+Beginning with 1996,

+During his tenure,

+development migrated to CVS; ports to FreeBSD and many architectures on Linux
+(including ARM, IA-64, MIPS, PA-RISC, PowerPC, s390, SPARC) were introduced.

+Since then,

+gained support for several new Linux architectures (AMD64, s390x, SuperH),

+gained support for AArch64, ARC, AVR32, Blackfin, Meta, Nios II, OpenSISC 1000,
