By meklort, Change options.o so that it reloads the system config as well. Also change it so that it uses that config for variables (NOTE: if the calue exists in chameleonConfig, it's used instead.
1- Modules can now be selected between not compiled, compiled into chameleon, or compiled as modules.
2- New makefile + configuration system.
3- Added the BOOT2_MAX_LENGTH constant in memory.h. This is now used in mboot.c to relocate the correct
4 number of bytes for boot2.
5- Added new ATi/AMD Graphics Card Enabler.
6- Added new SMBIOS patcher.
7Includes changes to "manufacter" keys, from SM*manufacter to SM*manufacturer.
8- Added module system.
9- Added automatic P-States & C-States generation for native power management.
10- Added Booter Log Dump Tool
11- Added Booter message Logging (":/boot-log" ioreg property)
12- Removed -x32 option, use arch=i386 instead
13- Added automatic SMBusspeed detection for lga1156 core i5/7 cpus
14- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
15- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
16- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.
17 Use device_<type>_o.png in theme folder. Credits goes to Blackosx.
18- Revisited theme resource embedding. Using the device_<type> icons are optional with
19 the exception of device_generic.
20- Optimized memory detection speed
21- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
22- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
23 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
24- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
25 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
26- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
27- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
28- Optimized smbios table address search
29- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
30- Added ram table structures definitions
31- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
32- Changed "Default Partition" behaviour to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
33- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
34- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
35- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
36- Nvidia injection fix
37- pciroot would not always return correct UID in autodection mode
38- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
39- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
40 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
41 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
42- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
43 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
44
45- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
46 only if overridden
47- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
48 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig are now DEPRECATED.
49
50- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disappeared in his patch,
51 should be more discussed for RC6)
52- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
53- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
54 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ preprocessor definitions
55- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
56 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
57- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
58- Added the PciRoot auto detection feature imported from pcefi10.5
59- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
60 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
61- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
62 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
63- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
64- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
65 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
66 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
