- dash is used instead of bash for the /bin/sh symlink now. Note that bash is still a strong requirement because most of our tools like pkgmk, ports etc. are bash scripts
- glibc locales will need to be regenerated. See section "Generating locales"
- support for tcp_wrappers has been removed
- opt/dovecot may be runtime-configured to use tcpwrap. Check your config
- new location for the man-pages is /usr/share/man which is the FSH standard since many years.
- to improve and standardize the rc scripts a helper-program start-stop-daemon has been included to the core port-collection
- firefox has been prepared for html5 video via the gstreamer framework, which adds gstreamer and gst-plugins-base to the dependency list
- firefox now uses the gtk3 toolkit instead of gtk2.
- wpa_supplicant has gained support for dbus.
- support for curl has been added to pkgmk in addition to wget. Default is still wget but can be configured in pkgmk.conf.
