There's several changes that I still need to MFC to 9, since it was in a freeze for the 9.3 release when I was MFC'ing to 10. I should get that done in the next few weeks. Due to pending EOL and my limited time, I've stopped MFC'ing new features to 8. I'm not aware of any bugs in the 8-STABLE code though. > -- > Take care > Rick Miller > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
