3 see - http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,2158.msg10345/boardseen.html#new - for more info.
4- Applied Vladimir Zidar's hibernate patch on hibernateEnabler

9- Improved c-states support in AcpiCodec
10
11- Sync'd nvidia.c and gma.c (see GraphicEnabler module) to the trunk

51 PM type set by the cpu features
52- Added new drop acpi table mechanism, now it's really able to drop any tables
53- 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)
54- Fixed the HelloWorld module (broken since i have increased module hook arguments number)
55
56- "-F" now mean do not use prelinked kernel

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

114- pciroot would not always return correct uuid in autodection mode
115- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
116- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
117 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
118 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
119- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
120 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
121
122- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
123 only if ovveriden
124- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
125 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig aer now DEPRECATED.
126
127- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disapeared in his patch, should be more discussed for RC6)
128- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
129- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
130 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ prerocessor definitions

132 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
133- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
134- Added the PciRoot autodetection feature imported from pcefi10.5
135- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
136 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
137- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
138 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
139- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
140- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
141 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
142 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
