    Well, there have been a huge number of improvements made to drivers,
    particularly network drivers, and pkgsrc works a whole lot better.
    GCC-4.1 is in the tree now.  Those are the most visible changes.   

    There have been considerable changes made under the hood as part of
    the SYSLINK infrastructure for the clustering goals, the BGL has been
    pushed in more, and a lot of bugs have been fixed.

    When we get closer to the release I'll run through the commit logs to
    create a summary.
