1.29 deraadt 21: This is a partial list of the major machine independent changes
22: (ie. these are the changes people ask about most often). Port
23: specific changes have also been made, and are sometimes mentioned
24: in the pages for the specific <a href=plat.html>ports</a> if you
1.392 deraadt 25: are interested in further port-specific details. Many ports
1.29 deraadt 26: have had architecture-specific enhancements relative to NetBSD,
27: but when they do not they certainly have plenty of platform-independent
28: changes, starting with those listed below..
