New Revision: 224875
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/224875
Log:
Bump __FreeBSD_version to reflect the availability of capabilities, but
also capability-related changes to fget(9). This is likely not part of
a formal KPI, but the nvidia driver (at least) uses it.
Mention /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr} breakage that appears in certain
kernel revisions as best avoided!

+20110815:
+ During the merge of Capsicum features, the fget(9) KPI was modified.
+ This may require the rebuilding of out-of-tree device drivers --
+ issues have been reported specifically with the nVidia device driver.
+ __FreeBSD_version is bumped to 900041.
+
+ Also, there is a period between 20110811 and 20110814 where the
+ special devices /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr} did not work correctly.
+ Building world from a kernel during that window may not work.
