Changements pour cette version, relatif à r20150518 (les changements les plus tôt en dernier, les changements récents en premier)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Libreboot 20160818

-    NOUVELLES CARTES MÈRES AJOUTÉES:
       -   ASUS Chromebook C201 (ordi portable ARM) (grâce à Paul Kocialkowski)
       -   Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L carte mère (bureau) (grâce à Damien Zammit)
       -   Intel D510MO carte mère (bureau) (grâce à Damien Zammit)
       -   ASUS KCMA-D8 carte mère (bureau) (grâce à Timothy Pearson)
       -   ASUS KFSN4-DRE carte mère (serveur) (grâce à Timothy Pearson)
       -   ASUS KGPE-D16 carte mère (serveur) (grâce à Timothy Pearson)

Pour les cartes précedemment supportées, de nombreuses corrections venant d'amont ont été fusionnées.

Autre changements (par rapport à la version libreboot 20150518):
(ceci est un résumé. Pour une liste plus détaillée des changements, veuillez vous référer au git log).

256Mo VRAM alloué sur la GM45 (X200, T400, T500, R400) au lieu de 32Mo.
C'est une amélioration par rapport au BIOS Lenovo et Libreboot 20150518, permettant le décodage vidéo à 1080p d'être plus fluide. (merci Arthur Heymans). Pour clarifier, la performance vidéo GM45 dans libreboot 20160818 est meilleure que le BIOS originel et la précédente version.

64Mo VRAM sur i945 (X60, T60, MacBook2,1) maintenant supporté dans coreboot-libre, et utilisé par défaut (dans les précédentes versions, il y avait 8Mo alloué). Merci à Arthur Heymans.

Une meilleure durée de vie de la batterie sur la GM45 (X200, T400, T500, R400) dû au niveau plus haut de cstates maitenant supportés.(merci Arthur Heymans). États de puissances C4 maintenant supportés.

Le mode texte de la GM45 (X200, T400, T500, R400) marche maitenant, permettant d'utiliser MemText86+ comfortablement. (grâce à Nick High de coreboot)

Les affichages LVDS à double canaux sur la GM45 (T400, T500) sont maintenant automatiquement détecté coreboot-libre. (merci Vladimir Serbinenko de coreboot)

Résolution partielle dans coreboot-libre par rapport à l'affichage du GRUB sur la GM45, résolution plus haute pour les écrans LCD pour les affichages LVDS à double canaux (T400, T500). (merci Arthur Heymans)

Améliorations massive de la configuration du GRUB, rendant plus facile le démarrage automatique
de nombreux systèmes d'exploitations chiffré, et généralement un menu plus utile pour démarrer (les remerciements grâce à Klemens Nanni du projet autoboot).
Libreboot utilise maintenant automatiquement le grub.cfg fourni par la distribution
GNU+Linux installée, si présente, passant sur cette configuration. Celà est fait à travers de multiples partitions où libreboot cherche activement pour un fichier de configuration
(notamment sur les volumes chiffrés et LVM). Celà devrait rendre Libreboot plus facile
à utiliser pour les utilisateurs non techniques, sans avoir à modifier la
configuration GRUB utilisée dans libreboot.

Les archives des utilitaires sont maitenant en mode source seulement . Vous aurez besoin de compiler les paquets
dedans (scripts de builds sont compris, et un script pour installer les dépendances du build). (les archives de fichiers binaires sont de nouveau prévues dans une nouvelle version où le nouveau système de build sera fusionné).

SeaGRUB est maintenant le payload par défaut des cartes x86. (SeaBIOS configuré pour immédiatement charger un payload GRUB depuis CBFS sans fournir une interface dans SeaBIOS. De cette façon, GRUB est encore utilisé mais maintenant les services du BIOS sont disponibles, vous obtenez donc le meilleur des deux mondes). Les remerciements reviennent à Timothy Pearson
de coreboot pour cette idée.

crossgcc est maintenant téléchargé et construit en tant que module séparé de coreboot-libre,
avec une révision universelle utilisée pour build toutes les cartes.

Les cartes mères spécifiques ont leur propre patchs et modification de coreboot, indépendantes des autres autres. Celà rend la maintenance plus facile.

Mise à jour de tous les utilitaires et modules (coreboot, GRUB, etc) vers des versions plus récentes,
avec de nombreuses correction de bogues et améliorations en amont.

Le problème de l'octect "siècle" de l'Horloge Temps Réél (RTC/HTR) est mainteant corrigé sur la GM45 dans coreboot-libre, donc la date devrait maitenant s'afficher
correctement lors de l'utilisation du dernier kernel linux, au lieu de voir 1970-01-01 au démarrage  (grâce à Alexander Couzens de coreboot)

Le système de build utilise maintenant plusieurs coeurs d'un CPU, accélérant le build pour certaine personnes.
La spécification manuelle du nombre de coeurs a utiliser est possible pour ceux qui utilise le système de build dans un environnement chrooté (les remerciements vont à
Timothy Pearson de coreboot).

Dans le système de build (répo git), https:// est maitenant utilisée lors du clonage de coreboot.
http:// est utilisé en tant qu'alternative pour GRUB si git:// échoue

Nouveau chargeur d'amorçage, depthcharge (libre et maintenu par Google)
prêt à l'utilisation sur l'ASUS Chromebook C201. (les remerciements vont à Paul Kocialkowski)


Nombreuses corrections à l'utilitaire ich9gen (p.e maintenant la densité du composant flash est correctement mise dans la description, les descriptions gbe-less sont maintenant supportées.)

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
    booting considerably. GRUB regexp isn't very well optimized)
-   Docs (x200.html hcl): Remove incorrect information
-   Documentation (bbb\_setup.md): 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.md): 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).

    owners).
-   Flashrom: added whitelist for ThinkPad X200.

    MAC address on X200 ROM images.
-   ich9gen: added capability to change the default MAC address (and
    update the checksum)

    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.

    -   This means that the user does not have to install build
        dependency or build from source anymore.

    re-add later (properly tested)
-   grub.cfg: Add more path checks to isolinux parser (more ISOs should

-   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.

-   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.

    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: small corrections
-   docs/howtos/grub\_boot\_installer.html: improved readability, fixed
    html errors
-   Documentation (macbook21 related): clean up

    -   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
-   Documentation: updated gnulinux/grub\_cbfs.html to make it safer
    (and easier) to follow.

Corrections to r20140811 (5th beta) (11th August 2014)
------------------------------------------------------

-   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)

-   Documentation: added **install/t60\_lcd\_15.html**
-   Documentation: added **install/t60\_security.html**
-   Documentation: added **install/t60\_heatsink.html**
-   Documentation: Renamed RELEASE.html to release.html
-   Documentation: removed pcmcia reference in x60\_security.html (it's
    cardbus)
-   Documentation: added preliminary information about randomized seal
    (for physical intrusion detection) in x60\_security.html and
    t60\_security.html
-   Documentation: added preliminary information about

    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

        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.~~

        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

    -   it's FRU P/N 41W1478 (on T60 14.1") so this was added to the
        docs.
    -   it's P/N 42T0078 FRU 42T0079 or P/N 41W1338 (on T60 15.1") so
        this was added to the docs.
-   Documentation: added information about names of LCD panels for T60
    to the relevant parts of the documentation.

    -   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.
