The branch main has been updated by debdrup: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/doc/commit/?id=3cce9c309963a640877ae90da195f68d8d7c7327 commit 3cce9c309963a640877ae90da195f68d8d7c7327 Author: M. Bueker <m.bueker@berlin.de> AuthorDate: 2021-03-22 22:08:06 +0000 Commit: Daniel Ebdrup Jensen <debdrup@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2021-03-22 22:12:16 +0000 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.
