    • Use PTHREAD_MUTEX_STRICT_NP as default mutex type.
    • Added pthread spinlock and barrier routines.
    • Added pthread_mutex_timedlock(3) and sem_timedwait(3).
    • Added pthread_condattr_setclock(3).
    • Added support for live multi-threaded debugging in gdb(1).
    • Improved handling for rusage totals and interval timers in threaded processes.
    • Changed the RLIMIT_NPROC rlimit to count processes instead of threads.
    • Added a new system limit kern.maxthread for the max number of threads.
    • Closed race conditions in thread creation, and in fork(2) and open(2) in a threaded process.

                  • ssh(1): Delay setting tty_flag so RequestTTY options are correctly picked up. (bz#1995)
                  • sshd(8): Fix handling of /etc/nologin incorrectly being applied to root on platforms that use login_cap.
                  • </ul> </li> </ul>
