+ <p>Support for accessing floating-point registers has been
+ added. This uses the same KPI as i386 and amd64. This will
+ allow for handling places where the floating-point state may be
+ modified, for example when calling into UEFI.</p>
+
+ <p>Support for the optional ARMv8 AES instructions was added to
+ the kernel. This makes use fo the ability to store and restore
+ the floating point state. Tests have shown a significant
+ improvement in AES performance on ThunderX hardware.</p>
+
+ <p>The Cortex Strings <tt>memcpy</tt> and <tt>memmove</tt>
+ functions have been imported into the kernel. These are
+ optimised implementations of these common functions.</p>
+
+ <p>&os; now boots on the SoftIron Overdrive 3000 using ACPI.
+ The needed changes for this have been submitted to phabricator
+ for review. This includes booting with SMP enabled, and all
+ currently supported devices.</p>
+
+ <p>Support for the Raspberry Pi 3 has been committed. Most
+ devices work, with the exception of WiFi and Bluetooth, as these
+ are attached via an as-yet unsupported SDIO bus.</p>
