<h2>
Changes for this release (latest changes first, earliest changes last)
</h2>
<ul>
<li>Updated coreboot (git commit 8ffc085e1affaabbe3dca8ac6a89346b71dfc02e), the latest at the time of writing.</li>
<li>Updated SeaBIOS (git commit 67d1fbef0f630e1e823f137d1bae7fa5790bcf4e), the latest at the time of writing.</li>
<li>Updated Flashrom (svn revision 1850), the latest at the time of writing.</li>
<li>Updated GRUB (git commit 9a67e1ac8e92cd0b7521c75a734fcaf2e58523ad), the latest at the time of writing.</li>
<li>Cleaned up the documentation, removed unneeded files.</li>
<li>ec/lenovo/h8 (x60/x60s/x60t/t60): Enable wifi/bluetooth/wwan/touchpad/trackpoint by default.</li>
<li>Documentation: Updated list of T60 LCD's (Samsung LTN150XG 15" XGA listed as non-working).</li>
<li>builddeps-coreboot: Don't build libpayload (not needed. This was leftover by mistake, when trying out the TINT payload).</li>
<li>Replaced most diff files (patches) for coreboot with gerrit checkouts (cherry-pick).</li>
<li>Documentation: x60_security.html and t60_security.html: added links to info about the ethernet controller (Intel 82573).</li>
<li>Documentation: x60_security.html and t60_security.html: added notes about DMA and the docking station.</li>
<li>
Documentation: configuring_parabola.html: basic post-install steps for Parabola GNU/Linux
(helpful, since libreboot development is being moved to Parabola at the time of writing).
</li>
<li>builddeps-coreboot: use 'make crossgcc-i386' instead of 'make crossgcc'. Libreboot only targets x86 at the time of writing.</li>
<li>ROM images no longer include SeaBIOS. Instead, the user adds it afterwards. Documentation and scripts updated.</li>
<li>docs/images/encrypted_parabola.html: Notes about linux-libre-grsec</li>
<li>Documentation: encrypted_parabola.html: add tutorial for encrypted Parabola GNU/Linux installation.</li>
<li>Documentation: added more info about wifi chipsets</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="critical_tasks">
Critical tasks for future release
</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Fix remaining incompatible LCD panels in native graphics on T60.
See <a href="future/index.html#lcd_i945_incompatibility">future/index.html#lcd_i945_incompatibility</a>.
</li>
<li>i945: fix VRAM size (currently 8MB. should be 64MB). See <a href="future/index.html#i945_vram_size">future/index.html#i945_vram_size</a>.</li>
<li>
Look into those machines:
<ul>
<li>
ThinkPad X200 - uses the same chipset (gm45) as the Roda RK9 which doesn't have ME; it might be optional on the X200. See <a href="http://libreboot.org/x200/">libreboot.org/x200/</a>.
</li>
<li>
ThinkPad X201 - see <a href="http://libreboot.org/x201/">http://libreboot.org/x201/</a>.
</li>
<li>
ThinkPad R400 (needs to be ported to coreboot). Uses the same chipset as the X200.
</li>
<li>
F2A85-M and E350M1 (libreboot_*_headless.rom). Find cards that work without the VBIOS (load, but not execute).
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="important">
<h2 id="noncritical_tasks">
Other tasks (non-critical, but still important)
</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Look at vortex86ex boards. See <a href="http://libreboot.org/vortex86ex">http://libreboot.org/vortex86ex</a>.
</li>
<li>
PTE errors still exist with 6718 (which is merged). <a href="http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/6718/">http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/6718/</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="future/dumps/pte_x60_6718/dmesg">dmesg</a></li>
<li><a href="future/dumps/pte_x60_6718/kern.log">kern.log</a></li>
<li>This doesn't seem to cause any issues for general use.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Make libreboot buildable in Parabola: update deps-parabola for a default Parabola install (base repository only).
</li>
<li>get all useful info from http://www.coreboot.org/GRUB2 and https://wiki.parabolagnulinux.org/User:GNUtoo/laptop and make it into a tutorial</li>
<li>
Todo: test gnutoo's fallback patches: <a href="http://www.coreboot.org/Fallback_mechanism">http://www.coreboot.org/Fallback_mechanism</a>
(some parts use systemd. adapt for upstart, which is what trisquel uses)<br/>
see <a href="future/gnutoo_fallback_patch">this IRC log</a> (warning, not cleaned up)
</li>
<li>
Implement VBT for i945 laptops: <a href="future/index.html#i945_vbt">future/index.html#i945_vbt</a> and
<a href="future/index.html#intelvbttool_results">future/index.html#intelvbttool_results</a>).
</li>
<li>
Implement INT 10H support in i945 native graphics. (this will be a lot of work. SeaBIOS has code for some geode boards, to get a general idea).
</li>
<li>Adapt linux-libre deblob scripts for use with coreboot.</li>
<li>
T60: find (for rare buggy CPU's that are unstable without microcode updates)
if there is a workaround: see <a href="future/index.html#t60_cpu_microcode">future/index.html#t60_cpu_microcode</a>
</li>
<li>
T60 15" QXGA (2048x1536): fixed issue where GRUB wouldn't show any graphics.
<ul>
<li>It might be the same issue I ran into with Paul on the X60 (not enough memory being allocated) since the same code works on T60 SXGA+ and UXGA, where GRUB actually display graphics.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Documentation: added as many links as I could find, to datasheets and schematics for macbook21/x60/t60 (i945 chipset, EC info for x60/t60/macbook21)</li>
<li>Documentation: Add a "development guide" for how to maintain libreboot ('get' scripts, deblob scripts, associated files under ./resources and so on)</li>
</ul>
