UPDATING

This file documents some of the problems you may encounter when upgrading
your ports.  We try our best to minimize these disruptions, but sometimes
they are unavoidable.

You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each time
you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

20260724:
  AFFECTS: users of news/inn, news/inn-current
  AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org

  The BERKELEYDB option now depends on databases/db18 instead of
  databases/db5 (EOL).  If you use the ovdb overview method, stop the
  news system, upgrade the port, then upgrade the overview database
  in-place as the news user before restarting:

    # service innd stop
    # pkg upgrade news/inn   # or rebuild from ports
    # su -m news -c 'ovdb_init -u'
    # service innd start

  The upgrade is in-place and cannot be undone.  See ovdb_init(8) for
  details.  Users not using ovdb can ignore this entry.

20260721:
  AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable
  AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

  The OpenSSH HPN option and flavor are deprecated and will be removed.
  Base removed the patch in 2016, and the patch has not matched upstream
  in many years. The new upstream is named "hpn-ssh". It may be revived
  as a separate package/port in the future.

  To switch the package:
  # pkg set -n openssh-portable-hpn:openssh-portable

  Remove these options:
    sshd_config:
      - NoneEnabled
      - HPNDisabled
      - HPNBufferSize
      - TcpRcvBufPoll
    ssh_config:
      - NoneEnabled
      - NoneSwitch
      - TcpRcvBufPoll
      - TcpRcvBuf
      - HPNDisabled
      - HPNBufferSize

20260708:
  AFFECTS: users of net/croc
  AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org

  The croc rc script now honors an optional croc_host variable that binds
  the relay to a specific local address instead of all interfaces.

  This is needed on hosts with IP forwarding enabled (typically routers),
  where the "croc relay" startup self-check connects to the wildcard
  address (0.0.0.0) and fails with "network is unreachable", causing the
  relay to exit immediately.  If your relay does not stay running, set a
  local address of the host in /etc/rc.conf, for example:

      croc_host="192.0.2.1"

  Leaving croc_host empty (the default) keeps the previous behavior of
  listening on all interfaces.

20260707:
  AFFECTS: users of mail/bogofilter
  AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

  Due to the LMDB 1.0 incompatibility (see 20260702 entry for
  databases/lmdb), mail/bogofilter currently depends on lmdb0
  so it can continue using existing wordlist.lmdb databases.

  For users who wish to transition to LMDB 1.0.0, please:
  - identify all wordlist.lmdb files, and
  - for each of them, run:
    bogoutil -d /path/to/wordlist.ldmb >/path/to/wordlist.txt
  - THEN you can install to mail/bogofilter-lmdb1,
  - for each of the wordlist.lmdb files, move them to a safe
    place, and recreate them from the text file, i.e.
    for each, run:
    bogoutil -l /path/to/wordlist.lmdb </path/to/wordlist.txt

  At a later point, we will upgrade mail/bogofilter to refer
  to lmdb 1.0 and remove the bogofilter-lmdb1 port.

20260702:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/lmdb
  AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org

  LMDB 1.0 introduced an incompatible on-disk file format change.
  Versions 0.9.x and 1.0.x databases are mutually incompatible.

  Before upgrading, export all existing databases using the old v0.9
  mdb_dump utility, then import them with the new v1.0 mdb_load after
  upgrading.  There is no support for opening v0.9 database files
  directly with LMDB 1.0.

  Example migration procedure:
  # mdb_dump -a /path/to/db > /tmp/mydb.dump
  # pkg upgrade databases/lmdb
  # mdb_load -f /tmp/mydb.dump /path/to/newdb

20260630:
  AFFECTS: users of audio/murmur
  AUTHOR: vvd@FreeBSD.org

  Branch 1.3 is deprecated by upstream. Also it doesn't support OpenSSL 3.
  Port audio/murmur removed from tree - use audio/mumble-server instead.
  Upstream has renamed murmur to mumble-server, so when upgrading to
  version 1.5.x, you need to do the following:
  1. Before upgrade stop server:
      service murmur stop
  2. Rename all working files and directories:
      mv /var/db/murmur/murmur.sqlite /var/db/murmur/mumble-server.sqlite
      mv /var/db/murmur               /var/db/mumble-server
      mv /var/log/murmur/murmur.log   /var/log/murmur/mumble-server.log
      mv /var/log/murmur              /var/log/mumble-server
      mv /var/run/murmur              /var/run/mumble-server
  3. Backup murmur.ini:
      mv /usr/local/etc/murmur.ini    /usr/local/etc/murmur.ini.old
  4. Remove port audio/murmur and install audio/mumble-server.
  5. Remove old user and group murmur:
      pw userdel murmur
      pw groupdel murmur
  6. Change owner of old files:
      chown -R mumble-server:mumble-server /var/db/mumble-server \
                    /var/log/mumble-server /var/run/mumble-server
  7. Add your customizations in /usr/local/etc/mumble/mumble-server.ini.
  8. Update /etc/rc.conf:
      replace murmur_enable="YES" with mumble_server_enable="YES".
  9. Start server:
      service mumble_server start

20260630:
  AFFECTS: users of net-im/gotosocial
  AUTHOR: tilde@ultros.pro

  net-im/gotosocial has been updated to 0.22.0

  New configuration options have been added and the upgrade involves
  lengthy database migrations (allow upwards of 30 minutes) which must not
  be interrupted.

  Upgrade procedure:

  1. # service gotosocial stop
  2. Backup database
  3. # pkg upgrade gotosocial
  4. Merge new options from etc/gotosocial/config.yaml.sample
  5. # service gotosocial start (do not interrupt database migrations!)

  PostgreSQL users will need to perform the following manual steps in
  addition:

  6. Connect to gotosocial database using `psql` command
  7. VACUUM FULL;
  8. VACUUM FULL ANALYZE;
  9. VACUUM (DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING ON);
  10. # service gotosocial restart

  See details at https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.22.0

20260628:
  AFFECTS: users of www/gitea
  AUTHOR: nxjoseph@FreeBSD.org

  Gitea 1.26.3 tightens the fork pull request approval gate:
  a pull request from a fork must now be merged before it can bypass
  the approval gate (#38041). Review your workflow approval settings
  if you rely on the previous behavior.
  https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/38041

20260626:
  AFFECTS: net-mgmt/netbox
  AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org

  1. With Release Netbox 4.6, Python 3.12 or newer is now required.

     This was actually already the case with previous NetBox 4.5 release,
     but it could be worked around using smaller patches to ensure
     compatibility with older Python releases.

  2. Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.

20260624
  AFFECTS: Python users
  AUTHOR: vishwin@FreeBSD.org

  The default version of python has been switched to 3.12.

  For ports users wanting to keep version 3.11 as default,
  add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.11 to make.conf

  With packages, the following may ease the process:
  # pkg set -p -n py311-:py312-
  # pkg upgrade

  If no longer required, Python 3.11 can be removed via
  "pkg remove python311" and the directory /usr/local/lib/python3.11 can
  then be deleted afterwards, if not empty.

20260616:
  AFFECTS: Users of security/gnupg, security/gnupg25, security/gnupg1
  AUTHOR: adridg@FreeBSD.org

  GnuPG 2.4 reaches end-of-life in July 2026.  The 2.5 series is declared
  stable upstream.  Port security/gnupg25 will be retired and security/gnupg
  is updated to the 2.5 series.  As a result, users of security/gnupg25 must
  switch (back) to security/gnupg.  GnuPG 2.5 is backwards-compatible
  with 2.4 and regular users of security/gnupg should experience no issues.
  Upstream has removed co-installability with GnuPG 1.4, users that install
  both security/gnupg and legacy security/gnupg1 will have to uninstall one.

20260616:
  AFFECTS: Users of net-mgmt/librenms
  AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org

  LibreNMS 26.6.0 bring in a sizeable refactor to the rrd processes.

  A new configuration item is required for the font-cache directory.

  Add this entry to $PREFIX/librenms.env

  XDG_CACHE_HOME=/var/db/librenms/font-cache

20260614:
  AFFECTS: Users of www/mattermost-server
  AUTHOR: decke@FreeBSD.org

  Mattermost 11.x dropped support for MySQL / MariaDB database.

  If you are affected please read the migration guidelines before updating:
  https://docs.mattermost.com/deployment-guide/postgres-migration.html

20260609:
  AFFECTS: Users of x11-wm/mango
  AUTHOR: nivit@FreeBSD.org

  Version 0.14.0 of Mango has some breaking changes:

  - IPC Protocol Upgrade: The old dwl IPC protocol is now deprecated and will
    be removed in the next version.
  - Socket Restructuring: mmsg(1) now restricts the use of independent sockets.
    This structural change delivers a more powerful, concise, and reliable
    syntax, allowing you to seamlessly retrieve data for all clients, tags,
    monitors, and messages.

  As a result, you must adapt any script that uses the mmsg(1) command to
  the new syntax.

20260605:
  AFFECTS: Users of dns/dnsmasq-devel
  AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

  The dns/dnsmasq-devel port has been unable to keep the pace of the upstream
  releases due project admin issues beyond its maintainer's control. At the
  same time, dns/dnsmasq is now at the 2.93 release, thus newer than
  dnsmasq-devel.  The -devel port is no longer useful at this time.

  Users are sought to replace the dnsmasq-devel port and install dnsmasq
  instead. The configuration including rc.conf settings are compatible,
  so a simple "pkg install dnsmasq" or, for portmaster users,
  "portmaster -o dns/dnsmasq dns/dnsmasq-devel" should achieve that.

20260601:
  AFFECTS: Users of security/lego
  AUTHOR: matt@matthoran.com

  To migrate from lego v4 to v5 run

  $ lego migrate --path PREFIX/etc/ssl/lego

  as the LEGO_USER user. This command migrates to a new file structure and
  outputs configuration that can be used as the basis for ETCDIR/lego.yml. See
  https://go-acme.github.io/lego/references/ref-file/index.html for more
  details on the configuration file format.

  ETCDIR/lego.sh will need to be updated as well, as the renew command has been
  removed. The script can also be simplified when a configuration file is used.
  See ETCDIR/lego.sh.sample for an example.

20260531:
  AFFECTS: Users of x11-wm/hyprland
  AUTHOR: tagattie@FreeBSD.org

  Starting from version 0.55.0, Hyprland supports Lua-based
  configuration syntax. The old hyprlang-based configuration is
  deprecated and will be supported for a few more releases. After
  that, old configuration will be dropped. Users are encouraged to
  migrate from the hyprlang-based configuration to the Lua-based
  one. For more details, please visit the following URLs:

  https://hypr.land/news/26_lua/
  https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/

20260515:
  AFFECTS: Users of net/rsync
  AUTHOR: rodrigo@FreeBSD.org

  Since rsync 3.4.2, the rsync project removed support for the unmaintained
  rsync-patches archive. As a consequence options such as File system flags
  (--fileflags) are not available anymore in default build.

20260510:
  AFFECTS: Users of games/minecraft-server
  AUTHOR: freebsd.tug890@passmail.net

  The file structure of how worlds and their data are stored have been
  changed since new 26.1 version.
  If you upgrade from a version older than 26.1 (v1.21.11 for example),
  you can get the following error during wold upgrade:
  "
  net.minecraft.util.filefix.virtualfilesystem.exception.CowFSSymlinkException:
  Cannot build copy-on-write file system when symlink is present: ./world
  "

  To successfully migrate your world, you must relocate /var/db/minecraft
  content in /usr/local/minecraft/world, then launch 'minecraft-server'
  as usual.
  When 'world' upgrade is finished, stop 'minecraft-server' then relocate
  your world in initial folder /var/db/minecraft-server.

  Approximate list of commands:
  # service minecraft stop
  # mv /usr/local/minecraft/world /usr/local/minecraft/world.bak
  # mv /var/db/minecraft-server /usr/local/minecraft/world
  # service minecraft start
  Wait until the conversion is complete.
  # service minecraft stop
  # mv /usr/local/minecraft/world /var/db/minecraft-server
  # /usr/local/minecraft/world.bak /usr/local/minecraft/world
  # service minecraft start
  Enjoy!

20260508:
  AFFECTS: users of shells/bash-completion
  AUTHOR: michaelo@FreeBSD.org

  Port does not depend on shells/bash{,-static} anymore. Install the port
  directly. See PR 292138 and 292501 for details.

20260425:
  AFFECTS: Users of security/openssh-portable
  AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

  Some defaults have changed to match src.

  - X11Forwarding default has changed from "yes" to "no".
  - PermitRootLogin default has changed from "prohibit-password" to "no".

20260418:
  AFFECTS: Users of net/rsync and net/rsync@python
  AUTHOR: rodrigo@FreeBSD.org

  Revert the introduction of two net/rsync flavours, the default  without
  the rrsync script and the python flavour with rrsync and python as a dependency.
  Restore the previous setup with a single net/rsync package that includes
  the rrsync script but does not depend on Python.
  Users who require the rrsync script must install Python separately,
  as indicated in the install message.

