@ -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.

|
||||
__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.
|
||||
|
||||
20040708:
|
||||
Bluetooth code has been marked as non-i386 specific.
|
||||
__FreeBSD_version has been bumped to 502121 to mark this change.
