There's a patch for relnotes I came up with while translating the document. Some hunks are just typos fixed, and some are arguable (e.g. FreeBSD => &os;). Please review and commit the bits you feel necessary. None of the changes are critical :) Thanks! The diff is against revision 1.101. I have some content diffs as well and will send them to you in a seperate mail later. --- base_new.sgml Sat Aug 18 10:41:38 2001 +++ new.sgml Sat Aug 18 17:03:57 2001 @@ -36,13 +36,13 @@ The &man.kqueue.2; event notification facility was added to the &os; kernel.