20260412:
  AFFECTS: Users of sysutils/ansible
  AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org

  An overhaul of the templating system and a new feature called Data Tagging
  may affect existing roles resulting in problematic behaviours. Users should
  review the Ansible 12 Porting Guide at
  https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_12.html

20260412:
  AFFECTS: Users of sysutils/py-ansible-core
  AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org

  A number of behavioural changes may affect existing playbooks and roles.
  Users are encouraged to review the Ansible-core 2.19 Porting Guide at
  https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/porting_guides/porting_guide_core_2.19.html

20260411:
  AFFECTS: users of elisp (*-emacs_*) packages
  AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org

  Packages for different flavors of elisp ports have been removed.  For
  example, the old and new packages for devel/tablist are:
  |-------------------------+---------|
  | Before                  | After   |
  |-------------------------+---------|
  | tablist                 | tablist |
  | tablist-emacs_canna     |         |
  | tablist-emacs_devel_nox |         |
  | tablist-emacs_devel     |         |
  | tablist-emacs_nox       |         |
  | tablist-emacs_wayland   |         |
  |-------------------------+---------|

  If you have any -emacs_* packages installed, simply running `pkg upgrade`
  will not upgrade and replace them with the new package.  Run these commands
  under /bin/sh with superuser privileges before upgrading.

  for i in $(pkg query -g %n *-emacs_*); do
    if [ "$i" != "notmuch-emacs_*" ]; then
      nn=$(echo "$i" | sed -e 's/-emacs_[a-z_]*//')
    else
      nn=$(echo "$i" | sed -e 's/-emacs_[a-z_]*/-emacs/')
    fi
    pkg set -yn "$i":"$nn"
  done

  If you are building ports in an unclean environment, you may have to specify
  the Emacs build flavor to avoid conflicts.  For example, if you have the
  default flavor of editors/emacs installed, add the following to
  /etc/make.conf:

  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=emacs=full

  Possible values are: full, canna, nox, wayland, devel_full, and devel_nox.
  Values prefixed with devel_ select editors/emacs-devel; others select
  editors/emacs.  The default is nox.

20260401:
  AFFECTS: users of security/openvpn
  AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

  The openvpn 2.7 port update no longer installs the openvpn-client.up
  and openvpn-client.down scripts into libexec/, but instead a
  dns-updown script into libexec/openvpn/.
  Review your configuration, and the openvpn man page for --dns-updown.

20260329:
  AFFECTS: users of java/openjdk25 and java/openjdk26 with the jre flavor
  AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org

  The openjdk-jre packages for versions 25 and 26 have been renamed.  Users with
  the old package names installed should run the following /bin/sh script with
  superuser privileges before upgrading.

  jre=$(pkg query -g %n-%v "*openjdk-jre-25*" "*openjdk-jre-26*")
  if echo "$jre" | grep -q "\-25"; then
      on=$(pkg query -g %n "*openjdk-jre-25*")
      nn="openjdk25-jre"
  elif echo "$jre" | grep -q "\-26"; then
      on=$(pkg query -g %n "*openjdk-jre-26*")
      nn="openjdk26-jre"
  fi
  if [ -n "$nn" ]; then
      pkg set -yn "$on":"$nn"
  fi

20260327:
  AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-{driver, kmod}
  AUTHOR: junchoon@dec.sakura.ne.jp

  x11/nvidia-driver and x11/nvidia-kmod are upgraded to latest
  Production Branch [PB] of upstream driver package.

  Just as -devel variant upgraded 20260103, this version drops
  support for a bunch of old (pre-Turing generations of
  architecture) GPUs.

  You can find still supported GPUs below.
    https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/FreeBSD-x86_64/595.58.03/README/supportedchips.html

  So anyone using related ports
    x11/nvidia-kmod
    x11/nvidia-driver
    graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod
    x11/linux-nvidia-libs
  with dropped GPUs needs to switch to newly added legacy 580 ports.
    x11/nvidia-kmod-580
    x11/nvidia-driver-580
    graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod-580
    x11/linux-nvidia-libs-580

  Deinstalling master ports above and reinstalling -580 variant of
  ports above would do the right things.

  If any of above hesitates to upgrade with version conflicts
  of graphics/eglexternalplatform, upgrade it first and retrying
  failed ones should help.

20260326:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql80-(server|client)
  AUTHOR: joneum@FreeBSD.org

  The default MySQL version has been updated from 8.0 to 8.4.

  If you compile your own ports you may keep 8.0 as the default version by
  adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:

  #
  # Keep MySQL 8.0 as default version
  #
  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=mysql=8.0

  If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
  running server instance. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
  on installed packages.

  # pkg set -o databases/mysql80-client:databases/mysql84-client
  # pkg set -o databases/mysql80-server:databases/mysql84-server
  # pkg upgrade

20260325:
  AFFECTS: users of math/coq
  AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org

  Upstream no longer installs Emacs lisp, so the Emacs flavors have been
  removed.  In order for a `pkg upgrade` to install new versions of coq,
  any installed package for a non-default flavor must be renamed.  Do
  this by running the commands below under /bin/sh with superuser
  privileges:

  on=$(pkg query -g %n coq-emacs_*)
  nn=$(pkg query -g %n g coq-emacs_* | sed -e 's/-emacs_[a-z_]*//')
  pkg set -n "$on":"$nn"

20260304:
  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
  AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org

  1. With the NetBox 4.5 release Python 3.10 and 3.11 are officially no
     longer supported.  The whole code can still be compiled without any
     problems using Python 3.11, which is the current default version in
     the ports tree.

     Therefore, the minimum version for Python doesn't need to be raised
     for the time being, but this may change at any time as soon as
     backward-incompatible changes to the code lands into upstream for the
     next release.

     Thus, no further action is required at this time. However, it's still
     recommended to switch to Python 3.12 or newer in the near future.

  2. Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.

20260325:
  AFFECTS: Users of net-mgmt/ping_exporter
  AUTHOR: ivy@FreeBSD.org

  The format of ping_exporter's configuration file has changed.
  Refer to https://github.com/czerwonk/ping_exporter/releases/tag/v1.2.0
  for upstream documentation on how to migrate.

20260301:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
  AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org

  The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 17 to 18.
  The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
  currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
  closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
  speedup of the upgrade.

  The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
  complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.

  Upgrade instructions:

  First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
  If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 17, your
  files are named according to this.

  # service postgresql stop
  # pkg create postgresql17-server postgresql17-contrib
  # mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql17-server-17.9.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql17-contrib-17.9.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # pkg delete -f databases/postgresql17-server databases/postgresql17-contrib databases/postgresql17-client

  Now update PostgreSQL:

    pkg user:
    # pkg install databases/postgresql18-server databases/postgresql18-contrib
    # pkg upgrade

    Portmaster users:
    # portmaster databases/postgresql18-server databases/postgresql18-contrib
    # portmaster -a

    Portupgrade users:
    # portinstall databases/postgresql18-server databases/postgresql18-contrib
    # portupgrade -a

  After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
  all your databases to new version:

  # su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C --no-data-checksums -D /var/db/postgres/data18 -U postgres"
  # su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data17/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data18/ -U postgres "

  Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:

  # service postgresql start

  ATTENTION:
  1) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly
  2) The initdb in the upgrade procedure uses '--no-data-checksums' to enable
  pg_upgrade from before this change.  You should review the documentation and
  decide whether you want to then enable checksums with pg_checksums.  Future
  upgrade instructions for PostgreSQL 19 and later will assume a default
  initdb, and therefore that checksums are enabled.

  AFFECTS: users of sysutils/symon
  AUTHOR: jamie@catflap.org

  The old WITHOUT_SYMON and WITHOUT_SYMUX knobs have been replaced with the
  port options SYMON and SYMUX. The legacy "WITHOUT_RRD" knob has been retired.

20260226:
  AFFECTS: users of java/openjdk*
  AUTHOR: ronald@FreeBSD.org

  Version JAVA_DEFAULT is updated from 8 to 21.
  No specific action should be needed, just a heads-up to test before
  deploying to production as this is quite a big step in versions.

20260225:
  AFFECTS: users of net-im/gotosocial
  AUTHOR: tilde@ultros.pro

  net-im/gotosocial has been updated to 0.21.0

  New configuration options have been added and the upgrade involves

  Upgrade procedure:

  1. # service gotosocial stop
  2. Backup database
  3. # pkg upgrade gotosocial
  4. Merge new options from etc/gotosocial/config.yaml.sample

  AFFECTS: users of www/bluefish
  AUTHOR: eduardo@FreeBSD.org

  www/bluefish has been updated to 2.4.0.

  Starting from 2.4 Bluefish will place config files no longer in
  ~/.bluefish. On FreeBSD it will be ~/.config and ~/.local/

  AFFECTS: users of dns/ddclient
  AUTHOR: mjl@luckie.org.nz

  dns/ddclient has been updated to v4.0.0.

  This release moves the default configuration file location from
  /usr/local/etc/ to /usr/local/etc/ddclient/.  Please move your
  existing ddclient.conf to the new location before restarting ddclient.

  See details at https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/releases/tag/v4.0.0

20260115:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/cython* and USE_PYTHON=cython*
  AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org

  lang/cython has been updated to 3.2.4.

  To support ports that still require the legacy 0.x branch, lang/cython0
  has been added (version 0.29.37). lang/cython3 has been removed as it
  is now redundant with lang/cython.

  Port maintainers should note the following changes:
  - Ports requiring Cython 0.x now use USE_PYTHON=cython0{,_run}.
  - Ports previously using cython3{,_run,_test} now use
    USE_PYTHON=cython{,_run,_test}.

20260109:
  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/librenms
  AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org

  mysql-client is no longer a dependency. This allows users to select
  mysql or mariadb at run time. This was not possible before.

20260103:
  AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-{driver, kmod}-devel variants
  AUTHOR: junchoon@dec.sakura.ne.jp

  x11/nvidia-driver-devel and x11/nvidia-kmod-devel are upgraded to
  latest New Feature Branch [NFB] of upstream driver package.

  This version drops support for a bunch of old (pre-Turing generations
  of architecture) GPUs.

  You can find still supported GPUs below.
    https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/FreeBSD-x86_64/590.48.01/README/supportedchips.html

  So anyone using -devel variants of related ports
    x11/nvidia-kmod-devel
    x11/nvidia-driver-devel
    graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod-devel
    x11/linux-nvidia-libs-devel
  with dropped GPUs needs to switch to non-devel master ports.
    x11/nvidia-kmod
    x11/nvidia-driver
    graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod
    x11/linux-nvidia-libs

  Deinstalling -devel variants above and reinstalling master ports
  above would do the right things.

  If any of above hesitates to upgrade with version conflicts
  of graphics/eglexternalplatform, upgrade it first and retrying
  failed ones should help.

  At the same time, 580.* and 590.* series of drivers for FreeBSD
  now work with 2 additional libraries installed via graphics/egl-x11.
  This is now one of the dependencies of x11/nvidia-driver{-devel}.
  It would be automatically pulled in on upgrades.

  Note that new legacy branch -580 would be created once Production
  Branch of upstream driver package switches to 590 series or later.

  AFFECTS: users of net/rsync
  AUTHOR: rodrigo@FreeBSD.org

  Add a new option PYTHON that controls when the Python script
  sbin/rrsync is installed and adds the necessary dependencies.
  By default this option is off; updating the package will remove
  the rrsync script.

20251208:
  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/unifi{9,10}
  AUTHOR: otis@FreeBSD.org

  Version 10 of UniFi controller has been introduced, conflicting with
  version 9.

  Users are strongly advised to make a fresh backup of UniFi controller
  database from within the UI, prior to upgrade to unifi10.

20251201:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/php83
  AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org

  The default version of PHP has been switched from 8.3 to 8.4.

  If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
  before running 'pkg upgrade':

  # pkg info \*php83\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list

  After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
  are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.

  If you use mod_php83 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php84.

20251201:
  AFFECTS: users of sysutils/tmux
  AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org

  tmux must be restarted after upgrading.  This is particularly
  important with version 3.6 because one of the libraries that tmux uses
  has changed its protocol.  If you see the following message when you
  try to attach, it likely means you forgot to restart tmux:

  open terminal failed: not a terminal

20251130:
  AFFECTS: users of www/node{22,24,25}
  AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org

  www/node{22,24,25} now uses databases/sqlite3 instead of the bundled one.
  It requires SESSION option (enabled by default) in databases/sqlite3.
  Please update your option configuration. Otherwise, the build fails.
  See PR 290509 and 290588 for details.

