Root/tags/2.0/CHANGES

Source at commit 1808 created 12 years 2 months ago.
By blackosx, Revise layout of package installer 'Welcome' file so it looks cleaner. Change the copyright notice to begin from 2009 as seen in the Chameleon 2.0 r431 installer. Should this date be set earlier?
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.

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.

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.

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*.
