1- Added boot support for Mountain Lion 10.8 (credits to ErmaC) & updated the default theme (credits to blackosx)
2- cparm : Fixed naming convention for raid hfs devices in gui
3- Added support for using UUIDs with ext2 filesystems (credits to bitz): http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/issues/208/
4- Added Guerrero's patch on gui.c: http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/issues/178/
5- cparm : Ported the OS detection to the trunk, updated the default theme to v 1.1 (credit to blackosx)
6- Added scorpius's patch (to get an unstretched boot screen for nVidia cards on DVI) in boot0.s,
7 disabled by default: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,2158.0.html

9 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,2095.0.html
10- disableIRQs() http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=255866&view=findpost&p=1677779
11 Port of original patch by: CPARM (who basically did this in boot.c) Thanks!
12 The ACPI specification dictates that the 8259 (PC-AT compatible) vectors
13 must be disabled (that is, masked) when enabling the ACPI APIC operation
14 but this isn't done (apparently) on all mobo's and thus we do that here.
15- Added AtiPorts option to GraphicsEnabler, so users can override the default number of ports. It proved
16 to be useful when used to limit the number of ports that a framebuffer registers, which seems to be a
17 requirement on laptops that can only use 2 ports at the same time.
18 Thanks to Akbar for testing and AniV also for the tip:
19 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1959.msg10402.html#msg10402
20- Added NVidia ION AHCI controllers dev id to AHCIPortInjector kext.
21 Forgot to mention source on the commit: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1170.0.html
22- Renamed com.apple.Boot.plist to org.chameleon.Boot.plist.

47- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
48 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
49- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
50 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
51- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
52- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
53- Optimized smbios table address search
54- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
55- Added ram table structures definitions
56- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
57- Changed "Default Partition" behavior to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
58- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
59- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
60- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
61- Nvidia injection fix
62- pciroot would not always return correct UID in auto detection mode
63- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
64- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
65 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
66 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
67- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
68 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
69
70- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
71 only if overridden
72- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
73 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig are now DEPRECATED.
74
75- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disappeared in his patch,
76 should be more discussed for RC6)
77- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
78- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
79 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ preprocessor definitions
80- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
81 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
82- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
83- Added the PciRoot auto detection feature imported from pcefi10.5
84- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
85 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
86- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
87 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
88- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
89- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
90 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
91 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
