   <!-- 2007/05/29 -->
   <li>Fix race in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=softraid&sektion=4&format=html">softraid(4)</a> sync code.
   <li>Added workarounds in the SHM code, fixes current opera with SHM.
   <li>Make i386 machines with APM not attach ACPI by default.
   <li>Improvements in the amd64 EST code for intel CPUs and support for CPU temperature sensors.
   <li>Update <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=disklabel&sektion=8&format=html">disklabel(8)</a> format to support larger disks and partitions.
   <!-- 2007/05/28 -->
   <li>Make <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ldd&sektion=1&format=html">ldd(1)</a> able to print dynamic linking information on libraries themselves.
   <li>New driver for the Sparc v215/245 front panel LEDs added to sparc64 GENERIC.
   <li>64-bit fixes in the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=softraid&sektion=4&format=html">softraid(4)</a> code.
   <li>Move <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=top&sektion=1&format=html">top(1)</a> to use curses instead of hand-crafted redraws.
   <li>Another <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4&format=html">pf(4)</a> speed improvement. Delay packet checksumming in the PF code until we are sure we need to send RST/ICMP error messages back, and only do it then.
   <li>Allow set-uid binaries to dump core into /var/crash if the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl&sektion=8&format=html">sysctl(8)</a> kern.nosuidcoredump is set to 2.
   <li>Remove support in boot for the long list of different kernel names to look for.
   <li>Removed unmaintained COMPAT_NETBSD code.
   <li>For <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fxp&sektion=4&format=html">fxp(4)</a>, nudge the interrupt coalescing timeout to 128 ms. Lessens the interrupt load on busy <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fxp&sektion=4&format=html">fxp(4)</a> cards a lot.
   <li>Small steps towards <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hoststated&sektion=8&format=html">hoststated(8)</a> reloads.
   <li>Fixes for the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=softraid&sektion=4&format=html">softraid(4)</a> disk assembly code. Not usable yet.
   <li>Improvement in the memory pool handling code, removing time from the pool header leads to better packet rates.
   <li>Add a global-wd-mode command to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mg&sektion=1&format=html">mg(1)</a>, which toggles between the current and the old behavior of one global working directory.
   <li>Enable interrupt holdoff on DP83816 <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sis&sektion=4&format=html">sis(4)</a> chips. Significally improves performance of such devices under load.
   <li>Allow <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bgpd&sektion=8&format=html">bgpd(8)</a> to match on communities using 0 in the AS path.
   <li>Large performance improvement for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4&format=html">pf(4)</a> by keeping information previously stored in a mbuf tag in the mbuf header directly.
   <li>Fix for sparc64 machine dependent code for autoconf, fixes panics seen on Sun v215 machines.
   <li>Add <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pcn&sektion=4&format=html">pcn(4)</a> to the macppc GENERIC and RAMDISK kernels.
   <li>Make the internal random pool seed only from network interrupts, not once per packet due to drivers using interrupt mitigation more now.
   <!-- 2007/05/27 -->
   <li>Remove support for the old Archive/Wangtek catridge tape driver, <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wt&sektion=4&format=html">wt(4)</a>.
   <li>Lots of internal work on the various <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=package&sektion=5&format=html">package(5)</a> utilities.
   <li>Clean up NFS and the nfssvc() system call, and remove old non-working kerberos code.
   <li>Second step of making <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hoststated&sektion=8&format=html">hoststated(8)</a> reload checked in.
   <li>Allow <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hoststated&sektion=8&format=html">hoststated(8)</a> to specify table templates in the configuration file and to inherit them from multiple services or relays.
