• Beginning of macppc crashdump support added, as well as much more macppc SMP progress.
• Various lge(4) driver fixes, which turned it from a completely useless to a working driver, now in GENERIC.
• In tcpdump(8), add a "best effort" MPLS decoder - since the protocol info is not always available in the tag, a "guess" is done.
• In vfs(9), 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.
• Fix msdos filesystem corruption when moving a directory under a new parent.
• Sync to Intel's latest em(4) driver, which adds support for the 82571 and 82572 PCI Express chips.
• Add Spanning Tree Protocol support to pcap(3).
• In iwi(4), use firmware extended scan command (which doesn't crash) and enable 802.11a scanning for 2915ABG adapters.
• 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.
• Make mg(1) undo much more emacs-like and correct.
• In ksh(1), introduce mknod as a built-in, which has significant speed gains in MAKEDEV.
• Add cardbus(4)/ pcmcia(4) support for AMD64.
• Add multicast routing to GENERIC, now it can be enabled/disabled using the sysctl(8) interface.
• In vfs(9), 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.
• Add ipmi(4), a driver for the Intelligent Platform Management Interface, an autonomous monitoring and recovery mechanism implemented directly in platform management hardware and firmware.
• Bump max array size in ksh(1), needed for MAKEDEV speed-ups.
• In lndir(1), ignore the "special" .#* files left over by cvs/emacs.
• In ami(4), eliminate possible I/O failures caused by ioctl/raw commands.
• In trunk(4), add a simple active "failover" trunk mode.
• In hardclock(9), 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.
• In ral(4) and ural(4), fix a problem in packet enqueue function which prevented dhcpd to work in standalone AP mode (without bridging).
• OpenCVS: work keeps going, now with the help of cloudy weather in the Caribbean!
• In hostapd(8), implement a way to match IEEE 802.11 flooding, which helps detect known DoS attacks.
• Beginning stages for macppc G5 support!
• In vfs(9), sync dirty data when going from read-write to read-only, fixes crashes.
• In uvm_map(9), grab a fresh page using the uvm_km_page allocator instead of calling panic() when running out of static kernel map entries.
• In umodem(4), add support for nokia 6680 with a ca-42 cable.
• In axe(4), enable support for gigabit adapters; only works reliably with USB1 for now.
• More ld.so(1) fixes: fully unload dependant libraries, fixes bug exhibited with gphoto2.
• In ehci(4), force takeover of host ports after hibernate/resume, otherwise devices will incorrectly attach to the companion controller.
• In atw(4), handle needed operations specially to make ADM8211B devices work.
• Only allow root to run tcpdump(8), it's needed for the chroot security.
• In art(4), notify sppp about link state changes, which fixes PPP encoding.
• In ath(4), remove the very basic rate control implementation and use rssadapt(9) instead.
• In ftp(1), add the ability to disable EPSV/EPRT from the command line.
• In cd(4), add missing parenthesis which can problems with devices not supporting TEST UNIT READY.
• Improve bgpd(8) IPv6 support.
• In iwi(4), add initial bits for IBSS support and fix association with APs not broadcasting their SSIDs.
• Make ppp(8) RFC 2472 compliant and fix various IPv6 problems as well as improve radius support.
• In ath(4), don't attach unsupported radio chipsets.
• Fix initialisation of net.inet.udp.baddynamic.
• Add amd64 fdc(4) floppy support.
• Correctly close raid(4) devices which fixes crashes.
• More OpenCVS improvements, RCS keyword expansion now works for all keywords except $Log$.
• Change rpc.rstatd(8), yppush(8), ypserv(8) to use poll() instead of select().
• In ld.so(1), rework symbol lookup to more closely match sun's documentation and treat dlopens as load groups. Also cleanly handle the case where a dynamic object is opened, but one of it's dependent libraries is missing. Do not promote DT_NEEDED libs to RTLD_GLOBAL when being dlopen'ed. A few other simplifications and behaviour improvements and regression tests to match.
• Make ospfd(8) correctly handle loopback interfaces and other fixes.
• Allow ptrace(2) to follow fork(2) with PTRACE_FORK.
• Support ATI IXP 200/300/400 pciide(4) controllers.
• In ieee80211_input(9) and family, replace node hash table with red-black tree. Fixes some bugs in the node table, hash collisions are no longer a possibility, and it simplifies things.
• In mountd(8), fix a NFS race when mounting filesystems on nfs servers.
• X.Org fix for a buffer overrun observed as a crash by eclipse users, also fix a possible integer overflow in pixmap creation code.
• In sd(4), fake geometry for all UMASS devices since it's almost always fictitious, reported to fix various devices.
• In sasyncd(8), fix transfers of very large SA/SPD snapshots.
• Make xargs(1) POSIX compliant, make it run programs even when zero arguments are specified.
• In trunk(4), add multicast, VLAN support and various improvements.
• In gem(4), program the MAC address correctly into the card after it has been changed, e.g. by ifconfig(1).
• In shutdown(2), return ENOTCONN if a socket is unconnected.
• Change hostapd(8) to use red-black trees for the node tables instead of hash tables.
• In ath(4), fix a possible division by zero.
• In ath(4)@pci, allocate memory for the right structure, which fixes possible page faults.
• In bgpd(8), reload sessions every time the capabilities change.
• An sd(4) fix for a case where free(NULL, ...) was possible and lead to a crash.
• In umidi(4), fix corruption to multi-byte MIDI messages when a single real time byte is inserted.
• Fix two hppa hardware erratas.
• Teach file(1) about the flac audio format.
• Many mvme88k improvements.
• Make m4(1) SusV3-compliant and add various regression tests.
• OpenCVS: add support for the CVS/Tag file writing/parsing, fix corrupt Entry files, various other improvements.
• In pf(4), fix the DIOCCHANGERULE ioctl to properly initialize the NAT table, only affects custom programs using this ioctl.
• In pciide(4), change matching code to only look at the PCI ID and ignoring the PCI class, enabling some mass storage devices to work.
• Many pkg_add(1) improvements including -u option enabled now which automatically will update all installed packages.
