Author: rwatson Date: Mon Aug 15 07:30:48 2011 New Revision: 224875 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/224875 Log: Bump __FreeBSD_version to reflect the availability of capabilities, but also capability-related changes to fget(9). This is likely not part of a formal KPI, but the nvidia driver (at least) uses it. Mention /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr} breakage that appears in certain kernel revisions as best avoided!
