Summary of changes for version 20111123: +11 January 2012. Summary of changes for version 20120111: + +This release is available at www.acpica.org/downloads. +The ACPI 5.0 specification is available at www.acpi.info. + +1) ACPICA Core Subsystem: + +Implemented a new mechanism to allow host device drivers to check for address +range conflicts with ACPI Operation Regions. Both SystemMemory and SystemIO +address spaces are supported. A new external interface, AcpiCheckAddressRange, +allows drivers to check an address range against the ACPI namespace. See the +ACPICA reference for additional details. Adds one new file, +utilities/utaddress.c. Lin Ming, Bob Moore. + +Fixed several issues with the ACPI 5.0 FADT support: Add the sleep Control and +Status registers, update the ACPI 5.0 flags, and update internal data +structures to handle an FADT larger than 256 bytes. The size of the ACPI 5.0 +FADT is 268 bytes. + +Updated all ACPICA copyrights and signons to 2012. Added the 2012 copyright to +all module headers and signons, including the standard Linux header. This +affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, and +all ACPICA utilities. + +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. -This release is available at www.acpica.org/downloads -The ACPI 5.0 specification is available at www.acpi.info + Previous Release: + Non-Debug Version: 92.3K Code, 24.9K Data, 117.2K Total + Debug Version: 170.8K Code, 72.6K Data, 243.4K Total + Current Release: + Non-Debug Version: 92.8K Code, 24.9K Data, 117.7K Total + Debug Version: 171.7K Code, 72.9K Data, 244.5K Total + + +2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: + +Disassembler: fixed a problem with the automatic resource tag generation +support. Fixes a problem where the resource tags are inadvertently not +constructed if the table being disassembled contains external references to +control methods. Moved the actual construction of the tags to after the final +namespace is constructed (after 2nd parse is invoked due to external control +method references.) ACPICA BZ 941. + +Table Compiler: Make all "generic" operators caseless. These are the operators +like UINT8, String, etc. Making these caseless improves ease-of-use.
