improvements, including the ability to show thread IDs and dumping of timespec, timeval, sigaction, rlimit, sigset, clockid, and fdset arguments and results.

reliability fixes, new MTA client, new scheduler and improved queue logic, simplified
! smtpd.conf(5)
syntax, better RFC compliance and several cosmetic changes.

- The mg(1)
emacs-like editor now supports cscope functionality.
Also, backup files can now be saved to a user's home directory in addition to the current working directory.
!

!
- Improved emacs-style key bindings and handling of large arrays in ksh(1).
!

!
- Improvements to parallel make(1): added the .CHEAP and .EXPENSIVE special targets and fixed glitches in already-rebuilt logic.
!
- The libusb package is able to access non-ugen(4) devices for some operations, allowing e.g. programming YubiKeys with a standard kernel.

a history of pane layouts,
simple output rate limiting, and
custom formats (-F) have been extended and are now accepted by more commands.
!

!
- disklabel(8) does a better job of calculating physical memory during partition auto-allocation of devices with non-512 byte sectors.

- Improved FAT media handling: autorecognize such media even if the 0x55aa signature is missing and prevent the writing of an OpenBSD disklabel over the FAT data structures.
- The MS-DOS FAT filesystem implementation gained a significant write speedup for large files (up to twice as fast).

port upon which the incoming connection was received via LocalAddress and
LocalPort clauses.

back off for a while.
!
- sshd(8) and
! ssh(1):
Remove hmac-sha2-256-96 and hmac-sha2-512-96 MACs as they were removed from
the specification. (bz#2023)
