Security is considered an essential part of all IT processes, but is your IT department doing all that it can? This whitepaper focuses on how IT unknowingly...
While it is relatively easy to provision new users with initial access to applications and other information resources, it is not so easy to ensure over...
Various things all over the map, most of them not necessarily
very visible to most people. ALSA update, and tons of small fixes
pretty much everywhere.
The one thing that people may actually _notice_ is that you get
a lot more warnings for some drivers due to the stricter
type-checks for PCI memory mapping. They are harmless (code
generation should be the same), and we'll work on trying to fix up
the drivers as we go along, but they can be a bit daunting if you
happen to enable some of the less type-friendly drivers right
now..
