+- In the ahc(4) driver a
bus_space_barrier(9) is used beforehand a plain bus_space_read_1(9) to force a barrier, as the latter alone turned out to be insufficient.
+
+ - The wscons(4)-specific configuration of Xserver(1) uses the "macintosh" xkb model on adb(4/macppc) keyboards.
+
- daily(8) gets another update and will ignore commented out (#) lines in fstab(5) during /altroot handling.
+
+
- traceroute6(8) learns the -A option, which can be used to look up the AS number for each hop address. (Uses the DNS service described at http://www.team-cymru.org/Services/ip-to-asn.html.)
+
- The kernel ensures that DUIDs are only interpreted on disks.
+
- A major rewrite of the pf(4) manpage example shows a usage-case of
DIOCGETLIMIT (instead of DIOCNATLOOK).
+
+ - The new -T option to pkill(1)/pgrep(1) can be used to restrict matches to processes associated with the specified routing tables.
+
- OpenSSH 6.0 leaves -beta state.
+
- aucat(1) cranks the default buffers size to 160ms (7680 frames at 48kHz) to avoid the audio stuttering that some users have observed during high load.
+
- The
POOL_DEBUG kernel option (not in options(4)) is turned off for the release: Note that POOL_DEBUG is not the same as it was in 4.9 or earlier. In either case you can turn it on again using sysctl(8) kern.pool_debug=1.
+ - Atmel AT91 CDC ACM becomes known to umodem(4).
+

- quotacheck(8) gets far more flexible as it now uses realpath(3) and opendev(3) to utilize fstab(5) and command line arguments.
+
- The automatic daily(8) /altroot backup will now also work with a duid-based fstab(5).
+
- In jme(4) it was possible to simplify
jme_newbuf() as M_DONTWAIT "failures" during driver initialization would indicate a more general problem anyway.
+ - A recent extension of the kqueue code of event(3) fires read events when kqueue returns
EBADF and several other things, particularly EPIPE on a file descriptor. The EBADF cause however is reverted again due to problems with Google Chrome.
+
+ - The Xserver(1) build is disabled on the hp300 and mac68k ports: Building the Xserver with gcc 2.95 is getting hopeless and there is not enough manpower at the moment to switch these platforms to a more recent compiler.
+
- OpenBSD 5.1 leaves -beta status!
+
- The nc(1) manpage gets an extended CAVEAT section.
+
+
- In Xenocara the update of xf86-video-ati to 6.14.3 is reverted after regressions have been seen.
+
- The tsearch(3) function is patched to match the corrected POSIX standard behaviour (which clarifies the return value of
tdelete(3)).
+ - tmux(1) gains a fix which avoids accessing a
NULL pointer.
+ - pkg_add(1) gains a fix which avoids accessing an undefined package list.
- Improve pf(4) ICMPv6 direction check.
- Do not insert an empty ENTRY into the man(1) manpath list; was causing out-of-bounds array access.
