Line 68

<li>PCI aic7860 scsi support improved.

<li>Support .group entries in /etc/passwd.conf

<li>Repair some bugs in mail(1), especially regarding signal handling.

<li>Always skip the first 8KB of all swap partitions (hint: disklabels & bootblocks)

<li>The df(1) utility now has a human-readable "-h" option.

<li>For the first time ever, an obj@ populated /usr/src tree compiles cleanly when mounted read-only.

<li>Various man page fixes.

Line 87

<li>More buffer overflows, but none in sensitive programs.

<li>Fixed some more mktemp races (sigh, will this ever end!)

<li>Add support for YP v1 to ypserv.

<li>Add md5 & blowfish passwd support to adduser(8).

<li>Numerous more pax/tar fixes.

<li>16 partition support for the alpha port.

Line 133

<li>fix some more memory and file descriptor leaks in libc/rpc

<li>Fix so that stack limits which are not a multiple of the pagesize work.

<li>Fix a few netinet kernel crash problems.

<li>Fix pax & tar to be POSIX compliant.

<li>add RPC service name generation to netstat -a

<li>Make dd(1) work fine with our 64-bit off_t types, now you can copy very large disks using it.

<li>Improved NFS filehandle creation.

Line 154

<li>The <a href="alpha.html">Alpha</a> port and all its utilities now compiles using in-tree versions of all tools. Yipee!

<li>amd (the automounter) is now 64-bit and working on the alpha.

<li>Changed netinet IP_HDRINCL option to require ip_len and ip_off in network byte order. This is a compatibility/portability fix and we expect other BSD systems to eventually follow suit.

<li>Bug fixed that prevented bufpages/nbuf > 1 setups. This allows large buffer caches even when available kvm space is low, like for i386 & sparc.

<li>Some ypbind(8) tightening up, includes a method to specify a list of valid servers

<li>Completely in-tree <a href="powerpc.html">PowerPC</a> port for non-Apple hardware. This port requires nothing outside the in-tree development environment to build (except mkisofs for building distributions).

<li>A working fsirand.
