  • Introduced kstat(1), a subsystem to allow the kernel to expose statistics to userland.
  • Added kstat to cnmac(4).
  • Added support for remote coverage to kcov(4). !
  • Moved sysctl(2) CTL_DEBUG from DEBUG to the new DEBUG_SYSCTL.
  • Prevented creation of bogus sd(4) devices for nvme(4) namespaces which are configured but have size 0.
  • Added READ(12)/WRITE(12) support to cd(4).
  • Used READ(16)/WRITE(16) commands for disks large enough to require them to access the last sectors, fixing large 512E devices plugged into USB to ATA/ATAPI bridges which mistakenly use 4K sector addresses/sizes. --- 113,119 ----

  • Provided an optimized implementation of ffs(3) in the kernel on arm64/powerpc/powerpc64.
  • Rewrote m88k mutex code as a slight variation of the MI mutex code, potentially improving stability and rendering mutex spinning time visible in top(1).
  • Reworked kernel loading with octboot, the OpenBSD/octeon bootloader, which now does not rely on a mounted filesystem. !
  • Ensured scsi(4) devices do not attempt to process bogus MODE SENSE data.
  • Various new userland features: --- 123,129 ----

  • Added the ability to set and display video(1) control values directly on the CLI.
  • Allowed the combination of video(1) "-dc" options, reset and display control values.
  • Added video(1) white balance temperature control through w/W keys. !
  • Added control for backlight compensation to video(4).
  • Initialized v4l2_requestbuffers for libv4l compatibility, allowing view of video encodings not directly supported by video(1).
  • Added a new column to wsfontload(8) -l output to report the number of characters contained in a loaded font.
  • Relaxed filename checks in syspatch(8) to allow use of hyphens. --- 142,148 ----

  • Introduced abl(4), a new driver to control the backlight brightness on Intel-based Apple machines, and allowed it to be controlled through wsconsctl(8).
  • Disabled acpivout(4) brightness control on machines aware of Windows 8, enabling inteldrm to handle brightness ioctls.
  • Fixed eeprom(8) error when setting variables on macppc. !
  • Updated drm(4) to Linux 5.7.19.
  • New or improved network hardware support:
