Changes for this release (latest changes first, earliest changes last)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

8ffc085e1affaabbe3dca8ac6a89346b71dfc02e), the latest at the time of
writing.
- Updated SeaBIOS (git commit
67d1fbef0f630e1e823f137d1bae7fa5790bcf4e), the latest at the time of
writing.
- Updated Flashrom (svn revision 1850), the latest at the time of
writing.

the latest at the time of writing.
- Cleaned up the documentation, removed unneeded files.
- ec/lenovo/h8 (x60/x60s/x60t/t60): Enable
wifi/bluetooth/wwan/touchpad/trackpoint by default.
- Documentation: Updated list of T60 LCDs (Samsung LTN150XG 15" XGA
listed as non-working).
- builddeps-coreboot: Don't build libpayload (not needed. This was
leftover by mistake, when trying out the TINT payload).
- Replaced most diff files (patches) for coreboot with gerrit
checkouts (cherry-pick).
- Documentation: x60\_security.html and t60\_security.html: added
links to info about the ethernet controller (Intel 82573).
- Documentation: x60\_security.html and t60\_security.html: added
notes about DMA and the docking station.
- Documentation: configuring\_parabola.html: basic post-install steps
for Parabola GNU+Linux (helpful, since libreboot development is
being moved to Parabola at the time of writing).
- builddeps-coreboot: use 'make crossgcc-i386' instead of 'make
crossgcc'. Libreboot only targets x86 at the time of writing.
- ROM images no longer include SeaBIOS. Instead, the user adds it
afterwards. Documentation and scripts updated.
- docs/images/encrypted\_parabola.html: Notes about linux-libre-grsec
- Documentation: encrypted\_parabola.html: add tutorial for encrypted
Parabola GNU+Linux installation.
