changes:
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+20081219:
+	config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
+	swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
+	(done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
+	config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
+	kernels.
+
+20081205:
+	If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
+	/etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
+	set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
+
+20081122:
+	On i386, 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
+	2008/08/20 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.
+	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
