@ -17,6 +17,36 @@ NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 5.x IS SLOW:
developers choose to disable these features on build machines
to maximize performance.
20040710:
__FreeBSD_version bumped to 502122.
20040710:
The console initialization on Alpha has been reworked and is now
identical to other platforms. This means that the hardcoding of
the serial console and the debug port has been removed. As such,
hints are now required for the sio(4) driver to become a console
or debug port. The NO_SIO option has been decommissioned because
of this.
20040710:
A revamp of the debugging code in the kernel with some visible
changes beyond just the debugging experience:
o The DDB option is now specific to the DDB debugger backend
and should not be used any more for conditional compilation
of debugging code for when debugging is enabled. Use the KDB
option for this.
o The WITNESS_DDB, DDB_TRACE and DDB_UNATTENDED options have
been renamed to WITNESS_KDB, KDB_TRACE and KDB_UNATTENDED
respectively. This is in line with the first bullet.
o The remote GDB support has been untangled from DDB and needs
to be enabled seperately now. Use the GDB option for this.
o The GDB_REMOTE_CHAT option has been removed. Support for this
homegrown feature is discontinued. The GDB remote protocol
supports console output and it makes sense to use that.
o The DDB_NOKLDSYM option has been removed. The DDB debugger
now supports both direct symbol table lookups as well as KLD
symbol lookups through the linker.

Bluetooth code has been marked as non-i386 specific.
__FreeBSD_version has been bumped to 502121 to mark this change.
