2014-08-22Libreboot release 6 beta 5.Francis Rowe
- 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) - build: include cmos.layout (coreboot/src/mainboard/manufacturer/model/cmos.layout) files in libreboot_bin - Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/x60tablet_unbrick.html - Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/t60_unbrick.html - Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/t60_lcd_15.html - Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/t60_security.html - Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/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 preventing/mitigating cold-boot attack in x60_security.html and t60_security.html - Documentation: added info to ../docs/index.html#macbook21 warning about issues with macbook21 - Documentation: X60/T60: added information about checking custom ROM's 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 ROM's 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 - Fixed the oversight where macbook21_firstflash wasn't included in binary archives

- Documentation: improved (more explanations, background info) in docs/howtos/x60_security.html (courtesy of Denis Carikli) - MacBook2,1 tested (confirmed) - macbook21: Added script 'macbook21_firstflash' for flashing libreboot while Apple EFI firmware is running. - Documentation: macbook21: added software-based flashing instructions for flashing libreboot while Apple EFI firmware is running. - Reduced size of libreboot_src.tar.gz: - Removed .git and .gitignore from grub directory (libreboot_src); not needed. Removing them reduces the size of the archive (by a lot). GRUB development should be upstream. - Removed .git and .gitignore from bucts directory (libreboot_src); not needed. Removing them reduces the size of the archive. bucts development should be upstream. - Removed .svn from flashrom directory (libreboot_src); not needed. Removing it reduces the size of the archive. flashrom development should be upstream. - Added ROM's with Qwerty (Italian) layout in GRUB (libreboot*itqwerty.rom) - Added resources/utilities/i945gpu/intel-regs.py for debugging issues related to LCD panel compatibility on X60 Tablet and T60.

- Fixed typo that existed in 2nd beta where the release date of the 2nd beta was listed as being in year 2016, when in actual fact it was 2014. - Documentation: added (preliminary) details about (rare) buggy CPU's on the ThinkPad T60 that were found to fail (instability, kernel panics, etc) without the microcode updates. - Documentation: added docs/howtos/x60_heatsink.html for showing how to change the heatsink on the Thinkpad X60 - Added ROM images for Azerty (French) keyboard layout in GRUB (courtesy of Olivier Mondoloni) - Tidied up some scripts: - Re-factored those scripts (made easier to read/maintain): 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. - Deleted build-x60, build-x60t, build-t60, build-macbook21 and replaced with intelligent (generic) buildrom-withgrub script - Updated build to use buildrom-withgrub script for building the ROM images. - coreboot.rom and coreboot_serial.rom renamed to coreboot_usqwerty.rom and coreboot_serial_usqwerty.rom - coreboot_dvorak and coreboot_serial_dvorak.rom renamed to coreboot_usdvorak.rom and coreboot_serial_usdvorak.rom - Renamed coreboot*rom to libreboot*rom - Made flash, lenovobios_firstflash and lenovobios_secondflash scripts fail if the specified file does not exist. - Updated all relevant parts of the documentation to reflect the above. - Replaced background.png with background.jpg. added gnulove.jpg. (resources/grub/background/) - Updated buildrom-withgrub to use background.jpg instead of background.png - Updated buildrom-withgrub to use gnulove.jpg aswell - Updated resources/grub/config/macbook21/grub*cfg to use gnulove.jpg background. - Updated resources/grub/config/{x60,t60,x60t}/grub*cfg to use background.jpg background. - Documentation: updated docs/index.html#grub_custom_keyboard to be more generally useful. - nvramtool: - Updated builddeps-coreboot script to build it - Updated build script to include it in libreboot_bin - Documentation: added docs/howtos/x60_security.html (security hardening for X60)

Deleted all git-related files from the coreboot directory. This was necessary because with those it is possible to run 'git diff' which shows the changes made in the form of a patch (diff format); this includes the blobs that were deleted during deblobbing.
