- Move includes.nav*.sgml to share/sgml/navibar.ent and
<lang>/share/sgml/nabibar.l10n.ent.
- Move includes.sgml and includes.xsl to
share/sgml/common.ent, share/sgml/header.ent, <lang>/share/sgml/l10n.ent,
and <lang>?share/sgml/header.l10n.ent.
- Move most of XSLT libraries to share/sgml/*.xsl and
<lang>/share/sgml/*.xsl.
- Move news.xml and other *.xml files for the similar purpose
to share/sgml/*.xml and <lang>/share/sgml/*.xml.
- Switch to use a custom DTD for HTML document. Now we use
"-//FreeBSD//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional-Based Extension", which is
HTML 4.01 + some entities previously pulled via
"<!ENTITY % includes SYSTEM "includes.sgml"> %includes;" line.
The location of entity file will be resolved by using catalog file.
- Add DOCTYPE declearation to XML documents. This makes the followings
possible:
* Use of &foo; entities for SGML in an XML file instead of defining
{$foo} as the same content.
* &symbolic; entities for Latin characters.
- Duplicated information between SGML and XML, or English and
translated doc, has been removed as much as possible.

RELEASE NOTES
|
|
FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE VERSION
|
|
================================================================
|
|
|
|
What's new since 2.2.5
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Kernel features:
|
|
|
|
o Added support for SMC EtherPower II 10/100 Fast Ethernet card
|
|
(aka SMC9432TX based on SMC83c170 EPIC chip).
|
|
|
|
o Added support for DPT SCSI RAID controllers (see LINT).
|
|
|
|
o New Plug and Play (PnP) support that allows you to (re)configure
|
|
PnP devices. Also support modems being detected by the PnP
|
|
part and automatically attached.
|
|
|
|
o Alternate sound driver (/sys/i386/isa/snd) from Luigi Rizzo;
|
|
it does not yet support MIDI (for that, use the old sound
|
|
driver) but it does have much better support for PNP sound
|
|
cards and is much easier to configure (only one device).
|
|
See /sys/i386/conf/LINT for more info.
|
|
|
|
o Better Linux emulation (applications like RealVideo 5.0 for
|
|
Linux now work).
|
|
|
|
o Added support for ATAPI floppy drives (LS-120)
|
|
|
|
o The psm, mse and sysmouse drivers are improved to provide
|
|
better mouse support. moused(8) has been modified to support
|
|
various mice with a ``wheel''. It also automatically
|
|
recognizes mice which support the PnP COM device standard so
|
|
that the user is no longer required to supply a mouse protocol
|
|
type on the command line.
|
|
|
|
Userland features:
|
|
|
|
o popen() library call now uses and offers bidirectional pipes.
|
|
|
|
o Added support for parallel makes in /usr/src (-j n works
|
|
now with world target, particularly useful with SMP
|
|
machines).
|
|
|
|
o tcpdump(1) utility enhanced
|
|
|
|
o Support for ldconfig -R (remove) added.
|
|
|
|
o Various bugfixes and enhancements to pthread support.
|
|
|
|
o calendar(1) program brought more up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
o KerberosIV updated to latest version.
|
|
|
|
o Various curses(3) bugs fixed.
|
|
|
|
o Various IEEE754 conformance changes to libm(3).
|
|
|
|
o Much cleanup and general improvements to the documentation.
|
|
|
|
o Various improvements to the NIS code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Security issues:
|
|
|
|
o Fixed /dev/io and mmap security holes.
|
|
|
|
o Better protection against "LAND attacks"
|
|
|
|
o Various buffer overruns detected and extra checks added.
|
|
|
|
o Pentium "F00F bug" is detected and a work-around installed to
|
|
prevent hangs.
|
|
|
|
o srandomdev() support merged from -current and utilities updated
|
|
to use it.
