-------------------------------
- updated GRUB (git 4b8b9135f1676924a8458da528d264bbc7bbb301, 20th
April 2014)
- Made "DeJavu Sans Mono" the default font in GRUB (fixes border
corruption).
- re-added background image in GRUB (meditating GNU)
- added 6 more images:
- coreboot\_ukqwerty.rom (UK Qwerty keyboard layout in GRUB)
- coreboot\_serial\_ukqwerty.rom (UK Qwerty keyboard layout in
GRUB)
- coreboot\_dvorak.rom (US Dvorak keyboard layout in GRUB)
- coreboot\_serial\_dvorak.rom (US Dvorak keyboard layout in GRUB)
- coreboot\_ukdvorak.rom (UK Dvorak keyboard layout in GRUB)
- coreboot\_serial\_ukdvorak.rom (UK Dvorak keyboard layout in
GRUB)
- (coreboot.rom and coreboot\_serial.rom have US Qwerty keyboard
layout in GRUB, as usual)
- improved the documentation:
- removed FLASH\_INSTRUCTION and README.powertop and merged them
with README
- removed obsolete info from README and tidied it up
- deleted README (replaced with docs/)
- tidied up the menu entries in GRUB
- tidied up the root directory of X60\_source/, sorted more files into
subdirectories
- improved the commenting inside the 'build' script (should make
modifying it easier)
- Renamed X60\_binary.tar.gz and X60\_source.tar.gz to
libreboot\_bin.tar.gz and libreboot\_src.tar.gz, respectively.
- Replaced "GNU GRUB version" with "FREE AS IN FREEDOM" on GNU
GRUB start screen.
- Added sha512.txt files in libreboot\_src and libreboot\_bin. (inside
the archives)
- Added libreboot\_bin.tar.gz.sha512.txt and
libreboot\_src.tar.gz.sha512.txt files (outside of the archives)
