NEW IN THIS RELEASE
-------------------

- multiple vm's in vmx(1)

- window size changes with ssh(1) and vt(1)

- games/wadfs

KERNEL AND DRIVERS
------------------

devdup: remove useless OCEXEC check, handled by namec()

devsegment: handle ORCLOSE on segment directory correctly, fix wrong
qid, missing COPEN flag for segmentcreate()

devusb: double READSTR buffer size to 8000 bytes for devusb

devusb: superspeed bandwidth allocation handled by controller, skip
usbload() calculation

devvmx: lilu dallas multivm

devvmx: call vmxshutdown from reboot() function manually

devvmx: more efficient data structure for memory map; simplified (more
reliable) step function

audiohda: Intel Sunrise Point-H support (thanks sam-d)

audiohda: add pci id for ICH10 (thanks echoline)

audiohda: add pci id for Intel 9 Series

audiohda: add pci id for nvidia GM204

ether82563: add more pci ids for i210 and i354 from 9atom / openbsd

ether82563: make the ethernet of thinkpad p50 work (thanks sam-d)

ether82563: support for i211 with iNVM.  (thanks mfny and brennan for
testing)

etheriwl: add pci id for Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 on x201 tablet
(thanks arpunk)

igfx: add did for x220

igfx: fix cdclk and dpll settings for dual channel lvds on sandybridge

igfx: fix sandybridge fdi link training bits and ordering

sdiahci: Intel 200 Series Chipset Family PCH support (thanks aiju)

sdnvme: pass 0 instead of 0xffffffff as NSID for identify controller
and create completion/submission queue commands (thanks Ori_B)

usbxhci: abandon multiple requests per endpoint, cleanup

usbxhci: handle out of memory in controller initialization

usbxhci: implement recovery from host controller errors

nusb/disk: add a 100ms sleep after ums reset, remove unused note
handler, cleanup

COMPILERS AND DEBUGGERS
-----------------------

libmach: support disassembling from memory

PROGRAMS
--------

awk: allow string as exit status

awk: don't get into a infinite loop with eof while in string (thanks
BurnZeZ)

cwfs: -n always overrides postservice() name, no matter if config mode
changes service

doom: add games/wadfs

doom: clean up temporary mus files

ssh: issue "winchon" ctl request to /dev/consctl to get interrupt on
window size change from vt(1)

sshfs: fork ssh in its own namespace so it wont keep the mountpoint
open

sshfs: start sendproc and recvproc in the same notegroup as the fs
process so theadexitsall() works on sshfs: ending.

sysinfo: only dump #r/nvram on amd64,386

sysinfo: run aux/icanhasvmx with verbose flag

vmx: lilu dallas multivm

vmx: VGA framebuffer should be normal memory

vmx: don't realloc virtio queues -- breaks pointers

vmx: fixed code that assumed uintptr==uvlong

vmx: memory map improvements, x86 simulator for MMIO

vmx: allocate sticky instead of more expensive fixed segment

vmx: fix hlt idle problem

vmx: pass multiboot framebuffer info to kernel

vt: block selection mode for snarf

vt: fix silly bug causing characters be drawn one at a time

vt: implement /dev/cons and /dev/consctl as a fileserver, winch,
incremental redraw

vt: turn off nl -> nl+cr translation default in raw mode, don't scroll
more than screen height

OTHER
-----

booting: rename pcf kernel to pc, remove pcf, pccpuf, pccpu64 kernels,
update documentation

inst: don't hardcode /net/ether0, might have usb ethernet

inst: get rid of halt, just run fshalt in finish directly

inst: get rid of ppp configuration

inst: post newfs fileservers under /srv/$fstype.newfs to avoid
conflict with preexisting local filesystem

DOCUMENTATION
-------------

vmx(3): document changes to devvmx interface
