Since this is a maintenance release, only two of the components,
Krita and Kexi, added new features.
* New Krita Feature and Many Bugfixes
Krita, the image editing application of KOffice has gotten a new Color
Level filter. Among the bugfixes can be mentioned the wrong warning
telling the user that unsharp mask filter didn't work even though it did.
* New Kexi Features and Many Bugfixes
Kexi, the desktop database application competing with MS Access, is the
other application in KOffice that got new features in this release. Among
them can be mentioned a new combo box taking advantage of the database
relationships, and parameter queries. These features developed as an answer
to user's demand, will make programming database solutions much easier.
* Security Fix in Powerpoint Import Filter
There is a security issue in the import filter for Powerpoint .ppt files
that is fixed with this release.
* Bugfixes For Most Other Components
Still installs and deinstalls cleanly on i386.
XXX: NetBSD's Linux emulation on amd64 is not good enough for it
yet, but this way it's easier to install Linux Java for improving
the emulation.
new script BUILD-NetBSD which is a wrapper around build.sh, setting
OBJDIR, etc., and intended to start from a plain source tree and end
up with a cdrom image, with or without x. creates a manifest for
etcmanage. It also has an install option which does a merge of /etc
with etcmanage, but this needs to be done on the same machine as the
build.
new script INSTALL-NetBSD which takes a releasedir and does a binary
upgrade (kernel, userland, merges etc with etcmange, but DOES NOT
TOUCH BOOTBLOCKS). Can be run on a machine other than the build
host.

Fixed a bug in the MULTIBOOT case with kernels like GENERIC.MPACPI.
These kind of kernels do not define "options MULTIBOOT" because
they include another config file that has defined the option.
Rather than using grep -q MULTIBOOT on the kernel config file,
use config(1) -x <kernel> and check if MULTIBOOT is set.
