   <li>Various powerpc fixes, including further PIC support, and fix a kernel pmap crash.
   <li><font color=#e00000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX: In poll(2), constrain the <strong>nfds</strong> parameter better, so that kvm starvation is less likely. <a href=errata.html#poll>A patch is available</a></strong></font>.
   <li>Make at(1) easier to use next year (ie. Y2K issue).
   <li><font color=#e00000><strong>FUNCTIONALITY FIX: Fix TSS fault handling. <a href=errata.html#tss>A patch is available</a></strong></font>.
   <li>In the ncr(4) driver, disable tagged queuing by default.  Our filesystems and vfs layer is not prepared for this play-it-loose behaviour.

   <li>Add non-learning and non-discovery modes to the bridging code.
   <li>Many more man page fixes.

   <li>Many more non-standard isapnp devices.
   <li>On various architectures, more default swapgeneric swap devices.

   <li>Add find -W support for white-outs.
   <li>Brand new version of the isp(4) driver for SBUS and PCI.
   <li>Ensure that sb(4) devices have at least one drq; thus not falsely probing one particularily stupid isapnp sb-like device.
   <li>ncurses-4.2-990316
   <li>A nice ssl(8) man page.
   <li>Various changes to the ssl install, so that /etc/ssl contains nicer default files.
   <li>Various disklabel(8) improvements and bug fixes, so that our 2.5 release will be easier to install.
   <li>Bug fixes to the tx(4) driver.
   <li>In /etc/daily, do /tmp pruning with a <strong>find -x</strong> so that sub-mounts do not get trashed.
   <li>Add a f.startwm function to twm(1), so that it can start other window managers.
   
 <li>On sparc cypress cpus, do write-through instead of write-back caching.  <li>On sparc cypress cpus, do write-through instead of write-back caching.
