20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites and upgrading,
if you are not already using 3.5.0 or higher.
+20150616:
+ /etc/make.conf now included earlier.
+ sys.mk now includes /etc/make.conf and {local,src}.sys.mk earlier
+ than previously.
+ This makes it simple to interpose external toolchains etc.
+ However it may cause problems for users who have things like::
+
+ INSTALL+= something
+
+ in /etc/make.conf, since INSTALL is not yet defined.
+ A safe fix for that is to have::
+
+ INSTALL?= install
+ INSTALL+= something
+
+ which is equivalent to previous behavior.
+
+20150616:
+ FreeBSD's old make (fmake) has been removed from the system. It is
+ available as the devel/fmake port or via pkg install fmake.
+
+20150615:
+ The fix for the issue described in the 20150614 sendmail entry
+ below has been been committed in revision 284436. The work
+ around described in that entry is no longer needed unless the
+ default setting is overridden by a confDH_PARAMETERS configuration
+ setting of '5' or pointing to a 512 bit DH parameter file.
+
+20150614:
+ ALLOW_DEPRECATED_ATF_TOOLS/ATFFILE support has been removed from
+ atf.test.mk (included from bsd.test.mk). Please upgrade devel/atf
+ and devel/kyua to version 0.20+ and adjust any calling code to work
+ with Kyuafile and kyua.
+
+20150614:
+ The import of openssl to address the FreeBSD-SA-15:10.openssl
+ security advisory includes a change which rejects handshakes
+ with DH parameters below 768 bits. sendmail releases prior
+ to 8.15.2 (not yet released), defaulted to a 512 bit
+ DH parameter setting for client connections. To work around
+ this interoperability, sendmail can be configured to use a
+ 2048 bit DH parameter by:
+
+ 1. Edit /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc
+ 2. If a setting for confDH_PARAMETERS does not exist or
+ exists and is set to a string beginning with '5',
+ replace it with '2'.
+ 3. If a setting for confDH_PARAMETERS exists and is set to
+ a file path, create a new file with:
+ openssl dhparam -out /path/to/file 2048
+ 4. Rebuild the .cf file:
+ cd /etc/mail/; make; make install
+ 5. Restart sendmail:
+ cd /etc/mail/; make restart
+
+ A sendmail patch is coming, at which time this file will be
+ updated.