  AFFECTS: users of deskutils/fet
  AUTHOR: uzsolt@FreeBSD.org

  Remove Qt flavors, only use Qt6.

  You should uninstall the flavored package and install the unflavored package.

20251105:
  AFFECTS: users of net/unison
  AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org

  With the update to version 2.53.8 the port uses upstream install target.
  This causes the installed unison binary to always be the command line
  version, even when the port is compiled with xorg support. The UI binary
  is installed as unison-gui.

  The unison.desktop file provided with the port is adjusted to launch the
  new unison-gui binary.

  Please verify any local scripts using the unison binaries are adapted to
  this change.

20251019:
  AFFECTS: users of security/clamav
  AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org

  After security/clamav is updated to 1.5.0, some users report that build
  fails as below.

    /usr/ports/security/clamav/work/clamav-1.5.1/libclamav/others.c:623:23: error: use of undeclared identifier 'CERTSDIR'

    1 warning and 1 error generated.
    ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
    *** Error code 1

  The error seems to happen with following conditions.

  * Non-base SSL stack is used. That is, in /etc/make.conf there is such
    setting as 'DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ssl=openssl'.
  * Previous version (1.4.3) of clamav package is already installed.

  If you face it, you can work around it by uninstalling current clamav
  package first.

  AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
  AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org

  The port has been updated to the latest stable version 4.2 of LibreSSL.
  The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.

  After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
  libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
  versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
  list of dependent software by running the following command:

  # pkg info -r libressl

  Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
  shared library dependencies.

20250930:
  AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver*
  AUTHOR: junchoon@dec.sakura.ne.jp

  Because of splitting out kernel modules (kmod) part from x11/nvidia-driver*
  into newly introduced x11/nvidia-kmod*, you need to deinstall currently
  installed x11/nvidia-driver* and freshly install it again with new version.
  This would pull in corresponding x11/nvidia-kmod* because x11/nvidia-driver*
  explicitly depends on corresponding x11/nvidia-kmod*.

  AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bastille
  AUTHOR: jdhurtado@orbiware.com

  Potentially breaking changes since 1.0.20250714

  Network: Bastille now handles all epairs dynamically, allowing both -V and -B
  VNET jails to coexist. Previous versions only supported one type per system.
  New naming scheme for network interfaces is e0a_jailname (host side) and
  e0b_jailname (jail side). Additional interfaces: e1a_jailname, e1b_jailname, etc
  (incrementing numbers). Long jail names are truncated with xx placeholder due to
  interface name limitations

  Required action after update:
  Restart all jails (preferably one at a time) to trigger automatic conversion.
  Bastille will auto-convert jail.conf and rc.conf files when jails are stopped.
  Manual intervention required: If you previously used the network sub-command to
  add interfaces, manually edit jail.conf and rc.conf files to update epair names
  (increment numbers for additional interfaces).

  Auto-conversion handles most cases, please report bugs if issues occur during the
  transition.

  AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

  The mail/bogofilter-bdb port has expired and will be removed.

  1. BEFORE uninstallation or changing to a different mail/bogofilter*
  variant, please use bogoutil to export all user data bases (wordlist.db)
  to text files, bogoutil has a -d option for that.
  2. ONLY THEN install a different variant. The base port (bogofilter)
  uses LMDB, the -kc variant uses KyotoCabinet and -sqlite uses SQLite3

  AUTHOR: ronald@FreeBSD.org

  The MongoDB dependency updates from 6.0 to 7.0.
  Please read 20250520 about the upgrade instructions of
  databases/mongodb60. Mind that the mongodb portnr for Unifi is 27117.
  The 20240606 instructions for net-mgmt/unifi8 can also be
  informative.

  Always backup/snapshot before upgrading.
  Turn off Unifi and MongoDB during the upgrade. (service unifi stop)

  MongoDB 7.0 does not formally support ARM systems without Large System
  Extensions (LSE) support.
  Please use the unifi9-armv80a package when running on RPI4 or similar
  systems.
  Running the non-armv80a package will result in an "illegal instruction"
  on these systems.

20250520:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/mongodb60
  AUTHOR: ronald@FreeBSD.org

  MongoDB version 6.0 is End of Life starting August 2025.
  Please make sure you are running MongoDB version 7.0 or higher.
  In-place upgrades are supported from version 6.0 to 7.0.
  For an in-place upgrade it is important that the
  'featureCompatibilityVersion' is set to 6.0 before the upgrade.
  See: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/v7.0/release-notes/7.0-upgrade-standalone/#feature-compatibility-version

  TL;DR, run these commands in mongodb60 before upgrading:
  (see `pkg info -D mongodb60` how to install mongosh)
  $ npx mongosh mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/ # or use non-default port

  AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org

  29.x is the last release series that will support the legacy BDB wallet
  format.  We are already doing this awkwardly since the format is BDB 4.8
  and we are building with BDB 5.  This will be removed in 30.0 later this
  year.

  You should upgrade your wallet now if you are still using a legacy wallet.

  Instructions:
  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/29.x/doc/managing-wallets.md#migrating-legacy-wallets-to-descriptor-wallets

  This release switches to CMake which results in a major refactoring of
  the port and underlying build.  The result seems good, but please
  provide feedback if there are any unexpected changes or problems.

  This release dropped UPnP support due to security concerns.  NAT-PMP is
  implemented as an alternative.

20250506:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
  AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org

  The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 16 to 17.
  The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
  currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
  closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
  speedup of the upgrade.

  The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
  complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.

  Upgrade instructions:

  First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
  If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 16, your
  files are named according to this.

  # service postgresql stop
  # pkg create postgresql16-server postgresql16-contrib
  # mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql16-server-16.8.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql16-contrib-16.8.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # pkg delete -f databases/postgresql16-server databases/postgresql16-contrib databases/postgresql16-client

  Now update PostgreSQL:

    pkg user:
    # pkg install databases/postgresql17-server databases/postgresql17-contrib
    # pkg upgrade

    Portmaster users:
    # portmaster databases/postgresql17-server databases/postgresql17-contrib
    # portmaster -a

    Portupgrade users:
    # portinstall databases/postgresql17-server databases/postgresql17-contrib
    # portupgrade -a

  After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
  all your databases to new version:

  # su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data17 -U postgres"
  # su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data16/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data17/ -U postgres "

  Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:

  # service postgresql start

  ATTENTION:
  1) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly

20250503:
  AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bastille
  AUTHOR: jdhurtado@orbiware.com

  The `rcorder` has been deprecated, and new `boot` and `priority` options have
  been added to the jails. A boot file will be created with default values of
  `boot=on` and `priority=99` on jail creation. For existing jails, the boot file
  will be generated on the next subcommand execution to the jail. If you want to
  generate the file for all the jails, you can use `bastille restart ALL` to fill
  in the defaults. To change these values, use `bastille config TARGET set boot off`
  or `bastille config TARGET set priority 10` or some other number according to
  your needs.

  AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org

  The databases/redis port has been updated to 8.0. Users wanting to

  one of the following commands.

  If you use pkg with binary packages:
    # pkg set -o databases/redis:databases/redis74
    # pkg upgrade
  If you use portmaster:
    # portmaster -o databases/redis74 databases/redis
  If you use portupgrade:
    # portupgrade -o databases/redis74 databases/redis

  Keep in mind license term has changed with Redis 8.0. Now it is
  distributed under triple license of Redis Source Available License
  v2 (RSALv2), Server Side Public License v1 (SSPLv1) and GNU Affero
  General Public License v3 (AGPLv3).

20250408:
  AFFECTS: users of linux_base-c7 and any Linux application in Ports
  AUTHOR: arrowd@FreeBSD.org

  LINUX_DEFAULT was switched to "rl9" which corresponds to the Rocky Linux 9 base.
  All architectures except i386 are affected. To stay on the old base add
  DEFAULT_VERSIONS=linux=c7 to your /etc/make.conf

  Note that some older amd64 hardware (pre-Nehalem) might not support the
  instruction set that is targeted by Rocky Linux builders. If you're getting
  SIGILL crashes when running Linux apps consider switching LINUX_DEFAULT back
  to "c7".

20250402:
  AFFECTS: users of devel/glib20 and devel/gobject-introspection building outside of Poudriere
  AUTHOR: arrowd@FreeBSD.org

  New versions of glib started to require gobject-introspection as a build
  dependency, while gobject-introspection requires glib to build. This forms a
  dependency cycle that is dealt with by introducing the @bootstrap flavor for
  mentioned ports. This solution is suggested by the upstream as well, see
  https://discourse.gnome.org/t/dealing-with-glib-and-gobject-introspection-circular-dependency/18701

  When building devel/glib20 in Poudriere no manual intervention is required.
  The devel/glib20@bootstrap gets built first and provides for
  devel/gobject-introspection@bootstrap. This in turn provides for a normal
  devel/glib20 build, which finally fulfills a dependency for normal devel/gobject-introspection

  Users that are building outside of the isolated environments will be ending
  up with useless glib-bootstrap and gobject-introspection-bootstrap packages
  installed after each update. These can be removed with

  pkg remove glib-bootstrap gobject-introspection-bootstrap

  When updating these ports outside of Poudriere, make sure to
  * remove bootstrap packages
  * clean working dirs of bootstrap flavors (make clean FLAVOR=bootstrap) of
    both ports
  * sometimes it is additionally required to run "pkg remove -f glib20" before
    building a new version

  AFFECTS: users of thunderbird
  AUTHOR: cmt@FreeBSD.org

  The mail/thunderbird port switched to Thunderbird's new release train,
  with frequent major releases (ca. 4-weeks-cycle). Users wanting to
  stay with the 128-releases for now and the ESR releases in general
  should switch to the mail/thunderbird-esr port.

20250325:
  AFFECTS: users of TeX*
  AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org

  TeX system has been updated to 2025 from 2024. Normal pkg upgrade or
  portmaster -a should handle all the upgrade properly. In case not please
  create a ticket or send a mail to tex@FreeBSD.org

  Previously users have reported to delete texlive-texmf prior to
  starting update, or pkg-static will indicate there is a conflict
  during the upgrade of texlive-base :

  # pkg remove texlive-texmf

20250321:
  AFFECTS: users of mail/oama
  AUTHOR: nivit@FreeBSD.org

  Starting from version 0.15, when the GPG backend is used the encrypted
  credentials are stored in the $XDG_STATE_HOME/oama directory.
  If the XDG_STATE_HOME environment variable is not set then it defaults to
  $HOME/.local/state.

  That is a breaking change! If you use the GPG backend you need to manually
  move your credential ~/.local/var/oama/*.oama files into the new directory.

20250316:
  AFFECTS: users of graphics/gdk-pixbuf2
  AUTHOR: vishwin@FreeBSD.org

  Loaders for ANI, BMP, ICNS, ICO, PNM, QTIF, TGA, XBM and XPM have
  been moved to a separate graphics/gdk-pixbuf-extra port. Install
  the aforementioned port if artefacts in those formats no longer
  load or otherwise cause errors, and report them so that
  USE_GNOME=gdkpixbufextra can be declared. Most should only need
  USE_GNOME=gdkpixbufextra:run, but for those also needing these
  loaders for build, leave out the :run.

20250315:
  AFFECTS: users of sysutils/snmp_exporter
  AUTHOR: lexi@hemlock.eden.le-fay.org

  BREAKING CHANGE: The new version of sysutils/snmp_exporter (0.28.0)
  introduces several breaking changes.  If you don't want to migrate yet,
  switch to the new port sysutils/snmp_exporter20 which contains the previous
  version (0.20.0).

  1. The exporter uses a new configuration file format for SNMP authentication,
  and configurations from the previous version will no longer work.  This
  applies regardless of whether you use the configuration generator or write
  the configuration by hand.

  For migration instructions, see:
    https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/blob/main/auth-split-migration.md

  2. Breaking changes were made affecting the 'synology', 'ddwrt' and
  'kemp_loadmaster' modules.  For migration instructions, see:
    https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/releases/tag/v0.27.0

  3. The sysUpTime metric has been removed from the if_mib module.  For
  migration instructions, see:
    https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/releases/tag/v0.28.0

  4. (FreeBSD-specific) The port no longer patches the generator to hardcode
  ${PREFIX}/etc in the paths used by snmp_exporter_generator.  If you were
  relying on this behaviour, you should update your scripts to specify the full
  pathname.

  name with other ports and the description from Mk/bsd.options.desc.mk.

20250311:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/mongodb80
  AUTHOR: ronald@FreeBSD.org

  AFFECTS: users of comms/ser2net
  AUTHOR: rodrigo@FreeBSD.org

  ser2net 4.6.4 doesn't support 3.5.1 configuration which has to be
  converted over to use new YAML syntax.

  Please see the examples on ser2net.yaml sample configuration and
  read the ser2net.yaml manpage on how to configure the new version.
  Additional links and resources have been provided on the pkg-message.

