As you'll see, the WWW pages have expanded a bit. In part this is because of the Big News, which is the arrival of FreeBSD packages, bringing FreeBSD up to par with Debian. The old box down the right-hand side of the page was starting to make the thing look lop-sided. (-:

More big news on the package front is the reorganization into a main "bundles" package and a group of "-run" packages. Lesser news is the addition of packages for enabling/running various further groups of services.

Comparatively small news are things like the change to the output of "system-control status" and "service-status", which now uses long form that displays more information. "svstat" retains its 1 line short form, however. There's also a "system-control cat" command, for dumping out service bundle configuration files. The new "emergency-login" fills the gap where FreeBSD lacks a "sulogin" (because it's hardwired into the old "init" and thus unusable separately), and also means that there's no need to rely upon the old System 5 utilities/Linux utilities for "sulogin" on Linux.

There is also a new roadmap WWW page. The Nosh Guide has also gained several new pages dealing with logging and the import of external stuff.
