If you're aware of using anything that has changed (see the release
notes): maybe pay closer attention than usual to those things.
More generally: use the operating system as you normally would.
In either case: if anything seems out of the ordinary, make a new
post, describing what you found. Someone will be able to advise
whether a bug report is appropriate.
Thanks

> Please note that a fifth RC build will be arriving very soon with
one more bug fix; 13.2-RC5 is expected to be the final release
candidate.
To be precise, 13.2-RC5 fixes the sendfile issue which was mentioned
here a few times.

Looks good. I posted on IRC asking for someone to update the
schedule.

According to the draft release notes (if I understand correctly),
ifconfig should now accept the rxtls flag in addition to the txtls
flag, but rxtls is apparently not recognised and not (yet?) mentioned
in the ifconfig man page.
In /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.1.69 netmask 255.255.255.0 txtls rxcsum
txcsum tso"
works, but
ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.1.69 netmask 255.255.255.0 rxtls txtls
rxcsum txcsum tso"
does not work.

Which part of the notes?
_ifconfig: add rxtls and -rxtls commands_
* is on the `main` branch, amongst [search
results](https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/log/?qt=grep&q=rxtls&h=main),
2022-05-24, *MFC after: 3 weeks*
* [is not found](https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/log/?qt=grep&q=rxtls&h=s
table%2F13) on `stable/13`.

In the General Network section of
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.2R/relnotes/ it says:
"...KTLS (the kernel TLS implementation) has added receive offload
support for TLS 1.3. Receive offload is now supported for TLS 1.1
through 1.3; send offload is supported for TLS 1.0 through 1.3.
1462dc95f796 (Sponsored by Netflix)...".
I took this to mean that "ifconfig: add rxtls and -rxtls commands" was
supposed to be in 13.2 by this stage of the release cycle.
The "is not found" link leads to:
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?h=stable/13&id=f1f93475463891194c
453aff5f7c872fa9109b45
which seems to indicate that the "Initial support for kernel offload
of TLS receive" commit should already be in stable/13?
The same issue applies with 13.2-RC5 by the way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
paulw_ul · 2023-04-04 03:05
Having looked again slightly more carefully (now that we're on
13.2-RC6), I perhaps misunderstood your point that the KTLS receive
offload support changes in stable/13 do not yet involve ifconfig,
whereas on the main branch ifconfig does recognise rxtls and -rxtls.
In other words the KTLS receive offload support implementation won't
*really* be available until stable/14 or >14.0-RELEASE.
Is that worth clarifying in the 13.2 release notes?

Sorry, 1:30AM here. Can you email the relevant developer (whoever did
the cited commit) and CC re@?
