1- cparm : Ported the OS detection to the trunk, updated the default theme to v 1.1 (credit to blackosx)
2
3- Added AtiPorts option to GraphicsEnabler, so users can override the default number of ports. It proved
4 to be useful when used to limit the number of ports that a framebuffer registers, which seems to be a
5 requirement on laptops that can only use 2 ports at the same time.
6 Thanks to Akbar for testing and AniV also for the tip:
7 http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1959.msg10402.html#msg10402
8- Added NVidia ION AHCI controllers dev id to AHCIPortInjector kext.
9 Forgot to mention source on the commit: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1170.0.html
10- Renamed com.apple.Boot.plist to org.chameleon.Boot.plist.
11- Added "ShowInfo" key (enabled by default for now), which enables/disables the display of

14- Modules can now be selected between not compiled, compiled into chameleon, or compiled as modules.
15- New makefile + configuration system.
16- Added the BOOT2_MAX_LENGTH constant in memory.h. This is now used in mboot.c to relocate the correct
17 number of bytes for boot2.
18- Added new ATi/AMD Graphics Card Enabler.
19- Added new SMBIOS patcher.
20Includes changes to "manufacter" keys, from SM*manufacter to SM*manufacturer.

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

32 the exception of device_generic.
33- Optimized memory detection speed
34- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
35- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
36 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
37- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
38 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
39- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
40- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
41- Optimized smbios table address search
42- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
43- Added ram table structures definitions
44- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
45- Changed "Default Partition" behavior to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
46- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
47- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
48- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
49- Nvidia injection fix
50- pciroot would not always return correct UID in auto detection mode
51- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
52- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
53 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
54 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
55- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
56 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
57
58- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
59 only if overridden
60- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
61 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig are now DEPRECATED.
62
63- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disappeared in his patch,
64 should be more discussed for RC6)
65- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
66- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
67 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ preprocessor definitions
68- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
69 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
70- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
71- Added the PciRoot auto detection feature imported from pcefi10.5
72- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
73 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
74- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
75 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
76- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
77- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
78 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
79 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
