Greetings Adrian, The most significant new features are listed in the Release Announcement[0]. There is greater detail available in the Release Notes under "What's New"[1]. > I would also like, if possible, to get in touch with a few of the main > developers that took charge of coding them. You can contact the person listed as MAINTAINER in the Makefile for the part of the source tree you are concerned with. If there is no MAINTAINER listed, a quick trip through CVSWeb[2] will reveal who has been the most active committer to that section of the tree. I would, of course, recommend courtesy and patience when approaching FreeBSD develoeprs for an interview. Most of them are quite busy.
