-Subject:  New Hurd Snapshot
-X-Shopping-List: 
-	  (1) Starboard sauce (2) Cinematic lesions (3) Two-way alphabetic
-	  accordions

-
-A new Hurd snapshot has been placed on alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu in
-/pub/gnu/hurd-snap.tar.gz.
-
-It is expected that the next snapshot after this one will have signals
-basically working and thus be usable for a self-hosting system.  In
-addition, the next snapshot will probably have the current state of
-our networking code (which has been proceeding, but has been absent
-from the snapshots).
-
-Here is the NEWS about this current snapshot, however.  Because some
-big changes were made to the makefile and directory structure, things
-might have gotten inadvertently ommitted from the snapshot.  If this
-happened, please let me know ASAP and I'll fix it and make a new
-snapshot.

-August 8, 1994:
-
-Structural changes:
-
-Makefiles have been vastly improved and are simpler.  The programs
-`su', `ps', and `sh' have been moved from separate dirs into `utils';
-the programs `symlink' and `ifsock' have been moved into `trans'.
-
-Several changes were made to GCC use.  You should definitely get GCC
-version 2.6.0 now.  Version 2.6.1 will have distributed the proper
-`specs' file for the i386-gnu target, but it isn't quite ready yet, so
-you still have to copy hurd/gcc-specs into
-gcc-lib/i386-gnu/2.6.0/specs.
-
-
-Interface changes:
-
-The tioctl.defs suite is complete now.
-
-INTR RPC's have been changed; individual RPC's are no longer marked
-INTR.  Rather, entire interfaces are marked `INTR_INTERFACE' if they
-conform to the library's signalling/interruption expectations.
-
-There is a new magical retry type (for dir_pathtrans and fsys_getroot)
-called `machtype' and a new one `/'; the former is for @sys tweaks and
-the latter cleans up the retry of root-based symlinks a bit.
-
-There is a new interface `login.defs'.
-
-The "dotdot node" is no longer passed at fsys_startup time; instead,
-it is passed by fsys_getroot.
-
-
-Library changes:
-
-The ports library now does death-timeouts for multi-threaded servers;
-it doesn't actually work right yet, however.  Also the ports library
-has new features (soft vs. hard ports; no outstanding ports
-notifications) that enable server-death to be done cleanly.  (I hope;
-libdiskfs and ufs haven't yet been changed to use it, so libports
-might not actually have the right facilities yet.)
-
-The translator startup routines in libfshelp have been vastly improved
-(so that they can actually be used).
-
-Numerous bugfixes in libdiskfs, particularly relating to translator
-usage.  Use new magical retry type `/' when appropriate.  Use new
-dotdot node protocol.  O_FSYNC and O_NOATIME are now honored properly.
-Alternative methods of storing symlinks are now supported through new
-hooks.  
-
-The new dotdot protocol is now used by libtrivfs.  Also, users of the
-library are now able to set the atime and mtime when necessary.
-
-The special threads version of malloc has been placed back in
-libthreads now that the C library uses a Mach-safe version on its own.
-
-
-Program changes:
-
-The `boot' program no longer implements the tioctl interface now that
-the terminal driver works.
-
-A bug was fixed in the handling of pgrps in `proc'.
-
-Many bugfixes in term.  The tioctl interface is now implemented.  EOF
-processing is fixed; break characters now work right.  Signals and
-interruption are now done correctly.  VDISCARD works.  
-
-Ufs has Some bigs fixed in dir.c.  Filesystem upgraded to BSD 4.4.
-There are now some compatibility flags.  
-
-New program dev.trim does a very minimal /dev (but doesn't work yet).
-New program dev is an initial (but poor) attempt at a real /dev.
