March 2014. This is the first of four reports planned for
2014.</p>
<!-- XXX: Add introduction -->
<p>The first quarter of 2014 was, again, a hectic and
productive time for &os;. The Ports team released their
landmark first quarterly <q>stable</q> branch. &os; continues
to grow on the ARM architecture, now running on an ARM-based
ChromeBook. SMP is now possible on multi-core ARM systems.
bhyve, the native &os; hypervisor, continues to improve. An
integral test suite is taking shape, and the Jenkins Continuous
Integration system has been implemented. &os; patches to GCC
are being <q>forward-ported</q>, and LLDB, the Clang/LLVM
debugger is being ported. Desktop use has also seen
improvements, with work on Gnome, KDE, Xfce, KMS video drivers,
X.org, and <tt>vt</tt>, the new console driver which supports
KMS and Unicode. Linux and Wine binary compatibility layers
have been improved. UEFI booting support has been merged to
head. The &os; Foundation continues to assist in moving &os;
forward, sponsoring conferences and meetings and numerous
development projects. And these are only some of the things
that happened! Read on for even more.</p>
