-    <para>A new &man.cpuset.2; API has been added
-      for thread to CPU binding and CPU resource grouping and
-      assignment.  The &man.cpuset.1; userland utility has been added
-      to allow manipulation of processor sets.</para>

-    <para role="merged">The &man.ddb.4; kernel debugger now has an output capture
-      facility.  Input and output from &man.ddb.4; can now be captured
-      to a memory buffer for later inspection using &man.sysctl.8; or
-      a textdump.  The new <command>capture</command> command controls
-      this feature.</para>
-
-    <para role="merged">The &man.ddb.4; debugger now supports a simple scripting
-      facility, which supports a set of named scripts consisting of a
-      set of &man.ddb.4; commands.  These commands can be managed from
-      within &man.ddb.4; or with the use of the new &man.ddb.8;
-      utility.  More details can be found in the &man.ddb.4; manual
-      page.</para>
-
-    <para role="merged">The kernel now supports a new textdump format of kernel
-      dumps.  A textdump provides higher-level information via
-      mechanically generated/extracted debugging output, rather than a
-      simple memory dump.  This facility can be used to generate brief
-      kernel bug reports that are rich in debugging information, but
-      are not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely
-      synchronized source code.  More information can be found in the
-      &man.textdump.4; manual page.</para>
-
-    <para>Kernel support for M:N threading has been removed.  While
-      the KSE (Kernel Scheduled Entities) project was quite successful
-      in bringing threading to FreeBSD, the M:N approach taken by the
-      KSE library was never developed to its full potential.
-      Backwards compatibility for applications using KSE threading
-      will be provided via &man.libmap.conf.5; for dynamically linked
-      binaries.  The &os; Project greatly appreciates the work of
