+<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

+<P>
 GNU Mach is used as the default microkernel in the GNU/Hurd system.
 It is compatible with other popular Mach distributions.  The device
 drivers for block devices and network cards are taken from Linux 2.0.x
 kernel versions, and so a broad range of common hardware is supported.
 <P>
 However, the Linux device drivers have been improved greatly since the
-2.0.x version, and a new version of Mach based on the OSKit library is
-being worked on, which uses newer drivers and in general has cleaner
-machine specific support code.
