+The latest release of GNU Mach is version 1.3, 2002-05-28. It features:
+<UL>
+<LI>Bug fixes.</LI>
+<LI>The kernel now directly supports "boot scripts" in the form of
+multiboot module names with the same syntax as the Hurd's
+<code>serverboot</code> program. That is, instead of telling GRUB
+<code>module /boot/serverboot</code>, you can give GRUB a series of
+commands like <code>module /hurd/ext2fs ${...}</code> where the syntax
+after <code>module</code> is the same as in boot scripts for Hurd's
+<code>serverboot</code>.</LI>
+<LI>The kernel message device <code>kmsg</code> is now enabled by
+default. </code>--disable-kmsg</code> turns it off.</LI>
+<LI>Large disks (>= 10GB) are now correctly supported, the new
+<code>get_status</code> call <code>DEV_GET_RECORDS</code> can return
+the number of records of a device.</LI>
+<LI>Lots of tweaks have been done to the virtual memory management to
+make it perform better on today's machines.</LI>
+<LI>The console supports ANSI escape sequences for colors and
+attributes.</LI>
+<LI>Support for the terminal speeds B57600 and B115200 has been
+added.</LI>
