The subject says it all. Here are the contents of the snapshot
README for those interested:
Latest snapshot from January 12th, 1995.
** NOTE: See also newer/README file for any delta changes to this snapshot. **
WHATS NEW [not a complete list]
-------------------------------
o Merged VM/Buffer cache! Does it work? Is it faster? Find out! :-)
This is the culmination of over 6 months of careful hacking.
o Lots-o-bug fixes
o Lots-o-bugs (probably)
o Fixes to floppy driver - may fix some of the reported problems.
o Genius GS-4500 Scanner driver; scan pictures from FreeBSD!
o Fixes for U24F SCSI controller
o Many fixes to Seagate driver - Future Domain people please test!
o GNU Info files resurrected from the dead (see infodist)
o share/doc now quite a bit more functional.
o A number of new syscons features - software settable cursor,
more modes for LCD displays, dynamic console allocation,
woo doggies.
o Still no kernel srcdist, just one big srcdist still. Sorry.
o Lots of changes to the installation - hopefully this one even
mostly works for once.
o A billion other things I've forgotten for now but will remember
right after I save this document.
COMING UP [in the next snapshot]
--------------------------------
o AHA294x support (Adaptec PCI SCSI-II adaptor).
o Generic PCMCIA support (draft quality).
o Who knows?
