From 3cce9c309963a640877ae90da195f68d8d7c7327 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "M. Bueker" Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2021 23:08:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] relnotes/13.0: note changed AES-NI identification by geli A user on IRC wondered why his AES-NI-enabled CPU was identified by geli as "Crypto: accelerated software" on a 13.0-RC, when 12.2 identified it as "Crypto: hardware". To help alliviate this confusion, make explicit mention of the change. While here, also add note to clear up confusion about no functional change.
