coreboot 4.8 & 4.8.1 release notes
|
|||
|
|
==================================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The 4.8.1 release contains 2 commits: 5f0b80b880 and 6794ce02d4. This
|
|||
|
|
minor release fixes an issue with adding payloads. The 4.8 release
|
|||
|
|
covers commit 6dd2f69878 to commit ebdeb4d07d
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Since the last release, the coreboot project had 1198 commits by 124
|
|||
|
|
authors.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There are PGP signed 4.8 and 4.8.1 tags in the git repository. A branch
|
|||
|
|
for 4.8 releases (4.8_branch) has been created.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A big thank you to everyone involved in making this release happen. We
|
|||
|
|
couldn't have done this without the 35 new commit authors, the
|
|||
|
|
experienced developers, the many reviewers, documentation writers and
|
|||
|
|
the fantastic community supporting users on both the mailing list and
|
|||
|
|
the IRC channel.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In general, this has been a calm release cycle. Several old devices were
|
|||
|
|
removed from the master branch early in the release, as they hinder
|
|||
|
|
development and nobody stepped up doing the porting effort or was
|
|||
|
|
willing to test coreboot on them. If there is the desire to get a board
|
|||
|
|
back, it isn't lost as it’s still in the git history.

Intel i945 platform
|
|||
|
|
-------------------
|
|||
|
|
* On Intel 945 devices, native graphics initialization is now skipped
|
|||
|
|
saving around 100 ms during resume from S3. The OS drivers need to be
|
|||
|
|
able to handle that. Linux’ i915 driver is able to handle it, but not
|
|||
|
|
the frame buffer driver.
