+Revisions for r20150126 (relative to r20150124)
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+This is a bug fix release based on r20150124. It contains a few small
+changes:
+
+-   grub.cfg: hardcode the list of partitions to search (speeds up

+-   Documentation (bbb\_setup.html): Fix typos
+-   build-release: delete ich9fdgbe\_{4m,8m}.bin files from ich9gen
+    -   These were accidentically included in the r20150124 release.
+        They are generated from ich9gen so it's ok, but they don't
+        need to be in the archive.
+-   Documentation (grub\_cbfs.html): Looping in libreboot\_grub.cfg (Add
+    notes about it if the user copied from grub.cfg in CBFS.)
+
+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).

+    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)

+    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.
+-   buildrom-withgrub: disabled creation of \*txtmode\*.rom for X200
+    (only framebuffer graphics work)
+-   Updated SeaBIOS (again)

+        dependency or build from source anymore.
+-   deps-parabola (removed) Remove Parabola dependencies script. Will
+    re-add later (properly tested)
+-   grub.cfg: Add more path checks to isolinux parser (more ISOs should

+    -   The ACPI brightness patches were abandoned and obsolete.
+-   grub.cfg: Only load initrd.img if it exists. Add rw to linux line
+    (for ProteanOS)
+-   build: Only generate the GRUB configurations once (re-use on all
+    images)
+-   Only build 2 GRUB payload executables, re-use on all boards.
+-   resources/utilities/grub-assemble/gen.txtmode.sh: Use GNU BASH\
+    resources/utilities/grub-assemble/gen.vesafb.sh: Use GNU BASH
+-   scripts (error handling): Replace exit with exit 1 (make debugging
+    easier)
+-   Move most files in CBFS to GRUB memdisk, except grub.cfg and
+    grubtest.cfg
+-   docs/release.html Add DMP vortex86ex to list of candidates.
+-   docs/release.html Add ThinkPad X201 to list of candidates.
+-   New links added to docs/security/x60\_security and
+    docs/security/t60\_security
+-   lenovobios\_secondflash: Warn if BUCTS is not present. (not a
+    dealbreaker. Can just pull out nvram battery/coin).
+-   lenovobios\_firstflash: Fail if BUCTS fails. (anti-bricking
+    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.

+Changes for this release (latest changes first, earliest changes last)
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+-   Updated coreboot (git commit
+    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.
+-   Updated GRUB (git commit 9a67e1ac8e92cd0b7521c75a734fcaf2e58523ad),
+    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

+-   Documentation: removed all parts talking about build dependencies,
+    replaced them with links to \#build\_dependencies
+-   Documentation: emphasized more strongly on the documentation, the
+    need to re-build bucts and/or flashrom before flashing a ROM image.
+-   build-release: flashrom, nvramtool, cbfstool and bucts are no longer
+    provided pre-compiled in binary archives, and are now in source form
+    only. (to maximize distro compatibility).
+-   'build' script: replaced grub.elf assembly instructons, it is now
+    handled by a utility added under resources/utilities/grub-assemble
+-   Moved resources/grub/keymap to

+    extra/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg} and
+    menuentries/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg}
+    -   buildrom-withgrub script uses these to generate the correct
+        grub.cfg for each type of configuration.
+-   grub\_memdisk.cfg (used inside grub.elf) now only loads grub.cfg
+    from cbfs. It no longer enables serial output or sets prefix.
+    (menuentries/common.cfg does instead)
+-   resources/grub/config/extra/common.cfg, added:
+    -   insmod instructions to load those modules: nativedisk, ehci,
+        ohci, uhci, usb, usbserial\_pl2303, usbserial\_ftdi,
+        usbserial\_usbdebug
+    -   set prefix=(memdisk)/boot/grub
+    -   For native graphics (recommended by coreboot wiki):\
+        gfxpayload=keep\
+        terminal\_output \--append gfxterm
+    -   Play a beep on startup:\
+        play 480 440 1

+------------------------------------------------------
+
+-   Fixed typo where revision list for 5th beta was listed as March 11th
+    2014, when in fact it was August 11th 2014
+-   Fixed incorrect grub.cfg that was actually placed in
+    resources/grub/config/x60/grub\_usqwerty.cfg which broke the default
+    GRUB menu entry on X60
+
+Revisions for r20140811 (5th beta) (11th August 2014)
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+-   build: added 'luks', 'lvm', 'cmosdump' and 'cmostest' to the
+    list of modules for grub.elf
+-   Documentation: added pics showing T60 unbricking (still need to
+    write a tutorial)
+-   build: include cmos.layout
+    (coreboot/src/mainboard/manufacturer/model/cmos.layout) files in
+    libreboot\_bin

+    t60\_security.html
+-   Documentation: added info to \#macbook21 warning about issues with
+    macbook21
+-   Documentation: X60/T60: added information about checking custom ROMs
+    using dd to see whether or not the top 64K region is duplicated
+    below top or not. Advise caution about this in the tutorial that
+    deals with flashing on top of Lenovo BIOS, citing the correct dd
+    commands necessary if it is confirmed that the ROM has not been
+    applied with dd yet. (in the case that the user compiled their own
+    ROMs from libreboot, without using the build scripts, or if they
+    forgot to use dd, etc).
+-   Split resources/libreboot/patch/gitdiff into separate patch files
+    (getcb script updated to accomodate this change).
+-   Re-added .git files to bucts

+-   Reduced size of libreboot\_src.tar.gz:
+    -   Removed .git and .gitignore from grub directory
+        (libreboot\_src); not needed. Removing them reduces the size of
+        the archive (by a lot). GRUB development should be upstream.
+    -   Removed .git and .gitignore from bucts directory
+        (libreboot\_src); not needed. Removing them reduces the size of
+        the archive. bucts development should be upstream.

