<title>Introduction</title>
<p>This report covers &os;-related projects between April and
June 2014. This is the second of four reports planned for
2014.</p>
<?ignore
<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>
?>
<p>Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! This
report contains 1 entry and we hope you enjoy reading it.</p>
<p>The deadline for submissions covering between July and
September 2014 is October 7th, 2014.</p>

<p>The so-called "CUSE4BSD" has been imported into the base
system of &os;-11. CUSE is short for character device in
userspace. The CUSE library is a wrapper for the devfs(8)
kernel functionality which is exposed through /dev/cuse. In
order to function the CUSE kernel code must either be enabled
in the kernel configuration file or loaded separately as
a module. Follow the commit message link to get more
information.