  AFFECTS: users of databases/mongodb70
  AUTHOR: ronald@FreeBSD.org

  MongoDB on non-LSE ARM CPUs like Raspberry Pi 4 works but is
  unsupported upstream and can give corruption on high concurrency.
  Please read https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-71772 for details.

  Port mongodb70 is flavored to create two packages:
    mongodb70 and mongodb70-armv80a

  Please install mongodb70-armv80a on RPI4 or similar ARM systems as pkg
  mongodb70 will fail on runtime with unsupported instruction error.

  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
  AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org

  1. Please make sure that the PostgreSQL server for the NetBox instance is
     running version 13 or higher.  This is because PostgreSQL 12 reached
     its End of Life (EOL) on November 14, 2024 and was also removed from
     the ports tree at the beginning of 2025.

  2. Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.

  AFFECTS: users of x11/kde5 and x11/kde6
  AUTHOR: arrowd@FreeBSD.org

  All KDE ports were fully switched to Qt6/KF6. Plasma 5 ports were removed.
  KDE Applications were updated to 24.12.

  If you installed KDE via kde5 or kde6 packages, the upgrade path is

  # pkg remove -f kde[56] && pkg install kde

  If you installed KDE via the plasma5-plasma metapackage, the upgrade path is

  # pkg remove -f plasma5-plasma && pkg install plasma6-plasma

  Running "pkg autoremove" after the upgrade would clean unused dependencies.

  For the uncommon cases of building on the host with synth, portmaster, etc.
  the idea stays roughly the same - replace every plasma5 package with its
  plasma6 counterpart.

  AFFECTS: users of security/easy-rsa
  AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

  easy-rsa (easyrsa) versions between 3.0.5 and 3.1.7 inclusively
  may have chosen the wrong, a weak, cipher (des-ede3-cbc) when
  encrypting the CA private keys with the build-ca command, when
  running on a system where openssl was OpenSSL 3.

  Such CA private keys should be re-encrypted with a stronger cipher
  in order to protect them better, after upgrading EasyRSA to 3.2.1.
  To that end, the   easyrsa set-pass ca    command can be used.

  AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org

  Apache 2.4.63 removed the (experimental, non-default) mod_tls module due
  to rustls-ffi API instability and it was moved to a standalone module.

  Users of the TLS option can use the new www/mod_tls port as a replacement.

  The version 2.5.x introduces significant changes regarding how the
  integrity and validation of your data is determined and is not backwards
  compatible with v2.4.x.
  OneDrive Business Shared Folder Sync has been 100% re-written in v2.5.0.
  If you are using this feature, please read the new documentation
  carefully.
  The application function --download-only no longer automatically deletes

20250109:
  AFFECTS: users of www/kiwix-tools and devel/libkiwix
  AUTHOR: olce@FreeBSD.org

  Upstream released a new version (14.0.0) of kiwix-tools' dependency libkiwix
  that the latest release of kiwix-tools (unchanged at 3.7.0) does not
  support, and the devel/libkiwix port was updated to it by mistake.

  In order to fix the situation without reverting devel/libkiwix to 13.1.0 and
  bumping its PORTEPOCH, the new port devel/libkiwix13 has been created and
  www/kiwix-tools has been updated to depend on it rather than devel/libkiwix.
  This is expected to be temporary.

  As devel/libkiwix13 and devel/libkiwix conflict with each other, which
  apparently can confuse pkg (which proposes to delete www/kiwix-tools), users
  having www/kiwix-tools installed are advised to upgrade it first separately,
  e.g., by running:

  # pkg upgrade www/kiwix-tools

20241230:
  AFFECTS: users of net/xrdp-devel
  AUTHOR: meta@FreeBSD.org

  The port has been updated to the latest development snapshot.

  The directory for the config files has also changed from
  PREFIX/etc/xrdp to PREFIX/etc/xrdp-devel to prevent incompatible config
  files for net/xrdp and net/xrdp-devel from getting mixed up.

  When updating net/xrdp-devel from old versions, move the config files to
  the new directory.

20241224:
  AFFECTS: users of net/xrdp
  AUTHOR: meta@FreeBSD.org

  xrdp supports H.264 encoding in graphics remoting since v0.10.2.
  It reduces the amount of data transmitted over the network and provides
  a much smoother and more responsive experience compared to previous
  versions. When updating from older v0.10.x versions to v0.10.2, make
  sure to merge the new xrdp.ini with the old one because xrdp.ini has
  some new configuration parameters for H.264. See 20240704 if updating
  from v0.9.x.

  Furthermore, xrdp v0.10.2 supports running the xrdp daemon as an
  unprivileged user. See the xrdp.ini(5) man page for configuring xrdp to
  run as an unprivileged user. You can also check if xrdp is properly
  configured to run as an unprivileged user using the script located at:

  AUTHOR: dch@FreeBSD.org

  Users who installed or upgraded to CouchDB 3.3.3 *after* 2024-09-30, and
  who are also running 14.1-RELEASE or newer, will hit a nasty corruption bug,
  causing all CPUs to lock up, possibly crashing, and generating a lot of
  errors in log files.

  This bug is caused by corrupt docs after decompression, due to a clash
  between improved compiler optimisations in clang18, and a bug in snappy
  itself. Given the above symptoms, all affected users will have noticed.

  Upgrade to 3.4.2 in ports, to resolve this issue.

  AFFECTS: users of databases/prometheus-postgres-exporter
  AUTHOR: lexi@hemlock.eden.le-fay.org

  BREAKING CHANGE: In postgres_exporter 0.16.0 and later, the log message format
  has changed.  From the upstream release notes:

  The logging system has been replaced with log/slog from the stdlib.  This
  change is being made across the prometheus ecosystem.  The logging output has
  changed, but the messages and levels remain the same.  The ts label for the
  timestamp has been replaced with time, the accuracy is less, and the timezone
  is not forced to UTC.  The caller field has been replaced by the source field,
  which now includes the full path to the source file. The level field now
  exposes the log level in capital letters.

20241110
  AFFECTS: users of devel/apr1 and www/apache24
  AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org

  The default BerkeleyDB provider for apr-util was changed from BerkeleyDB
  5 (deprecated) to BerkeleyDB 1 from base libc. The change of version
  results in a non-compatible database format.

  After upgrading, you must rebuild all BerkeleyDB databases used by
  apr-util (example: Apache databases created with `httxt2dbm -F db`

20241109:
  AFFECTS: all users of i386
  AUTHOR: asomers@FreeBSD.org

  On i386 the lang/rust port has been updated to require SSE2 by default.  Not
  only does the compiler itself require SSE2, but it unconditionally generates
  code that requires it, too.  Over 500 ports include Rust code (www/firefox,
  security/py-cryptography, etc).  Official binary packages of all of those
  ports will no longer work on Pentium III and older hardware.  PIII users must
  now build their own lang/rust packages, clearing the SSE2 option, and rebuild
  any dependent ports.

20241104:
  AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail
  AUTHOR: chalpin@cs.wisc.edu

  OPIE and RPA have been made optional because both have significant security
  problems. OPIE support was not provided by the port on 14.x until the update
  to 6.5.0, when it was briefly re-activated. Because of its security flaws, it
  has now been disabled by default on both 13.x and 14.x.

  RPA is currently enabled by default, but this will change in a future update.

20241019:
  AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
  AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org

  The port has been updated to the latest stable version 4.0 of LibreSSL.
  The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.

  After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
  libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
  versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
  list of dependent software by running the following command:

  # pkg info -r libressl

  Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
  shared library dependencies.

20240829:
  AFFECTS: devel/binutils
  AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org

  Historically devel/binutils would implicitly use devel/elfutils when
  it discovers it previously installed. This resulted in it depending on,
  though not explicitly if previously found, elfutils when built manually.
  This behavior has now changed. binutils will now disable any
  auto-dependency on elfutils. Users who build binutils manually and wish
  to have it depend on elfutils must now explicitly set the option when
  building binutils.

  There is no change to packages built by poudriere.

20240824:
  AFFECTS: dns/acme-dns
  AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org

  The start script of acme-dns has been renamed to acme_dns for improved

  boot (rc.conf variable settings) is not affected, but if you have some
  other automatism you may want to change
  ".../etc/rc.d/acme-dns" to ".../etc/rc.d/acme_dns"

20240816:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/redis
  AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org

  The databases/redis port has been updated to 7.4. Users wanting to
  stay on 7.2 can replace databases/redis with databases/redis72 with
  one of the following commands.

  If you use pkg with binary packages:
    # pkg set -o databases/redis:databases/redis72
    # pkg upgrade
  If you use portmaster:
    # portmaster -o databases/redis72 databases/redis
  If you use portupgrade:
    # portupgrade -o databases/redis72 databases/redis

  Keep in mind license term has changed with Redis 7.4. Now it is
  distributed under dual license of Redis Source Available License v2
  (RSALv2) and Server Side Public License v1 (SSPLv1). If you don't
  want to accept either of them, then Valkey (databases/valkey) may be
  alternative for you. It is fork of Redis 7.2 and distributed under
  3-clause BSD license that is same as Redis 7.2 and before.

20240815:
  AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion-lts and devel/subversion
  AUTHOR: michaelo@FreeBSD.org

  The port option STATIC has been broken since 2022-01 because textproc/utf8proc

  automatism you may want to change
    ".../etc/rc.d/php-fpm" to ".../etc/rc.d/php_fpm"
  or
    "service php-fpm ..." to "service php_fpm ..."

  If you have custom start scripts which depend upon php-fpm, you need to
  change the REQUIRE lines in them from "php-fpm" to "php_fpm".

20240726:

  AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

  Borgbackup has been upgraded to version 1.4.0.
  The FreeBSD port as of 2024-07-26 reinstates FreeBSD 13 compatibility.

  For users who wish to continue using version 1.2,
  use either of these commands for upgrading:

  With binary packages through pkg:
    pkg set -o archivers/py-borgbackup:archivers/py-borgbackup12
    pkg upgrade

  With portmaster or portupgrade (replace the command accordingly):
    portmaster -o archivers/py-borgbackup12 archivers/py-borgbackup

20240723:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
  AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org

  The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 15 to 16.
  The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
  currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
  closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
  speedup of the upgrade.

  The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
  complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.

  Upgrade instructions:

  First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
  If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 15, your
  files are named according to this.

  # service postgresql stop
  # pkg create postgresql15-server postgresql15-contrib
  # mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql15-server-15.7.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql15-contrib-15.7.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # pkg delete -f databases/postgresql15-server databases/postgresql15-contrib databases/postgresql15-client

  Now update PostgreSQL:

    pkg user:
    # pkg install databases/postgresql16-server databases/postgresql16-contrib
    # pkg upgrade

    Portmaster users:
    # portmaster databases/postgresql16-server databases/postgresql16-contrib
    # portmaster -a

    Portupgrade users:
    # portinstall databases/postgresql16-server databases/postgresql16-contrib
    # portupgrade -a

  After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
  all your databases to new version:

  # su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data16 -U postgres"
  # su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data15/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data16/ -U postgres "

  Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:

  # service postgresql start

  ATTENTION:
  1) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly

  bacula_sd for improved compatibility with other parts of the
  system. The automatic start at boot (rc.conf variable settings) is
  not affected, but if you have some other automatism you may want to
  change
    ".../etc/rc.d/bacula-fd"  to ".../etc/rc.d/bacula_fd"
    ".../etc/rc.d/bacula-dir" to ".../etc/rc.d/bacula_dir"
    ".../etc/rc.d/bacula-sd"  to ".../etc/rc.d/bacula_sd"

  AFFECTS: net/xrdp and x11-drivers/xorgxrdp
  AUTHOR: meta@FreeBSD.org

  xrdp has been updated to the releases of the latest stable branch v0.10.
  This version significantly improves performance improvement especially if the
  client is Windows 11. There are two things to be careful about when updating.

  1) Make sure to update both net/xrdp and x11-drivers/xorgxrdp ports
     simultaneously.
  2) Config files require manual migration (follow the steps below).

  Review and backup changes you made to xrdp.ini and sesman.ini before updating
  xrdp. The following example only mentions xrdp.ini however make sure to do the
  same review, backup and migration for sesman.ini as well.

  Before updating xrdp, review and backup your changes.

  # cd /usr/local/etc/xrdp
  # diff -u xrdp.ini.sample xrdp.ini > xrdp.ini.diff

  After updating xrdp, migrate your changes to new configuration files.
  xrdp.ini.sample is replaced with new version at this point. See diff and
  manually apply changes.