+        needed. Removing it reduces the size of the archive. flashrom
+        development should be upstream.

+    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.~~

+        above.
+-   Replaced background.png with background.jpg. added gnulove.jpg.
+    (resources/grub/background/)
+-   Updated buildrom-withgrub to use background.jpg instead of

+    -   Added builddeps-flashrom to libreboot\_bin.tar.gz
+-   flashrom: added patched flashchips.c to resources/flashrom/patch
+    (automatically use correct macronix chip on libreboot, without using
+    '-c' switch)
+    -   removed 'MX25L1605' and 'MX25L1605A/MX25L1606E' entries in

+    -   Added a 'builddeps-cbfstool' script (in src, but only used in
+        bin and put in bin by 'build') that compiles
+        cbfstool\_standalone in libreboot\_bin (make), moves the
+        cbfstool and rmodtool binaries into libreboot\_bin/ and then
+        does 'make clean' in libreboot\_bin/cbfstool\_standalone
+    -   Updated the 'build' script to put 'builddeps-cbfstool' in
+        libreboot\_bin

+        to accomodate the above.
+    -   Documentation: added notes about cbfstool (standalone) in
+        libreboot\_bin
+-   Documentation: made docs/gnulinux/grub\_cbfs.html slightly easier to
+    follow.

+-   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\_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

+    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)
+
+Revision notes (11th June 2014):
+--------------------------------
+
+-   removed 'CD' boot option from coreboot.rom (not needed)
+-   removed 'processor.max\_cstate=2' and 'idle=halt' options (see
+    README.powertop file)
+

+-------------------------------
+
+-   added backlight support (Fn+Home and Fn+End) on X60
+-   fixed broken/unstable 3D when using kernel 3.12 or higher
+-   (see 'BACKPORT' file)
+
+Revision notes (9th March 2015):
+--------------------------------
+
+-   recreated coreboot config from scratch
+-   GRUB loads even faster now (less than 2 seconds).
+-   Total boot time reduced by further \~5 seconds.
+-   Added crypto and cryptodisk modules to GRUB
+-   cbfstool now included in the binary archives
+
+Development notes
+-----------------
+
+-   Binary archive now have 2 images:
+    -   With serial output enabled and memtest86+ included (debug level
+        8 in coreboot)
+    -   With serial output disabled and memtest86+ excluded (faster boot
+        speeds) (debugging disabled)
+-   Reduced impact on battery life:
+    -   'processor.max\_cstate=2' instead of 'idle=halt' for booting
+        default kernel
+-   coreboot.rom (faster boot speeds, debugging disabled):
+    -   Disabled coreboot serial output (Console-> in "make
+        menuconfig")
+    -   Set coreboot debug level to 0 instead of 8 (Console-> in
+        "make menuconfig")
+    -   Changed GRUB timeout to 1 second instead of 2 (in grub.cfg
+    -   Removed background image in GRUB.
+    -   Removed memtest86+ payload (since it relies on serial output)
+-   coreboot\_serial.rom (slower boot speeds, debugging enabled):
+    -   Boot time still reduced, but only by \~2 seconds
+    -   has the memtest86+ payload included in the ROM
+    -   has serial port enabled. How this is achieved (from
+        X60\_source): Turn on debugging level to 8, and enable serial
+        output
+-   (in Console-> in coreboot "make menuconfig")
+-   (and build with grub\_serial.cfg and grub\_memdisk\_serial.cfg)

+Release 20140221 (4th release) {#release20140221}
+==============================
+
+-   21st February 2014
+
+Officially supported
+--------------------
+
+-   ThinkPad X60
+-   ThinkPad X60s
+
+Development notes
+-----------------
+
+-   Removed SeaBIOS (redundant)
+-   New GRUB version (2.02\~beta2)
+    -   Fixes some USB issues
+    -   Includes ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX parser
+-   New grub.cfg
+-   Removed useless options:
+    -   options for booting sda 2/3/4
+    -   seabios boot option
+-   Added new menu entries:
+    -   Parse ISOLINUX config (USB)
+    -   Parse ISOLINUX config (CD)
+    -   Added 'cat' module for use on GRUB command line.
+-   "set pager=1" is set in grub.cfg, for less-like functionality
+
+The "Parse" options read ./isolinux/isolinux.cfg on a CD or USB, and
+automatically converts it to a grub config and switches to the boot menu
+of that distro. This makes booting ISOs \*much\* easier than before.
