1- Optimized memory detection speed
2- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
3- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
4 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
5- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
6 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
7- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
8- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
9- Optimized smbios table address search
10- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
11- Added ram table structures definitions
12- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
13- Changed "Default Partition" behaviour to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
14- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
15- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
16- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
17- Nvidia injection fix
18- pciroot would not always return correct uuid in autodection mode
19- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
20- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
21 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
22 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
23- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
24 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
25
26- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
27 only if ovveriden
28- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
29 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig aer now DEPRECATED.
30
31- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disapeared in his patch, should be more discussed for RC6)
32- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
33- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
34 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ prerocessor definitions
35- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
36 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
37- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
38- Added the PciRoot autodetection feature imported from pcefi10.5
39- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
40 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
41- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
42 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
43- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
44- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
45 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
46 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
