+ <body>
+ <p>The QLogic HBA driver <tt>isp(4)</tt> received a
+ substantial set of changes. Their primary goal was to make Fibre
+ Channel target role work well with CTL, but many other things were
+ also fixed/improved:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Added support for modern 16Gbps 26xx FC cards.</li>
+
+ <li>The firmware in <tt>ispfw(4)</tt> were updated to the
+ latest versions.</li>
+
+ <li>Target role support was fixed and tested for all FC cards from
+ ancient 1Gbps 22xx to modern 16Gbps 26xx.</li>
+
+ <li>Port database handling was unified for target and initiator
+ roles, allowing HBA port to play both roles at the same time.</li>
+
+ <li>The maximal number of ports was increased from 256 to
+ 1024.</li>
+
+ <li>Multi-ID (NPIV) functionality was fixed/implemented, allowing
+ 24xx and above cards to provide up to 255 virtual FC ports per
+ physical port.</li>
+
+ <li>Added support for 8-byte LUNs for 24xx and above cards.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>The code is committed to &os; head and stable/10 branches.</p>
