• check IOPerm and IOPL for all platforms remember doing a bit, but without portio, there is not much need on other targets.
• Unix RTL Dev random notes
• Mac OS X compability IPC unit (when lag on Cider lessens, mostly done) Jonas worked on it in 2.2 (2.4?) times, I did some common cleanups.
• (libc) Directly redirect pipe functions in unit Unix to libc, instead of implement them on top of pipe()
• 64-bit filesystem support. default on unix. Afaik 2.6 got a lot of unix/sysutils etc files adapted.
• FPC_USE_LIBCify netdb cnetdb in 2.4
• KQueue
• most 1.0.x deprecations now done, 3.2 gets rid of linux stat union.
