Major new features:
- work-in-progress cpio frontend
- much less data copying when handling uncompressed archives
- fix bugs for handling very large archives
- support for more zip archives and some of the self-extracting ones
Changes in this release:
* Added two new manual pages, atf-c++-api and atf-sh-api, describing the
C++ and POSIX shell interfaces used to write test programs.
* Added a pkg-config file, useful to get the flags to build against the
C++ library or to easily detect the presence of ATF.
* Added a way for test cases to require a specific architecture and/or
machine type through the new 'require.arch' and 'require.machine'
meta-data properties, respectively.
* Added the 'timeout' property to test cases, useful to set an upper-bound
limit for the test's run time and thus prevent global test program stalls
due to the test case's misbehavior.
* Added the atf-exec(1) internal utility, used to execute a command after
changing the process group it belongs to.
* Added the atf-killpg(1) internal utility, used to kill process groups.
* Multiple portability fixes. Of special interest, full support for SunOS
(Solaris Express Developer Edition 2007/09) using the Sun Studio 12 C++
compiler.
* Fixed a serious bug that prevented atf-run(1) from working at all under
Fedora 8 x86_64. Due to the nature of the bug, other platforms were
likely affected too.
the interoperation between the NetBSD iSCSI target and the Linux
open-iscsi initiator.
Add details about inter-operation with the NetBSD iSCSI initiator.
Add dates to all entries.
Add last updated date to the COMPATIBILITY file.
of the physical size of the regular file. This is useful for presenting
ISO images to initiators, as in the following:
In /etc/iscsi/targets:
# present an ISO image
extent2 /usr/sets/20071214/release/iso/i386cd.iso 0 size
target2 ro extent2 any
% priv /etc/rc.d/iscsi_target restart
Stopping iscsi_target.

Please note that the NetBSD initiator can mount (via vnd) an iSCSI target
presented in this manner. The Microsoft iSCSI initiator sees the read-only
target as a normal SCSI disk, and fails (not surprisingly) to initialize
the disk. It's now possible to make ISO images available via iSCSI, and
NetBSD will DTRT.
In read-only targets, don't attempt to seek to the last block and rewrite
it, it may not work.
Don't assign 8 MB of unused space for use in each iSCSI disk - just use
1MB, which will be enough for the scatter gather iovecs.
Get rid of some dead code.

This should address some of the MD5 problems that are being seen on
some hosts at login time.
Re-run autoconf, autoheader and configure.
