Chameleon Svn Source Tree

Root/branches/ErmaC/Enoch/CHANGES

1- Bungo : Added Logging start time.
2- Bungo : Added getRTCdatetime() Int 1Ah function 02h - RTC service.
3- Zenith432 : Use caching with ExFat filesystem.
4- Zenith432 : Add turning off USB legacy for XHCI (XHCILegacyOff).
5- Zenith432 : saio_types.h, biosfn.c - minor typo in bios-defined data structure that isn't actually used.
6fake_efi.c - eliminate redundant scan of bt(0,0) in setupSmbiosConfigFile. loadConfigFile already does a fall-back scan of bt(0,0), so another scan isn't needed.
7sys.c - While scanning a volume, getOSVersion looks for 5 files and switches back-n-forth between hd(X,Y)/....SystemVersion.plist on the newly scanned volume and bt(0,0)/hd(X,Y)/...SystemVersion.plist - which is an invalid path - should always return an error.
8- Zenith432 : Change to disk.c - Prevent getOSVersion from looking for SystemVersion.plist on FAT32 or exFAT file systems - since those filesystems never serve as system volumes.
9UFS may serve as system volume, but there's no driver to read from it.
10Change to sys.c - Eliminate a dubious recursion in diskScanBootVolumes(). It recognises the filesystem, then calls getOSVersion, which attempts to open 5 files in order to find SystemVersion - then when parsing the device name - calls diskScanBootVolumes() - as a form of on-demand scanning. This doesn't result in an infinite recursion - because the volume is already in the map. However, this auto-scan is only useful if user enters an explicit hd(X,Y) device-spec that has never been scanned before - an unlikely occurrence.
11- Zenith432 : Patch from Issue 388, init_module_system() in modules.c dereferences NULL pointer
12- Zenith432 : Full implementation of exfat support for Chameleon's boot2 stage.
13- Micky1979 : Incorporated force umount option -u (boot1-install.c)
14- Zenith432 : Replace boot0 with boot0xg. Now boot0xg has all features of previous boot0. ( http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/302938-exfat-volume-boot-record-for-chameleon )

167 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,2297.0.html
168- Added scorpius's patch (to get an unstretched boot screen for nVidia cards on DVI) in boot0.s,
169 disabled by default: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,2158.0.html
170- Added exFAT volume label support (FAT64) support (credit to dmazar):
171 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,2095.0.html
172- disableIRQs() http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=255866&view=findpost&p=1677779
173 Port of original patch by: CPARM (who basically did this in boot.c) Thanks!
174 The ACPI specification dictates that the 8259 (PC-AT compatible) vectors
175 must be disabled (that is, masked) when enabling the ACPI APIC operation
176 but this isn't done (apparently) on all mobo's and thus we do that here.
177- Added AtiPorts option to GraphicsEnabler, so users can override the default number of ports. It proved
178 to be useful when used to limit the number of ports that a framebuffer registers, which seems to be a
179 requirement on laptops that can only use 2 ports at the same time.
180 Thanks to Akbar for testing and AniV also for the tip:
181 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1959.msg10402.html#msg10402
182- Added NVidia ION AHCI controllers dev id to AHCIPortInjector kext.

184- Renamed com.apple.Boot.plist to org.chameleon.Boot.plist.
185- Added "ShowInfo" key (enabled by default for now), which enables/disables the display of
186 partition and resolution related info, on the Gui.
187 This info may not play well with some custom themes.
188- Modules can now be selected between not compiled, compiled into chameleon, or compiled as modules.
189- New makefile + configuration system.
190- Added the BOOT2_MAX_LENGTH constant in memory.h. This is now used in mboot.c to relocate the correct
191 number of bytes for boot2.
192- Added new ATi/AMD Graphics Card Enabler.
193- Added new SMBIOS patcher.
194Includes changes to "manufacter" keys, from SM*manufacter to SM*manufacturer.
195- Added module system.
196- Added automatic P-States & C-States generation for native power management.

199- Removed -x32 option, use arch=i386 instead
200- Added automatic SMBusspeed detection for lga1156 core i5/7 cpus
201- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
202- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
203- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.
204 Use device_<type>_o.png in theme folder. Credits goes to Blackosx.

206 the exception of device_generic.
207- Optimized memory detection speed
208- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
209- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
210 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
211- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
212 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
213- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
214- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
215- Optimized smbios table address search
216- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
217- Added ram table structures definitions
218- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
219- Changed "Default Partition" behavior to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
220- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
221- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
222- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
223- Nvidia injection fix
224- pciroot would not always return correct UID in auto detection mode
225- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
226- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
227 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
228 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
229- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
230 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
231
232- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
233 only if overridden
234- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
235 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig are now DEPRECATED.
236
237- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disappeared in his patch,
238 should be more discussed for RC6)
239- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
240- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
241 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ preprocessor definitions
242- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
243 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
244- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
245- Added the PciRoot auto detection feature imported from pcefi10.5
246- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
247 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
248- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
249 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
250- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
251- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
252 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
253 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
