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.
