[[userland-config]]
=== Userland Configuration Changes
By default, changes shown in email by the man:periodic[8] facility from the `daily` scripts show less context than before to reduce the size of the output.
The behavior can be controlled by the `daily_diff_flags` variable in man:rc.conf[5].
Similarly, the changes shown by the security scripts show less context than previously, controlled by the `security_status_diff_flags` variable in man:rc.conf[5].

[[userland-programs]]
=== Userland Application Changes
The man:date[1] program now supports nanoseconds.
For example: `date -Ins` prints "2024-04-22T12:20:28,763742224+02:00" and `date +%N` prints "415050400".
gitref:eeb04a736cb9[repository=src]
The man:lastcomm[1] utility now displays timestamps with a precision of seconds.

The man:ldconfig[8] utility now supports hints files of either byte order.
The default format is the native byte-order of the host.

OpenSSH has been upgraded to version 9.7p1.
Full release notes are at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-9.7[] and https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-9.6[] .

The man:sendmail[8] suite has been upgraded to version 8.18.1, addressing CVE-2023-51765.
gitref:58ae50f31e95[repository=src]
The man:usbconfig[8] utility now reads the descriptions of usb vendor and products from [.filename]#/usr/share/misc/usb_vendors# when available, similar to what man:pciconf[8] does.
[[userland-contrib]]
=== Contributed Software
One True Awk (man:awk[1]) has been updated to 2nd Edition, with new -csv support and UTF-8 support.

[[userland-deprecated-programs]]
=== Deprecated Applications
[[userland-libraries]]
=== Runtime Libraries and API
The man:setusercontext[3] routine in `libutil` will now set the process priority (nice) from the [.filename]#.login.conf# file from the home directory under appropriate conditions, as well as the system man:login.conf[5].
The priority can now have the value `inherit`, indicating that the priority should be unchanged from that of the parent process.
Similarly, the umask can have the value `inherit`.

Multiple PCI MCFG regions are now supported on amd64 and i386, allowing PCI configuration space access for domains (segments) other than 0.

The man:smsc[4] Ethernet driver can now fetch the value of `smsc95xx.macaddr` passed by some Raspberry Pi models and use it for the MAC address.
It always uses a stable MAC address even if there is no address in EEPROM.

New man:sysctl[8] variables have been added under `kern.rpc.unenc` and `kern.rpc.tls`, which allow an NFS server administrator to determine how much NFS-over-TLS is being used.
A large number of failed handshakes might indicate an NFS confirguration problem.
