Root/branches/ErmaC/Trunk/CHANGES

1- Added support for using UUIDs with ext2 filesystems (credits to bitz): http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/issues/208/
2- Added Guerrero's patch on gui.c: http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/issues/178/
3- cparm : Ported the OS detection to the trunk, updated the default theme to v 1.1 (credit to blackosx)
4- Added scorpius's patch (to get an unstretched boot screen for nVidia cards on DVI) in boot0.s,
5 disabled by default: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,2158.0.html
6- Added exFAT volume label support (FAT64) support (credit to dmazar):
7 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,2095.0.html
8- disableIRQs() http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=255866&view=findpost&p=1677779
9 Port of original patch by: CPARM (who basically did this in boot.c) Thanks!
10 The ACPI specification dictates that the 8259 (PC-AT compatible) vectors
11 must be disabled (that is, masked) when enabling the ACPI APIC operation
12 but this isn't done (apparently) on all mobo's and thus we do that here.
13- Added AtiPorts option to GraphicsEnabler, so users can override the default number of ports. It proved
14 to be useful when used to limit the number of ports that a framebuffer registers, which seems to be a
15 requirement on laptops that can only use 2 ports at the same time.
16 Thanks to Akbar for testing and AniV also for the tip:
17 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1959.msg10402.html#msg10402
18- Added NVidia ION AHCI controllers dev id to AHCIPortInjector kext.
19 Forgot to mention source on the commit: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1170.0.html
20- Renamed com.apple.Boot.plist to org.chameleon.Boot.plist.
21- Added "ShowInfo" key (enabled by default for now), which enables/disables the display of
22 partition and resolution related info, on the Gui.
23 This info may not play well with some custom themes.
24- Modules can now be selected between not compiled, compiled into chameleon, or compiled as modules.
25- New makefile + configuration system.
26- Added the BOOT2_MAX_LENGTH constant in memory.h. This is now used in mboot.c to relocate the correct
27 number of bytes for boot2.
28- Added new ATi/AMD Graphics Card Enabler.
29- Added new SMBIOS patcher.
30Includes changes to "manufacter" keys, from SM*manufacter to SM*manufacturer.
31- Added module system.
32- Added automatic P-States & C-States generation for native power management.
33- Added Booter Log Dump Tool
34- Added Booter message Logging (":/boot-log" ioreg property)
35- Removed -x32 option, use arch=i386 instead
36- Added automatic SMBusspeed detection for lga1156 core i5/7 cpus
37- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
38- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
39- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.
40 Use device_<type>_o.png in theme folder. Credits goes to Blackosx.
41- Revisited theme resource embedding. Using the device_<type> icons are optional with
42 the exception of device_generic.
43- Optimized memory detection speed
44- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
45- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
46 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
47- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
48 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
49- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
50- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
51- Optimized smbios table address search
52- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
53- Added ram table structures definitions
54- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
55- Changed "Default Partition" behavior to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
56- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
57- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
58- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
59- Nvidia injection fix
60- pciroot would not always return correct UID in auto detection mode
61- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
62- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
63 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
64 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
65- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
66 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
67
68- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
69 only if overridden
70- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
71 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig are now DEPRECATED.
72
73- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disappeared in his patch,
74 should be more discussed for RC6)
75- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
76- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
77 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ preprocessor definitions
78- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
79 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
80- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
81- Added the PciRoot auto detection feature imported from pcefi10.5
82- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
83 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
84- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
85 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
86- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
87- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
88 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
89 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
