1 * Thu Aug 26 2004 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
2 - v0.5.0-test4 released as v0.5.0 with no code changes
4 * Wed Jun 07 2004 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
5 - Fixed bug where read_boot_order() would wrongly return EFI_NOT_FOUND
6 when it needed to create a new BootOrder variable. Reported by Micah Parrish.
7 - Added code to recursively walk the PCI bus putting parent PCI bridges
8 in. This is necessary for Dell PowerEdge 3250 and 7250 servers and
9 Intel Tiger2 and Tiger4 platforms when creating PXE boot entries for
10 the onboard NICs, and if creating EDD30 boot path entries. Work by Matt
12 - Note, efibootmgr now requires libpci for building.
13 - Released v0.5.0-test4
15 * Sat Apr 24 2004 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
16 - Fixed reversed logic of create_or_edit_variable which prevented object
17 creation or editing on sysfs.

19 - Released v0.5.0-test3
21 * Thu Feb 04 2004 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
22 - removed -t short option for --test
23 - added -t <timeout> and -T delete timeout options
24 - updated man page and README about the timeout options
25 - Released v0.5.0-test2
27 * Tue Sep 09 2003 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
28 - Released v0.5.0-test1
30 * Thu Sep 04 2003 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>

36 - released v0.4.2-test2 as v0.4.2 without additional changes.
38 * Mon Aug 11 2003 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
39 - fixed unaligned access errors
40 - removed extraneous printing of mac addr when creating netboot entries
41 - sync docbook to README
44 * Thu Jul 31 2003 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
45 - Applied patch from Dann Frazier to enable creating netboot entries.
46 - update AUTHORS with Dann's netboot contribution.
47 - Until we can get the ACPI HID and UID programatically, make the user
48 pass them in when creating a netboot entry.
49 - Add O_DIRECT support for reading the disk.
50 - Fix unparse_hardware_path() for the PCI case - the device and function
51 values were printed in reverse order.
52 - Fix the README file to reflect all the options that can be passed, and
53 add a new item for netboot entries.
56 * Fri Oct 25 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
57 - trivial patch from Fabien Lebaillif - Delamare <fabien@quadric.com>
58 increases the length of the boot option description from 40 to 64 bytes.
60 * Tue Oct 22 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
61 - ran docbook2man on the man page Dann Frazier created
62 - Added man page to spec file
63 - Added patches from Dann Frazier
64 - Removes the requirement to be root to run efibootmgr. This lets
65 mortal users run efibootmgr to check the version, and see the
66 --help output. It should also allow efibootmgr to work under
67 security systems without the strict root/non-root dichotomy.
68 - Checks to see if a boot option was specified when a boot option
69 deletion was requested.
70 - Released version 0.4.1
72 * Sun Jul 21 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
73 - Added kernel_has_blkgetsize64() test, now uses BLKGETSIZE64 if on a
74 known-good kernel. This is important when the Large Block Device (64-bit
75 block address) patch gets merged into the 2.5 kernel.
77 * Wed May 1 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
78 - Released version 0.4.0
80 * Tue Apr 30 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
81 - Added some printfs to compare_gpts().
83 * Mon Apr 08 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
84 - Make sure partition number arg is in the GPT disk.
85 - Added a few more _FILE_OFFSET_BITS defines where needed
87 * Fri Apr 05 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
88 - Added syncs to make tarball target so NFS is current and CVS dirs get
89 deleted before the tarball is made.
90 - Added a few __leXX_to_cpu() calls in code currently commented out in gpt.c
92 * Tue Apr 02 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
93 - finished conversion to GPT code
95 * Sat Mar 30 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
96 - began conversion to GPT code in post-2.4.18 and post-2.5.7 kernels.
97 - added manpage contributed by dannf@fc.hp.com
99 * Mon Feb 11 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
100 - BLKGETSIZE64 is fixed in 2.4.18-pre8 and 2.5.4-pre3. Wait a bit longer
102 - added list_for_each_safe() routine. It's needed in the boot
103 var deletion routine, though it was already breaking out once found.
104 - changed struct list_head to list_t
105 - released v0.4.0-test4
107 * Fri Jan 18 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
108 - commented out BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl use for now. Kernels 2.4.15-2.4.18 and
109 2.5.0-2.5.3 don't return the right value.
111 * Thu Jan 3 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
112 - added back in read last sector IOCTL hack, but only after read() fails.
113 - released v0.4.0-test4
115 * Thu Jan 3 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
117 - released v0.4.0-test3
119 * Wed Jan 2 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
120 - Changed PROC_DIR_EFI to PROC_DIR_EFI_VARS
121 - write_variable() now searches /proc/efi/vars for a variable that's not
122 the one being written. The EFI 1.1 sample implementation changed the
123 name of the "victim" being written to (was Efi-xxxxx, now EFI-xxxxx), so
124 previous versions of efibootmgr don't work with the new firmware. This
126 - released v0.4.0-test2
128 * Fri Dec 7 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
129 - Removed read last sector ioctl hack, it's not needed anymore. The
130 kernel takes care of it for us with a new patch.
131 - Added test for valid PMBR, similar to parted and the kernel.
132 - Added test for returning size of block device as a u64.
133 - Added test for returning sector size as int, and use that.
134 - Changed GPT struct and member names to be more Linux-like.
135 - added -g option to force disk with invalid PMBR to be treated as GPT anyhow.
136 - released v0.4.0-test1
138 * Thu Aug 9 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
139 - Added some uniqueness to the MBR signature.
140 - removed ExclusiveArch from spec file
143 * Mon Aug 6 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
144 - applied patch from Richard Hirst <rhirst@linuxcare.com> to fix
145 efichar_char_strcmp().
148 * Fri Aug 3 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
149 - By request, warn when creating a new boot entry with the same name
150 as another boot entry.
153 * Mon Jul 30 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
154 - Added test for non-zero signature on MBR-style disks,
155 and new -w flag to write a unique signature to the disk if so.
156 - released v0.3.3-test4
157 - Fixed counting of optional data length (extra args)
158 - released v0.3.3-test5
160 * Fri Jul 27 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
161 - Added test for running as root
162 - released v0.3.3-test3
164 * Thu Jul 26 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
165 - Unparse extra args being passed to bootloader too.
166 - released v0.3.3-test2
168 * Wed Jul 25 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
169 - Added -u option to pass extra args to the bootloader in unicode
170 (default is to pass in ASCII)
171 - Added -t option to allow writing to a file (for testing)
172 - released v0.3.3-test1
174 * Tue May 22 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
175 - Applied patch from Andreas Schwab. remove_from_boot_order() called
176 read_boot_order() without checking the return status.
177 - Changed README to remove os loader args comment
178 - Changed efi_status_t to be unsigned long (not uint64_t) as per EFI
179 spec. This allows efibootmgr to be recompiled as a 32-bit or 64-bit app
180 depending on its running on 32-bit or 64-bit Linux. Note: this changes
181 the size of the structure returned in /proc/efi/vars to match the kernel
182 implementation. 32-bit efibootmgr won't work on 64-bit Linux and vice versa.
185 * Fri May 18 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
186 - changed usage() to *not* let you think you can pass args to the OS
190 * Fri May 18 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
191 - Padded HARDDRIVE_DEVICE_PATH out to please EFI Boot Manager.
192 - Incorporated patches from Andreas Schwab
193 - replace __u{8,16,32,64} with uint{8,16,32,64}_t
194 - use _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
198 * Tue May 15 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
199 - initial external release v0.2.0