  # cp xrdp.ini.sample xrdp.ini
  # vi xrdp.ini

  AFFECTS: net-mgmt/net-snmp
  AUTHOR: markj@FreeBSD.org

  The snmpd and snmptrapd daemons now drop privileges by default when started
  using the rc scripts provided in the package.  Make sure that snmpd
  configuration in /usr/local/share/snmp is readable by the "snmpd" user.  If
  you have defined extension scripts in snmpd.conf, make sure that they can be
  executed by an unprivileged user.  To revert to the old behavior of always
  running as root, set snmpd_sugid="NO" or snmptrapd_sugid="NO" in /etc/rc.conf.

  See the snmpd rc script for a hint on how to debug any permission problems
  that might arise as a result of this change.

  AFFECTS: mail/cyrus-imapd25
  AUTHOR: ume@FreeBSD.org

  The BDB option is disabled by default.

  If you are using the berkeley cyrusdb backend, we strongly recommend
  that you switch to something other than the berkeley cyrusdb
  backend.  If you want to continue using the berkeley cyrusdb
  backend, build the cyrus-imapd25 port yourself with the BDB option
  enabled.

  AFFECTS: multimedia/audacious and multimedia/audacious-plugins
  AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org

  Upstream project made qt6 the new default, so the port flavors have
  been updated to follow this change.

  If you are using the qt6 flavor, you should uninstall it and install
  the unflavored package. If you want to keep using the qt5 version it
  will be updated automatically to the qt6 version. You should
  uninstall the unflavored package and install the qt5 flavor.

  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/unifi8
  AUTHOR: ronald@FreeBSD.org

  The default MongoDB version dependency has been switched from 5.0 to 6.0.
  Although MongoDB 5.0 -> MongoDB 6.0 datafiles in-place upgrade seem to
  work, users are strongly recommended to take full backup of unifi
  database prior to upgrade and start with clean installation afterwards.

  For an in-place upgrade it is important that the MongoDB
  'featureCompatibilityVersion' is set to 5.0.
  See: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/v6.0/release-notes/6.0-upgrade-standalone/#feature-compatibility-version
  Run these commands in mongodb50 before upgrading (e.g. while unifi is running):
  $ mongo --port 27117
  > db.adminCommand( { setFeatureCompatibilityVersion: "5.0" } )
  > exit

  See updating entry 20230310 for a backup/restore upgrade.

20240604:
  AFFECTS: net-mgmt/net-snmp
  AUTHOR: markj@FreeBSD.org

  The net-snmp port's newsyslog(8) configuration has been updated such
  that the snmpd log file will be owned by the snmpd user following log
  rotation.  This is done to make it easier to run snmpd as the snmpd
  user rather than as root, using the snmpd_sugid rc.conf option.
  For now snmpd still runs as root by default.  This is expected to change
  in the future.

  AFFECTS: users of TeX*
  AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org

  TeX system has been updated to 2024 from 2023. Normal pkg upgrade or
  portmaster -a should handle all the upgrade properly. In case not please
  create a ticket or send a mail to tex@FreeBSD.org

  Previously users have reported to delete texlive-texmf prior to
  starting update, or pkg-static will indicate there is a conflict
  during the upgrade of texlive-base :

  # pkg remove texlive-texmf

20240529:
  AFFECTS: users of python
  AUTHOR: rm@FreeBSD.org

  The default version of python3 and python was switched to 3.11.

  For ports users wanting to keep version 3.9 as default,
  add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.9 python3=3.9 to make.conf

  Following procedures may ease the upgrade:

  For users of pre-build packages:
  # sh
  # for i in $(pkg query -g %n 'py39-*'); do pkg set -yn ${i}:py311-${i#py39-}; done
  # pkg upgrade

  For portmaster users:
  # sh
  # portmaster -o lang/python311 python39
  # REINSTALL="$(pkg info -oq '*py39*')"
  # pkg delete -f "*py39*"
  # portmaster $REINSTALL
  # REBUILD=$(pkg query -g "%n:%dn" '*' | grep py3 | grep -v py311 | cut -d : -f 1 | sort -u)
  # portmaster $REBUILD
  # REBUILD2=$(pkg list | grep python-39 | xargs pkg which | awk '{print $6}' | sort -u)
  # portmaster $REBUILD2

  Final steps (for pre-built packages & portmaster):

  If no longer required, Python 3.9 can be removed via
  "pkg remove python39" and the directory /usr/local/lib/python3.9 can
  then be deleted afterwards, if not empty.

  AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org

  The port has been updated to the latest stable version 3.9 of LibreSSL.
  The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.

  After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
  libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
  versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
  list of dependent software by running the following command:

  # pkg info -r libressl

  Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
  shared library dependencies.

  The start script is converted to be instance aware.  To use it:
   - cp /usr/local/etc/oauth2-proxy.cfg.sample /usr/local/etc/oauth2-proxy-myapp.cfg
   - vi /usr/local/etc/oauth2-proxy-myapp.cfg
   - ln -s oauth2_proxy /usr/local/etc/rc.d/oauth2_proxy_myapp
   - sysctl oauth2_proxy_myapp_enable=YES
   - service oauth2_proxy_myapp start
  This allows to easily start multiple instances on the same system.

  As part of this, the start script was renamed to oauth2_proxy. This only
  affects manual restarts, no change in rc.conf is needed.

  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/nfdump

  nfdump-1.7.x is compatible to nfdump-1.6.18, which means it can
  read files created with nfdump-1.6.18 or newer. Flow files created
  with earlier nfdump versions may not contain all flow elements.
  If you have older files, it is recommended to use nfdump-1.6.17
  to update the records.

  nfdump 1.7.x provides the same set of programs as 1.6.x and can
  be used almost as a drop-in replacement. This may change in future
  and older legacy programs may be removed. You can convert any old
  files from nfdump-1.6 to nfdump-1.7 format by reading/writing
  files: ./nfdump -r old-flowfile -y -w new-flowfile

  Please note, that only nfdump may read older flow files. All other

  AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org

  The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.36.  If you are using

  upgrade will do the right thing. For the other people, assuming you are
  migrating from 5.34 to 5.36, do:

  First, add to /etc/make.conf:

  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=  perl5=5.36

  Portupgrade users:
	portupgrade -o lang/perl5.36 -f lang/perl5.34

	  You can now remove the DEFAULT_VERSIONS line added earlier
	  from /etc/make.conf

	  Then you will need to rebuild everything that uses libperl.so, you
	  can do so with:

	portupgrade -f `pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.34`

	  If, for some reason, this command fails at one point, it is safe to
	  run it again, it will not rebuild what it already rebuilt, as the
	  ports that have been rebuilt no longer depend on libperl.so.5.34 but
	  on libperl.so.5.36.

  Portmaster users:
	portmaster -o lang/perl5.36 lang/perl5.34

	  You can now remove the DEFAULT_VERSIONS line added earlier
	  from /etc/make.conf

	  Then you will need to rebuild everything that uses libperl.so, you

  The shared library version of OpenSSL has been bumped.

  Users of DEFAULT_VERSIONS= ssl=openssl30 must update this to
  ssl=openssl.
  Users of DEFAULT_VERSIONS= ssl=openssl should not change this unless
  they use ports that require the deprecated OpenSSL 1.1.1 version.

  You must rebuild all ports that depend on OpenSSL if you use OpenSSL
  from ports.

  AFFECTS: users of www/caddy
  AUTHOR:  adamw@FreeBSD.org

  The default admin endpoint has changed from localhost:2019 to
  /var/run/caddy/caddy.sock. Using a Unix socket is more secure,
  allowing it to be secured by filesystem permissions rather than
  requiring a firewall.

  If you only control caddy from the rc(8) script (service caddy ...),
  you don't need to do anything. If you access the API yourself, you
  will want to update your scripts to use the new socket.

  Due to this the default icon theme has been changed to
  x11-themes/xfce-icons-elementary.

  Users that have XFCE already installed and are using the adwaita
  icon theme will notice missing icons. To fix this you can install

  The 4.0 port haphazardly consolidated prior slave ports into flavors of a single port.
  The flavors have now been revised to better match releases prior to 4.0.
  The -full flavor included in the 4.0 port has been replaced with -default, which
  restores the compile-time options of prior release's metaport. Other flavors allow
  for more piecemeal installs. The prior -web slave port can be installed through the

  AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
  AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org

  The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 13 to 15.
  The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
  currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
  closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
  speedup of the upgrade.

  The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
  complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.

  Upgrade instructions:

  First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
  If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 13, your
  files are named according to this.

  # service postgresql stop
  # pkg create postgresql13-server postgresql13-contrib
  # mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql13-server-13.12.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql13-contrib-13.12.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # pkg delete -f databases/postgresql13-server databases/postgresql13-contrib databases/postgresql13-client

  Now update PostgreSQL:

    pkg user:
    # pkg install databases/postgresql15-server databases/postgresql15-contrib
    # pkg upgrade

    Portmaster users:
    # portmaster databases/postgresql15-server databases/postgresql15-contrib
    # portmaster -a

    Portupgrade users:
    # portinstall databases/postgresql15-server databases/postgresql15-contrib
    # portupgrade -a

  After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
  all your databases to new version:

  # su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data15 -U postgres"
  # su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data13/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data15/ -U postgres "

  Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:

  # service postgresql start

  ATTENTION:
  1) The default user changed from "pgsql" to "postgres" in 11. The migration steps above now assume
     the "postgres" database user and FreeBSD user.
  2) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly

  AFFECTS: users of sysutils/devcpu-data*

  The CPU microcode ports have been reorganized.  The new ports are:
  sysutils/cpu-microcode, sysutils/cpu-microcode-amd,
  sysutils/cpu-microcode-intel, and cpu-microcode-rc.

  To install all CPU microcode packages:

     pkg install cpu-microcode

  To install only packages for a specific CPU vendor:

     pkg install cpu-microcode-amd

     or

     pkg install cpu-microcode-intel

  To give users time to adjust to these changes, sysutils/devcpu-data will
  remain in the tree until the end of 2023.  The port has been converted to a
  metaport and now provides the same functionality as sysutils/cpu-microcode.

  Refer to the commit log in bc7829212d153aeff69b439d08e2e3001ef88ba3 for an
  explanation as to why these changes were made.

  openhab run (for the default settings)
    chown -R openhab:openhab /var/db/openhab/userdata /var/log/openhab
  If you use other directories for the userdata and logs, you need to

  AFFECTS: users of security/zeek

  Zeek has been upgraded to 6.0.0 and the NETMAP option was removed;
  it was too difficult to build it without zeek being installed in
  %%PREFIX%%.

  The consensus was that this was a rarely used feature, please
  reach out to me if need this (I've done some work on a new
  security/zeek-netmap port that is probably the right way forward).

  When I upgraded zeek on my systems I found some cruft left over
  from previous versions. The way I recommend upgrading from 5.0.9 to
  6.0.0 is:

      service zeek stop
      pkg delete -fy zeek py311-zkg
      [clean up leftover files in /usr/local/lib/zeek]
      pkg install -y zeek
      service zeek deploy

    # pkg set -o databases/redis:databases/redis70
    # pkg upgrade
  If you use portmaster:
    # portmaster -o databases/redis70 databases/redis

  Modern py-cryptography uses rust. In order to still support the Tier-2
  architectures without rust support, a new default-version was added:
     PYCRYPTOGRAPHY
  it allows for the values 'rust' and 'legacy'.
  The default is 'rust' on all platforms supporting this.

  Per upstream, FFI is deprecated in favour of point solutions.

20230602:
  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
  AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org

  1. If the plugin security/py-netbox-secretstore is used, which is no
     longer maintained by upstream, the following steps must be done before
     upgrading to NetBox 3.5:

     * Migrate from security/py-netbox-secretstore (= 1.4.2_2) to
       security/py-netbox-secrets (= 1.7.6) with a NetBox 3.4.x instance.

       It is very important that the versions of py-netbox-secretstore and
       py-netbox-secrets match as specified otherwise the migration will not
       be successful.

       The reason for this is that py-netbox-secrets 1.8.x is not backwards
       compatible with Netbox 3.4.  For further details please see the
       updating instructions of py-netbox-secretstore or the UPDATING entry
       of 2023-05-11.

  2. Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.

20230513:
  AFFECTS: users of www/tt-rss
  AUTHOR: dereks@lifeofadishwasher.com

  www/tt-rss now expects the user to install the database drivers by hand
  allowing the port to be database independent however it would be best if you
  mark the php driver packages as a non-automatic package such that
  pkg-autoremove doesn't uninstall them.

  Change 80 to your corresponding php version (80, 81, 82)

  mysql: pkg set -yA 0 php80-mysqli php80-pdo_mysql;
  pgsql: pkg set -yA 0 php80-pgsql php80-pdo_pgsql;

20230511:
  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/py-netbox-secretstore
  AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org

  Upstream no longer maintains py-netbox-secretstore which it is not
  compatible with NetBox 3.5 or newer.  To ensure compatibility with newer
  releases of NetBox, the py-netbox-secrets plugin should be used instead.

