[2016-10-21] Support for sha512 and + skein checksumming has been added to the + ZFS filesystem. This was not mentioned + in the release notes.

Systems being upgraded from earlier FreeBSD releases with + ZFS will see a message in zpool + status output noting the pool is not at the + latest version, and some features may not be enabled. + Additional instructions on how to any ZFS + pools to the latest version and update the boot blocks for + all boot drives in the pool will also be provided in the + output.

This information is also documented is also documented + in /usr/src/UPDATING, which is + included if the src component is selected + during installation.

[2016-10-21] The size of the GPT + enabled ZFS boot blocks + (/boot/gptzfsboot) has increased past + 64K. Systems upgraded from older releases may experience + a problem where the size of the existing + "freebsd-boot" partition is too small to hold the + new gptzfsboot.

Systems where the boot partition is immediately followed + by the swap partition, such as those installed via + bsdinstall(8), can resize the swap partition slightly + using the gpart(8) resize command, + so space can be reclaimed to increase the size of the + freebsd-boot partition.
