<p>VirtualBox 3.1.2 has been committed to the Ports tree.</p>
<p>Several changes to the port have been performed with this
update which include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Port has been renamed to virtualbox-ose to reflect that we
are now using the OSE version.</li>
<li>A seperate port for the kernel modules has been created
&mdash; virtualbox-ose-kmod.</li>
<li>A seperate port for guest additions for &os; guests has
been created &mdash; virtualbox-ose-additions.</li>
<li>Proper &os; support for PulseAudio has been added.</li>
<li>Procfs is not required anymore because vbox uses sysctl(3)
now.</li>
<li>Nox@'s &os; host networking patches have been added. They
are now also in the upstream vbox SVN (modulo vbox variable
naming style adjustments).</li>
<li>Allow direct tap networking again (for users that need the
best network performance and/or need more complex network
setups, like when they want to use routing instead of bridging
to e.g. protect guests from messing with the lan's arp tables;
a tap + routing + proxy arp example is in the above
freebsd-emulation@ posting.)</li>
<li>Enable vbox' shared mac feature when using bridged mode on
a wifi interface, together with the virtualbox-ose-kmod
change this should fix bridged mode for wifi users.</li>
<li>We would like to say thanks to all the people who helped us
by reporting bugs and submitting fixes. We also thank the
VirtualBox developers for their help with the ongoing effort
to port VirtualBox to &os;</li>

<p>BSDCan, a BSD conference held in Ottawa, Canada, has quickly
established itself as the technical conference for people
working on and with 4.4BSD based operating systems and related
projects. The organizers have found a fantastic formula that
appeals to a wide range of people from extreme novices to
advanced developers.</p>
<p>BSDCan 2010 will be held on 13-14 May 2010 at University of
Ottawa, and will be preceded by two days of Tutorials on 11-12
May 2010.</p>
<p>There will be related events (of a social nature, for the most
part) on the day before and after the conference.</p>
<p>Please check the conference web site for more information.</p>

<p>We are again able to build bootable i386/amd64 kernel. Nathan
Whitehorn commited a fix to &os; which enabled LLVM/clang to
work mostly fine on PowerPC. There is some preliminary testing
of LLVM/clang on ARM and MIPS being done. We have some ideas
about sparc64 support which are currently being investigated.
You are welcome to contact us if you want to help.</p>
<p>Since the last report a lot has happened mostly in the area of
C++, clang is currently able to build working groff, gperf and
devd, ie. all of the C++ apps we have in base. Unfortunatelly,
it still cannot build any of the C++ libraries &mdash; two of
them are missing builtins and libstdc++ is broken for other
reasons.</p>
<p>Not much happened in the clangbsd branch as we cannot upgrade
upgrade the clang/llvm there because we are blocked by a bug
that requires using newer assembler than we can ship. This
might be solved by either fixing this (short term) or using
llvm-mc instead of gnu as for assembling (longer term).</p>
