From 74d0c46ddeff2be86d5875fac28e6530447aed33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Watson Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2011 07:30:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Bump __FreeBSD_version to reflect the availability of capabilities, but also capability-related changes to fget(9). This is likely not part of a formal KPI, but the nvidia driver (at least) uses it. Mention /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr} breakage that appears in certain kernel revisions as best avoided!
