The aim is to let people get at features and test them earlier without the load of doing a full patchset release. It should also make it easier for people to contribute without CVS access. However, as these patchsets haven't been through a release cycle they aren't guaranteed to work, the documentation is a little rough, etc. They also aren't going to be supported in the ports system and you're expected to be able to build things yourself. Bug reports are, of course, welcome. At the moment these patchsets are being built for 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 (1.2.2 to follow soon). I expect to put these up weekly. For your edification, these patchsets should contain the following major features in comparison to the current release: 1.3.1: . OpenBSD support. . HotSpot builds (on FreeBSD) with the 4.x system compiler. 1.4.1: . Browser plugin support. . NetBSD support. Please see the ChangeLog files for the details of who contributed these features. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
