The DragonFly 2.6 release is scheduled for mid-March, so developers
need to start thinking about stability & conformance with pkgsrc
builds and such.
With so many cool features in the tree this cycle this is going
to be a huge release for us, so lets make it a good one.

I will be working on select() (which might have an issue),
tmpfs & swapcache testing, and finishing up the HAMMER REDO FIFO
recovery code. And other minor things. There may also be an issue
in the HAMMER mirroring code somewhere which I am looking into.
On the swapcache front, I finished up the last major bit of work
which is an attempt to make file data caching more useful by
introducing chflags flags to better control what data gets cached
and what does not. The chflags and swapcache manual pages in HEAD
describe the changes. This doesn't effect meta-data caching which
works extremely well.
The last week or two of testing swapcache on live boxes has proceeded
very well. No corruption has occurred testing with either HAMMER or
UFS. Most dragonflybsd.org machines (all except Avalon and pkgbox64)
now have 40G SSDs with swapcache enabled.
