1.1. KERNEL CHANGES
-------------------
+A new event notification facility called kqueue was added to the
+FreeBSD kernel. This is a new interface which is able to replace
+poll/select, offering improved performance, as well as the ability
+to report many different types of events. Support for monitoring
+changes in sockets, pipes, fifos, and files are present, as well as
+for signals and processes. [MERGED]
+
Support for named extended attributes was added to the FreeBSD kernel.
This allows the kernel, and appropriately privileged userland processes,
to tag files and directories with attribute data. Extended attributes
