 <ul>  <ul>
   <li>Fixes to the ray(4) driver.
   <li>Fix -H option in sudo(8).
   <li>Disable pcmcia(4) handling of non-CIS cards, since there are many bugs in it.
   <li>Document many afs(4) configuration files.
   <li>Fix a modify-after-free bug in tcp(4).
   <li>Attempt to have ld(1) and ld.so(1) deal better with C++ shared libraries on the i386.
   <li>Document what sendmail(8) now does on port 587.
   <li>Deal with more non-compliant PHY setups in mii(4).
   <li>cmpci(4) driver for C-Media CMI8x38 Audio Chip present on several motherboards.
   <li>Support ext2fs properly.
   <li>ssh(1), sshd(8), and companions now support SSH 2 protocol as well as SSH 1 protocol!
   <li>Various additions and improvements in tcpdump(8).
   <li>libpcap 0.5.
   <li>Support jumbo frames in the fxp(4) models which support it.
   <li>Add support for the RCC ServerWorks pcbh(4) which has additional pci(4) bridges on it.   Huge PC's with 6+ pci busses now work fine.
   <li>On the i386, fix an errata relating to the Intel 82443BX pchb(4).
   <li>Various changes related to vlan(4) support.
   <li>Add a sysexits(3) man page.
   <li>getaddrinfo(3) and getnameinfo(3) improvements, repairs, and greater care.
   <li>Start of the vax port resurrection.
   <li>Fix more i386 isadmaattach bugs.  At least 2GB of memory on an i386 now works.
   <li>Avoid divide by zero in igmp networking code.
   <li>In mail(1), make "new" count after an "inc" command reflect the new messages, as in SunOS.
   <li>ktrace(2) no longer follows symbolic links.
   <li>Repair adosfs(4).
   <li>The damned hifn(4) always dealing with aligned data causes even more of a fuss.
   <li>Repair a few hifn(4) bugs that slipped in recently.
   <li>Fix ipsec(4) for big-endian machines again.
   <li>Omit RC5 from ssl(3).
   <li>userinfo(8), userdel(8), useradd(8), groupmod(8), usermod(8), groupdel(8), groupadd(8), and groupinfo(8) commands added.
   <li>mii(4) detach support, needed by xe(4).
   <li>Fix promiscuous mode in xe(4).
   <li>Fix order of interrupt disabling for pcmcia(4) disabling; much more reliable.
   <li>Wait a bit longer after enabling pcmcia(4) cards; more pcmcia(4) cards now work.
   <li>Fix dump calculations in the i386 kernel crash dump code.
   <li>More careful dmesg(1) handling in the install script.
   <li>pcmcia(4) ep(4) now supports 3C1 and 3CCFEM556BI.
   <li>Repair a bug in fdalloc() that caused a panic in dup(2).  This bug was introduced by the recent file descriptor allocation optimizations.
   <li>Support DOSPTYP_EXTENDL partitions in the kernel disklabel reader.
   <li>In ld(1), avoid duplicates in search path.
   <li>Support RFC2732 IPv6 address literal URLs in ftp(1).
   <li>Improve makewhatis(8) again, using new parts of perl(1) 5.6.0.
   <li>Fix a bug in at(1).
   <li>Add -keyfile and -authkeyfile options to ipsecadm(8).
   <li>Significant manual page improvements, as is usual just before a release.
   <li>Use fgetln(3) instead of fgets(3) in mail.local(8), and thus avoid header mangling.
   <li>Support for /etc/rc.conf.local, as documented in rc.conf(8).
   <li>https support in lynx(1).
   <li>Add CPAN File::Temp for perl(1) versions of mkstemp(3) and such.
   <li>Fix the vi recover script to be safe for multiuser running (needed O_NOFOLLOW).
   <li>Move apm into a kernel thread, so that filesystem syncing is less likely to block and cause panics.  suspending just got a lot more reliable.
   <li>For open(2), support O_FSYNC better.
   <li>For open(2), add a O_NOFOLLOW flag for dealing with symbolic links.  This should not be used by generic software -- only use this for very rare and specific problems.
   <li>traceroute(8) gets a new option, -f skips early node checks.
   <li>Fix "freeing free block" panics.
   <li>Support /etc/resolv.conf.tail, as documented in dhclient-script(8).

   <li>Have ahc(4) support Adaptec 2930U2.
   <li>Revert to up-to-date ipf man pages, but ugly as sin.  Everyone remind kjell to finish this job, ok?
   <li>When fragmenting a packet in ip_output(), inherit the multicast and broadcast flags so that link layer can choose the right address.
 <li>Use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getifaddrs&sektion=3&format=html">getifaddrs(3)</a> in libpcap.  <li>Use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getifaddrs&sektion=3&format=html">getifaddrs(3)</a> in libpcap.
