Changes for this release (latest changes first, earliest changes last)
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- grub.cfg: Added (ahci1) to list of devices for ISOLINUX parser
|
|
(CD/DVD) (this is needed for the X200 docking station).
|
|
- grub.cfg: ISOLINUX parsing is now done on all USB partitions.
|
|
- grub.cfg: Automatically switched to /boot/grub/libreboot\_grub.cfg
|
|
on a partition, if it exists.
|
|
- libreboot\_bin: added static ARM binaries for flashrom, cbfstool,
|
|
ich9gen and ich9deblob (tested on beaglebone black).
|
|
- Flashrom: removed redundant Macronix flashchip definitions (for X200
|
|
owners).
|
|
- Flashrom: added whitelist for ThinkPad X200.
|
|
- X200: fixed uneven backlight (at low levels)
|
|
- ich9macchange (new script, uses ich9gen): for changing the default
|
|
MAC address on X200 ROM images.
|
|
- ich9gen: added capability to change the default MAC address (and
|
|
update the checksum)
|
|
- ich9deblob: added new utility ich9gen: this can generate a
|
|
descriptor+gbe image without a factory.rom dump present.
|
|
- Modified ich9deblob to use a struct for Gbe, documenting everything.
|
|
- Massively updated the ich9deblob utility: re-factored everything
|
|
completely.
|
|
- Enabled cstates 1 and 2 on macbook21. This reduces idle heat / power
|
|
consumption.

|
- i945: permanently set tft\_brightness to 0xff (fixes bug on X60
|
|
where turning up brightness at max would make it loop back to
|
|
low brightness)
|
|
- getcb: Revert X60/T60 to legacy backlight controls
|
|
- The ACPI brightness patches were abandoned and obsolete.
|
|

|
- New links added to docs/security/x60\_security and
|
|

|
|
- lenovobios\_secondflash: Warn if BUCTS is not present. (not a

|
|
precaution)
|
|
- Removed obnoxious warnings from flashing scripts, improved
|
|
documentation instead.
|
|
- scripts (all): add proper error checking (fail fast, fail early. Do

not continue if there are errors)
|

|
- Documentation: major cleanup (better structure, easier to find
|
|
things)
|
|
- docs/release.html: Remove Acer CB5 from list of future candidates.
|
|
- Too many issues. Chromebooks are crippled (soldered
|
|
RAM/storage/wifi) and have too many usability issues for the
|
|
libreboot project.
|
|
- docs/gnulinux/grub\_cbfs.html Major cleanup. Usability improvements.
|
|
- flash (flashrom script): remove boardmismatch=force
|
|
- This was put there before for users upgrading from libreboot r5
|
|
to r6, but also allows the user to flash the wrong image. For
|
|
example, the user could flash a T60 image on an X60, thus
|
|
bricking the system. It's almost certain that most people have
|
|
upgraded by now, so remove this potentially dangerous option.
|
|
- Documentation: update compatibility list for X60T LCD panels.
|
|
- docs/release.html: add note about X60 Tablet board in X60/X60s
|
|
- docs/howtos/grub\_boot\_installer.html: small corrections
|
|
- docs/howtos/grub\_boot\_installer.html: improved readability, fixed
|
|
html errors
|
|
- Documentation (macbook21 related): clean up
