Root/trunk/CHANGES

1- cparm : Ported the nvidia plist helper (less time to spend on the device id more time to code :-) )
2- cparm : Added a Sata module, known as YellowIconFixer in my branch, useful to fix yellow icon issue (can also fix an issue with the apple's dvd player application in moutain lion)
3 , for now not added in the pkg script !!!
4
5- cparm : Ported the OS detection to the trunk, updated the default theme to v 1.1 (credit to blackosx)
6
7- Added AtiPorts option to GraphicsEnabler, so users can override the default number of ports. It proved
8 to be useful when used to limit the number of ports that a framebuffer registers, which seems to be a
9 requirement on laptops that can only use 2 ports at the same time.
10 Thanks to Akbar for testing and AniV also for the tip:
11 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1959.msg10402.html#msg10402
12- Added NVidia ION AHCI controllers dev id to AHCIPortInjector kext.
13 Forgot to mention source on the commit: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1170.0.html
14- Renamed com.apple.Boot.plist to org.chameleon.Boot.plist.
15- Added "ShowInfo" key (enabled by default for now), which enables/disables the display of
16 partition and resolution related info, on the Gui.

18- Modules can now be selected between not compiled, compiled into chameleon, or compiled as modules.
19- New makefile + configuration system.
20- Added the BOOT2_MAX_LENGTH constant in memory.h. This is now used in mboot.c to relocate the correct
21 number of bytes for boot2.
22- Added new ATi/AMD Graphics Card Enabler.
23- Added new SMBIOS patcher.
24Includes changes to "manufacter" keys, from SM*manufacter to SM*manufacturer.
25- Added module system.
26- Added automatic P-States & C-States generation for native power management.
27- Added Booter Log Dump Tool
28- Added Booter message Logging (":/boot-log" ioreg property)
29- Removed -x32 option, use arch=i386 instead
30- Added automatic SMBusspeed detection for lga1156 core i5/7 cpus
31- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
32- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
33- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.
34 Use device_<type>_o.png in theme folder. Credits goes to Blackosx.
35- Revisited theme resource embedding. Using the device_<type> icons are optional with
36 the exception of device_generic.
37- Optimized memory detection speed
38- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
39- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
40 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
41- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
42 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
43- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
44- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
45- Optimized smbios table address search
46- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
47- Added ram table structures definitions
48- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
49- Changed "Default Partition" behavior to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
50- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
51- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
52- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
53- Nvidia injection fix
54- pciroot would not always return correct UID in auto detection mode
55- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
56- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
57 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
58 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
59- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
60 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
61
62- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
63 only if overridden
64- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
65 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig are now DEPRECATED.
66
67- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disappeared in his patch,
68 should be more discussed for RC6)
69- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
70- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
71 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ preprocessor definitions
72- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
73 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
74- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
75- Added the PciRoot auto detection feature imported from pcefi10.5
76- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
77 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
78- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
79 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
80- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
81- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
82 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
83 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