  To migrate from security/py-netbox-secretstore to
  security/py-netbox-secrets please do following steps:

   1. Make a backup.

   2. Install security/py-netbox-secrets

   3. Enable both plugins by updating the following line in the netbox
      configuration (e.g. /usr/local/share/netbox/netbox/configuration.py):

      PLUGINS = ['netbox_secretstore', 'netbox_secrets']

   4. Run NetBox migrations:

      # cd /usr/local/share/netbox
      # python3.9 manage.py migrate

   5. Re-adjust the indices for the netbox-secrets plugin:

      # python3.9 manage.py sqlsequencereset netbox_secrets > output.sql

   6. Run the output of the previous command in the database, e.g.:

      # psql -d NETBOXDB < output.sql

   7. You can now remove netbox-secretstore from the application by removing
      it from the PLUGINS line in the netbox configuration:

      PLUGINS = ['netbox_secrets']

   8. Collect static files of the netbox-secrets plugin:

      # python3.9 manage.py collectstatic --no-input

   9. Restart WSGI/httpd environment (supervisord/apache/nginx/etc.).

  10. You may have clean up your database of the old tables manually, e.g.:

      DROP TABLE netbox_secretstore_secret;
      DROP TABLE netbox_secretstore_secretrole;
      DROP TABLE netbox_secretstore_sessionkey;
      DROP TABLE netbox_secretstore_userkey;

  11. Uninstall security/py-netbox-secretstore.

  AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
  AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org

  The port has been updated to the latest stable version 3.6 of LibreSSL.
  The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.

  After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
  libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
  versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
  list of dependent software by running the following command:

  # pkg info -r libressl

  Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
  shared library dependencies.

20230315:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby30
  AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org

  The default ruby version has been updated from 3.0 to 3.1.

  #
  # Keep ruby 3.0 as default version
  #
  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=3.0

  If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
  software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
  upon how you manage your system.

  If you use pkg, simply upgrade:
  # pkg upgrade

  AUTHOR: otis@FreeBSD.org

  The mongodb dependency has been changed from 36 to 44, as MongoDB 3.6
  is long out out support and end of life.

  The upgrade path should be as following:

  1. Take a backup from within the unifi7 application PRIOR to
     updating!

  2. Stop the unifi7 service (if running)

  3. Copy the "backup" directory from LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/data
     to a safe location. Also copy keystore and system.properties if
     you have made any modifications to those files

  4. Remove files and directories under LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/data

  5. Upgrade the package

  6. Copy the "backup" directory from a safe location back to
     LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/data

  7. Start the service

  8. Restore the configuration from backup

  As an optional step, review system.properties and keystore to merge any
  manual modifications you have made (this has to be done with the application
  stopped)

  AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org

  The current USES=nodejs has the following issues:
  - www/node is not the default version while www/node16 is.
  - It also means inconsistent naming of node ports.
  - www/npm duplicates with www/npm-node16.
  - www/yarn duplicates with www/yarn-node16.

  The notable changes are introduced to fix the above issues:
  - Rewrite Mk/Uses/nodejs.mk.
  - Add new LTS version of nodejs (www/node18).
  - Add new current version of nodejs (www/node19).
  - Change default nodejs version from 16 to 18 (latest LTS),
  - Use consistent naming for all supported node versions.
  - Convert www/node, www/npm and www/yarn to meta ports.

  After these changes:
  - All supported node versions are named as node{14,16,18,19}.
  - www/node is a meta port which depends on the default version
    (e.g. www/node18)
  - www/npm is a meta port which depends on the default version
    (e.g. www/npm-node18)

  Many users report that after updating ClamAV to 1.0.0 clamd and
  freshclam fails to start with integrity check error of
  databases. According to the result of investigation it happens with
  following conditions.

  1. ClamAV is built on non-cleanroom environment (that is, neither
     FreeBSD official ClamAV package is used nor the package is built
     by user with poudriere).
  2. math/tomsfastmath is installed in the system that ClamAV is
     built.

  So if the errror happens on you system, uninstall TomsFastMath first
  and then rebuild and reinstall ClamAV. The problem should disappear.

  AFFECTS: devel/py-proxmoxer
  AUTHOR: einar@isnic.is

  AuthenticationError Moved

  proxmoxer.backends.https.AuthenticationError was moved to
  proxmoxer.AuthenticationError (the class itself is the same).
  Any imports or references to proxmoxer.backends.https.AuthenticationError
  should be changed to proxmoxer.AuthenticationError.

  ProxmoxResourceBase Removed

  While this should be a fully internal change, the ProxmoxResourceBase
  class was removed. Use ProxmoxResource instead.

  Removed ProxmoxHTTPTicketAuth

  The auth_token and csrf_token arguments are no longer supported. If an
  existing (still valid) token needs to be used, you can pass the token
  as password and proxmoxer will attempt to renew the ticket and retrieve
  a new token and CSRF token.

20221126:
  AFFECTS: textproc/kibana8
  AUTHOR: otis@FreeBSD.org

  kibana8 now installs kibana-specific utilities into LOCALBASE/bin as symbolic
  links.

  Please check whether it will overwrite your local files with names same as
  these utilities and if so, please rename them or move out of the way in a
  different manner.

20221126:
  AFFECTS: textproc/elasticsearch8
  AUTHOR: otis@FreeBSD.org

  elasticsearch8 now installs elasticsearch-specific utilities into
  LOCALBASE/bin as symbolic links (i.e. elasticsearch-cli and similar).

  Please check whether it will overwrite your local files with names same
  as these utilities and if so, please rename them or move out of the way
  in a different manner.

20221126:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/php80
  AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org

  The default version of PHP has been switched from 8.0 to 8.1.

  If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
  before running 'pkg upgrade':

  # pkg info \*php80\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list

  After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
  are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.

  If you use mod_php80 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php81.

20221123:
  AFFECTS: x11-wm/jwm
  AUTHOR: fernape@FreeBSD.org

  jwm 2.4 introduces changes in the configuration.  To convert an existing v2.3
  configuration file using xsltproc, run:

  cp ~/.jwmrc ~/.jwmrc.old
  xsltproc jwm-2.4.xslt ~/.jwmrc.old > ~/.jwmrc

  If you have multiple configuration files, it may be necessary to apply the
  XSLT to some or all of them depending on what configuration options are stored
  in the file.

20221017:
  AFFECTS: archivers/star
  AUTHOR: fernape@FreeBSD.org

  With the update of devel/schilybase to 2022-10-16 a new port archivers/tartest
  has been splitted off from archivers/star.

20221016:
  AFFECTS: textproc/apache-solr
  AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org

  Apache solr version 9 is released and made available as extra port
  textproc/apache-solr9.
  Version 9 cannot start directly with data from version 8. Additional steps
  for data migration is required.
  If you like to use the new version, deinstall the old version and install
  the new version:
  # pkg delete apache-solr
  # pkg install apache-solr9
  After this you need to migrate data and migration, for this check the solr
  documentation.

20221015:
  AFFECTS: users of gstreamer1-* when upgrading via port builds on the host
  AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org

  The update of the gstreamer1-* ports to 1.20.3 requires a clean install of
  gstreamer1-* ports. In particular, when trying to update ports in-place using
  portupgrade or portmaster, the builds are likely to fail due to dependency
  mismatches. If this is your preferred update path, you need to deinstall
  (pkg delete -f) gstreamer1 and the plugins before reinstalling them from
  the ports tree.
  Note that pkg upgrade will do the right thing: If you use official FreeBSD
  packages or build your own set of packages using poudriere, nothing special
  is needed.

20221012:
  AFFECTS: devel/websvn
  AUTHOR: michael.osipov@siemens.com

  WebSVN 2.8.0 includes full PHP 8.x support which requires a change from PEAR
  to Composer 2. You must manually install dependencies through it, the ports
  system will not handle it anymore for you since */horde* (PR 266552) has been
  marked as incompatible with PHP 8.x for the time being. See pkg-message for
  detailed instructions.

20221011:
  AFFECTS: users of security/acme.sh
  AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org

  This update may break your install if you were using a symlink to
  %%EXAMPLESDIR%%/acme.sh.conf - that file is no longer installed. Instead,
  a log rotation configuration is now installed to etc/cron.d/acme.sh.sample
  you should modify etc/cron.d/acme.sh to needs.

  The port now installs a log rotation file to etc/newsyslog.d/acme.sh.sample
  and you you should update etc/newsyslog.d/acme.sh to suit your needs.
  This file has long been part of the port, but was never installed.

  Neither the log rotation nor the crontab are active until you remove the
  comments.

20221002:
  AFFECTS: users of shells/bash
  AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org

  Bash has been updated to version 5.2. In previous versions, the default port
  option-set used to link against libreadline from ports. However, the current
  version of devel/readline is too old for bash 5.2.

  For now, the default option has been switched to use the bundled version of
  libreadline and the other option is marked broken. Once devel/readline is
  updated this can be reverted.

  If you're updating bash from source and you've previously explicitly set to
  use use PORTS_READLINE, you'll have to disable the PORTS_READLINE option
  before updating:

  # cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
  # make config

   or flush it entirely:

  # cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
  # make rmconfig

  AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
  AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org

  The port has been updated to the latest stable version 3.5 of LibreSSL.
  The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.

  After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
  libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
  versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
  list of dependent software by running the following command:

  # pkg info -r libressl

  Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
  shared library dependencies.

20220919:
  AFFECTS: users of audio/strawberry
  AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

  strawberry now uses FLAVORs based on the qt version, offering -qt5 and

  AFFECTS: users of devel/cmake
  AUTHOR: diizzy@FreeBSD.org

  CMake has been converted to a meta-port and new CMake packages created causes
  conflicts with old binary packages prior to this change.

  If CMake was installed using binary packages via pkg it needs to be
  uninstalled using pkg delete before installing CMake and related packages
  after this change.

    pkg delete cmake
    pkg install cmake-core

  If you're using portmaster you also need to delete the old CMake package
  before upgrading.

20220903:
  AFFECTS: users of editors/vim
  AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org

  The Vim port no longer installs a system-wide vimrc. It drastically affected
  config loading order, and led to various settings being clobbered, duplicated,
  or ignored.

  Vim's provided defaults.vim (/usr/local/share/vim/vim90/defaults.vim) continues
  to be read just as before, but its settings are no longer clobbered. Take a look
  in there for any settings you may want to change, and do ':h initialization' to
  see where Vim looks for config files.

  AFFECTS: users of security/stunnel
  AUTHOR: zi@FreeBSD.org

  The stunnel port has been updated to drop privileges to the stunnel
  user by default.

  As a result of this change, the pid file location has changed.  If
  you have a running copy of stunnel, you should stop the process

  AFFECTS: users of Erlang and Elixir
  AUTHOR: dch@FreeBSD.org

  For more than a decade, the Elixir Mix tool and the Erlang rebar
  or erlang.mk build tools have been the de facto way of installing
  and managing packages for specific applications.

  All main-stream applications, from Riak, CouchDB, RabbitMQ, Phoenix,
  and Elixir, expect that packages are fetched and compiled into an OTP
  Release, with in-built version locking, external package management.

  There is no point in maintaining a large number of libraries, that
  are used neither for development, nor operations.

  Users are directed to https://rebar3.org/ https://erlang.mk/ or
  https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/mix-otp/introduction-to-mix.html
  to fetch custom packages.

  AFFECTS: users of python
  AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org

  The default version of python3 and python was switched to 3.9.

  For ports users wanting to keep version 3.8 as default,
  add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.8 python3=3.8 to make.conf

  Following procedures may ease the upgrade:

  For users of pre-build packages:
  # sh
  # for i in $(pkg query -g %n 'py38-*'); do pkg set -yn ${i}:py39-${i#py38-}; done
  # pkg upgrade

  For portmaster users:
  # sh
  # portmaster -o lang/python39 python38
  # REINSTALL="$(pkg info -o "*py38*" | awk '{printf "%s ", $2}')"
  # pkg delete -f "*py38*"
  # portmaster $REINSTALL
  # REBUILD=$(pkg query -g "%n:%dn" '*' | grep py3 | grep -v py39 | cut -d : -f 1 | sort -u)
  # portmaster $REBUILD
  # REBUILD2=$(pkg list | grep python-38 | xargs pkg which | awk '{print $6}' | sort -u)
  # portmaster $REBUILD2

  Final steps (for pre-built packages & portmaster):

  If no longer required, Python 3.8 can be removed via
  "pkg remove python38" and the directory /usr/local/lib/python3.8 can
  then be deleted afterwards, if not empty.

