New release notes: /dev/tty fix, fstat(2) bugfix, kqueue(2)
bugfix, xl(4) bugfix, ipfw(4) skipto/log fix, non-blocking RPC fix, mly(4) fix, smbfs bugfixes, adduser(8) passwords with special characters, sem_open(3) multiple open fix. All of these items are bugfixes listed in errata/article.sgml rev. 1.27. It seemed to me that if they were important enough to list in the errata, they were important enough for the release notes.
