1Slice:
2rev712
3- correct module system as Meklort did to be Symbols.dylib embedded.
4- return acpi_patcher to main sources to exclude obligatory module
5- correct modules.c procedure register_hook_callback.
6rev692
7- add ATI 5xxx Enabler module on Kabyl's sources (not checked)
8- corrections to open standards: EFI, UUID, SMBIOS, ACPI, EDID
9- getResolution from BIOS EDID now works
10- exclude Intel BIOS from patch, because it has other structure
11rev673
12- not agree with claim "Removed obsolete -f option, use -x instead"
13-f - ignore kernel cache (rebuild it)
14-x - boot with restricted set of drivers (without Graphics card etc.)
15- kernelcache location depends on OS vesion. It differs for 10.4, 10.5, 10.6
16- don't need to include headers twice, other cosmetics
17- don't need to call getSMBIOS ten times, just global pointer to patched one.
18- more correct detect system type Mobile or Desktop based on CPU MSR registers and DMI info.
19- write system-type into FACP if incorrect. Sometimes it happen.
20- create ACPI2.0 structure for old BIOSes having only ACPI1.0. It is only way to boot SamsungP29 notebook
21- 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
22- delete messages like "Loading HFS+ file [xxx]xxx...". No info for user but very slow.
23- correct UUID to be LittleEndian as used by ACPI.org, Microsoft, Apple
24- some corrections to detect CPU, ATI, NVidia
25- other current corrections by Mozo and Meklort
26-----------------------------------
27- Added Booter Log Dump Tool
28- Added Booter message Logging (":/boot-log" ioreg property)
29- Removed obsolete -f option, use -x instead
30- Removed -x32 option, use arch=i386 instead
31- Added automatic SMBusspeed detection for lga1156 core i5/7 cpus
32- Added new iMac11,1 sbios default model for lga1156 core i5/17 mobos
33- md0 code. Notified xnu when an md ramdisk is specified
34- Added rollover image support for selected device icons.
35 Use device_<type>_o.png in theme folder. Credits goes to Blackosx.
36- Revisited theme resource embedding. Using the device_<type> icons are optional with
37 the exception of device_generic.
38- Optimized memory detection speed
39- Added displaying source device and partition number for file read operations.
40- Increased boot2's maximum size from 383.5k to 447.5k.
41 Updated stage 1 loaders for handling the new size limit.
42- Added alternate format for setting the default partition. The user can specify the selected
43 volume UUID for the "Default Partition" key.
44- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
45- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
46- Optimized smbios table address search
47- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
48- Added ram table structures definitions
49- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
50- Changed "Default Partition" behaviour to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
51- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
52- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
53- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
54- Nvidia injection fix
55- pciroot would not always return correct uuid in autodection mode
56- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
57- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
58 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
59 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
60- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
61 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
62
63- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
64 only if ovveriden
65- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
66 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig aer now DEPRECATED.
67
68- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disapeared in his patch, should be more discussed for RC6)
69- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
70- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
71 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ prerocessor definitions
72- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
73 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
74- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
75- Added the PciRoot autodetection feature imported from pcefi10.5
76- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
77 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
78- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
79 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
80- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
81- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
82 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
83 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
