AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

After several months of testing and fixing (and breaking)
various parts of release/release.sh changes, it is now
possible to build FreeBSD/arm images as part of the release
process.
When EMBEDDEDBUILD is set in the release.conf file, release.sh
will create the build environment, then run a separate script
in release/${XDEV}/release.sh [1]. Currently, only arm is
supported.
The release/${XDEV}/release.sh configures the build environment
specific for the target image, such as installing gcc(1),
installing additional third-party software from the ports tree,
and fetching external sources.
Once the build environment is set up, release/${XDEV}/release.sh
runs Crochet, written by Tim Kientzle, which builds the userland
and kernel, and creates an image that can be written to an SD
card with dd(1). Many thanks to Tim for his work on Crochet.
Sample configurations for FreeBSD/arm boards are in the
release/arm/ directory, and Crochet configuration files for each
board are located in release/tools/arm/. Supported boards at this
time are: BEAGLEBONE, PANDABOARD, RPI-B, and WANDBOARD-QUAD.
Adding support for additional boards will continue in the
projects/release-embedded/ branch, and incrementally merged back
to head/.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for the support and
sponsorship of this project.
[1] XDEV is used in order to keep the various configurations
organized by architecture, but since TARGET and TARGET_ARCH
are used to build the chroot, the values of those variables
cannot be used.

- Use counter(9) for rt_pksent (former rt_rmx.rmx_pksent). This
removes another cache trashing ++ from packet forwarding path.
- Create zini/fini methods for the rtentry UMA zone. Via initialize
mutex and counter in them.
- Fix reporting of rmx_pksent to routing socket.
- Fix netstat(1) to report "Use" both in kvm(3) and sysctl(3) mode.
The change is mostly targeted for stable/10 merge. For head,
rt_pksent is expected to just disappear.

- Add a VCSCMD variable that defaults to 'svn checkout',
and update places 'svn co' is used directly.
- After sourcing a configuration file, prefix SRCBRANCH,
PORTBRANCH, and DOCBRANCH with the SVNROOT.
- Properly capitalize 'FreeBSD.org' in the default SVNROOT.
- Update Copyright.
release.conf.sample:
- Add an example to use git instead of svn, by nullifying
SVNROOT, and setting SRCBRANCH, DOCBRANCH, and PORTBRANCH
to the URL fo a git repository.
release.7:
- Document VCSCMD.

- Support for double-tap and drag.
- Support for 2-finger horizontal scrolling which translates to page-back/forward events.
- Single finger tap is equivalent to a left-button press.
- Two-finger taps are mapped to the right-button click.
- Three fingers are mapped to middle button.
- Add sysctl to disable single finger tapping.
- Fix for multiple open of /dev/atp0
- Enhanced support for the Fountain/Geyser family by adding Geyser4.
- Update manual page.

gpioled(4).
Tested on RPi and BBB (using the hardware I2C controller and gpioiic(4) for
the I2C tests). It was also verified for regressions on RSPRO (MIPS/ar71xx)
used as reference for a non OFW-based system.
Update the gpioled(4) and gpioiic(4) man pages with some details and
examples about the FDT/OFW support.
Some compatibility details pointed out by imp@ will follow in subsequent
commits.

- Create a separate 'return values' section and move some statements about
return values to that section.
- Note that each invocation of va_start() and va_copy() must be paired with
va_end() in the same function.

allow mrsas(4) from LSI to attach to newer LSI cards that are support by
mrsas(4). If mrsas(4) is not loaded into the system at boot then mfi(4)
will always attach. If a modified mrsas(4) is loaded in the system. That
modification is return "-30" in it's probe since that is between
BUS_PROBE_DEFAULT and BUS_PROBE_LOW_PRIORITY.
This option is controller by a new probe flag "MFI_FLAGS_MRSAS" in mfi_ident
that denotes cards that should work with mrsas(4). New entries that should
have this option.
This is the first step to get mrsas(4) checked into FreeBSD and to avoid
collision with people that use mrsas(4) from LSI. Since mfi(4) takes
priority, then mrsas(4) users need to rebuild GENERIC. Using the
.disabled="1" method doesn't work since that blocks attaching and the
probe gave it to mfi(4).
Discussed with: LSI (Kashyap Desai)
