+
+
+ Changes for this release (latest changes first, earliest changes last)
+
+
+ - Documentation: added information about how to boot Guix GNU/Linux.
+ - grub.cfg: Added (usb0) and (usb0,*) to the list of devices in the Search for GRUB menuentry (this is needed for Guix GNU/Linux)
+ - 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.
+ - buildrom-withgrub: disabled creation of *txtmode*.rom for X200 (only framebuffer graphics work)
+ - Updated SeaBIOS (again)
+ - docs/install/index.html#flashrom_x200: improve instructions
+ - Updated flashrom (again) - patches updated
+ - Updated GRUB (again)
+ - Updated coreboot (again)
+ - build-release: not all files were copied to libreboot_src. fix that.
+ - build-release: include cbmem (statically compiled) in libreboot_bin
+ - Documentation (X200): added software-based flashing instructions
+ - Documentation: remove all references to the bus pirate (replaced with BBB flashing tutorials)
+ - New board: ThinkPad X200S and X200 Tablet support added to libreboot
+ - build: automatically find board names (configs) to build for
+ - New board: ThinkPad X200 support added to libreboot
+ - coreboot-libre config (all boards): enable USB dongle log output (for BeagleBone Black)
+ - cleandeps: actually clean grubinvaders
+ - .gitignore: add powertop directory
+ - cleandeps: clean i945-pwm utility
+ - scripts (all): fix typos
+ - Documentation: general cleanup.
+ - builddeps-flashrom: reduce build commands to a single for loop
+ - scripts (all): replace unnecessary rm -rf with rm -f
+ - powertop.trisquel7: remove sudo (script already checks if the user is root)
+ - docs/release.html: add lenovo g505s to the list of candidates
+ - .gitignore: add libreboot_bin.tar.xz and libreboot_src.tar.xz
+ -
+ libreboot_bin.tar.xz: Include utils as statically linked binaries
+
+ - This means that the user does not have to install build dependency
+ or build from source anymore.
+
+
+ - deps-trisquel: Add binutils-source
+ - powertop.trisquel7 (new): Setup powertop on trisquel 7
+ - deps-trisquel,flash,lenovobios_firstflash,lenovobios_secondflash,macbook21_firstflash
+ x60flashfrom5,powertop.trisquel6: check if user is root
+ - deps-trisquel: Make GRUB build on in Trisquel 7 x86_64. (cross compile dependencies. fixes build error in GRUB)
+ - 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 work now)
+ - Update SeaBIOS
+ - x60flashfrom5 (new), for X60 users upgrading from 5th/early release
+ - Update flashrom
+ - Update GRUB
+ -
+ Updated coreboot-libre
+
+ - 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.
+
+
+ - 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
+
+ This reduces the space used in CBFS because coreboot compresses
+ its payloads with LZMA by default. grub.cfg is all that most users
+ will want to modify, which remains in CBFS.
+
+
+ - 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)
+ - buildrom-withgrub: rename image to boardname_layout_romtype.rom
+ - buildrom-withgrub: don't move cbfstool, execute directly
+ - resources/utilities/grub-assemble: add French Dvorak (BEPO) keyboard layout.
+ - Documentation: add docs/hardware/x60_keyboard.html (show how to replace keyboard on X60/X60T)
+ - 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.
+ - hocs/gnulinux/encrypted_trisquel.html: Fixed mistakes/typos. General 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 machine. 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
+
+

+ Updates (relative to r20150124)
+
+
+ This is a bug fix release based on r20150124 from two days ago. It contains a few small changes:
+
+
+ - grub.cfg: hardcode the list of partitions to search (speeds up booting considerably. GRUB regexp isn't very well optimized)
+ - Docs (x200.html hcl): Remove incorrect information
+ - 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.)
+ - Documentation: refer to Guix as GNU Guix System Distribution or GNU GSD per advice from the Guix project.
