Note that some parts of the system are not 64-bit disk block clean yet, so partition larger than 2TB cannot be used at the moment. +

  • Thread support for the Objective-C library (libobjc).
  • carp route handling has been fixed, solving some problems the routing daemons were exhibiting *************** *** 206,217 **** increase performance drastically, stateful passing more than twice as fast than before

  • i386 TLB handling improved to avoid possible corruption on Core2Duo processors. +
  • i386 and amd64 use the BIOS disk geometry when creating default disklabels. +
  • default disk geometry changed from 64 heads/32 sectors to 255 heads/63 sectors. +
  • more usb devices with various quirks coaxed to work. +
  • Archive/Wangtek cartridge tape drives (wt*) no longer supported.
