42- Increased module hook arguments number to 6
43- Added Kabyl's pci subsystem id patch

67- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
68- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.

72- Optimized memory detection speed
73- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
74- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
75 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
76- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
77 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
78- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
79- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
80- Optimized smbios table address search
81- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
82- Added ram table structures definitions
83- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
84- Changed "Default Partition" behaviour to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
85- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
86- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
87- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.

89- pciroot would not always return correct uuid in autodection mode
90- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
91- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
92 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
93 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
94- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
95 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
96
97- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
98 only if ovveriden
99- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
100 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig aer now DEPRECATED.
101
102- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disapeared in his patch, should be more discussed for RC6)
103- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
104- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
105 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ prerocessor definitions
106- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
107 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
108- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
109- Added the PciRoot autodetection feature imported from pcefi10.5
110- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
111 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
112- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
113 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
114- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
115- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
116 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
117 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
