FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT (FER) #2: Mon Feb 5 03:45:00 PST 1996 Welcome to FreeBSD! ----------------------------- It seems very stable at the moment but as usual.. don't run a SNAP unless you are PREPARED to put up with unexpected behaviour.. this SNAP is only PART WAY to 2.2 2.1.1 will be out well before 2.2 (my guess at this time) things going into 2.2 that might be of interest.. --already in or running-- DEVFS (mostly working) Many cleanups of code User level threads support (including thread-safe libc) and package (maybe 2) many speedups ext2fs concatinated disk array support TCP path MTU discovery Router discovery (I believe) --possible items-- not sure if the NFSV3 code is already in 2.1 , but a lockd/statd are rumoured maybe a new dos fs implimentation.. (early days) possibly some kernel threads support in the form of 'rfork()' support MAYBE (if we work more on it,) course-grain MP.. (don't hold your breath) possibly and IPversion6 implimentation. (we have 3 to look at and select from) better disk-slicing technology
