Waiting for any non-zero duration currently waits for at least one timer
cycle (10 ms), which is especially expensive during early boot.
The current workaround of simply reading the status 14 times seems really
suspicious although the osdev wiki documents it, but let's see how well it
works on real hardware, it's probably good enough.
Try to determine the initial selected drive to save one drive selection.
The .tix.tar.xz binary package format now stores the contents in the root
rather than the data/ subdirectory and the tix metadata now has the same
layout as the loose files in /tix, such that a .tix.tar.xz package can
simply be directly extracted into the filesystem. The /tix/manifest/ is now
included in the binary package rather than being generated on installation.
The /tix/collection.conf and /tix/tixinfo metadata files are now in the
tix-vars(1) format in the style of port(5).
The /tix/installed.list file has been removed since it isn't loose file
compatible and one can list the /tix/tixinfo directory instead.
The /tix/repository.list file has been removed since the feature is unused
and doesn't match the future direction of tix.
The kernel support for tix binary packages has been removed since it will
simply install by extracting the tar archive into the root filesystem.
Add the post-install sha256sum to the port version stamp.
The custom initrd format was originally useful when it was mounted,
however it has been extracted into the ramfs for a very long time and
has no advantages over the standard tar format which can be readily
created and modified using standard tools. The kernel initrd(7) support
already supports tar, so this change simply switches the format.
This change adds the display(1) graphical user interface and desktop
environment with basic windowing support and the graphical terminal(1)
emulator along with integrations in chkblayout(1), chvideomode(1),
sysinstall(8), sysupgrade(8), as well as the games and ports.
Adopt the Aurora procedural wallpaper in display(1) and login(8).
Remove the obsolete dispd.
Juhani contributed keyboard and video mode APIs to the display protocol
and other miscellaneous changes.
dzwdz contributed the initial functioning window buttons, improved title
bar, window tiling, and minor bug fixes

Previously chvideomode(1) used {get,set}termmode(2) as well as
tcgetwincurpos(2), which are non-standard and only work in the kernel
terminal.
This necessitates changing the keybind for exiting the menu from esc to
Q, as there is no good standard way to disambiguate between escape
character by itself and the start of an escape sequence.
Pagination code deals with two indices for video modes, one relative to
the start of video modes array and one relative to the start of current
page. Previously when displaying the list of modes, the video mode array
would be accessed using the one relative to the start of the current
page, meaning that pages 2 and onwards displayed repeats of the video
modes on page 1. This changes the the display code to use indices
relative to the start of the video modes array when accessing the array.
Previously setting a mode from the command line would only work if it
was one of the pre-set resolutions offered by the driver. If the driver
supported custom resolutions and a user tried to set one on the command
line, chvideomode(1) would instead launch in interactive mode.
