 -------------------
 
-Support for Adaptec 152x/151x/AIC-6360 SCSI controllers is back.
+The loader was substantially updated from -current
 
-netgraph(4) has been added.  Netgraph provides a uniform and modular system
-for the implementation of kernel objects which perform various networking
-functions.  To enable it, ``options NETGRAPH'' must be added to the kernel.
+Various bugs in the CAM driver fixed.
 
-i4b(4) has been upgraded to version 00.83.00, providing increased robustness
-and stability, and supporting many new cards (Asuscom ISDNlink 128K,
-AVM Fritz!Card PCI, AVM Fritz!Card PnP, ELSA PCC-16, ITK ix1 micro V.3,
-Siemens I-Surf 2.0).
+oltr [Olicom NIC] driver updated.

-decreasing the TTL in order to make gateways and firewalls less visible
-and therefore less exposed to attacks.
+Support for more Linux system calls in the Linux compatability code.
 
-New networking security features include the ability to drop TCP packets with
-SYN+FIN (NOTE: this breaks rfc1644 extensions (T/TCP)), restrict emission of
-RST, ignore incoming ICMP REDIRECT messages, and also set to log incoming
-ICMP REDIRECT messages.  See rc.conf(5) for details on how to utilize these
-new features.

 characters.  These must now be escaped or quoted.
