+      <p>The LLVM address sanitizer (Asan) has been ported to &os;.
+	The mainline version of LLVM is known to pass all unit and lit
+	Asan tests without unexpected failures on FreeBSD 10.0.</p>
+
+      <p>A buildbot running sanitizers tests under FreeBSD stable/10
+	has been established.  See the Links section.</p>
+
+      <p>In order to make it possible to run programs with sanitizers
+	checks enabled on FreeBSD a new kernel state named
+	<tt>kern.proc_vmmap_skip_resident_count</tt> has been added.
+	See the Links section.</p>
+
+      <p>Note that running Asan tests on stable/10 requires that state
+	to be set to 1.</p>
+
+      <p>A similar work dedicated to add FreeBSD support to the thread
+	sanitizer (Tsan) is in progress.</p>

+      <p>This is a Google Summer of code project that aims to provide
+	a noninteractive FreeBSD installation from the network.  In
+	the first part, an implementation was added for scripted
+	<tt>bsdinstall(8)</tt>. It supports variables like: KEYMAP,
+	HOSTNAME, MIRROR, RELEASE, TIMEZONE, DAEMONS, ROOTPWHASH, and
+	USERS.  Network configuration, ZFS options, and others are
+	also included.</p>
+
+      <p>Second part of project is about booting the fai (Fully
+	Automatic Installer) from network by PXE. Made installer
+	distro based on mfsbsd. After boot fai looks for
+	"bootfile-name" parameter from DHCP server which tell fai
+	where bsdinstall script located is. Fai supports mac-based
+	config or default, if mac-based file doesn't exist.</p>

+	needs more tests in different configurations. Support for more
