Chameleon Svn Source Tree

Root/trunk/CHANGES

1- Bungo : Added ability to auto-select last booted partition as the boot volume.
2- Bungo : Added MacOSVerCurrent and MacOSVer2Int function to use instead of macros.
3- Bungo : Fixed bug in gDarwinBuildVerStr extracting.
4- Bungo : Fixed fixedUUID function (convert.c smbios.c).
5- Bungo : Added Logging start time.
6- Bungo : Added getRTCdatetime() Int 1Ah function 02h - RTC service.
7- Zenith432 : Use caching with ExFat filesystem.
8- Zenith432 : Add turning off USB legacy for XHCI (XHCILegacyOff).
9- ErmaC : C6 & C7 States credits to Clover Team.
10- ErmaC : define recursive cpu series for BrandString.
11- Zenith432 : saio_types.h, biosfn.c - minor typo in bios-defined data structure that isn't actually used.
12fake_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.
13sys.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.
14- 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.
15UFS may serve as system volume, but there's no driver to read from it.
16Change 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.
17- Zenith432 : Patch from Issue 388, init_module_system() in modules.c dereferences NULL pointer
18- Zenith432 : Full implementation of exfat support for Chameleon's boot2 stage.
19- Micky1979 : Incorporated force umount option -u (boot1-install.c)

126- meklort : FileNVRAM module import
127- cparm : Added a workaroud for Xcode 4.4.x compatibility 504B030414030100630004731141000000007D0000008B00000003000B0062696E01990700020041450308001AED80DA50DF6080B0390FE095B3BC129E1FC27C104EC97897EF27CD1175766CB18C66FF42EFB7023911BDFD5E4BC9AEEC32FF3473963F70B255581D7B74DE9F
128- cparm : Fixed a buffer overflow in the plist loader
129- cparm : Ported the nvidia plist helper (less time to spend on the device id more time to code :-) )
130- 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)

134
135- Added AtiPorts option to GraphicsEnabler, so users can override the default number of ports. It proved
136 to be useful when used to limit the number of ports that a framebuffer registers, which seems to be a
137 requirement on laptops that can only use 2 ports at the same time.
138 Thanks to Akbar for testing and AniV also for the tip:
139 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1959.msg10402.html#msg10402
140- Added NVidia ION AHCI controllers dev id to AHCIPortInjector kext.
141 Forgot to mention source on the commit: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1170.0.html
142- Renamed com.apple.Boot.plist to org.chameleon.Boot.plist.
143- Added "ShowInfo" key (enabled by default for now), which enables/disables the display of
144 partition and resolution related info, on the Gui.
145 This info may not play well with some custom themes.
146- Modules can now be selected between not compiled, compiled into chameleon, or compiled as modules.
147- New makefile + configuration system.
148- Added the BOOT2_MAX_LENGTH constant in memory.h. This is now used in mboot.c to relocate the correct
149 number of bytes for boot2.
150- Added new ATi/AMD Graphics Card Enabler.
151- Added new SMBIOS patcher.
152Includes changes to "manufacter" keys, from SM*manufacter to SM*manufacturer.
153- Added module system.
154- Added automatic P-States & C-States generation for native power management.
155- Added Booter Log Dump Tool
156- Added Booter message Logging (":/boot-log" ioreg property)
157- Removed -x32 option, use arch=i386 instead
158- Added automatic SMBusspeed detection for lga1156 core i5/7 cpus
159- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
160- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
161- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.
162 Use device_<type>_o.png in theme folder. Credits goes to Blackosx.
163- Revisited theme resource embedding. Using the device_<type> icons are optional with
164 the exception of device_generic.
165- Optimized memory detection speed
166- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
167- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
168 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
169- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
170 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
171- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
172- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
173- Optimized smbios table address search
174- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
175- Added ram table structures definitions
176- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
177- Changed "Default Partition" behavior to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
178- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
179- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
180- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
181- Nvidia injection fix
182- pciroot would not always return correct UID in auto detection mode
183- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
184- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
185 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
186 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
187- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
188 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
189
190- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
191 only if overridden
192- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
193 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig are now DEPRECATED.
194
195- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disappeared in his patch,
196 should be more discussed for RC6)
197- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
198- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
199 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ preprocessor definitions
200- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
201 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
202- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
203- Added the PciRoot auto detection feature imported from pcefi10.5
204- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
205 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
206- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
207 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
208- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
209- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
210 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
211 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
