4- Added a mechanism to detect extra mkexts/kexts before loading the kernelCache
5- Moved smp code to Erich Boleyn's smp-imps (not fully implemented yet)
6- Added the UseKernelCache option only for compatibility with the trunk ("Yes" have no effect, since it's the default),
7 the Flag "-F" which do the same things is still valid

13- Fixed a bug related to ACPI and the machine with a rsd table revision > 0 (acpi_tools.c) (thanck to StephN666 for testing)
14

41 PM type set by the cpu features
42- Added new drop acpi table mechanism, now it's really able to drop any tables
43- BootHelp is not anymore embed by default in the bootloader core, if you need the help at boot time, just install your BootHelp.txt in /Extra/ (for now GUI module still embed it)
44- Fixed the HelloWorld module (broken since i have increased module hook arguments number)
45
46- "-F" now mean do not use prelinked kernel

50 with or without modules
51- Boot helper support (raid) is now an option (992 bytes saved)
52- Fixed an issue where the prelinked kernel can't be found (the bootloader should now be fully compatible with the kextcache command line tool).
53 (Also merged both adler32 function previously located in drivers.c and boot.c into one (adler32) located in boot.c)
54- returned to malloc by default, instead of safe_malloc, safe_malloc(+1280 bytes) is now an option (as in revolution 616+)
55- APM support is now optional (704 bytes saved)
56- Fixed add_symbol function
57- Increased module hook arguments number to 6
58- Added Kabyl's pci subsystem id patch
59- Added Kabyl's smbios implemention (SMBiosGetters, see Kabyl's branch.) as a module (legacy smbios implementation (SMBiosPatcher) have been also rewritten as a module)
60- Added valv's experimental amd support in CPUFreq module (untested)
61- Added Slice's smbios_patcher fix
62- Increased Booter Log size according to the chameleon trunck (thanck to Azimutz)
63

74-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
75
76- Added Booter Log Dump Tool
77- Added Booter message Logging (":/boot-log" ioreg property)

87- Optimized memory detection speed
88- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
89- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
90 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
91- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
92 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
93- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...

101- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
102- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.

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