80 with multiple machines w/o an identical model, combined with acpicodec and the option "LoadSignedAmlOnly", you can make sure that Chameleon will load the
81 good aml files for your machine (even if you have for example about 50 dsdt files named differently in your Acpi directory and each one for a different machine) )

102
103- Implemented a serial number randomizer in smbiospatcher
104(can be useful for icloud registration problems, especially when the serial number is already used by another machine,

115 see this vid ;-) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvSgwIE6D4o&feature=channel_video_title
116- Added a mechanism to boot the real Lion installer partition (with baseSystem.dmg as root device), you will just need to edit the kernelcache

132- Improved c-states support in AcpiCodec
133

241 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
242- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
243 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
244
245- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
246 only if ovveriden

261 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
262- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
263- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
