1- Fixed HD4000 graphicsenabler code. Thanks to proteinshake for AAPL,ig-platform-id info.
2- Added AtiPorts option to GraphicsEnabler, so users can override the default number of ports. It proved
3 to be useful when used to limit the number of ports that a framebuffer registers, which seems to be a
4 requirement on laptops that can only use 2 ports at the same time.
5 Thanks to Akbar for testing and AniV also for the tip:
6 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1959.msg10402.html#msg10402
7- Added NVidia ION AHCI controllers dev id to AHCIPortInjector kext.
8 Forgot to mention source on the commit: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1170.0.html
9- Renamed com.apple.Boot.plist to org.chameleon.Boot.plist.

23- Added Booter message Logging (":/boot-log" ioreg property)
24- Removed -x32 option, use arch=i386 instead
25- Added automatic SMBusspeed detection for lga1156 core i5/7 cpus
26- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
27- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
28- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.

34- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
35 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
36- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
37 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
38- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
39- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
40- Optimized smbios table address search
41- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
42- Added ram table structures definitions
43- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
44- Changed "Default Partition" behavior to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
45- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
46- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6

49- pciroot would not always return correct UID in auto detection mode
50- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
51- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
52 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
53 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
54- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
55 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
56
57- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
58 only if overridden
59- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
60 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig are now DEPRECATED.
61
62- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disappeared in his patch,
63 should be more discussed for RC6)
64- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
65- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
66 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ preprocessor definitions
67- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
68 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
69- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
70- Added the PciRoot auto detection feature imported from pcefi10.5
71- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
72 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
73- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
74 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
75- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
76- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
77 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
78 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
