r350665:
The fuse driver has been renamed to fusefs(5) and been substantially
rewritten. The new driver includes many bug fixes and performance
enhancements, as well as the following user-visible features:
* Optional kernel-side permissions checks (-o default_permissions)
* mknod(2), socket(2), and pipe(2) support
* server side locking with fcntl(2)
* FUSE operations are now interruptible when mounted with -o intr
* server side handling of UTIME_NOW during utimensat(2)
* mount options may be updated with "mount -u"
* fusefs file system may now be exported over NFS
* RLIMIT_FSIZE support
* support for fuse file systems using protocols as old as 7.4
FUSE file system developers should also take note of the following new
features:
* The protocol level has been raised from 7.8 to 7.23
* kqueue support on /dev/fuse
* server-initiated cache invalidation via FUSE_NOTIFY_REPLY
r350471:
gnop(8) can now configure a delay to be applied to read and write
request delays. See the -d, -q and -x parameters.
r350315, r350316:
Adds a Linux compatible copy_file_range(2) syscall.
r350307:
libcap_random(3) has been removed. Applications can use native
APIs to get random data in capability mode.
r349352:
nand(4) and related components have been removed.
r349349:
The UEFI loader now supports HTTP boot.
r349335:
bhyve(8) now implements a High Definition Audio (HDA) driver, allowing
guests to play to and record audio data from the host.
r349286:
swapon(8) can now erase a swap device immediately before enabling it,
similar to newfs(8)'s -E option. This behaviour can be specified by
adding -E to swapon(8)'s command-line parameters, or by adding the
"trimonce" option to a swap device's /etc/fstab entry.
r347908-r347923:
The following network drivers have been removed: bm(4), cs(4), de(4),
ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), pcn(4), sf(4), sn(4), tl(4), tx(4), txp(4),
vx(4), wb(4), xe(4).
