2. New feature: option to create a forwarder configuration file based on
the contents of /etc/resolv.conf. This allows you to utilize a local
resolver for better performance, less network traffic, custom zones, etc.
while still relying on the benefits of your local network resolver.
Off by default.
3. Add named-checkconf into the startup routine. This will prevent named

so.
During bootup, if /etc/rc.d/savecore detects a core dump file
on the dump device, the core file will be saved, and the crashinfo
script will be run to generate a human-readable report.
This will make it easier for end-users to provide feedback to
developers about kernel crashes.

Debugging this issue was far more difficult than it should have been, due
to earlier changes to the rc framework to hide almost all useful information

Note: this is only really necessary because of the ifconfig
logic to add/remove the jail IPs upon start/stop.
Consensus among simon and I is that the logic should
really be factored out from the startup script and put
into a proper management solution.
- We now support starting of no-IP jails.
- Remove the global jail_<jname>_netmask option as it is only
helpful to set netmasks/prefixes for the right address
family and per address.
- Implement jail_<jname>_ip options to support both
address familes with regard to ifconfig logic.
- Implement _multi<n> support suffix to the jail_<jname>_ip
option to configure additional addresses to avoid overlong,
unreadbale jail_<jname>_ip lines with lots of addresses.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.
