    - Improved our own pkg-config(1) implementation to make it compatible with freedesktop.org's 0.27.1 release. !
    - A number of improvements to the buffer cache and page daemon interactions to avoid issues in low memory/low kva situations.
    - Various bug fixes in uvm to avoid potential races and deadlock issues. !
    - Softdep speedup improvements by the revert of a previously necessary wokaround to prevent kva starvation. !

    - Threaded programs and libraries can now be linked with the POSIX-standard -lpthread flag instead of the OpenBSD-specific -pthread flag. !
