1Slice:
2rev692
3- add ATI 5xxx Enabler module on Kabyl's sources (not checked)
4- corrections to open standards: EFI, UUID, SMBIOS, ACPI, EDID
5- getResolution from BIOS EDID now works
6- exclude Intel BIOS from patch, because it has other structure
7rev673
8- not agree with claim "Removed obsolete -f option, use -x instead"
9-f - ignore kernel cache (rebuild it)
10-x - boot with restricted set of drivers (without Graphics card etc.)
11- kernelcache location depends on OS vesion. It differs for 10.4, 10.5, 10.6
12- don't need to include headers twice, other cosmetics
13- don't need to call getSMBIOS ten times, just global pointer to patched one.
14- more correct detect system type Mobile or Desktop based on CPU MSR registers and DMI info.
15- write system-type into FACP if incorrect. Sometimes it happen.
16- create ACPI2.0 structure for old BIOSes having only ACPI1.0. It is only way to boot SamsungP29 notebook
17- place patched DSDT at the ACPI1.0 pointer. It is only way to patch DSDT for SamsungP29 notebook. Nontheless acpi_patcher works for any system
18- delete messages like "Loading HFS+ file [xxx]xxx...". No info for user but very slow.
19- correct UUID to be LittleEndian as used by ACPI.org, Microsoft, Apple
20- some corrections to detect CPU, ATI, NVidia
21- other current corrections by Mozo and Meklort
22-----------------------------------
23- Added Booter Log Dump Tool
24- Added Booter message Logging (":/boot-log" ioreg property)
25- Removed obsolete -f option, use -x instead
26- Removed -x32 option, use arch=i386 instead
27- Added automatic SMBusspeed detection for lga1156 core i5/7 cpus
28- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
29- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
30- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.
31 Use device_<type>_o.png in theme folder. Credits goes to Blackosx.
32- Revisited theme resource embedding. Using the device_<type> icons are optional with
33 the exception of device_generic.
34- Optimized memory detection speed
35- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
36- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
37 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
38- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
39 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
40- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
41- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
42- Optimized smbios table address search
43- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
44- Added ram table structures definitions
45- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
46- Changed "Default Partition" behaviour to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
47- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
48- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
49- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
50- Nvidia injection fix
51- pciroot would not always return correct uuid in autodection mode
52- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
53- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
54 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
55 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
56- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
57 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
58
59- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
60 only if ovveriden
61- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
62 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig aer now DEPRECATED.
63
64- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disapeared in his patch, 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_ prerocessor 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 autodetection 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*.
