- since &release.prev;.
- In general, changes described here are unique to the &release.branch;
- branch unless specifically marked as &merged; features.
- </para>
-
- <para>Typical release note items
- document recent security advisories issued after

- new drivers or hardware support, new commands or options,
- major bug fixes, or contributed software upgrades. They may also
- list changes to major ports/packages or release engineering
- practices. Clearly the release notes cannot list every single
- change made to &os; between releases; this document focuses
- primarily on security advisories, user-visible changes, and major
- architectural improvements.</para>

- <title>Kernel Changes</title>
-
- <para>A new &man.cpuset.2; API has been added
- for thread to CPU binding and CPU resource grouping and
- assignment. The &man.cpuset.1; userland utility has been added
- to allow manipulation of processor sets.</para>
-
- <para role="merged">The &man.ddb.4; kernel debugger now has an output capture
- facility. Input and output from &man.ddb.4; can now be captured
- to a memory buffer for later inspection using &man.sysctl.8; or
- a textdump. The new <command>capture</command> command controls
- this feature.</para>
-
- <para role="merged">The &man.ddb.4; debugger now supports a simple scripting
- facility, which supports a set of named scripts consisting of a
- set of &man.ddb.4; commands. These commands can be managed from
- within &man.ddb.4; or with the use of the new &man.ddb.8;
- utility. More details can be found in the &man.ddb.4; manual
- page.</para>
-
- <para role="merged">The kernel now supports a new textdump format of kernel
- dumps. A textdump provides higher-level information via
- mechanically generated/extracted debugging output, rather than a
- simple memory dump. This facility can be used to generate brief
- kernel bug reports that are rich in debugging information, but
- are not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely
- synchronized source code. More information can be found in the
- &man.textdump.4; manual page.</para>
-
- <para>Kernel support for M:N threading has been removed. While
- the KSE (Kernel Scheduled Entities) project was quite successful
- in bringing threading to FreeBSD, the M:N approach taken by the
- KSE library was never developed to its full potential.
- Backwards compatibility for applications using KSE threading
- will be provided via &man.libmap.conf.5; for dynamically linked
- binaries. The &os; Project greatly appreciates the work of
- &a.julian;, &a.deischen;, and &a.davidxu; on KSE support.</para>
-
- <para>The &os; kernel now exports information about certain kernel
- features via the <varname>kern.features</varname> sysctl tree.
- The &man.feature.present.3; library call provides a convenient
- interface for user applications to test the presence of
- features.</para>
-
- <para arch="amd64">The &os; kernel now has support for large
- memory page mappings (<quote>superpages</quote>).</para>
-
- <para arch="amd64,i386,ia64,powerpc" role="merged">The ULE
- scheduler is now the default process scheduler
- in <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernels.</para>
-
- <sect3 id="boot">
- <title>Boot Loader Changes</title>
-
- <para arch="amd64,i386" role="merged">The BTX kernel used by the boot
- loader has been changed to invoke BIOS routines from real
- mode. This change makes it possible to boot &os; from USB
- devices.</para>
-
- <para arch="amd64,i386" role="merged">A new gptboot boot loader has
- been added to support booting from a GPT labeled disk. A
- new <command>boot</command> command has been added to
- &man.gpt.8;, which makes a GPT disk bootable by writing the
- required bits of the boot loader, creating a new boot
- partition if required.</para>
