AFFECTS: users of textproc/elasticsearch
AUTHOR: tj@FreeBSD.org
This is the first stable release based on Lucene 4. We recommend testing
the upgrade before doing it in production.
Upgrading from 0.20 requires a full cluster restart.
In order to be able to downgrade, stop indexing new data, issue a flush
request, do the upgrade and only enable indexing of new data once you
are certain that you no longer need to downgrade. Once new data has
been indexed, downgrading is no longer possible. To be extra safe, back
up your data before upgrading.

java/openjdk7 JVM.

AFFECTS: users of devel/hs-git-annex
AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org
On FreeBSD, git-annex incorrectly calculated SHA256 hashes for files
added to the annex repository due to the BSD-style output of
/sbin/sha256. The result of this is silent data corruption.
This problem has been fixed, but every file stored in an annex
repository will fail a `git-annex fsck` after the upgrade. Thus,
before updating, it is wise to issue the command below and restore the
files.
$ git-annex uninit
Corruptions can then be found by finding all files with the same hash.
Note that only files that were mishashed to the same location are a
problem.

AFFECTS: users of TeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
One can now choose TeXLive or teTeX by using TEX_DEFAULT.
Specifying TEX_DEFAULT=texlive, almost all of ports which use TeX
will install and depend on TeXLive-based ones. Note that the
default value is still "tetex" and the two cannot coexist. You need
to remove all of the TeX-related packages based on teTeX to try
TeXLive.

AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org
libplist Python bindings were split from the main port. To get them you

AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org
libusbmuxd and libimobiledevice versions have changed. Please, rebuild
all the ports that depend on them:

# portupgrade -fr comms/usbmuxd
or
# pkg install -fR comms/usbmuxd

AFFECTS: users of TeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
TeXLive ports have been imported. Although most of ports still depend
on teTeX at this moment, they will be converted to use TeXLive.
The directory layout of them is as follows. Please use print/texlive-full
if you are not familiar with how each component works. Finer-grained
ports will be added (specifically, meta ports for smaller installation
and so on). Note that the full installation needs around 3GB of disk space.
teTeX-based ports and TeXLive are mutually exclusive. This means TeXLive
ports cannot be installed when teTeX is already installed. You need
to remove all of the TeX-related packages based on teTeX to try TeXLive.
Migration procedure will be announced when conversion of the port
dependency is completed.
* Meta port
- print/texlive-full: meta port to install all of the TeXLive components
* Libraries
- devel/tex-kpathsea: kpathsea library
- devel/tex-web2c: WEB2C toolchain and TeX engines
- print/tex-ptexenc: character code conversion library for pTeX
* Base part of the TeXLive
- print/texlive-base: binary programs in TeXLive
- print/texlive-texmf: macro and font data in TeXLive
- print/texlive-infra: tlmgr dependency (Perl modules)
- print/tex-formats:
* TeX Formats
- print/tex-formats: TeX, LaTeX, PDFTeX, AMSTeX, ConTeXT, CSLaTeX,
EplainTeX, METAFONT, MLTeX, PDFTeX, TeXsis
- print/tex-aleph: Aleph/Lambda
- print/tex-xetex: XeTeX

AFFECTS: users of security/libgcrypt and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org
The libgcrypt port has been updated to 1.5.2 and all shared libraries
versions have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that
depend on libgcrypt. Do something like:
# portmaster -r libgcrypt
or
# portupgrade -rf libgcrypt
Alternatively, you may install sysutils/bsdadminscripts, run pkg_libchk and
rebuild all detected ports:
# pkg_libchk | tee /tmp/rebuild
# awk -F':' '/libgcrypt.so/ {print $1}' /tmp/rebuild | sort | uniq \
| xargs portmaster -D

AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/pkg, ports-mgmt/poudriere, ports-mgmt/tinderbox
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
This only affects people who are _building_ binary packages for pkgng. If you
are building from ports please ignore this. This step is optional.
It is recommended to rebuild all packages and then have your users run 'pkg
check -Ba' and 'pkg upgrade' on their servers once. This will allow the new
shlib tracking to reinstall packages that have changed shlib requirements.

AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The affected ports have been converted to use libpaper for the default paper
size as print/psutils did. For more detail, see 20130424 below.

AFFECTS: users of print/psutils-a4 or print/psutils-letter
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
print/psutils-a4 and print/psutils-letter have been merged into a single port
print/psutils. The default paper size in psnup(1), psresize(1), and
pstops(1) is now selected via an environment variable and/or a configuration
file of libpaper(3). For more detail, see papersize(5) and paperconfig(8)
manual page. If you prefer A4 or letter size by default as the old
version did, please install print/papersize-default-a4 or
print/papersize-default-letter, which installs a papersize configuration
file without manual configuration.

AFFECTS: users of */hs-*
AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org
Due to some unexpected dynamic linking problems, Haskell Cabal ports with
binaries that link to their own libraries may not work. With default
configuration, the following ports are known to have this problem:
Agda, BNFC, pandoc, and uuagc. (Their port revision are now bumped.)
In general, it is recommended to rebuild the port if you are
experiencing that the corresponding binary will not start, e.g.:
% agda
Shared object "libHSAgda-2.3.2-ghc7.4.2.so" not found, required by "agda"
