+Yes, it's a point release only 3 days after the last one! A new record
+for us! :-) In general, this is NOT something we'd actually generally do
+but 1.1.5 is a special case, being our last release for this branch and one
+likely to be used for some time. It's worth-while to make sure that as many
+of the obvious stumbling blocks are removed, if only to reduce our question
+load! :)
+
+Those of you who are staring at this release in indisguised horror after
+downloading the entire 1.1.5R release need not worry - upgrading from
+1.1.5R to 1.1.5.1R is easy, and I'll show this step by step as I document
+each change below.
+
+
+List of (reported) problems fixed:
+----------------------------------
+
+PROBLEM 1: Telnet/rlogin/su falls over with:
+ ld.so: vi: libcrypt.so.1.1: No such file or directory
+
+CAUSE: During the `non-crypt' build only the libcrypt.a library was removed,
+leaving a dependency on libcrypt.so.1.1. This library is not shipped with
+the exportable release, for obvious reasons.
+
+FIX FOR 1.1.5R USERS: 1.1.5R users must install the secrdist. In the U.S.,
+this is easy - just install the one provided with 1.1.5R and skip ahead to
+problem 2 since the rest that follows is for non-domestic users only.
+
+Abroad, this is a little harder in that users must grab one of the `foreign'
+secrdists from one of the following two sites:
+
+ South Africa: braae.ru.ac.za:/pub/FreeBSD/securedist/
+ owl.und.ac.za (currently uncertain)
+ Iceland: ftp.veda.is:/pub/crypt/FreeBSD/
+
+These secrdists are compiled for FreeBSD 1.1R, and as such have a shared
+library revision number of 1.0 for libcrypt. This library has NOT changed,
+so what I recommend is NOT to install the entire secrdist using the EXTRACT
+script, but to simply do the following in a temporary directory somewhere:
+
+ Extract the des tarball as follows:
+
+ cat des_tgz.a* | tar xvzf -
+
+ Move the 1.1 libcrypt shared library (which has NOT changed, despite the
+ version number bump) into place like so:
+
+ mv usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1.1
+
+This will leave you a full set of 1.1.5R binaries and a working crypt library.
+
+
+PROBLEM 2: Installation onto wd1 fails after insertion of filesystem disk.
+
+CAUSE: The filesystem floppy didn't have device entries for wd1, making
+ installations onto the second drive fail for IDE drives (it works
+ for SCSI drives, which were my test case :-( ).
+
+FIX FOR 1.1.5R USERS: Just grab the filesystem floppy from 1.1.5.1R.
+
+
+PROBLEM 3: There are .o files in the sys.* collection of the srcdist.
+
+CAUSE: The src-tarball target in the installation procedure forgot to
+ clean the GENERIC* kernels out before bunding! :(
+
+FIX FOR 1.1.5R USERS: If you've already grabbed it, don't sweat it - just
+remove the extra files and be happy! If not (say you've already grabbed
+the 1.1.5R bindist but not the srcdist), then simply grab the 1.1.5.1R
+srcdist.
+
+
+PROBLEM 4: EXTRACT.sh in the srcdist can't find the `bin.*' files.
+
+CAUSE: I moved the bin.aa and bin.ab files to srcbin.aa and srcbin.ab
+ in order to avoid problems with the `extract' command, but forgot
+ to update the EXTRACT.sh script.
+
+FIX FOR 1.1.5R USERS: Simply use the `extract' command on srcbin, or
+edit the EXTRACT.sh script to look for srcbin.* instead of bin.* (it's
+the second extract from the top, after base.*). You can also simply grab the
+EXTRACT.sh file from 1.1.5.1's srcdist.
+
+
+PROBLEM 5: Kerberos source code missing.
+
+CAUSE: This wasn't really a problem so much as a deliberate omission.
+ Kerberos support was never fully integrated from the binary
+ distribution point of view and my initial decision was to
+ simply leave it out. I've since reconsidered this decision somewhat
+ and decided to make the drop-in sources available at least since
+ there's no harm in doing so and they work quite well. This is, of
+ course, encription software subject to the SAME EXPORT RESTRICTIONS
+ as the DES code. Do NOT grab the secrdist distribution if you're
+ outside the U.S.!
+
+FIX FOR 1.1.5R USERS: Grab the 1.1.5.1 secrdist.
+
+That's it! See, I told you it wasn't so bad! :-) Of purely academic
+interest will probably also be the changes to /usr/src/etc/Makefile
+I had to make to fix all the problems above (these were ALL release
+problems, not source problems). I'll be including a diff in this
+directory shortly.
+
+Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience some of these problems may have
+caused 1.1.5R users!

+What's new in 1.1.5? Well... Let's try and count the ways..
+
+-- KERNEL IMPROVEMENTS SINCE FreeBSD 1.1 --
+
+1) Bounce buffers. This allows systems to use bus master ISA controllers
+ in systems with more than 16MB of memory.
+
+2) VM performance improvements. Many new enhancements to the Mach derived
+ VM system including page table preloading (dramatically reduces page
+ faults); page usage statistics gathering (improves page replacement
+ thus reducing thrashing); clustered page-ins and page-outs (reduces
+ paging I/O overhead).
+
+3) Overall kernel performance improvements. Some critical functions have
+ been inlined; the trap, pmap, and other critical code has been
+ optimized, etc.
+
+4) Improved scheduling algorithm. Improves interactive performance on
+ busy machines, expecially in cases where lots of software builds are
+ occurring.
+
+5) Disk I/O clustering. Improves the I/O speed dramatically on most disk
+ drives.
+
+6) Vastly superior optional floating point emulator from Bill Metzenthen.
+ Faster and more reliable/accurate/complete emulation and has fewer bugs.
+ Provided as an option in the kernel (the original emulator is still
+ the default).
+
+7) IP Multicast support. Allows reception of Internet multicast packets.
+
+8) Improved sound support. Version 2.5 of Hannu Savolainen's VoxWare sound
+ drivers. Supports SoundBlaster, PAS, GUS, and other common sound boards.
+
+9) New device support for the Seagate ST01/ST02 and Future Domain 950 SCSI
+ adapters.
+
+10) X10 device driver from Gene Stark for X-10 style remote power control.
+ (such as Radio Shack "Plug 'n Power")
+
+11) PS/2 mouse driver from Erik Forsberg.
+
+12) Busmouse driver from Rick Macklem.
+
+13) IBM/National PCMCIA ethernet driver from Keith Moore.
+
+14) Improved floppy driver support.
+
+15) Much improved syscons driver (now default) with user-editable ascii
+ keymaps and many other new features.
+
+16) Many improvements and fixes to nearly every supported device driver.
+
+17) Many improvements and fixes scattered throughout the kernel.
+
+18) New pcaudio driver allows `Sun style' .au files to be played through the
+ speaker.
+
+19) Substantial changes in sio for supporting multiport and bidirectional
+ comms. Please see the sio man page for details.
+
+-- USER CODE IMPROVEMENTS SINCE FreeBSD 1.1 --
+
+1) Man pages now compressed by default, saving quite a bit of space for
+ small configurations.
+
+2) S/Key one-time password support for enhanced network security.
+
+3) Many many bug fixes and miscellaneous enhancements.
+
+4) Sun math library now available for faster FPU support (see #5).
+
+5) New /etc/make.conf mechanism allows users to tailor how their systems
+ are built (from source) and switch various options on and off.
+
+6) C++ shared libs are now fully supported (and libg++ shared by default).
+
+7) The programs `vidcontrol' and `kbdcontrol' replace the old `syscons'.
