Revisions for r20140720 (3rd beta) (20th July 2014)

  • Fixed typo that existed in 2nd beta where the release date of the 2nd beta was listed as being in year 2016, when in actual fact it was 2014.
  • Documentation: added (preliminary) details about (rare) buggy CPUs on the ThinkPad T60 that were found to fail (instability, kernel panics, etc) without the microcode updates.
  • Documentation: added docs/hardware/x60_heatsink.html for showing how to change the heatsink on the Thinkpad X60
  • Added ROM images for Azerty (French) keyboard layout in GRUB (courtesy of Olivier Mondoloni)
  • Tidied up some scripts:
    • Re-factored those scripts (made easier to read/maintain): build-x60, build-x60t, build-t60, build-macbook21
    • Reduced the number of grub configs to 2 (or 1, for macbook21), the build scripts now generate the other configs at build time.
    • Deleted build-x60, build-x60t, build-t60, build-macbook21 and replaced with intelligent (generic) buildrom-withgrub script

    • Made flash, lenovobios_firstflash and lenovobios_secondflash scripts fail if the specified file does not exist.
    • Updated all relevant parts of the documentation to reflect the above.
  • Replaced background.png with background.jpg. added gnulove.jpg. (resources/grub/background/)
  • Updated buildrom-withgrub to use background.jpg instead of background.png
