<li>Implement battery management with sysctl(8)

hw.battery.chargemode, hw.battery.chargestop and hw.battery.chargestart.

<li>Correct undefined behavior when using MS-DOS filesystems, fixes imported from FreeBSD.

<li>Make the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fstab.5">softdep</a>

<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mount.8">mount(8)</a> option a no-op.

Softdep was a significant impediment to improving the vfs layer.

making eMMC and microSD mostly work on the Starfive VisionFive 2.

<li>Add driver <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/qccpu.4">qccpu(4)</a>

for QC CPU Power States.

<li>Add support for the RK3588 PCIe3 PHY to rkpciephy(4). The PHY controls

4 lanes that can be routed to 4 of 5 PCIe controllers.

<li>Add mute control to sncodec(4). This makes the mute button on laptops that use sncodec(4) work.

<li>New or improved network hardware support:

<li>Provide byte and packet counter statistics in some

<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dwge.4">dwge(4)</a> implementations.

<li>On bge(4), make hardware counters available via kstats for

BCM5705 and newer controller chips.

<li>Added or improved wireless network drivers:

due to conflict on chosen source port number.

<li>Implement TCP send offloading, for now in software only. This is

meant as a fallback if network hardware does not support TSO.

<li>Use TSO and LRO on the loopback interface to transfer TCP faster,

<li>Use TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) and LRO (Large Receive Offload) on

the loopback interface to transfer TCP faster,

<li>Fix path MTU discovery for TCP LRO/TSO when forwarding.

when <code>tcplro</code> is activated on lo(4).

<li>pfsync(4) has been rewritten, in particular to improve locking.

This will help with progress on unlocking more of pf(4) and future

parallelisation of the network stack. The protocol is compatible with

the older version.

<li>Close all pf(4) transactions before opening a new one when

retrieving the ruleset. Fixes leaking transactions which can be

problematic when processes run a long time. Introduce a new ioctl

DIOCXEND in pf(4) so applications such as snmpd(8) and systat(1) can

safely retrieve rules.
