24 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,2095.0.html
25- disableIRQs() http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=255866&view=findpost&p=1677779
26 Port of original patch by: CPARM (who basically did this in boot.c) Thanks!
27 The ACPI specification dictates that the 8259 (PC-AT compatible) vectors
28 must be disabled (that is, masked) when enabling the ACPI APIC operation
29 but this isn't done (apparently) on all mobo's and thus we do that here.
30- Added AtiPorts option to GraphicsEnabler, so users can override the default number of ports. It proved
31 to be useful when used to limit the number of ports that a framebuffer registers, which seems to be a
32 requirement on laptops that can only use 2 ports at the same time.
33 Thanks to Akbar for testing and AniV also for the tip:
34 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1959.msg10402.html#msg10402
35- Added NVidia ION AHCI controllers dev id to AHCIPortInjector kext.
36 Forgot to mention source on the commit: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1170.0.html
37- Renamed com.apple.Boot.plist to org.chameleon.Boot.plist.
38- Added "ShowInfo" key (enabled by default for now), which enables/disables the display of
39 partition and resolution related info, on the Gui.
40 This info may not play well with some custom themes.
41- Modules can now be selected between not compiled, compiled into chameleon, or compiled as modules.
42- New makefile + configuration system.
43- Added the BOOT2_MAX_LENGTH constant in memory.h. This is now used in mboot.c to relocate the correct
44 number of bytes for boot2.
45- Added new ATi/AMD Graphics Card Enabler.
46- Added new SMBIOS patcher.
47Includes changes to "manufacter" keys, from SM*manufacter to SM*manufacturer.
48- Added module system.
49- Added automatic P-States & C-States generation for native power management.
50- Added Booter Log Dump Tool
51- Added Booter message Logging (":/boot-log" ioreg property)
52- Removed -x32 option, use arch=i386 instead
53- Added automatic SMBusspeed detection for lga1156 core i5/7 cpus
54- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
55- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
56- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.

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