  AFFECTS: users of sysutils/fusefs-bindfs
  AUTHOR: doralitze@chaotikum.org

  Bindfs defaults to use direct I/O since version 1.16. While this results
  in major performance improvements as well as several bug fixes, this also
  breaks direct legacy calls to mmap. If your application still uses them
  consider these two options:

  1. Mount using `--no-direct-io`
  2. Upgrade your application in order to query mapping guards

  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
  AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org

  /!\ WARNING /!\

  The NetBox 3.2 release contains major changes, so at least items 1.), 2.)
  and 3.) must be checked before proceeding with the upgrade!

  /!\ WARNING /!\

  1. This release includes a database migration that will remove the "asn",
     "contact_name", "contact_phone", and "contact_email" fields from the
     site model.  (These fields have been superseded by the ASN and contact
     models introduced in NetBox v3.1.)

     To protect against the accidental destruction of data, the upgrade
     process will fail if any sites still have data in any of these fields.

     To bypass this safeguard, set the NETBOX_DELETE_LEGACY_DATA environment
     variable when running the upgrade script, which will permit the
     destruction of legacy data.

     A set of migration scripts is available to assist with the migration of
     legacy site data:

     https://github.com/netbox-community/migration-scripts

  2. NetBox v3.2 requires Python 3.8 or later.

  3. If the NetBox Plugin "net-mgmt/py-netbox-plugin-extension" is used,
     please disable it before the migrations are applied.  This can be done
     by removing the entry "netbox_plugin_extensions" from the "PLUGINS"
     section in the NetBox configuration.

     Once the upgrade is done, this port/package can be safely removed as
     it's no longer required.

  4. Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.

20220608:
  AFFECTS: devel/autoconf-wrapper, devel/autoconf213

  AFFECTS: sysutils/zrepl
  AUTHOR: monwarez@gmail.com

  The zrepl update to 0.5.0.8 includes the following breaking changes:
  - The Prometheus metric zrepl_version_daemon was converted to zrepl_start_time
  The metric still reports the zrepl version in a label.
  But the metric *value* is now the Unix timestamp at the time the daemon was started.
  The Grafana dashboard in zrepl examples directory has been updated.

20220502:
  AFFECTS: mail/mutt
  AUTHOR: dereks@lifeofadishwasher.com

  Default header cache option has been changed to the new option LMDB using

  AFFECTS: users of sysutils/screen
  AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org

  As of sysutils/screen-4.9.0_3, the multiuser feature is not supported
  by default. The multiuser feature requires setuid root to function.
  This creates a security risk. Some Linux distributions have had
  non-setuuid root screen for a dozen or more years. FreeBSD is following
  suit. A new MULTIUSER option has been added to enable users to install
  setuid root screen. The MULTIUSER option default is OFF.

  Users who wish to use the multiuser feature may,

  - Build screen using the MULTIUSER option, or
  - Poudriere users can use poudriere-options to enable the MULTIUSER
    option, or
  - Users can chmod the setuid bit for ${LOCALBASE}/bin/screen-4.9.0,
    making screen setuid root to enable the multiuser feature.

  AFFECTS: users of misc/freebsd-doc-*
  AUTHOR: blackend@FreeBSD.org

  A change to the doc toolchain prevents the build of individual
  localized HTML versions of the documentation without building the
  en_US version.  HTML option is currently disabled until a good
  solution is found.  PDF version, the default option, is now the only
  available option.

  Please re-run "make config" to pick up this new default.

20220313:
  AFFECTS: users of net/unison
  AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org

  unison has been updated to version 2.52. The new version introduces
  a new wire protocol and on disk archive format. This new version
  is compatible with 2.51 clients for communication, so it's now
  possible to upgrade one side and then the other.

  The archive files are automatically converted to the new version,
  but once they are converted the y are incompatible with the
  previous version.

  In case you need version 2.51, the previous version of the port
  is preserved in net/unison251.

  TeX system has been updated to 2021 from 2015. Normal pkg upgrade or
  portmaster -a should handle all the upgrade properly. In case not please
  create a ticket or send a mail to tex@FreeBSD.org

  print/tex-aleph has been removed as per upstream. This package should be
  removed manually. Additionally users have reported to delete
  texlive-texmf prior to starting update, or pkg-static will indicate

  AFFECTS: users of lang/php8[01][-extensions]?
  AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org

  Non-Default OPTION MYSQL80 has been removed in lieu of making
  php8[01]-openssl as part of DEFAULT php8[01] installation. Although
  for php74 it is not the case. Ports that depends on
  security/php8[01]-openssl will no longer be installed as these have
  been removed. There is no side effect of this for ports which have
  USE_PHP=openssl. In case for php74 as the default php74-openssl will
  be installed otherwise it will be used from php installation.

  If you are using pkg, you have to remove php8[01]-openssl manually after
  the upgrade :

  # pkg info \*php8\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list

  # pkg upgrade -y
  # pkg delete -f php8[01]-openssl
  # service -R

  While rebuilding from ports users old php.conf is not overwritten. So
  have to manually remove the ports. For portmaster users:
  # sh
  # REINSTALL="$(pkg info -o "*php80*" | grep -v openssl | awk '{printf "%s ", $2}')"
  # pkg delete -f "*php80*"
  # portmaster $REINSTALL
  # portmaster -a

  AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org

  Neovim now uses luajit-openresty as the Lua provider. Many neovim plugins
  compile some of their code (Packer does this, as do many LSP plugins).
  Neovim will produce errors and fail to load the plugins.

  Deleting and reinstalling any plugins that produce errors should fix the
  startup.

  If you use Packer, you also want to delete the startup cache:

  # rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/plugin/packer_compiled.lua

  Your options are:
  1. use bogoutil on each wordlist for each of your users first,
  ONLY THEN reinstall bogofilter, THEN reload the databases with bogoutil,
  OR
  2. install the matching bogofilter version and
  If you had been using bogofilter-lmdb so far, install bogofilter.

  The default version of PHP has been switched from 7.4 to 8.0.

  If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
  before running 'pkg upgrade':

  # pkg info \*php7\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list

  After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
  are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.

  If you use mod_php74 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php80.

  AFFECTS: users of www/node*, www/npm*, www/yarn*
  AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org

  The port framework was updated to use a default version for nodejs.
  The default version is pointing to the latest LTS version which is
  currently version 16.
  You can overwrite this by defining in /etc/make.conf, e.g. version 17:
  DEFAULT_VERSIONS=nodejs=17

  Or if you would like to stick always to the current version use:
  DEFAULT_VERSIONS=nodejs=current

  If you would like to use yarn or npm together with nodejs version 17,
  just install the package that is pulling the wanted dependency to nodejs:

  # pkg install yarn-node17
  # pkg install npm-node17

20211109:
  AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
  AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org

  The port has been updated to the latest stable version 3.4 of LibreSSL.
  The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.

  After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
  libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
  versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
  list of dependent software by running the following command:

  # pkg info -r libressl

  Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
  shared library dependencies.

20211107:
  AFFECTS: users of sysutils/devcpu-data
  AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org

  The RC variable name microcode_cpus is now deprecated.  Users should
  instead use the variable microcode_update_cpus.

  Two new ports were branched from sysutils/devcpu-data,
  sysustils/devcpu-data-amd and sysustils/devcpu-data-intel.  The two
  new ports contain only the CPU microcode updates for each vendor and
  sysutils/devcpu-data now only contains an RC script.  Both new ports
  are on-by-default, optional dependencies of sysutils/devcpu-data.

20211101:
  AFFECTS: users of textproc/redisearch

  # pkg install textproc/redisearch20
    or
  # portmaster -o textproc/redisearch20 textproc/redisearch
    or
  # portupgrade -o textproc/redisearch20 textproc/redisearch

  The following breaking changes apply to beats 7.15.0 and newer:

    - All beats:
    Loading Kibana assets (dashboards, index templates) rely on Saved Object API.
    So to provide a reliable service, Beats can only import and export dashboards
    using at least Kibana 7.15.

    - Filebeat:
      - Remove all alias fields pointing to ECS fields from modules. This affects
        the Suricata and Traefik modules.
      - Fix Crowdstrike ingest pipeline that was creating flattened process fields.
      - Rename log.path to log.file.path in filestream to be consistent with log
        input and ECS.

    - Heartbeat:
      - Remove long deprecated watch_poll functionality.
      - Fix inconsistency in event.dataset values between heartbeat and fleet by
        always setting this value to the monitor type / fleet dataset.

    - Metricbeat:
      - Fix Elasticsearch jvm.gc.collectors.old being exposed as young

20211024:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
  AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org

  The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 12 to 13.
  The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
  currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
  closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
  speedup of the upgrade.

  The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
  complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.

  Upgrade instructions:

  First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
  If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 12.8, your
  files are named according to this.

  # service postgresql stop
  # pkg create postgresql12-server postgresql12-contrib
  # mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql12-server-12.8.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql12-contrib-12.8.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # pkg delete -f databases/postgresql12-server databases/postgresql12-contrib databases/postgresql12-client

  Now update PostgreSQL:

    pkg user:
    # pkg install databases/postgresql13-server databases/postgresql13-contrib
    # pkg upgrade

    Portmaster users:
    # portmaster databases/postgresql13-server databases/postgresql13-contrib
    # portmaster -a

    Portupgrade users:
    # portinstall databases/postgresql13-server databases/postgresql13-contrib
    # portupgrade -a

  After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
  all your databases to new version:

  # su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data13 -U postgres"
  # su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data12/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data13/ -U postgres "

  Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:

  # service postgresql start

  ATTENTION:
  1) The default user changed from "pgsql" to "postgres" in 11. The migration steps above now assume
     the "postgres" database user and FreeBSD user.
  2) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly

20211023:
  AFFECTS: users of www/node
  AUTHOR: bhughes@FreeBSD.org

  The www/node port has been updated to Node.js v17.0.0, the latest
  upstream release. A new port, www/node16, has been created for the
  upcoming v16.x LTS branch. Users wanting to stay on v16.x can replace
  www/node with www/node16 with one of the following commands:

  # pkg install www/node16
    or
  # portmaster -o www/node16 www/node
    or
  # portupgrade -o www/node16 www/node

20211012:
  AFFECTS: users of devel/git
  AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org

  devel/git port was split into multiple sub-ports that depend on devel/git
  and install additional files:

  - devel/git-cvs - CVS related scripts and man pages
  - devel/git-gui - GUI related scripts and man pages
  - devel/git-p4  - Perforce related scripts and man pages
  - devel/git-svn - Subversion related scripts and man pages

  Due to these changes, CVS, GUI, PERFORCE, and SUBVERSION options
  as well as gui and svn flavors were removed from the port.

20211010:
  AFFECTS: users of gtk2 flavored devel/geany*
  AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org

  Upstream dropped support for gtk2. Due to this the ports are now
  unflavored, installing only with gtk3 support.

  If you are already using the default gtk3 flavor will get the new
  version with a simple "pkg upgrade".

  To upgrade when using the gtk2 flavors you need to use "pkg install"
  to install the new unflavored gtk3 packages, pkg will automatically
  uninstall the old gtk2 flavors.

  If using ports, you will need to uninstall all geany packages and
  its plugins and reinstall from an updated ports tree.

  The "geany-plugin-multiterm" plugin was only available as a gtk2
  flavor when installing the gtk2 flavor of geany and has not been
  ported to gtk3, so has been removed from the tree, so the
  geany-plugin-multiterm-gtk2 package should be removed from the system.

20211007:
  AFFECTS: user of security/clamav
  AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org

  Upstream changed end-of-life policy and introduced long time support
  (LTS) feature release.

  * LTS feature release will be identified approximately every two
    years and supported for at least three years from the initial
    publication date of that LTS feature version.
  * Regular (non-LTS) feature releases will be supported for at least
    four months from the initial publication date of the next feature
    release or until the feature release after that is published.

  According to it new port security/clamav-lts is added for users who
  want to use LTS version of ClamAV.

  Users wanting to switch to LTS version can replace security/clamav
  with security/clamav-lts with one of following commands.

  If you use pkg with binary packages:
    # pkg set -o security/clamav:security/clamav-lts
    # pkg upgrade
  If you use portmaster:
    # portmaster -o security/clamav-lts security/clamav
  If you use portupgrade:
    # portupgrade -o security/clamav-lts security/clamav

20211006:
  AFFECTS: users of misc/freebsd-doc-*
  AUTHOR: blackend@FreeBSD.org

The misc/freebsd-doc-* ports have been updated to the new doc toolchain,
and use a somewhat different arrangement of directories and symlinks,
which pkg 1.17 does not handle well.

Users are encouraged to delete the misc/freebsd-doc-* ports, then
reinstall the new ones without using the pkg upgrade facility.

     remain in the database once upgraded, only the secrets functionality on
     the part of NetBox is no longer given.

