   ``_LIBCPP_ABI_USE_CXX03_NULLPTR_EMULATION`` will not be honoured anymore and there
   will be no way to opt back into the C++03 emulation of ``std::nullptr_t``.
 
+- On FreeBSD, NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD, ``std::random_device`` is now implemented on top of
+  ``arc4random()`` instead of reading from ``/dev/urandom``. Any implementation-defined
+  token used when constructing a ``std::random_device`` will now be ignored instead of
+  interpreted as a file to read entropy from.
