+      <p>The ZFS code base in &os; regularly gets merges of new code,
+	staying in sync with latest OpenZFS/Illumos sources.  Among other
+	things, the latest merge included the following improvements:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>The ARC now mostly stores compressed data, the same as is
+	  stored on disks, decompressing them on demand.</li>
+
+	<li>The L2ARC now stores the same (compressed) data as ARC without
+	  recompression, and its RAM usage was further reduced.</li>
+
+	<li>The largest size of indirect block possible has been increased
+	  from 16KB fo 128KB, and speculative prefetching of indirect blocks
+	  is now performed.</li>
+
+	<li>Improved ordering of space allocation.</li>
+
+	<li>The SHA-512t256 and Skein hashing algorithms are now
+	  supported.</li>
+      </ul>
