<para role="merged">The kernel now supports a new textdump format of kernel
dumps. A textdump provides higher-level information via
mechanically generated/extracted debugging output, rather than a
simple memory dump. This facility can be used to generate brief
kernel bug reports that are rich in debugging information, but
are not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely
synchronized source code. More information can be found in the
&man.textdump.4; manual page.</para>
<para>Kernel support for M:N threading has been removed. While
the KSE (Kernel Scheduled Entities) project was quite successful
in bringing threading to FreeBSD, the M:N approach taken by the
KSE library was never developed to its full potential.
Backwards compatibility for applications using KSE threading
will be provided via &man.libmap.conf.5; for dynamically linked
binaries. The &os; Project greatly appreciates the work of
&a.julian;, &a.deischen;, and &a.davidxu; on KSE support.</para>
