FreeNAS 0.686.1 (beta revision 2728) released

Majors changes:
- Upgrade Samba to 3.0.28.
- Add attributes 'Guest account' and 'Null passwords' to 'Samba: Settings' advanced section in WebGUI.
- Enhance WebGUI + rc-script to define additional group memberships for user accounts.
- Replace uShare UPnP Mediaserver with MediaTomb 0.10.0. This has been done because ushare's latest version
fails to build on FreeBSD, also new version requires external libs for DLNA support which is not ported
to FreeBSD right at the moment.
You have to reconfigure the UPnP service to get working properly. XBox 360 is not supported, sorry.
- Increase mfsroot size to 54mb for embedded version. So hopefully the OS has enough memory for logfiles,...
Especially with Samba tbd files, which increases rapidely with a huge number of users accessing the system.
- Add kernel patch to support ATi IXP600/700 PATA/SATA.
- Switch back to SCHED_ULE scheduler.
- Upgrade 3ware serial ATA RAID controller driver to 9.4.2 (http://www.3ware.com/download/Escalade9650SE-Series/9.4.2/9.4.2_Release_Notes_Web.pdf).
- Allow creation of users with empty passwords.
- Upgrade ATAidle to 2.3.
- Set 'kern.hz="500"' in /boot/loader.conf for better system and media streaming performance. Thanks to Eyn Ergy for testing.
VMWare users which require this setting have to install in 'full' mode and edit loader.conf by hand.
See http://ivoras.sharanet.org/freebsd/vmware.html or http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/virtualization-guest.html for some tipps.
- Add SSL/TLS support to FTP service.
- Use inadyn-mt instead of inadyn dynamic DNS client.
- Add easyDNS.com and 3322.org support to 'Dynamic DNS' service.
- Upgrade dp.SyntaxHighlighter to 1.5.1.
- Fix install problem "Error: Failed to set partitions on the disk 'xxx'".

Minors changes:
- Remove readonly flag for iSCSI extent/device/target 'Name' field during creation. It will be readonly after creation.
- Add checkbox in 'Mount Point' WebGUI to enable/disable foreground/background file system consistency check during boot process.
- Remove 'Read only' checkbox from rsyncd settings page (WebGUI). Access mode can be defined per share.
- Autoselect 'Selected' checkbox in time selection control (minutes/hours/days/months/weekdays) e.g. when configuring scheduled reboot.
- Add ability to select PIO modes for IDE/ATA disks on 'Disks: Management: Disk: Edit' WebGUI page.
- Enable logging for local/client rsync jobs (to /var/log/rsync_xxx.log). It is possible to access log files via WebGUI/Advanced/Edit File page.
- Add 'User ID' and 'Group ID' option to RSYNC module configurations.
- Improved software RAID creation/administration via WebGUI.
- Add additional options (e.g. cachecnid, upriv, ...) for AFPd shares.
- Add if_tap.ko and if_tun.ko kernel modules for tun/tap pseudo device support (required by OpenVPN).

Bug fixs:
- Calculating iSCSI extent IDs fails for numbers > 10.
- Promote correct UPnP port via ZeroConf/Apple Bonjour.
- Fix bug in rsyncd rc-script. Hosts allow/deny were not set correct. Also fix client error message 'ERROR: module is read only'.
- Fix bug in FTP service. It was possible to select 'Anonymous login only' and 'Local users only' simultaneously which is impossible.
Please check your configuration and reconfigure your FTP service if necessary.

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.

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