  * acpi(4): Import acpica-unix-20090521.
+ * buf/bio: New read-prioitizing bioq sort algorithm.  The new algorithm does a much better job
+   prioritizing reads over writes and also contains features to avoid starving-out writes.  It
+   works best with CAM based drivers but NATA uses some of its functionality too.
+ * buffer-cache: Improved pipe-lining for writes.
  * devfs(5): Replaced the static /dev directory with a dynamic device file system written by Alex Hornung during the Google Summer of Code 2009.
+  * All block devices now auto-probe their slices and partitions.
+  * All block devices now auto-probe serial numbers and may be mounted and otherwise referenced by serial number.
+  * Unix98 pty support.
+  * loader.conf now supports specifying the root device by serial number.
  * ddb(4): Fix an IPI messaging lockup which can occur while in ddb(4).
  * disklabel64(5): Add UFS + HAMMER boot support (was previously just HAMMER boot support).
  * drm(4): Sync code with latest from FreeBSD.