     In order to continue to be able to access the stored secrets as usual
     (and then possibly migrate them to another solution, e.g.
     security/vault), please install the security/py-netbox-secretstore port
     once NetBox has been upgraded to 3.x and follow its installation
     instructions how to enable the plugin.

  3. If plugins are used, they should be temporarily deactivated to avoid
     disruptions during the upgrade process.

  4. Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.

  AFFECTS: x11-wm/cage, x11-wm/hikari, x11-wm/labwc, x11-wm/sway, x11-wm/wayfire
  AUTHOR: jbeich@FreeBSD.org

  SUID option has been removed in favor of seatd-launch(1) which doesn't
  require special handling in every consumer and doesn't bypass group
  permissions. If you've already enabled seatd service or use consolekit2
  then nothing changes. Otherwise,

    $ sway

  AFFECTS: consumers of math/eigen[23]
  AUTHOR: adridg@FreeBSD.org

  math/eigen2 has been marked deprecated. There do not seem to be any
  consumers in FreeBSD ports.

  math/eigen3 has had its options re-vamped. The default options previously
  pulled in multiple useless library dependencies. The options also forced
  a specific BLAS implementation. The new options depend only on the
  default BLAS (whatever USES=blaslapack picks), but this can be turned
  off. The previous multiple useless libraries -- which are not useless
  when running the tests in Eigen -- are now hidden behind the default-off
  TEST option.

  Users of a carefully-tuned Eigen build should re-evaluate the options
  available.

20210902:
  AFFECTS: users of editors/vim
  AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org

  The vim ports have been completely reworked to take advantage of flavors.

  The biggest change is that the `vim' package is now console-only. If
  you want the GTk3 GUI, you'll need to install the `vim-gtk3' package
  instead. All the GUI toolkits have their own package now: vim-gtk3,
  vim-gtk2, -athena, -motif, and -x11. The vim-tiny package still exists.

  Also: only python3 bindings are included now. There are very few plugins
  written in Perl or Ruby, so there really wasn't a need to bundle those
  languages with Vim. They still exist as OPTIONS, so you can still enable
  them if you'd like. Also, support for py27 has been dropped.

20210901:
  AFFECTS: users of audio/ampache
  AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org

  With the upgrade to Ampache 5.0.0, the root Ampache folder has changed
  to %%WWWDIR%%/ampache/public.  Please update your web server aliases,
  for example if you use Apache, then in httpd.conf make sure the lines
  look like this:

  Alias /ampache /usr/local/www/ampache/public

  <Directory "/usr/local/www/ampache/public">

  If you have customised your .htaccess files to allow for a different
  alias, you'll need to move them to the new location after upgrading:

  # sh -c 'cd /usr/local/www/ampache && for f in */.htaccess; do mv $f public/$f; done'

  More upgrade notes can be found on Github:

  https://github.com/ampache/ampache/releases/tag/5.0.0

20210823:
  AFFECTS: users of mail/mu
  AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org

  mail/mu now uses XDG Base Directory Specification for the default
  locations for various files.  The mu database now lives under
  ~/.cache/mu rather than ~/.mu by default.  After upgrading,
  move the contents under ~/.mu to ~/.cache/mu.

20210823:
  AFFECTS: users of mail/postfixadmin

  AFFECTS: users of sysutils/beats7
  AUTHOR: otis@FreeBSD.org

  Beats may not be sending data to some distributions of Elasticsearch

  In this release, Elastic is enabling a licensing change that was broadly
  communicated earlier in 2021. This change would imply that 7.13 instances of
  Beats would fail to connect to 7.10 or earlier open source distributions of
  Elasticsearch and Kibana.

  The most visible effect is that sysutils/beats7 users can expect
  difficulties to send data to Elastic instances hosted in AWS.

  Changing "*." to "." should make your bindings work again.

20210704:
  AFFECTS: users of misc/qtchooser
  AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

  QtChooser allows you to select your version of Qt among those installed.
  However, this tool is no longer supported upstream and will not be
  available for Qt6.

  By default, our Qt installations are done in:
  ${LOCALBASE}/lib/qt${QT_VERSION} as recommended.
  We have added symbolic linking for the main binaries to
  ${LOCALBASE}/bin with the suffix -qt5.

20210620:
  AFFECTS: users of misc/openhab2
  AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org

  The openhab v3 port has been committed. Upstream has removed the
  version from the name, as such the FreeBSD port follows in all places
  (start script name, directory names, ...).
  Users are encouraged to migrate from misc/openhab2 to misc/openhab.

  No automatic config migration is available Both versions can be
  installed in parallel, but an users has to take care to not run
  both at the same time on the same port.

  AFFECTS: users of graphics/mesa-libs and x11/nvidia-driver
  AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org

  Some libraries from mesa-libs are now provided by libglvnd while
  others were renamed. nvidia-driver already used libglvnd but bundled
  a copy which is now provided as a separate package. When building
  outside poudriere make sure to remove mesa-libs and nvidia-driver
  first in order to avoid conflict with libglvnd.

  For portmaster users:
  # pkg delete -f mesa-libs nvidia-driver

20210416:
  AFFECTS: Users of shells/bash, shells/bash-static with PORTS_READLINE=off
  AUTHOR: olce.freebsd@certner.fr

  Bundled readline now will use LOCALBASE/etc/inputrc as its ultimate default
  inputrc file (instead of /etc/inputrc). This puts these ports in line with
  what devel/readline has been doing recently (since 20210103).

20210414:
  AFFECTS: users of graphics/OpenEXR or graphics/ilmbase
  AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

  graphics/ilmbase was removed in favor of math/Imath 3.0.1,
  and graphics/OpenEXR was updated to 3.0.1. Ports that depend on
  OpenEXR and/or ilmbase according to INDEX were patched,
  for ports where OpenEXR is an option that defaults to off, these
  typical items needs to be changed - file bug reports in that case,
  preferably with tested patches:

  - The IlmBase parts Imath and half are now repackaged as Imath
  - The IlmThread and Iex libraries are now part of OpenEXR
  - Some header files were rearranged accordingly, into
    ${LOCALBASE}/include/OpenEXR vs. ${LOCALBASE}/include/Imath
  - Some code needs a few #include statements added, often
    #include <ImfHeader.h> or #include <ImfFrameBuffer.h>
  - Some classes were removed, and the C++11 standard library
    features need to be used, f. i. std::numeric_limits.
  - Some code used Int64 or SInt64 should use uint64_t or int64_t.

  AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/oldschool-pc-fonts
  AUTHOR: evgeniy@khramtsov.org

  x11-fonts/oldschool-pc-fonts has been upgraded to 2.2. This version
  changed names of many fonts. If you have configuration files with
  specific font names set, you need to update your configurations
  after upgrade.

20210406:
  AFFECTS: users of www/phpvirtualbox
  AUTHOR: dereks@lifeofadishwasher.com

  www/phpvirtualbox has been updated to version 6.1. This new version
  only supports version 6.1 of VirtualBox.

  Version 5.x of phpvirtualbox has been preserved as
  www/phpvirtualbox-legacy. If you require support for VirtualBox
  5.x please install this version. Remember to copy your configuration
  file in the new legacy installation.

20210328:
  AFFECTS: users of www/caddy
  AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org

  The default locations for caddy runtime files have changed.

  - Caddy's runtime log is now /var/log/caddy/caddy.log
    (was /var/log/caddy.log)

  - Automatic SSL certs are now stored in /var/db/caddy/data/caddy
    (was /root/.local/share/caddy)

  - Configuration autosaves are now stored in /var/db/caddy/config/caddy
    (was /root/.config/caddy)

  You can change these defaults. See /usr/local/etc/rc.d/caddy for the
  list of settings.

20210322:
  AFFECTS: users of net/wireguard
  AUTHOR: decke@FreeBSD.org

  A wireguard kernel implementation supporting FreeBSD 12.1 and newer was
  added as net/wireguard-kmod recently.

  The new default for users of net/wireguard is the kernel module.

  If you experience problems with it you can switch back to wireguard-go
  by removing net/wireguard-kmod and making sure net/wireguard-go is
  installed.
  The userland tools wg-quick(8) and wg(8) try to use kernel support if
  the kernel module is available and otherwise fall back to wireguard-go
  automatically. Config files are fully compatible.

20210317:
  AFFECTS: users of security/strongswan
  AUTHOR: driesm@FreeBSD.org

  The stroke starter interface has been deprecated by upstream
  for some time now.  The default interface for controlling the charon
  daemon has switched from stroke to vici. Users still using the
  legacy config files such as ipsec.conf and ipsec.secret (stroke, starter)
  can easily revert to the old behavior by:

  # sysrc strongswan_interface="stroke"

  It is recommended to use the vici interface which is configured by swanctl.conf.
  Check : https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Fromipsecconf
  to ease the transition from ipsec.* to swanctl.conf

20210313:
  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/phpipam
  AUTHOR: marko.cupac@mimar.rs

  ipaddresses table in phpipam database is likely to contain incorrect datetime
  values which prevent successful upgrade.  Make sure to create backup of
  phpipam database.  Before starting upgrade wizard in web interface run the
  following SQL query on phpipam database:

    UPDATE ipaddresses SET lastSeen='1970-01-01 00:00:01' WHERE lastSeen < '0000-01-01 00:00:00';

20210310:
  AFFECTS: users of textproc/redisearch
  AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org

  The textproc/redisearch port has been updated to the recent stable
  release - v2.0.  Users wanting to stay on v1.6 can replace
  textproc/redisearch with textproc/redisearch16 with one of the
  following commands:

  # pkg install textproc/redisearch16
    or
  # portmaster -o textproc/redisearch16 textproc/redisearch
    or
  # portupgrade -o textproc/redisearch16 textproc/redisearch

  NOTE: The textproc/redisearch16 brings a new name for the module,
  i.e. redisearch16.so, so be careful.

20210309:
  AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox-ose
  AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org

  emulators/virtualbox-ose has been updated to 6.1.18. This new
  version only works on amd64 hardware.

  Previous version 5.x of the virtualbox ports have been preserved
  as emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy and similarly named ports for
  the other parts.

  If you can't run the latest version or wish to stay with the old
  version, please install the legacy ports.

  Also the additions at present build successfully only for amd64.
  If you need i386 additions you can fallback to the old legacy
  ones.

  NOTE: There is no support for moving saved running machine states
  across major updates of virtualbox. It is recommended to properly
  shutdown all virtual machines before upgrading. Otherwise the saved
  state can simply be discarded after the upgrade, if it's not
  important to preserve it.

  It should also be possible to downgrade to the legacy ports and
  shutdown the machine properly from the saved state and then upgrade
  back again.

20210302:
  AFFECTS: users of editors/emacs-devel
  AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org

  If you get the error "Symbol's value as variable is void: minor-modes",
  rebuild the offending Emacs packages.  See

  for details.

20210220:
  AFFECTS: users of math/py-mathics
  AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org

  math/py-mathics has been split into several ports, and Mathics Core
  only provides a rudimentary command-line shell called mathics.

  https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd/blob/master/docs/src/config/File.md

20210208:
  AFFECTS: users of mail/mailscanner
  AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org

  The clamavmodule has finally been removed after a long deprecation
  period.  Please remove all references to it in your mailscanner.conf as
  it will now count as a syntax error and may stop MailScanner starting!

20210204:
  AFFECTS: users of www/unit
  AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org

  The default location for NGINX Unit's state directory has changed.  It
  was moved from /usr/local/libexec/unit to /var/db/unit in order to
  avoid write operations on /usr/local filesystem.

20210130:
  AFFECTS: users of graphics/opencv-core
  AUTHOR: tcberner@FreeBSD.org

  graphics/opencv-core has been reintegrated into graphics/opencv.
  So there is no longer a circular dependency
     opencv-core -> ffmpeg -> opencv

  If you experience problems updating the packages, try
      pkg delete -f opencv-core

20210124:
  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
  AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org

  The Django templating language (DTL) is no longer supported for export
  templates.  Please ensure that all export templates use Jinja2 before
  upgrading.

  Also the support for embedded graphs was completely removed and several
  changes to the REST API were made.  Please check the changelogs for
  further details.

20210114:
  AFFECTS: users of net-im/matterircd
  AUTHOR: norrland@nullbyte.se

  Commandline switches

  Switched to viper for cmdline parsing, which does not support "short" flags.
  You'll need to use --flag instead of -flag. Eg ./matterircd --debug
  Bridge specific configuration is now only in configuration file. This means
  the following flags have been removed: -restrict,-mmteam,-mmserver,
  -mminsecure,-mmskiptlsverify.
  You can set those in matterircd.toml, see the example file.

  Config changes

  BlacklistUser feature for slack has been renamed to DenyUsers.
  JoinMpImOnTalk feature has been renamed to JoinDM and is available for
  slack/mattermost
  JoinInclude, JoinExclude now support regexp (see matterircd.toml.example)
