41- Increased module hook arguments number to 6
42- Added Kabyl's pci subsystem id patch
43- Added Kabyl's smbios implemention (SMBiosGetters, see Kabyl's branch.) as a module (legacy smbios implementation (SMBiosPatcher) have been also rewritten as a module)
44- Added valv's experimental amd support in CPUFreq module (untested)
45- Added Slice's smbios_patcher fix
46- Increased Booter Log size according to the chameleon trunck (thanck to Azimutz)
47

65- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
66- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
67- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.

71- Optimized memory detection speed
72- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
73- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
74 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
75- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
76 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
77- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
78- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
79- Optimized smbios table address search
80- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
81- Added ram table structures definitions
82- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
83- Changed "Default Partition" behaviour to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
84- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
85- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
86- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
87- Nvidia injection fix
88- pciroot would not always return correct uuid in autodection mode
89- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
90- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
91 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
92 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
93- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
94 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
95
96- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
97 only if ovveriden
98- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
99 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig aer now DEPRECATED.
100
101- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disapeared in his patch, should be more discussed for RC6)
102- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
103- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
104 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ prerocessor definitions
105- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
106 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
107- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
108- Added the PciRoot autodetection feature imported from pcefi10.5
109- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
110 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
111- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
112 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
113- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
114- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
115 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
116 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
