 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+20010226:
+
+	Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds
+	will break as mtree aborts early.
+
+	To work around add by hand:
+
+	named:*:14:
+
+	to /etc/group and add:
+
+	named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin
+
+	to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).
+
+	Now a make build should progress.
+
+20010219:
+	get/setprogname() added. Any hostprog's that may use this will need
+        to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
+
+        Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff
+			usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to
+			  CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)
+			usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if
+  		          building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.
+
+20010204:
+	prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in
+	particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
+	needs to be installed before make build.
+
+20010114:
+	introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
+	bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
+	anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
+	with make build.
+
+20010101:
+	bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
+	afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
+
+20001230:
+	New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
+	If you get make errors, 
+		(cd share/mk; make install)
+	Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
+
+20001019:
+	The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
+	major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
+	directory.
+
+20000929:
+	The following make directives are obsoleted.
+	MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA 
+	By default, RSA is built into libcrypto.  IDEA and RC5 will not be
+	built into libcrypto.  By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
+	additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
+
 20000623:
 	MKCRYPTO and friends added to share/mk/bsd.own.mk.
 	'cd share/mk ; make install' needed before make build.
