<h2>Release Highlights</h2>
<p>The highlights in the 7.3-RELEASE are the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The <b class="APPLICATION">ZFS</b> file system has been
updated to version 13. The changes include ZFS operations by a regular
user, L2ARC, ZFS Intent Log on separated disks (slog), sparse volumes,
and so on.</p></li>
<li><p>A lock handling error has been fixed in interaction between
<a

<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">malloc</span>(3)</span></a>
implementation and threading library. </p></li>
<li><p>A deadlock in the <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sched_ule&amp;sektion=4&amp;manpath=FreeBSD+7.3-stable">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">sched_ule</span>(4)</span></a>
scheduler has been fixed. </p></li>
<li><p>A new sysctl variable <code
class="VARNAME">security.bsd.map_at_zero</code> has been added
and set to <tt class="LITERAL">1</tt> (allow) by default. This
controls whether FreeBSD allows to map an object at the
address <tt class="LITERAL">0</tt>, which is part of the
user-controlled portion of the virtual address
space. Disabling this has some effect on preventing an attack
which injects malicious code into that location and triggers a
NULL pointer dereference in the kernel.</p></li>
<li><p>A new boot loader <tt class="LITERAL">gptzfsboot</tt>,
which supports GPT and ZFS has been added. <tt
class="LITERAL">zfsloader</tt>, the final boot loader similar
to <a

<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">loader</span>(8)</span></a> which
supports ZFS has been added.</p></li>
<li><p>[amd64, i386] CPU cache flushing has been optimized when
changing caching attributes of pages by doing nothing for CPUs that
support self-snooping and using <tt class="LITERAL">CLFLUSH</tt>
instead of a full cache invalidate when possible.</p></li>
<li><p>The <b class="APPLICATION">amdsbwd(4)</b> driver for AMD
SB600/SB7xx watchdog timer has been added.</p></li>
<li><p>[amd64, i386] The <a
