Good day!

        - automatic performance adjustment though apm[0]
        - lower speed for apm 91hz[1]
        - sleep-on-lid close[2]
        - better time keeping after suspend[3]
        - add driver for sharp remote control[4]
        - scaling of cpu max speed[5]

        Being worked on.[6]

        - usb client
        - sd/sdio support
        - cf xga support

        For additional info see

        daily changelog[7], openbsd source changes[8] and openbsd journal[9].

Mabuhay! barryg

Thanks barry, I actually did check out the changelog the other day and it does have some great things in it! I'm tempted to upgrade right now... if for no reason but the better time keeping  For a while I was upset that I had no graphical PIM but I've been using my powerbook for that. My Z really functions as a place to pop my gmail and to keep notes for the clients I visit.  It's amazing how well apache runs...

I'm running the 06-01-06 snaphot.

I've only noticed improvements since my last 3.8 install.

It no longer has problems from waking up, the clock is no longer behind..
The new sysctl options are great!

My Zaurus never ran better before!

That's good news. I'm upgrading my z now... it will be  nice not having to run ntpd -ds every time I start up
