1- Re-enabled Ignore Boot File Flag option , now "-B"
2- Fixed a bug in get_PM_Profile(), where the function return the profile 0 = 'Unspecified' when the facp is incorrect or not found, and so, override the
3 PM type set by the cpu features
4- Added new drop acpi table mechanism, now it's really able to drop any tables
5- BootHelp is not anymore embed by default in the bootloader core, if you need the help at boot time, just install your BootHelp.txt in /Extra/ (for now GUI module still embed it)
6- Fixed the HelloWorld module (broken since i have increased module hook arguments number)
7
8- "-F" now mean do not use prelinked kernel
9- Fixed embedtheme resolution, random theme chooser now also include embedtheme in the list (if the GUI is compiled with the embedtheme option),
10 also fixed a potential memory leak in randomTheme()
11- Fixed a bug in modules.c introduced in the previous versions, the booloader should now load correctly
12 with or without modules
13- Boot helper support (raid) is now an option (992 bytes saved)
14- Fixed an issue where the prelinked kernel can't be found (the bootloader should now be fully compatible with the kextcache command line tool).
15 (Also merged both adler32 function previously located in drivers.c and boot.c into one (local_adler32) located in boot.c)
16- returned to malloc by default, instead of safe_malloc, safe_malloc(+1280 bytes) is now an option (as in revolution 616+)
17- APM support is now optional (704 bytes saved)
18- Fixed add_symbol function
19- Increased module hook arguments number to 6
20- Added Kabyl's pci subsystem id patch
21- Added Kabyl's smbios implemention (SMBiosGetters, see Kabyl's branch.) as a module (legacy smbios implementation (SMBiosPatcher) have been also rewritten as a module)
22- Added valv's experimental amd support in CPUFreq module (untested)
23- Added Slice's smbios_patcher fix
24- Increased Booter Log size according to the chameleon trunck (thanck to Azimutz)
25
26- Added BSD support (Credits to: nawcom, valv)
27- moved hibernation and ramdisk into modules
28- Added a keyboard mapper module
29- Added CPUFreq module (Credits to: valv, cparm)
30- Added a random theme chooser in the GUI module
31- Added Slice's mobile detection fix
32- Added mozodojo's coreI fix in acpi patcher
33- Applied many fixes and optimizations to the core
34- Moved to meklort's core architecture
35- Added Andy Vandijck's Full ACPI tables override and ACPI V1 to V4 conversion patch
36-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
37
38- Added Booter Log Dump Tool
39- Added Booter message Logging (":/boot-log" ioreg property)
40- Removed obsolete -f option, use -x instead
41- Removed -x32 option, use arch=i386 instead
42- Added automatic SMBusspeed detection for lga1156 core i5/7 cpus
43- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
44- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
45- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.
46 Use device_<type>_o.png in theme folder. Credits goes to Blackosx.
47- Revisited theme resource embedding. Using the device_<type> icons are optional with
48 the exception of device_generic.
49- Optimized memory detection speed
50- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
51- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
52 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
53- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
54 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
55- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
56- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
57- Optimized smbios table address search
58- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
59- Added ram table structures definitions
60- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
61- Changed "Default Partition" behaviour to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
62- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
63- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
64- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
65- Nvidia injection fix
66- pciroot would not always return correct uuid in autodection mode
67- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
68- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
69 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
70 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
71- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
72 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
73
74- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
75 only if ovveriden
76- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
77 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig aer now DEPRECATED.
78
79- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disapeared in his patch, should be more discussed for RC6)
80- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
81- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
82 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ prerocessor definitions
83- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
84 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
85- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
86- Added the PciRoot autodetection feature imported from pcefi10.5
87- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
88 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
89- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
90 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
91- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
92- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
93 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
94 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
