 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   
   20120726:
           The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
           directory and DESTDIR.  *Even non-update builds require cleaning
           DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
           some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
           cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
   
   20120507:
           The database schema for makemandb was changed.  You will
           need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
           for the next weekly run to fix it.
   
   20120319:
           sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
           size of db_symtab automatically.  You need to update dbsym in
           your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE.  If
           you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
           mk.conf.
   
   20120216:
           Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO.  Update builds will fail
           unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually.  If you built between 20120207
           and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
           /var/db/man.db index for apropos.  Running makemandb -f or
           the next run of weekly will fix it.
   
   20111227:
           If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
           /usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
           bump has been reverted.
   
   20111125:
           The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
           means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
           configuration files.  The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
           removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
   
   20111119:
           A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
           utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
           bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
           non-backwards-compatible way.  If you replace your kernel,
           replace your rndctl executable too.
