Matthew Dillon had another patch for his fairq code, adding changed prompted by Max Laier’s suggestion of WFQ, along with other ideas. There is one outstanding issue, however. The code causes an ABI change, so take extra steps if you aren’t doing a full buildworld/buildkernel.

The upstream network provider for dragonflybsd.org is going through some changes, so there may be occasional downtime for some weeks.

I’ll link to my mailing list post about it, as I’ve already summarized there.  Student signup is the 24-31st of March, so start getting it together if you want to be involved as a student or mentor!

p.s. Yay!

HEAD users will need to do a full buildworld/buildkernel because of Sepherosa Ziehau’s recent changes to ifnet.

Matthew Dillon is going to roll release 12.1 very soon, due to the discovery and fix of a Sendmail bug that can cause segfaults.

1.12 is being released Monday the 25th - test now!  If something drastic comes up, Wednesday is the backup date.

Matthew Dillon found a memory corruption bug in sendmail; it is patched in the 1.12 release branch and in HEAD.

2.0 will be branched on the 9th and released on the 23rd of this month.  If you have something you want in that release, hurry!  HAMMER will be included in an alpha state.

Joerg Anslik found a strange error that turns out to have been a problem in handling floating point states; it’s fixed, but you will need to recompile kernel and libc_r if you are running bleeding edge code.
