Well, with the feature freeze, this seems to be a good time to try to push an article on the new features in 4.0. Print articles take about 4 months to appear, so I need to get moving on this. This seems to be the best place to ask: Does anyone have a complete list of the major improvements/enhancements in -current? Unfortunately, the mailing list search engine doesn't work well for this sort of thing, so I'm stuck with stored messages from -current and hazy information from my sporadically-firing gray matter. The ones that stuck in my brain are: *VM enhancements *NTFS reading *NFS enhancements *Novell connectivity *Massive flame wars with dillon, pkh, and karl -- ahem, I'll skip this one *Linux emulation improvement & signals changes -- does this actually improve any other system functions, or does it just improve our Linux compatability? *scads of device drivers (yes, scads *is* a technical term) *Netgraph (merged into -stable recently, I know, but unfamiliar enough to most people that it's worth a mention) *partial IPv6 support Does this cover it? Is there an official document? Thanks, Michael PS: For anyone who cares, the proofs arrived for my next Sys Admin article yesterday. Thanks again to all who reviewed them, I owe each of you a drink or two. PPS: Does anyone know if Sunworld.com is a paying market?
