| - Allow specifying devices with internal bridges. |
| - Initial via epia support |
| - Opteron errata fixes |
| - 1.1.4 |
| Major restructuring of hypertransport handling. |
| Major rewerite of superio/NSC/pc87360 as a proof of concept for handling superio resources dynamically |
| Updates to hard_reset handling when resetting because of the need to change hypertransport link |
| speeds and widths. |
| (a) No longer assume the boot is good just because we get to a hard reset point. |
| (b) Set a flag to indicate that the BIOS triggered the reset so we don't decrement the |
| boot counter. |
| Updates to arima/hdama mptable so it tracks the new bus numbers |
| - 1.1.3 |
| Major update of the dyanmic device tree to so it can handle |
| * subtractive resources |
| * merging with the static device tree |
| * more device types than just pci |
| - 1.1.2 |
| Add back in the hard_reset method from freebios1 this allows generic |
| code to reset the box. |
| Update the hypertransport setup code to automatically optimize |
| hypertransport link widths and frequencies, and to call hard_reset |
| if necessary for the changes to go into effect. |
| - 1.1.1 |
| Updates to the new configuration system so it works more reliably |
| Removed a bunch of unused configuration variables |
| Removed a bunch of unused assembly code |
| - 1.1.0 |
| A whole bunch of random ppc and opteron work we never put a good label on |
| - 1.1.0 |
| Intial development release of LinuxBIOS. |
| Everything is thrown overboard and will be reincluded as necessary so we can |
| get rid of the legacy baggage. Since LinuxBIOS was started we have developed |
| some better techniques for some things, but we still hang on to the old ways |
| because some ports that we want not to break depend on them. So we preserve |
| them by preserve the 1.0.x series and keeping only the best practices for |
| the 1.1.x series. When there is a stable port this code base will |
| become LinuxBIOS 2.0.x and the core will become frozen. |
