    <title>branches:  1.331.16;<br/>Remove uscanner(4) driver<br/><br/>This exists for compatibility with a Linux interface which was apparently<br/>deprecated in Linux 2.6. There are various mailing list threads going<br/>back to 2004 where the usefulness of this driver is discussed, but<br/>the conclusion is that scanner software has all moved to using ugen(4)<br/>instead, and enabling this driver will not help you scan things.</title>

    <title>Remove uyap, USB YAP phone firmware loader.<br/><br/>And the associated ezload EZ-USB code, which is only used by uyap.<br/>It could theoretically be used by other drivers, but none of them are<br/>in tree.<br/><br/>I suspect that this device isn't in use, as phone technology has improved<br/>a lot since 2001 when uyap(4) was added to the tree.<br/><br/>Proposed with no objections on netbsd-users on 13 April 2020</title>

    <title>Remove uyurex(4).<br/><br/>This is a driver for a "nonsense machine" made by the art group Maywa-Denki<br/>in 2008. It was disabled by default.<br/><br/>Unfortunately even so it draws development attention (flaws found in the<br/>code, MP-ification needs) and it is best not to continue to maintain this<br/>driver.<br/><br/>Proposed without objections on tech-kern.</title>

    <title>branches:  1.321.2;<br/>Merge isaki-audio2 branch, the overhaul of audio subsystem.<br/>- Interrupt-oriented system rather than thread-oriented.<br/>- Improve stability, quality and performance.<br/>- Split playback and record cleanly.  Improve halfduplex support.<br/>- Many bugs are fixed including deadlocks, resource leaks, abuses, etc.<br/>- Simplify audio filter mechanism.  The encoding/channels/frequency<br/>  conversions are completely handled in the upper layer.  So the hard-<br/>  ware driver only converts its hardware encoding (if necessary).<br/>- audio_hw_if changes:<br/>  - Obsoletes query_encoding and add query_format instead.<br/>  - Obsoletes set_params and add set_format instead.<br/>  - Remove drain, setfd, mappage.<br/>  - The call sequences are changed.<br/>- ioctl AUDIO_GETFD/SETFD, AUDIO_GETCHAN/SETCHAN are obsoleted.<br/>- ioctl AUDIO_{QUERY,GET,SET}FORMAT are introduced.<br/>- cleanup config attributes: au*conv and mulaw.<br/>- All hardware drivers should follow it (I've done as much as possible).<br/><br/>Some file paths are changed:<br/>- dev/audio.c         -&gt; dev/audio/audio.c (rewritten)<br/>- dev/audiovar.h      -&gt; dev/audio/audiovar.h<br/>- dev/audio_dai.h     -&gt; dev/audio/audio_dai.h<br/>- dev/audio_if.h      -&gt; dev/audio/audio_if.h<br/>- dev/audiobell.c     -&gt; dev/audio/audiobell.c<br/>- dev/audiobellvar.h  -&gt; dev/audio/audiobellvar.h<br/>- dev/mulaw.[ch]      -&gt; dev/audio/mulaw.[ch] + dev/audio/alaw.c</title>

    <title>Retire the LMC driver, and its associated lmcconfig tool. LMC has been<br/>mentioned repeatedly as a non-MP-safe driver that is hard to maintain,<br/>and no one is taking care of it.<br/><br/>LMC was removed from OpenBSD three years ago, and from FreeBSD a few<br/>months ago.</title>

    <title>Remove ISDN from the kernel. It has remained unmaintained for a long time,<br/>is of poor quality, and is now an obstacle to MP-ification. It was removed<br/>ten years ago from FreeBSD for the same reason.<br/><br/>This retires a big user of the mbuf API, and will ease maintenance of the<br/>kernel.</title>
