Thanks to Anon Ymous [christos 20061021] 132 acorn32: Standard kernels now use the machine-independent sec(4) 133 and ei(4) drivers for Acorn SCSI Expansion Cards and 134 Ethernet 1 cards respectively, in place of asc(4) and ie(4). 135 [bjh21 20061022] 136 puffs: Integrate Pass-to-Userspace Framework File System, which 137 can be used to build userspace file system servers 138 [pooka 20061022] 139 hpcarm: Add timecounter support and convert to MI todr(9). 140 [peter 20061023] 141 less: Updated to version 394. [mrg 20061025] 142 i386: The support for the Multiboot Specification no longer relies 143 on the a.out kludge which means that a stock GRUB (without 144 custom patches) can be used to successfully boot the kernel. 145 [jmmv 20061025] 146 file(1): update to 4.18. [pooka 20061031] 147 puc(4): Add support for Perle PCI-RAS 4 port multimodem [manu 20061101] 148 rum(4): Added driver for Ralink 2501/2601 USB 802.11a/b/g 149 devices from OpenBSD. [joerg 20061101] 150 gkermit(1): Add gkermit, which is a program for transferring 151 files using the Kermit protocol. gkermit has no 152 interactive commands, no scripting, and no ability to 153 make connections. [apb 20061101] 154 i386: Change GENERIC, GENERIC.MP, GENERIC.MPACPI, GENERIC_LAPTOP, 155 INSTALL, INSTALL.MP, INSTALL_LAPTOP, and DISKLESS kernels 156 so that they are smaller and faster by removing support 157 for actual i386 CPUs (which lack write protection in 158 supervisor mode, which requires a costly workaround) and 159 math coprocessor emulation. Coprocessor emulation is 160 retained in the LAPTOP kernels, but not in the others. 161 Where it is known that a configuration cannot be run 162 with particular CPUs (i486 in *MP kernels) remove that 163 support as well. Compile all kernels with appropriate 164 architecture and tuning flags (reduces size, makes things 165 faster). Those requiring support for machines with i386 166 CPU or lacking coprocessor can use the *SMALL or *TINY 167 kernels. [tls 20061101] 168 useradd(8): Change the default shell for newly added users to 169 /bin/sh. [pavel 20061102] 170 tmpfs: NFS support is now complete. At the very least, all the 171 relevant tmpfs regression tests pass successfully when 172 executed over a remote tmpfs mounted through NFS. 173 [jmmv 20061105] 174 tmpfs: Add a LKM for this file system. [jmmv 20061105] 175 postfix: Updated to 2.3.4 [rpaulo 20061107] 176 macppc: use accelerated wsdisplay drivers [macallan 20061107] 177 evbarm: Add support for Certance CP-3100 [scw 20061108] 178 tmpfs: Audit kqueue notifications and add several regression 179 tests for them. [jmmv 20061109] 180 vnd: Make this work with files stored on file systems without 181 the bmap and strategy operations. This includes tmpfs 182 and smbfs. [jmmv 20061109] 183 paxctl: Enable as a tool, and add make rules to run paxctl on 184 binaries to what PROG_PAX is set. [christos 20061110] 185 lfs_cleanerd: Move from /usr/libexec to /libexec so that the 186 root file system can be safely placed on a LFS volume. 187 [jmmv 20061110] 188
