Some stale stuff in ttp://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/relnotes.html#new: A new cpuset(2) API has been added for thread to CPU binding and CPU resource grouping and assignment. The cpuset(1) userland utility has been added to allow manipulation of processor sets. # cpuset appeared iin 7.1 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 textdump(4) manual page. # textdump appeared in 7.1 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 libmap.conf(5) for dynamically linked binaries. The FreeBSD Project greatly appreciates the work of Julian Elischer, Daniel Eischen, and David Xu on KSE support. # KSE was removed in 8? The FreeBSD kernel now exports information about certain kernel features via the |kern.features| sysctl tree. The feature_present(3) library call provides a convenient interface for user applications to test the presence of features. # kern.features appeared in 6.X ? [amd64,i386,ia64,powerpc] The ULE scheduler is now the default process scheduler in |GENERIC| kernels. # loong ago Bootloader changes: # Entirely from 7.2 ? Network: The ale(4) driver has been added to provide support for Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Gigabit/Fast Ethernet controllers. # ale is in 8 at least The em(4) driver has been split into two drivers with some common parts. The em(4) driver will continue to support adapters up to the 82575, as well as new client/desktop adapters. A new igb(4) driver will support new server adapters. # igb is not "new" nowadays 2.3 Userland: The procstat(1) utility has been added to display detailed information about processes. # Since 8 ? 2.4 Contrinuted awk has been updated from the 1 May 2007 release to the 23 October 2007 release. bzip2 has been updated from 1.0.4 to 1.0.5. # 8.x has 1.0.6 The timezone database has been updated from the tzdata2008h release to the tzdata2009m release.
