Chameleon Svn Source Tree

Root/trunk/CHANGES

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

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