<li>Introduced <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/kstat">kstat(1)</a>, a subsystem to allow the kernel to expose statistics to userland.

<li>Added kstat to <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cnmac">cnmac(4)</a>.

<li>Added support for remote coverage to <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/kcov">kcov(4)</a>.

<li>Moved <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sysctl">sysctl(2)</a> CTL_DEBUG from DEBUG to the new DEBUG_SYSCTL.

<li>Moved <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.2">sysctl(2)</a> CTL_DEBUG from DEBUG to the new DEBUG_SYSCTL.

<li>Prevented creation of bogus <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sd">sd(4)</a> devices for <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/nvme">nvme(4)</a> namespaces which are configured but have size 0.

<li>Added READ(12)/WRITE(12) support to <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cd">cd(4)</a>.

<li>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.

Line 123

<li>Provided an optimized implementation of <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ffs">ffs(3)</a> in the kernel on arm64/powerpc/powerpc64.

<li>Rewrote m88k mutex code as a slight variation of the MI mutex code, potentially improving stability and rendering mutex spinning time visible in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/top">top(1)</a>.

<li>Reworked kernel loading with octboot, the OpenBSD/octeon bootloader, which now does not rely on a mounted filesystem.

<li>Ensured <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scsi">scsi(4)</a> devices do not attempt to process bogus MODE SENSE data.

<li>Ensured <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scsi.4">scsi(4)</a> devices do not attempt to process bogus MODE SENSE data.

</ul>

<li>Various new userland features:

Line 142

<li>Added the ability to set and display <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/video">video(1)</a> control values directly on the CLI.

<li>Allowed the combination of <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/video">video(1)</a> "-dc" options, reset and display control values.

<li>Added <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/video">video(1)</a> white balance temperature control through w/W keys.

<li>Added control for backlight compensation to <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/video">video(4)</a>.

<li>Added control for backlight compensation to <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/video.4">video(4)</a>.

<li>Initialized v4l2_requestbuffers for libv4l compatibility, allowing view of video encodings not directly supported by <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/video">video(1)</a>.

<li>Added a new column to <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wsfontload">wsfontload(8)</a> -l output to report the number of characters contained in a loaded font.

<li>Relaxed filename checks in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/syspatch">syspatch(8)</a> to allow use of hyphens.

Line 213

<li>Introduced <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/abl">abl(4)</a>, a new driver to control the backlight brightness on Intel-based Apple machines, and allowed it to be controlled through <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wsconsctl">wsconsctl(8)</a>.

<li>Disabled <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/acpivout">acpivout(4)</a> brightness control on machines aware of Windows 8, enabling inteldrm to handle brightness ioctls.

<li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/eeprom">eeprom(8)</a> error when setting variables on macppc.

<li>Updated <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/drm">drm(4)</a> to Linux 5.7.19.

<li>Updated <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/drm.4">drm(4)</a> to Linux 5.7.19.
