+=== pf Improvements
+
+pf is one of the firewalls included in FreeBSD, and is probably the most
+popular. pf was created by the OpenBSD project and subsequently ported to
+FreeBSD.
+
+==== backport OpenBSD syntax
+
+Kajetan introduced the OpenBSD syntax of "scrub" operations in "match" and
+"pass" rules. Existing rules remain supported, but now OpenBSD style "scrub"
+configration is also supported.

+
+==== pfsync protocol versioning
+
+The pfsync protocol version can now be configured, allowing for protocol changes
+while still supporting state synchronisation between disparate kernel versions.
+The primary benefit is to allow protocol changes enabling new functionality.

+==== SCTP
+
+There is work in progres to support SCTP in pf. That support includes filtering
+on port numbers, state tracking, pfsync failover and returning ABORT chunks for
+rejected connections.
