Bump CURRENT to 14.0 This one goes to 14. Approved by: re (implicit) Sponsored by: Rubicon Communications, LLC ("Netgate")

Release notes for FreeBSD 14.0.
Add an initial RELNOTES file. The intent is to provide a convenient location to document changes that are relevant to users of binary FreeBSD distributions, in contrast with UPDATING, which exists to document caveats for users who build FreeBSD from source. This complements the "Relnotes:" tag in commit messages by providing a place to document the change in more detail, or in case a "Relnotes:" tag was accidentally omitted. In particular, "Relnotes:" should be used if you do not intend to document the change in RELNOTES for some reason. Changes to the file should not be MFCed. For now the file will exist only in head, but may be updated via direct commits to stable branches depending on how things go. I took the liberty of pre-populating the file with some recent release notes-worthy changes.

either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include:
o Locale is no longer used for ranges
o Various bugs fixed
o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk
The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that
we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and
interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one
true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic
behavior.

A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart
if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator
is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14.

RELNOTES: Add an entry for commit ee29e6f31111
2021-07-16 22:33:52 +00:00
Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio
that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS
server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running.
The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size
via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client
can also do 1Mbyte I/O.
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased. A console
message will suggest a setting for it.

The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4
supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0,
for NFSv4 mounts.
The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default.
