site that gives more information on the monthly (RE-created) snapshots
plus pointers to the jp.freebsd.org and se.freebsd.org snapshots.
- Make "die()" more verbose.
- Do not put extra blank lines into the output file.
- Normalize text by using numeric entities because
some characters such as "'" can break the generated SGML.

manual pages, to avoid duplicating work between the Hardware Notes and
manual pages.
Each text line in the output from the manual page parser is generated
as a SGML entity, making it possible for translators to only translate
lines which actually contains English text (this neat idea came from
hrs).
To determine which drivers are usable on which architectures the
dev.archlist.txt file is used to explicitly list this. It it an
imperfect solution, but the best I have been able to come up with for
now.
This commit converts most of the devices which has a section 4 manual
page with a HARDWARE section to be the new auto generated format.

Trim release documentation and errata. While here, put back
some conditional text in the errata that was removed during
5.0-RELEASE and never put back.
Note that the previous commit message for this file should have read:
"4.8-RELEASE is the latest release from the 4-STABLE branch." [1]

the size of the rendered release notes. By default, any element with
a role="historic" attribute won't get rendered in the output unless
the INCLUDE_HISTORIC Makefile variable is defined.
the release notes compare 5.0-CURRENT to 4.0-RELEASE, but in at least
one place it is beneficial to mention the last stable release of
FreeBSD (4.5-RELEASE).

version control information that is different from the rest of their
containing document (or at least other sections). For release notes
only, allow output of <sect1info><pubdate></pubdate></sect1info>
text, and add it to three sections of RELNOTESng where it's kind of
important ("What's New" in the release notes, "Supported Device" in
the arch-independent hardware list, and the processors section of the
alpha hardware list).
stylesheets (particularly with respect to translations) is now similar
to that of the doc/ tree. Added a customization for HTML page footers
(this is the only reader-visible change).
1. There is now only one RELNOTESng stylesheet; the architecture-specific
stylesheets (to handle different values of the arch= attribute) are gone.
2. Several Makefile variable definitions were factored into
doc.relnotes.mk.
