   In #OracleSolaris 11.4.72, setting the mountpoint of a #ZFS clone to 'clonedir' will now cause that clone to be mounted under the head filesystem's .zfs/clone directory. Doing a mkdir of a clone name in the .zfs/clone directory will create a snapshot of the dataset and then clone it. The zfs(8) man page was updated with more information.

     NFS mounts in #OracleSolaris 11.4.72 can now use the 'noresvport' option, similar to Linux, to use random port numbers above 1023 for connecting to NFS servers, which can be helpful when multiple #NFS clients are behind the same NAT gateway.

     Since no Solaris systems existed before 1970, the timestamp field in the lastlog, utmpx, and wtmpx files in #OracleSolaris 11.4.72 has been redefined as an unsigned 32-bit int, where it was previously signed. This moves the range of possible timestamps from 1901–2038 to 1970–2106. The core OS software has been modified to reflect this, but other software may need changes to handle timestamps in these files with the highest bit set as being post-2037 instead of pre-1970.
