that all client can listen the UPS. If you want to prevent this you have to
use the FreeNAS client firewall to block specific IP ranges. See

Minors changes:
- Add 'SSL/TLS only' on 'Services|FTP' page to allow TLS/SSL connections only.

- Add 'Authentication' checkbox on 'Services|BitTorrent' page to enable/disable
authentication for TransmissionBT WebGUI.

monitor the local installed UPS in slave mode.

- Disable download feature in Quixplorer because there are misc. (PHP and
system) limitations that makes this feature senseless.

'System|Advanced|sysctl.conf'.
- Add ability to enable/disable sysctl variables in 'System|Advanced|sysctl.conf'.

port forwarding, pex, encryption mode and max. upload/download bandwidth
(FR 2765940).

Bug fixes:

friendly name will be generated automatically (e.g. 'xxxx : 1').
- Set correct shutdown property in upsmon.conf (BR 2521141).
- Starting FTP service fails when using DHCP on LAN interface (BR 2519951).

- Add patch for PHP bug #45996 (libxml2 2.7 causes breakage with character data
in xml_parse()).

console menu (BR 2661938).
- Fix problem with DAAP & Mac iTunes 8.1 (BR 2701606). Thanks to Alexey Sannikov.

to desummoner for the patch.

Permanent restrictions:
- It is not possible to format a SoftRAID disk with MSDOS FAT16/32.
- It is not possible to encrypt a disk partition, only complete disks are supported.
- It is not possible to get seperate CPU stats per processor on SMP machines because
FreeBSD does not support that feature.
- Enable 'polling' on interfaces used by a LAGG interface will make it inoperable.
- It is not possible to mount EXT2 disks with an inode size of 256 bytes. You
have to format it with 128 bytes on Linux to use them on FreeBSD.

Known bugs:
- If DHCP for IPv4 is used, the IPv6 statically configured DNS server will be
overriden by the IPv4 DNS server.
