   <li>Various <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=lge&sektion=4">lge(4)</a>
   driver fixes, which turned it from a completely useless to a working driver,
   now in GENERIC.
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tcpdump&sektion=8">tcpdump(8)</a>,
   add a "best effort" MPLS decoder - since the protocol info is not always available
   in the tag, a "guess" is done.
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vfs&sektion=9">vfs(9)</a>,
   undo a very old change which was never quite finished, and could
   cause severe corruption in the buffer lists by removing a buffer
   from the hash twice.
   <li>Fix msdos filesystem corruption when moving a directory under
   a new parent.
   <li>Sync to Intel's latest
   <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=em&sektion=4">em(4)</a>
   driver, which adds support for the 82571 and 82572 PCI Express chips.
   <li>Add Spanning Tree Protocol support to
   <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pcap&sektion=3">pcap(3)</a>.
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=iwi&sektion=4">iwi(4)</a>,
   use firmware extended scan command (which doesn't crash) and enable
   802.11a scanning for 2915ABG adapters.
   <li>In ext2fs, use part of the reserved space on the disk inode to scatter
   16 more bits for the UID/GID, making them 32-bit.
   <li>Make <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mg&sektion=1">mg(1)</a>
   undo much more emacs-like and correct.
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ksh&sektion=1">ksh(1)</a>,
   introduce mknod as a built-in, which has significant speed gains in MAKEDEV.
   <li>Add <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cardbus&sektion=4">cardbus(4)</a>/
   <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pcmcia&sektion=4">pcmcia(4)</a>
   support for AMD64.
   <li>Add multicast routing to GENERIC, now it can be enabled/disabled
   using the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl&sektion=8">sysctl(8)</a>
   interface.
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=vfs&sektion=9">vfs(9)</a>,
   make the syncer grab a reference for the vnode it uses, to avoid it from
   being reclaimed while in this sensitive time frame.  This fixes the
   sched_sync: fsync failed panic often seen on MP machines.
   <li>Add <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipmi&sektion=4">ipmi(4)</a>,
   a driver for the Intelligent Platform Management Interface, an
   autonomous monitoring and recovery mechanism implemented directly in
   platform management hardware and firmware.
   <li>Bump max array size in
   <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ksh&sektion=1">ksh(1)</a>,
   needed for MAKEDEV speed-ups.
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=lndir&sektion=1">lndir(1)</a>,
   ignore the "special" .#* files left over by cvs/emacs.
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ami&sektion=4">ami(4)</a>,
   eliminate possible I/O failures caused by ioctl/raw commands.
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=trunk&sektion=4">trunk(4)</a>,
   add a simple active "failover" trunk mode.
   <li>In <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hardclock&sektion=9">hardclock(9)</a>,
   fix a race condition in process exit, which caused freed
   memory to be left referenced in the master kernel timeout worklist,
   leading to a possible uvm_fault crash.
   <li>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>,
   fix a problem in packet enqueue function which prevented dhcpd to work
   in standalone AP mode (without bridging).
 <li>OpenCVS: work keeps going, now with the help of cloudy weather  <li>OpenCVS: work keeps going, now with the help of cloudy weather
 in the Caribbean!  in the Caribbean!
