Root/branches/ErmaC/Trunk/CHANGES

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