Also support modems being detected by the PnP part and automatically attached. o Alternate sound driver (/sys/i386/isa/snd) from Luigi Rizzo; it does not yet support MIDI (for that, use the old sound driver) but it does have much better support for PNP sound cards and is much easier to configure (only one device). See /sys/i386/conf/LINT for more info. o Better Linux emulation (applications like RealVideo 5.0 for Linux now work). o Added support for ATAPI floppy drives (LS-120) o The psm, mse and sysmouse drivers are improved to provide better mouse support. moused(8) has been modified to support various mice with a ``wheel''. It also automatically recognizes mice which support the PnP COM device standard so that the user is no longer required to supply a mouse protocol type on the command line. o The Specialix multiport serial driver has had a facelift in an attempt to support the newer module types and host cards. It should support ISA, EISA and PCI now. Thanks to Nick Sayer of Specialix for providing patches for integration. Userland features: o popen() library call now uses and offers bidirectional pipes. o Added support for parallel makes in /usr/src (-j works now with world target, particularly useful with SMP machines). o tcpdump(1) utility enhanced o Support for ldconfig -R (remove) added. o Various bugfixes and enhancements to pthread support. o calendar(1) program brought more up-to-date. o KerberosIV updated to latest version. o Various curses(3) bugs fixed. o Various IEEE754 conformance changes to libm(3). o Much cleanup and general improvements to the documentation. o Various improvements to the NIS code. Security issues: o Fixed /dev/io and mmap security holes. o Better protection against "LAND attacks" o Various buffer overruns detected and extra checks added. o Pentium "F00F bug" is detected and a work-around installed to prevent hangs. o srandomdev() support merged from -current and utilities updated to use it.
