Before being merged with the commitdc6e1f32c1("Import website-build to build the GNU Boot website."), website-build was a separate git repository. And so, even after the merge, until the commit20d122e94a("website-build: use website from local git repository."), it still worked in the same way and still downloaded the website from git. This prevented merging the website and website-build directories together as the GNU Boot repository also needed to be a valid Untitled website repository as well. Now after this commit, the website is built from the same git tree, so we can simply adjust the build scripts to be able to move things around. In addition of making things more clear for contributors, it also simplify the migration to haunt as with haunt we typically have the haunt.cfg (and the autotools build code if needed) code in the top directory and the markdown files in a subdirectory.

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.

|
|
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
|
|
docs/security/t60\_security
|
|
- 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)
|

|
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: improved readability, fixed
|
|
html errors
|
|
- Documentation (macbook21 related): clean up
