and [
CHANGES-7.0](//ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-7.0/CHANGES-7.0) files in the top level directory of the NetBSD 7.0
release tree.
An abbreviated version is below:

-
Add
[sendmmsg(2)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/sendmmsg.2)and[recvmmsg(2)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/recvmmsg.2)support. - Add BPF coprocessor support (BPF_COP/BPF_COPX instructions).
-
Add
[fdiscard(2)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/fdiscard.2)and[posix_fallocate(2)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/posix_fallocate.2)system calls. - Add a new RLIMIT_NTHR limit to limit the number of processes per user and the corresponding kern.maxlwp sysctl.
- Import sljit and add BPF JIT compiler.
- Expose kern.uidinfo.* via sysctl.
- Create an "options MODULAR_DEFAULT_AUTOLOAD" config option and add it to all kernel configs that contain "options MODULAR". This option turns on module autoloading by default (which is the current default). This allows people who don't want module autoloading on by default to disable it by simply removing/commenting this line.
-
[kqueue(2)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/kqueue.2): on NOTE_EXIT, put the exit code of the process in "data". -
[sysmon_pswitch(9)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/sysmon_pswitch.9): Introduce a new switch type, PSWITCH_TYPE_RADIO, to be used to report to userland hardware radio switch changes.[powerd(8)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/powerd.8)will call a "radio_button" script to handle the event. -
[envsys(4)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/envsys.4): Add %rH (relative Humidity) to sensor framework.

-
Add sysctls to avoid IPv6 DoS attacks (from OpenBSD):
- net.inet6.ip6.neighborgcthresh = 2048
- net.inet6.ip6.maxifprefixes = 16
- net.inet6.ip6.maxifdefrouters = 16
- net.inet6.ip6.maxdynroutes = 4096

-
Make
[shmif(4)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/shmif.4)work with bridges. - Add net.inet6.ip6.prefer_tempaddr sysctl knob to prefer IPv6 temporary addresses as the source address.
- Add support for the TCP_INFO socket option, which permits the caller to query certain information about a TCP connection.

- ptyfs: Allow multiple mounts and support proper device visibility in chroots.
- Enable support for UFS1 extended attributes in GENERIC and GENERIC-like kernels.
- FFS: Don't fail mounting the root filesystem if the WAPBL log is corrupt.
-
Add experimental support for the (mostly SSD specific) "discard", or
ATA "TRIM" command to
[wd(4)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/wd.4)and FFS.

-
[rnd(4)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/rnd.4):- Sensors can now be a source of entropy.
- Gather much more entropy early in boot and thereafter: autoconf timings, all sysctl settings (including hostname), contents of early network packets, environmental sensor values generically rather than as per-driver special cases.

-
[rnd(9)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/rnd.9):- Add explicit enable/disable hooks for callout-driven sources (be more power friendly).
- Make "skew" source polled so it runs only when there is entropy demand.
- Adjust entropy collection from polled sources so it's processed sooner.

-
Add
[viornd(4)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/viornd.4), a driver for the VirtIO entropy source available on QEMU, KVM, and Google Compute Engine. -
[cprng_fast(9)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/cprng_fast.9): Replace slow/broken mutex-protected kernel _arc4random() with new cprng_fast implementation using per-cpu instances of chacha8.

-
Audio:
-
[ess(4)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/ess.4): Add support for Spatializer, 3D audio effects embedded in ES1869 and ES1879.

-
-
Graphics and Video:
- Add accelerated support for modern Intel and Radeon devices on x86 through a port of the Linux 3.15 DRM/KMS code.
-
[genfb(4)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/genfb.4): Add support for 32bit framebuffers. - Add gffb, a driver for NVIDIA GeForce2 MX graphics controllers.
- Add gmafb, a framebuffer driver for Intel Graphics
- Add tifb, an experimental driver for the Texas Instruments AM335x SoC's graphic controller.

-
Storage:
- Recognize the Apple disk partitioning scheme, and auto-discover wedges. Fix iPod disk mounting.
-
Add
[mpii(4)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/mpii.4), a driver for LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II SAS controllers. -
[ata(4)](//man.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-7.0/ata.4): Add support for SATA Port MultiPliers (PMP). -

- New BUILDINFO variable may be passed to build.sh, and exposed in /etc/release, as well as in sysctl kern.buildinfo.
- Process /etc/modules.conf (if present) at startup, before securelevel is raised, to allow module loading on ports without a module aware bootloader.
- Add a resize_root rc.d script. If resize_root=YES in rc.conf (the default is NO) then the system attempts to resize the root file system to fill its partition prior to mounting read-write.

In this release of NetBSD, the following software components have been removed from the system. Some were not useful anymore, or their utility did not justify the maintenance overhead. Others were not working properly and there was a lack of interest in fixing them.

- The window utility was removed in favor of tmux. window can be found in pkgsrc/misc/window.
- OSI network stack support was removed.
- FAST_IPSEC is now named IPSEC. The old KAME IPSEC code is gone.

The NetBSD 7.0 release provides supported binary distributions for the following systems:

The NetBSD Foundation would like to thank all those who have contributed code, hardware, documentation, funds, colocation for our servers, web pages and other documentation, release engineering, and other resources over the years. More information on the people who make NetBSD happen is available at:

We would like to especially thank the University of California at Berkeley and the GNU Project for particularly large subsets of code that we use. We would also like to thank the Internet Systems Consortium Inc. and the Network Security Lab at Columbia University's Computer Science Department for current colocation services.

NetBSD is a free, fast, secure, and highly portable Unix-like
Open Source operating system. It is available for a wide range
of platforms, from large-scale servers and powerful desktop
systems to handheld and embedded devices. Its clean design
and advanced features make it excellent for use in both
production and research environments, and the source code is
freely available under a business-friendly license. NetBSD is
developed and supported by a large and vibrant international
community. Many applications are readily available through
[pkgsrc,
the NetBSD Packages Collection.](//pkgsrc.org)

The [NetBSD Foundation](../../foundation/) was
chartered in 1995, with the task of overseeing core NetBSD project
services, promoting the project within industry and the open
source community, and holding intellectual property rights on much
of the NetBSD code base. Day-to-day operations of the project are
handled by volunteers.

As a non-profit organization with no commercial backing, the NetBSD
Foundation depends on donations from its users, and we would like to ask
you to consider [making a donation](../../donations/)
to the NetBSD Foundation in support of continuing production of our
fine operating system. Your generous donation would be particularly
welcome to help with ongoing upgrades and maintenance, as well as
with operating expenses for the NetBSD Foundation.

Donations can be done via PayPal to
`<`

, or via Google Checkout and are fully
tax-deductible in the US. See [paypal@NetBSD.org](mailto:paypal@NetBSD.org)>[
