This is the first release of Unleashed - an operating system fork of
illumos.  For more information about Unleashed itself, see our website [1].

After taking way too long, I think we managed to get all the pieces in place
to make the first release.  I hope that future releases will be much more
timely.

Given our goals, it should not surprise anyone that we managed to rip out a
*lot* of code.  While in general "lines of code" is a horrible metric, I
think it demonstrates the magnitude of our changes quite well.  As of today,
the Unleashed repo [2] has about 15.3Mloc while illumos-gate has 20.3Mloc.
The extent of changes doesn't stop there.  We did not just remove code, but
in quite a few instances added code (e.g., import of bmake and libressl) or
replaced existing code with a better version from one of the BSDs (e.g.,
sed/grep/awk).

In the future, these emails will contain a list of changes from the previous
release.  Obviously, this being the first release means that there is no
previous release to compare against.  So, these are changes we've made since
we forked the illumos-gate repo.

With all this said, give the release a spin.  If you find any issues or want
to contribute, let us know on IRC or the mailing list.

Happy hacking!

Jeff.

 * man(1) is mandoc. mandoc.db support added, eliminating the need for
   manpage symlinks.
 * socket interfaces are now in libc. libsocket, libxnet and libnsl remain as
   filter libraries.
 * socket implementation was modified to be more reasonable by default, and it
   is no longer possible to choose an alternate socket implementation.
   msg_accrights was removed and msg_control members are now always visible in
   struct msghdr.
   Documentation was updated and moved to section 2: accept(2), bind(2),

 * make(1) is bmake(1) instead of dmake(1)
 * sed(1) replaced with a version imported from FreeBSD
 * locale data has been updated to CLDR v28; tools to generate it were imported
   from FreeBSD. This fixes many character classification errors.
