To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Thu, 19 Dec 1996 16:21:35 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Can someone send me a concise (25 items or less!) description of the main differences between 2.1.5 and 2.1.6? For example: - they left out the kernel, included in 2.1.6 - the compiler was broken, fixed in 2.1.6 - etc... If this is not possible or if this is a silly question, then how do I know if it's worth my while to upgrade? :-) I've read the release notes sent out, but they are seemingly much the same each time, with a long list of supported peripherals, and I didn't get from them the concise list of changes I need.
