The config file is intended to be fairly human-readable, as +well as machine-readable. + +New in release 1.4.1: + +Substantial updates to DEVINFO. Most notably: + - hdc and hdd are now the drives on the 2nd IDE controller. + This is NOT how it used to be, nor is it how the shell MAKEDEV + does it, but it's what the kernel source indicates is right. + - SCSI tapes were totally messed up in the last release. + - New and more appropriate QIC device names. + - Assorted fixes. (See DEVINFO itself for more details.) + +Some changes to the sample MAKEDEV.cfg: + - added a class "system" (root.system, mode 660) + - do not omit hdc and hdd by default, as they now mean + something more useful than they used to. + + ---------------- + +New in release 1.4: + +First general public release. +Wrote man pages. + + ---------------- + +Release 1.3: + +First tentative limited-distribution release. + |
