   <li>Support setting the MTU on <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ex&arch=vax&sektion=4">ex(4)</a>.
   <li>Improvements to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=san&sektion=4">san(4)</a>: make tcpdump work, make ppp mode work, use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ifconfig&sektion=8">ifconfig(8)</a> mediaopts to switch between ppp and cHDLC modes.
   <li>Avoid a vclean deadlock in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mount_procfs&sektion=8">procfs</a>.
   <li>Make sure all wireless drivers check <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ioctl&sektion=2">ioctl(2)</a> permissions in a consistent fashion.
   <li>In NFS, manage nfsreq objects with <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pool&sektion=9">pool(9)</a>. Allows more control over resource consumption.
   <li>Implement command execution when limits are exceeded in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sensorsd&sektion=8">sensorsd(8)</a>. Send email if your computer catches fire.
   <li>Report cache size for amd CPUs. Only try to enable PowerNow if processor supports it.
   <li>Handle burst size of 64 in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hme&sektion=4">hme(4)</a>.
   <li>Improve booting speed by only retrying SCSI commands when they are likely to succeed.
   <li>Support antenna selection for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral&sektion=4">ral(4)</a>.
   <li>Sync RF and BBP code in <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral&sektion=4">ral(4)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ural&sektion=4">ural(4)</a>, for later merging.

   <li>Install known issuers CA bundle to /etc/ssl/cert.pem so browsers using libssl don't bitch about certs signed by these issuers.
   <li>Change <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=quota&sektion=1">quota(1)</a> so it means KBytes when it says KBytes and blocks when it says blocks.
   <li>Disable write gathering for NFSv3.  Big performance boost.

This lets <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ps&sektion=1">ps(1)</a> output make more sense.
