# 768489c7 17-Aug-2023 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

RELNOTES: Clarify package building on older branches for 32-bit.

"on" could be read to require native builds only vs cross-builds
via qemu-user and that was not the intention.

Suggested by: Mark Millard <marklmi@yahoo.com>


# da51a121 16-Aug-2023 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

RELNOTES: Note the deprecation of 32-bit platforms for 15.0.

This draws a line in the sand of removing support for 32-bit worlds
and kernels aside from COMPAT_FREEBSD32 and lib32 support. The
project may choose to alter this approach when 15.0 is released by
extending some level of 32-bit support in 15.0 or later.

In particular, at present there is a fair bit of interest in retaining
armv7 support in 15.0 at least.

Document r350307.

Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation


# 8dbc2b6e 17-Jul-2019 Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org>

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.
