Summary of changes for version 20101013: + +This release is available at www.acpica.org/downloads + +1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: + +Added support to clear the PCIEXP_WAKE event. When clearing ACPI events, now +clear the PCIEXP_WAKE_STS bit in the ACPI PM1 Status Register, via +HwClearAcpiStatus. Original change from Colin King. ACPICA BZ 880. + +Changed the type of the predefined namespace object _TZ from ThermalZone to +Device. This was found to be confusing to the host software that processes +the various thermal zones, since _TZ is not really a ThermalZone. However, a +Notify() can still be performed on it. ACPICA BZ 876. Suggestion from Rui +Zhang. + +Added Windows Vista SP2 to the list of supported _OSI strings. The actual +string is "Windows 2006 SP2". + +Eliminated duplicate code in AcpiUtExecute* functions. Now that the nsrepair +code automatically repairs _HID-related strings, this type of code is no +longer needed in Execute_HID, Execute_CID, and Execute_UID. ACPICA BZ 878. + +Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent +acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The +debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a +much larger code and data size. + + Previous Release: + Non-Debug Version: 89.9K Code, 19.0K Data, 108.9K Total + Debug Version: 166.3K Code, 52.1K Data, 218.4K Total + Current Release: + Non-Debug Version: 89.9K Code, 19.0K Data, 108.9K Total + Debug Version: 166.3K Code, 52.1K Data, 218.4K Total + +2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: + +iASL: Implemented additional compile-time validation for _HID strings. The +non-hex prefix (such as "PNP" or "ACPI") must be uppercase, and the length of +the string must be exactly seven or eight characters. For both _HID and _CID +strings, all characters must be alphanumeric. ACPICA BZ 874. + +iASL: Allow certain "null" resource descriptors. Some BIOS code creates +descriptors that are mostly or all zeros, with the expectation that they will +be filled in at runtime. iASL now allows this as long as there is a "resource +tag" (name) associated with the descriptor, which gives the ASL a handle +needed to modify the descriptor. ACPICA BZ 873. + +Added single-thread support to the generic Unix application OSL. Primarily +for iASL support, this change removes the use of semaphores in the single- +threaded ACPICA tools/applications - increasing performance. The +_MULTI_THREADED option was replaced by the (reverse) ACPI_SINGLE_THREADED +option. ACPICA BZ 879. + +AcpiExec: several fixes for the 64-bit version. Adds XSDT support and support +for 64-bit DSDT/FACS addresses in the FADT. Lin Ming. + +iASL: Moved all compiler messages to a new file, aslmessages.h. + +---------------------------------------- 15 September 2010.
