August 1995

• pc532

• pc532

• ccd(4)
  new version of ccd, along with run-time configuration utility and conf.c/MAKEDEV entries for each port. [thorpej 19950817]
• sun3

When no NetBSD label is present, the current sceme of faking a disklabel is used. This guarantees backward compatibility. [leo 19950805]
• misc
  add and document a `kern.rawpartition' sysctl. [thorpej 19950804]

July 1995

• misc
  updated get{pw,gr}ent and friends to implement better YP support including exclusions in /etc/passwd. Enhancments by Jason Downs. [phil 1995072?]

• misc
  prototyped physio(), adjusted various users and definers of minphys()-like routines to use its correct definition. [cgd 19950724]

  add a bdes(1) dummy script, and the bdes(1) manual page (with a warning), for exportable configurations. [cgd 19950724]
• misc
  change bsd.subdir.mk so that it prints out the path to the subdirectory being worked on. lets you know how deep you've gone, and allows path to be pasted. [cgd 19950724]
• ethernet
  update if_de driver with latest version from Matt Thomas; now supports dc21041-based boards. [cgd 19950724]
• pcnfds(8)
  added pcnfsd server from Gordon Ross. [jtc 19950724]
• atari, msdosfs

• atari
  Fix keymap handling [leo 19950724]
• atari
  Make kernel-dumps work [leo 19950724]

• misc
  added an SDEV_FORCELUNS quirk to the SCSI quirks table, and added a few more devices with quirks. [cgd 19950712]
• misc
  changed 'mount -a' to _not_ remount mount file systems, if it looks like they're already mounted. added '-A' flag to mount, to implement the old (somewhat quirky) '-a' behaviour. [cgd 19950712]
• misc
  removed FFS mounting code from mount(8), and separated it into its own program (mount_ffs(8)). mount_ufs is a link to mount_ffs, for now, for compatibility. [cgd 19950712]
• sun3, sparc
  added `screenblank', a screen saver daemon for Sun 3 and SPARC machines. [thorpej 19950711]
• sun3, sparc

• misc
  fix bug in load average calculation that prevented processes which were uninterruptibly sleeping for a short period from being counted. [cgd 19950707]
• audio
  updated audio with changes inspired from latest PR's. The audio driver now uses mode flags to allow full-duplex operation as suggested by John Kohl. It also includes other full duplex related changes. The ad1848 driver includes support for the cs4231 codec and probe changes from Mike Long. The other sound drivers had a round of cleanup. [brezak 19950706]
• misc
  added a lint(1) implementation by Jochen Pohl <pohlj@arktur.zfe.siemens.de>. [cgd 19950703]

June 1995

• misc
  changed the shmat() syscall so that the address picked for mapping if no address is given is consistent from process to process. SysV apparently does this, and some programs depend on it. (Suggested by John Birrell <jb@werple.mira.net.au>). [cgd 19950629]
• misc

May 1995

• misc
  Split egid out of supplemental group list because POSIX.1 requires that sgid executables and the setgid() sycall *not* change the group list. Changed getgrouplist(3) to not duplicate the primary group. [jtc 19950531]
