NetBSD 1.2 is the second public release of NetBSD for the DECstation and DECsystem family of computers. This release includes kernel support for ELF shared libraries, much of which is due to work by Per Fogelstrom (pefo@OpenBSD.ORG). Note that NetBSD/1.2 pmax still ships with statically-linked user binaries. Ultrix emulation for tty-aware applications is improved over NetBSD 1.1. Many NetBSD/pmax bugs have been fixed, including annoying bugs in the 4.4bsd-Lite/pmax SCSI drivers.
