I discovered that the only reason coldsync's ugen support doesn't work
out of the box for a Treo 270 (HandSpring Visor-based phone) is that
it uses a very low resolution sleep (one second) while waiting for USB
devices to appear in "transient" mode. Due to this, it almost always
misses the first packet in the HotSync, which comes from the Palm, and
after five seconds the entire process would time out.
Decrease the amount of time that is spent sleeping while waiting for USB
devices to appear so that it works every time.
(You probably do not want to try this without ugen(4) from yesterday
which will NOT panic when the USB device goes away before programs
with it open have closed their references.)

- A new network daemon, nfacctd, was introduced. It listens for
Netflow V1/V5 packets coming from the network, and then
processes data as pmacctd does.
- pmacctd's IP fragmentation handling has been strongly
enhanced.

*** NOTE ***
The preferences file format has changed, as have the periodic.conf(5) names.
Normally the default settings should be adequate, except when you need to
configure a proxy. Use $PREFIX/etc/portaudit.conf.sample as an example.
- moved portaudit to sbin
- clean up, merging stuff into the portaudit script
- better return codes and errors to stderr
- -f can check stdin now
- dropped ports tree auditing
- merged the periodic(8) scripts into one
- run daily auditing as `nobody'
- install html documentation for slonik
- this version is not compatible with beta3, you need to uninstall it from database.

Close a denial of service vulnerability identified by Georgi
Guninski which could lead to memory exhaustion with certain
input data. [Jeff Trawick]
*) SECURITY: CAN-2004-0488 (cve.mitre.org)

Details can be found here:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_2.0
- Use autoconf 2.59
- Add add SUEXEC_LOGFILE tunable to set suexec logfile [1]
- Silently ignore removal of libexec/apache2 directory
- Import latest version of apr_reslit.c from apr CVS which
adds timeout feature to apr_reslist_acquire().
This is required for future mod_logio-st.
- Add explicit dependency on libiconv (so nowwe support libiconv)
- Move Windows Update fix from MASTER_SITE_LOCAL to ports tree
- add WITH_EXPERIMENTAL_PATCHES knobs:
These patches are backports from apache CVS HEAD or apr CVS HEAD.
They have positive impacts on apache responsiveness but can be
instable
and are NOT currently supported by apache/apr teams.
* exp-http-ready.patch: add "httpready" support for ACCEPT_FILTER
(currently apache 2 only support "dataready")
* exp-apr-kqueue.patch: add support for kqueue in apr_poll().
This patch greatly improves apache network performance (up to
18% according to the author, on my test box, between 13% and 21%)
Test and feedback on -STABLE are welcome ;)

portupgrade:
- Make -PP/--use-packages-only work better, just as I originally
intended. Now packages are correctly identified using
pkg_info(1), "LATEST_LINK" files are also properly detected.
Related informational messages have also been improved.
It turned out that the LATEST_LINK/NO_LATEST_LINK detection was
broken long ago and hasn't been working for long.
pkg_fetch(1):
- Properly rename a "latest link" file with a full package name with
version part.
pkgtools.conf(5):
- Improve and unify the method for pattern matching in MAKE_ARGS,
BEFOREBUILD, BEFOREDEINSTALL and AFTERINSTALL variables.
This should fix some cases where it looks like MAKE_ARGS entries
are ignored.
