Summary of changes for version 20130626: + +1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem: + +Fixed an issue with runtime repair of the _CST object. Null or invalid +elements were not always removed properly. Lv Zheng. + +Removed an arbitrary restriction of 256 GPEs per GPE block (such as the +FADT-defined GPE0 and GPE1). For GPE0, GPE1, and each GPE Block Device, +the maximum number of GPEs is 1016. Use of multiple GPE block devices +makes the system-wide number of GPEs essentially unlimited. + +Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent +acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The +debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and +has a much larger code and data size. + + Current Release: + Non-Debug Version: 95.9K Code, 26.9K Data, 122.8K Total + Debug Version: 184.1K Code, 76.7K Data, 260.8K Total + Previous Release: + Non-Debug Version: 96.0K Code, 27.0K Data, 123.0K Total + Debug Version: 184.1K Code, 76.8K Data, 260.9K Total + + +2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: + +Portable AcpiDump: Implemented full support for the Linux and FreeBSD +hosts. Now supports Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows. + +Disassembler: Added some missing types for the HEST and EINJ tables: "Set +Error Type With Address", "CMCI", "MCE", and "Flush Cacheline". + +iASL/Preprocessor: Implemented full support for nested +#if/#else/#elif/#endif blocks. Allows arbitrary depth of nested blocks. + +Disassembler: Expanded maximum output string length to 64K. Was 256 bytes +max. The original purpose of this constraint was to limit the amount of +debug output. However, the string function in question (UtPrintString) is +now used for the disassembler also, where 256 bytes is insufficient. +Reported by RehabMan@GitHub. + +iASL/DataTables: Fixed some problems and issues with compilation of DMAR +tables. ACPICA BZ 999. Lv Zheng. + +iASL: Fixed a couple of error exit issues that could result in a "Could +not delete <file>" message during ASL compilation. + +AcpiDump: Allow "FADT" and "MADT" as valid table signatures, even though +the actual signatures for these tables are "FACP" and "APIC", +respectively. + +AcpiDump: Added support for multiple UEFI tables. Only SSDT and UEFI +tables are allowed to have multiple instances. + +---------------------------------------- 17 May 2013.
