I think some mention of ATAPI SATA drives should be mentioned. I have an SATA DVD-RW drive that needs a 7.0 kernel to be recognized, and given some comments on the list, the problem seems to be have been support for ATAPI SATA drives on FreeBSD 6.x(it's not in -STABLE). The chipset on the motherboard is "supported" under 6.x and it's a generic DVD-RW drive, but combined it's not supported without -CURRENT. I think <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=111084&cat=kern> is related but I haven't tested the code(I'm currently on 6-STABLE and about to upgrade to 7-CURRENT kernel and 6-STABLE userland).

Hi,

As some of you may know, I'm maintaining a web page which aims to enumerate and describe major new features for FreeBSD 7, located at http://ivoras.sharanet.org/freebsd/freebsd7.html .

Since 7.0 should be released "soon", I'd like to update the page with the current status of the projects. In particular, I'd like to mark projects that won't be ready for 7.0. To do so, I need input from the projects' authors and maintainers. So if you are listed on the page and your project status is updated and no longer matches what's written on the page, please respond to this thread. Also, if a feature won't be ready for 7.0 but will be sometime during 7.x, please state so.

Of course, additions, corrections, etc. are also welcome.

Thanks :)
