NomadBSD 1.3.2 released

We are pleased to present the release of NomadBSD 1.3.2.

Changes since 1.3.1

  • The base system has been upgraded to FreeBSD 12.1-p6.

  • sysutils/rtsx-kmod, which is a driver for Realtek card readers, has been added.

  • The ZFS layout used for installing NomadBSD on a harddisk has been changed
    to allow beactl to back up the boot environment. Thanks to @maurizio-emmex.

  • load_iichid has been added. It is a rc-script, which offers the user, via a
    dialog(1) menu, to load the experimental iichid driver from sysutils/iichid if
    it finds a I2C HID.

  • graphics/intel-backlight has been added.

  • A curses menu has been added, which allows user to acknowledge licenses of
    certain wireless drivers in order to use them.

  • A unionfs_maxfiles rc.conf variable has been added. It controls how many files
    can be opened on the unionfs.

  • graphics/mirage has been replaced by graphics/viewnior.

  • A patch from 12-STABLE has been added to the acpi_video module, which sends
    devd events whenever the brightness was changed.

  • brightness_listener has been added. It is a tool that listens in the
    background on devd events for keypresses of screen brightness buttons and
    shows the current brightness level using dunst(1).

  • volumecontrol has been added. It is a wrapper around /usr/sbin/mixer to
    increase, decrease and toggle mute the soundcard and display the current
    value with dunst(1).

  • Spanish translations have been added to nomadbsd-adduser. Thanks to
    Hugo Salgado.

  • A bug which makes the brigtness keys of the ThinkPad T450 fail has been fixed.

  • The bwn(4) module was build with BWN_GPL_PHY enabled to build it with N-PHY
    support, which is needed for BCM43224 and BCM43225 devices.

  • x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard and x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse have been
    replaced by x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput.
