Chameleon Svn Source Tree

Root/trunk/CHANGES

1- Added AtiPorts option to GraphicsEnabler, so users can override the default number of ports. It proved
2 to be useful when used to limit the number of ports that a framebuffer registers, which seems to be a
3 requirement on laptops that can only use 2 ports at the same time.
4 Thanks to Akbar for testing and AniV also for the tip:
5 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1959.msg10402.html#msg10402
6- Added NVidia ION AHCI controllers dev id to AHCIPortInjector kext.
7 Forgot to mention source on the commit: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1170.0.html
8- Renamed com.apple.Boot.plist to org.chameleon.Boot.plist.
9- Added "ShowInfo" key (enabled by default for now), which enables/disables the display of

12- Modules can now be selected between not compiled, compiled into chameleon, or compiled as modules.
13- New makefile + configuration system.
14- Added the BOOT2_MAX_LENGTH constant in memory.h. This is now used in mboot.c to relocate the correct
15 number of bytes for boot2.
16- Added new ATi/AMD Graphics Card Enabler.
17- Added new SMBIOS patcher.
18Includes changes to "manufacter" keys, from SM*manufacter to SM*manufacturer.
19- Added module system.
20- Added automatic P-States & C-States generation for native power management.
21- Added Booter Log Dump Tool
22- Added Booter message Logging (":/boot-log" ioreg property)
23- Removed -x32 option, use arch=i386 instead
24- Added automatic SMBusspeed detection for lga1156 core i5/7 cpus
25- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
26- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
27- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.

29- Revisited theme resource embedding. Using the device_<type> icons are optional with
30 the exception of device_generic.
31- Optimized memory detection speed
32- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
33- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
34 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
35- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
36 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
37- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
38- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
39- Optimized smbios table address search
40- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
41- Added ram table structures definitions
42- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
43- Changed "Default Partition" behavior to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
44- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
45- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
46- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
47- Nvidia injection fix
48- pciroot would not always return correct UID in auto detection mode
49- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
50- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
51 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
52 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
53- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
54 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
55
56- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
57 only if overridden
58- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
59 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig are now DEPRECATED.
60
61- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disappeared in his patch,
62 should be more discussed for RC6)
63- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
64- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
65 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ preprocessor definitions
66- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
67 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
68- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
69- Added the PciRoot auto detection feature imported from pcefi10.5
70- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
71 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
72- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
73 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
74- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
75- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
76 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
77 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
