RELEASE subversion bumped to 1.2.5, DEVELOPMENT subversion bumped to 1.3.3

    The release sub-version has officially been bumped, incorporating most
    of the recent bug fixes.  We are now officially at release 1.2.5.

    The development sub-version has officially been bumped as well, to 1.3.3,
    to make it easier to distinguish between kernels running before and 
    after the recent serious bug fixes.

    There are two more serious bug fixes under test for the RELEASE (they
    have already gone into HEAD), so the release sub-version will probably 
    be bumped again in ~2 weeks, but I didn't want to hold the existing fixes
    up that long so I'm going to do it twice.

Shouldn't we reflect the entire homepage for this?  Just 1.2 on the
frontpage is a bit misleading and given the amount of bug fixes not
desirable either.

No one's in charge of updating homepage?

    I'll change it a little, but I don't really want to put sub-versions
    on the HTML pages because its yet another thing that would have to be
    tracked, and I don't want bumping a subversion to become a chore.

Given the changes for 1.2, it is quite worthwhile, no?  Some of these fixes
are real PITAs for users.

But hey, it's your baby. :P

   Yah, yah, you're right.  Just another thing that's going to get out of
   date over time, though.  But it is important information.

One of the reasons I stuck everything in XML/XSL files that made sense.  One
make command and everything is updated with the latest information that's
put in.  Then it is just a matter of copying files.  Saves a lot of manual
hacking.

FreeBSD TCP/IP Cleanup and Optimizations

Hi!

A funded TCP/IP Cleanup and Optimizations for FreeBSD
is about to begin as stated on this page:
http://people.freebsd.org/~andre/tcpoptimization.html

May I know if these would-be optimizations will also
find their way into the DragonFly kernel?

Thanks.

-Miles

I think you will find Jeffrey Hsu already did a lot of cleanups, rewrites
and optimizations.

Furthermore, the optimization of FreeBSD is needed due to their way of SMP.
Our way of SMP is radically different, and dare I say easier, than theirs.

So I doubt much of that work would be ported over.  They are two radically
different beasts.

DragonFlyBSD / 386BSD 1.0 - modularity

Hi,

I have been reading up allot on the history of BSD based operating
systems, and I know that Net/FreeBSDs came from 386BSD 0.1 (based
heavily on 4.3 Net/2 tape with missing files replaced) with patch kits
applied.

As I understand it, 386BSD 1.0 was the continuation of 0.1 but with
the kernel modularized. Since I have read that DragonFlyBSD aims to
eventually try to run large components (such as VFS) in user land, I
was wondering whether conceptually they are at all similar? What is
the eventual aim of DragonFlyBSD and userland services?

I realise that this might seem stupid question since the code has
changed so much (4.4BSD-Lite code integrated, VM system...etc) but I
guess this is my attempt to try to understand things better, hopefully
with the aim of one day being able to help in some form.

I also wanted to ask if anybody knew any good books about the
architecture of BSD systems that can be read by someone no already
knowledgeable about kernel design.

Thanks in advance, Alex J Burke
