      <li>[Not written yet]
      </ul>
  <p>
+ <li>Major performance and stability improvements in the package build process
+     <ul>
+     <li>downloading of distfiles is simpler, can resume interrupted download,
+     discover file moves, and expire old files. Distfiles mirror sites now use
+     the new and improved method.
+     <li>dependency handling during ports build and package creation is at least
+     twice as fast, twenty times as fast in pathological cases. This also affects
+     user scripts such as out-of-date
+     <li>more checks are done during package builds, for increased user friendliness
+     <li>the long term process of documenting the infrastructure is now 100% done.
+     <li>The distributed ports builder (dpb) can now clean up old dependencies,
+     thus helping package builds be more reproducible.
+     This found tens of hidden build dependencies in the ports tree already.
+     <li>the semantics of pkg_add -a have been nailed down and a few minor bugs
+     have been fixed.
+     <li>arch-dependent issues are better classified, leading to better builds on
+     old architectures in some complicated cases. In particular, dpb explicitly
+     purges from memory info about packages it cannot build and stuff that 
+     depends on it, leading to better life on sparc and vax which have very
+     small data-size limits.
+     <li>dpb recognizes full builds and trims some duplicate package builds
+     </ul>
+ <p>
  <li>Assorted improvements:
      <ul>
      <li>Improved locale support.
***************
*** 130,136 ****
      <li>Improved correctness of execing, coredumping, signal delivery, alternate signal stacks, blocking socket accepts(), mutexes and condition variables, per-thread errno, symbol binding, and ktracing when rthreads are in use.
      <li>Architecture-independent kernel support for thread-control-block handling for rthreads.
      <li>Small improvements to Linux compat (only available on i386).
-     <li>Many improvements to the dpb tool used for bulk ports builds and distfile mirroring.
      </ul>
  <p>
  <li>Install/Upgrade process changes:
