It's been a busy August of NetBSD hacking.
Notable changes include faster booting for very slow systems! A new optional script caching mechanism (rcorder_cache=YES) and various long-obsolete services are now disabled by default.
The in-kernel cleaner is now used by default for Log File Systems.
Support for Realtek/Killer E5000 5 gigabit Ethernet was added.
Cursor acceleration was added to the GeForce framebuffer driver.
Various disk-related commands were extended to show GPT label names.
