<tr>
<td>Fresh ACPI-CA import</td>
<td>--</td>
<td>--</td>
<td>The 20030228 vendor sources have been imported. Further testing is
appreciated.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PAE support for i386</td>
<td>--</td>
<td>--</td>
<td>PAE support allows the use of up to 64GB of RAM on Pentium Pro and above
systems. Virtual addresses are still constrained to 32-bits.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>if_wi problems on Lucent hardware</td>
<td>--</td>
<td>--</td>
<td>The recently upgraded if_wi driver is more tuned to Prism hardware
than to Lucent hardware, resulting in system lockups and poor performance
when using Lucent hardware. These problems are believed to be fixed
but more testing is welcome.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>UFS2 as installation, newfs default</td>
<td>--</td>
<td>&a.rwatson;</td>
<td>For 5.1-RELEASE, the default file system type for newly created
file systems is UFS2 rather than UFS1. newfs(8) and sysinstall(8)
have been updated to use this new default. Testing to make sure all
goes well after the change (committed on April 20, 2003) is
vital.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>NSSwitch support</td>
<td>--</td>
<td>&a.nectar;</td>
<td>Support for pluggable directory services using NSS, including
adaptations of current directory services (local databases, NIS),
and support for new services (LDAP, Active Directory, etc).
This change has been committed, and requires broader testing.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Spurious alpha panics</td>
<td>--</td>
<td>--</td>
<td>&a.kris; reports that he has seen several unique panics on the
alpha machines, but since gdb -k doesn't work on alpha I haven't
been able to get more than a DDB traceback. No-one has looked
into them.</td>
