This file is intended to keep track of important kernel and user
changes in FreeBSD between releases.
- Added a new 'wd' driver which does a much better job of probing, handles
stray interrupts better, and supports multiple controllers
- Fixed various swap 'leaks' and significantly improved paging
performance. (davidg/dyson)
- Add XNTPD to contrib section, and (un-compilable) kernel support for
same to /sys/kern. (wollman)
- Use linker-constructed sets to initialize certain system tables
rather than manually enumerating all the options in the source files.
This makes certain pseudo-devices and all image activators drop-in at
link time, if desired. (wollman)
- Make all mandatory options ``standard''. (wollman)
- Re-design execve() system call to allow for multiple ``image activators''
which recognize and load various file formats. Currently only
a.out and interpreted formats are recognized. (davidg)
- Separate all IP-related variables that users might want to modify into
netinet/in_var.c. (wollman)
- Update to latest ADO timezone code, and update some timezone files beyond
that. (wollman, ache, Adam David)
- Added support in the if_ed driver for the Toshiba ethernet cards.The
support must be enabled with an "options TOSH_ETHER" in the config
file. Done it this way, because i don't know how widespread this cards
