+Name cache optimization
+-----------------------
+The name-cache would cache all files of the same name to the same bucket,
+which would put for instance all ".." entries in the same bucket.  We added
+the parent directory version to frustrate the hash, and improved the 
+management of the cache in various other ways while we were at it.

+Less restrictive swap-spaces
+----------------------------
+The need to compile the names of the swap devices into the kernel has been
+removed.  Now swapon will accept any block devices, up to the maximum
+number of swap devices configured in the kernel.

+Support for Ontrack Disk Manager Version 6.0
+--------------------------------------------
+Support has been added for disks which use Ontrack Disk Manager.
+The fdisk program does NOT know about it however, so make all changes

+Bad144 is back and working
+--------------------------
+Bad144 works again, though the semantics are slightly different than
+before in that the bad-spots are kept relative to the slice rather
+than absolute on the disk.

-ProAudioSpectrum SCSI driver
-----------------------------
-If you have a PAS board with a CD-ROM, and the MS-DOS driver is called
-TSLCDR.SYS, then the "pas" driver should work on your card.  You can
-attach disks, cdroms and tapes, but due to the nature of the hardware
-involved, the transfer rate is limited to < 690 kbyte/sec.  For CD-ROM
-use, this is generally more than enough.
