   2
   3        Version 2.1
   4
   5        * Fix a number of off by one errors when accessing arrays
   6
   7        * Add support for reading/writing strings from/to CMOS.

   9Mon Jan 23 16:00:00 PST 2006  David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
  10
  11        Version 2.0.1
  12
  13        * Postpone most sanity checking of CMOS layout information until right
  14          before a CMOS read or write operation is attempted.  This fixes a
  15          problem discovered by Stefan Reinauer in which lxbios was failing on
  16          Opteron due to the existence of a "user_data" parameter that is 256
  17          bits long.  In general, postponing the sanity checks will make
  18          lxbios more adaptable to changes in how LinuxBIOS stores CMOS
  19          parameters.
  20
  21        * Merge fix from Stefan Reinauer that makes hex dumps look a bit
  22          nicer.
  23
  24        * Merge fix from Stefan Reinauer that allows lxbios to access CMOS
  25          memory beyond the first 128 bytes.

  28
  29        Version 2.0.0
  30
  31        * Added the following options:
  32
  33              -Y
  34                  Write CMOS layout information to standard output.
  35
  36              -b OUTPUT_FILE
  37                  Write the contents of CMOS memory to a binary file.
  38
  39              -B INPUT_FILE
  40                  Read binary data from file and write it to CMOS memory.
  41
  42              -x
  43                  Show a hex dump of all CMOS data.
  44
  45              -X DUMPFILE
  46                  Read binary data from a CMOS dumpfile and show a hex dump of
  47                  the data.
  48
  49          Thanks to Stefan Reinauer for suggesting the ideas for the "-Y",
  50          "-b OUTPUT_FILE", and "-B INPUT_FILE" options.
  51
  52        * Added support for reading/writing CMOS parameters between 1 and 64
  53          bits in size that are not necessarily aligned on byte boundaries.
  54
  55        * Reworked much of the code, cleaning up some ugly parts.
  56
  57        * Made a number of minor improvements.
  58
  59Wed Nov 30 16:30:00 PST 2005  David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
  60
  61        Version 1.4.0
  62
  63        * Merge patch from Stefan Reinauer <stepan@openbios.org> that makes
  64          lxbios recognize the LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM entry placed in the
  65          coreboot table by newer versions of LinuxBIOS.
  66
  67        * Tweak formatting of code to facilitate merging future patches.
  68
  69        * Minor code cleanup.
  70
  71Fri Jun 25 18:30:00 PDT 2004  David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
  72
  73        Version 1.3.2.
  74
  75        * Changed default_is_printable_fn to avoid problems displaying hex
  76          dumps.
  77
  78Thu Jun 10 14:00:00 PDT 2004  David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
  79
  80        Version 1.3.1.
  81
  82        * Minor code cleanup.
  83
  84Fri Mar  7 18:00:00 PST 2003  David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
  85
  86        Version 1.3.0.
  87
  88        * Added -y option that tells lxbios to get CMOS layout information
  89          from a file instead of from the CMOS option table.
  90
  91        * Modified command syntax so that -r flag is required for reading a
  92          single CMOS parameter.
  93
  94        * Fixed bug where CMOS checksum was being displayed with bytes
  95          reversed.
  96
  97Thu Dec  5 14:30:00 PST 2002  David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
  98
  99        Version 1.2.3.
 100
 101        * Fixed bug where checksum was not being updated after changing CMOS
 102          parameter values.
 103
 104        * Added code to verify checksum when reading CMOS parameters.
 105
 106        * Modified program so that check_sum parameter is treated differently
 107          from other CMOS parameters.  Now, -c option must be used to
 108          read/write check_sum parameter.
 109
 110Thu Nov 14 15:15:00 PST 2002  David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
