evance of Unicode has taken a huge leap forward
when Thomas Dickey made xterm became capable of displaying UTF-8
encoded Unicode character streams and Markus Kuhn coordinated the
creation of some suitable fonts. This work has been merged into
XFree86 4.0. For those of us still relying on an older release or
actually requiring an even newer version of xterm, I have made
ports available:
http://home.pages.de/~naddy/unix/freebsd/xterm.shar
http://home.pages.de/~naddy/unix/freebsd/ucs-fixed.shar
(Earlier versions of) these have been submitted in PRs #15545 and
#15840, but for some reason they have never been committed.

don't give up.
It's not immediatly who is responsible for this, but
it's something that is generally considered
an important future subject for freebsd development.
But you just need to figure out who is the right 'sponsor'.

Subject: Request for review (HW checksum patches)
I have a set of patches which allows offloading checksums to
NICs which support it (right now, only the Alteon based cards).
The patch is at http://www.freebsd.org/~jlemon/csum.patch.
Note that the alpha bits are currently untested.

Subject: Shim Code #error needed
I've been burned about 6 times now by the shim device support becoming
optional. Oh well, that's current.
However, I was thinking that it would be nice if there was something
simple to grep for to see what drivers still needed to be converted.
What would people think of my adding the following to the shim using
devices:

At least this way you get a decent error message when it fails to
work.
Comments?
