@@ -17,6 +17,36 @@ NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 5.x IS SLOW: developers choose to disable these features on build machines to maximize performance. +20040710: + __FreeBSD_version bumped to 502122. + +20040710: + The console initialization on Alpha has been reworked and is now + identical to other platforms. This means that the hardcoding of + the serial console and the debug port has been removed. As such, + hints are now required for the sio(4) driver to become a console + or debug port. The NO_SIO option has been decommissioned because + of this. + +20040710: + A revamp of the debugging code in the kernel with some visible + changes beyond just the debugging experience: + o The DDB option is now specific to the DDB debugger backend + and should not be used any more for conditional compilation + of debugging code for when debugging is enabled. Use the KDB + option for this. + o The WITNESS_DDB, DDB_TRACE and DDB_UNATTENDED options have + been renamed to WITNESS_KDB, KDB_TRACE and KDB_UNATTENDED + respectively. This is in line with the first bullet. + o The remote GDB support has been untangled from DDB and needs + to be enabled seperately now. Use the GDB option for this. + o The GDB_REMOTE_CHAT option has been removed. Support for this + homegrown feature is discontinued. The GDB remote protocol + supports console output and it makes sense to use that. + o The DDB_NOKLDSYM option has been removed. The DDB debugger + now supports both direct symbol table lookups as well as KLD + symbol lookups through the linker. + 20040708: Bluetooth code has been marked as non-i386 specific. __FreeBSD_version has been bumped to 502121 to mark this change. |
