                     18:        code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running

                     41:        Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
                     42:        were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
                     43:        mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
                     44:        been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
                     45:        export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
                     46:        make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
                     47:        file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
                     48:        a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.

                     51:        The superblock layout for FFS was changed.  If you have 1.6
                     52:        fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
                     53:        with the first alternate, because they compare too many
                     54:        fields (even ones that aren't useful).  If possible, upgrade
                     55:        your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
                     56:        None of this signals actual filesystem damage.

                     59:        sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported.  Since sendmail is

                     64:        is named netbsd-msp.cf.  Upgrading your regular sendmail
                     65:        configuration file is also strongly advised.
                     66:

                     80:        "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
                     81:        This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
                     82:        For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and

                     95:

                     97:        this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83      kei        98:        use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and

                    118:        (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were

                    120:        This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
                    121:        new libraries are installed.  The process of rebuilding
                    122:        libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new

                    125:
                    126:        An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
                    127:        which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
                    128:        their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.

                    131:        A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
                    132:        corrected.
                    133:
                    134:        NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
                    135:        default.  However, the assembler lacked support for marking
                    136:        objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79      wiz       137:        compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75      thorpej   138:        to the assembler.
                    139:
                    140:        Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
                    141:        old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
                    142:        incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
                    143:
                    144:        The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
                    145:        a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
                    146:        against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
                    147:        markings.  ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
                    148:        WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
                    149:
                    150:        The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
                    151:        the libraries on the system.  The easiest way to do this for
1.79      wiz       152:        system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are

1.75      thorpej   154:        have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
                    155:        if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
