Subject: [PATCH 04/21] Goodbye CHANGELOG, welcome NEWS

The CHANGELOG file as it exists today is essentially redundant with

git log. It's not really user friendly, and duplicates the work on

the committer side.

Delete that file, and replace it with a more structured NEWS file,

listing only the most relevant changes in each version. The contents

would be pretty much the same as the release announcements.

This initial version covers most past releases.

-

-	* Makefile: Clarify license.

-

-2008-11-23  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* biosdecode.c: Stop using the inline keyword. It causes more

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Add many processor types taken from the CIM Schema.

-

-	Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.6, fourth round.

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Initial support for additional information entries

-	  the effort.

-	* dmidecode.c, dmidecode.8: Update reference SMBIOS document.

-	* dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Include entry type 41 in --type baseboard.

-	  dmi_cache_location(), dmi_system_reset_boot_option() and

-	  dmi_ipmi_register_spacing().

-

-2008-10-30  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Option --dump is only a

-	  modifier as --quiet is, so it's not actually mutually exclusive

-	  with the output format options.

-	* dmidecode.c: Make options --dump-bin and --quiet work together.

-	* dmidecode.c: Delay string filtering when option --dump is used.

-	* dmidecode.c: Refactor dmi_processor_family function to avoid

-	  code duplication.

-	* dmidecode.c: Fix up invalid SMBIOS version 2.51.

-

-2008-10-29  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Handle special case of processor family code 0xBE,

-	  which can be both Core 2 or K7. We use the processor

-	  manufacturer string as a hint (DMI type 4).

-

-2008-10-28  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Don't use function

-	  pointers for special string cases. Each special case is itself

-	  special and needs to call a function with its own prototype, so

-	  better have dedicated code to handle it all.

-	* dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, dmioem.c, dmioem.h: Mark a few

-	  pointers const.

-	* dmidecode.c, util.c, util.h: When dumping the DMI table to a

-	  binary file, truncate the file first.

-	* dmidecode.c: Support Processor Family 2 field also when queried

-	  with option --string.

-

-2008-10-27  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.6, second round.

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Add support for Processor Family 2 field

-	  (DMI type 4).

-	* dmidecode.c: Add processor types "Turion 64 X2", "Core Solo",

-	  "Core 2 Duo", "ESA/390 G6", "z/Architectur", "C7-M", "C7-D",

-	  "C7" and "Eden" (DMI type 4).

-	* dmidecode.c: Fix typo in processor type "AMD29000" (DMI type 4).

-	* dmidecode.c: Add processor upgrade types "Socket S1",

-	  "Socket AM2" and "Socket F (1207)" (DMI type 4).

-

-2008-10-26  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.6, first round.

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Byte-swap the first 3 fields of the UUID

-	  (DMI type 1).

-	* dmidecode.c: Add chassis types "Blade" and "Blade Enclosure"

-	  (DMI type 3).

-

-2008-10-26  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Simplify the handling and documentation

-	  of mutually exclusive output format options.

-	* dmidecode.8: Document the binary dump file format.

-	* dmidecode.c: Don't display the source dump file name in quiet

-	  mode.

-	* biosdecode.c, dmidecode.c, dmioem.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h,

-	  ownership.c, types.h, util.c, vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h:

-	  Mass coding-style change: add spaces around operators.

-	* vpddecode.c: Fix --quiet option.

-	* dmidecode.h, dmiopt.h: Pass version information to print

-	  callback functions.

-	* dmidecode.c: Fix up invalid SMBIOS version.

-	  (DMI type 2).

-

-2008-10-25  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Limit indentation in smbios_decode and

-	  legacy_decode.

-	* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c: Write binary dump to a compact file

-	  rather than a sparse file.

-	* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: New option --from-dump, read

-	  the DMI data from a binary file.

-	* dmidecode.8: Update the option --dump-bin, document the new

-	  option --from-dump.

-

-2008-08-28  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Add missing colon to temperature probe label.

-	  Patch from Alex Iribarren.

-

-2008-02-16  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* util.c, util.h: New helper function write_dump.

-	* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: New option --dump-bin, dump

-	  the DMI data to a sparse binary file.

-	* dmidecode.8: Document the new option --dump-bin.

-	* Makefile, biosdecode.c, dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, dmioem.c,

-	  dmioem.h, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h, ownership.c, util.c, util.h,

-	  vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: Update copyright statements.

-	* dmidecode.c: Adjust the error message which is displayed when

-	  the table is unreachable.

-

-2007-06-30  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* config.h: Add support for Solaris (x86 only, of course). Based

-	  on a patch by Sun's Dan Mick, brought to my knowledge by

-	  Attila Nagy.

-

-2007-06-27  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* Makefile: Fix the uninstall-man target.

-

-2007-06-07  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmidecode.c: If the SMBIOS entry point decoding fails (for

-	  example due to a bad checksum), still try decoding the

-	  encapsulated DMI entry point. Suggested by Luke Suchocki.

-	* dmidecode.c: Replace all occurrences of "KB" by the more

-	  correct "kB".

-

-2007-03-16  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* vpddecode.c: Stop asking the user to report bad checksums,

-	  unaligned records and the like. Such machines exist, too bad,

-	  we have to live with it.

-

-2007-02-27  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* biosdecode.c: Fix a compilation error with non-C99 compilers.

-	  Patch from Francois Revol.

-

-2007-02-26  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Fix an array overrun while decoding the system

-	  event log status (DMI type 15).

-	* biosdecode.c: Use printf instead of fwrite.

-	* dmidecode.8: Some OEM-specific types can be decoded now.

-	* biosdecode.8: List the FJKEYINF entry point type.

-	* vpddecode.8: The product name is no longer displayed.

-	* version.h: Set version to 2.9.

-

-2007-02-16  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Do not print the BIOS base address and runtime size

-	  if the base address is 0. This happens on IA-64 because there's

-	  no BIOS.

-	* Makefile, README: Do not build biosdecode, ownership and

-	  vpddecode on IA-64, as IA-64 systems have no BIOS. This was

-	  quite tricky to keep both GNU make and BSD make happy, but it

-	  seems that I finally succeeded.

-

-2007-02-13  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.5, second round.

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Decode new processor characteristics (multi-core,

-	  multi-thread, 64-bit) (DMI type 4).

-	* dmidecode.c: Decode slot ID of AGP 8x and PCI Express slots (DMI

-	  type 9).

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Fix the mask of 3 bitfield tests. This will let

-	  the memory type of some systems be properly reported as SDRAM.

-	* dmidecode.c: Fix the AMD processors signature decoding.

-	* README: Minor edits.

-

-2007-02-12  Jens Elkner  <elkner@linofee.org>

-

-	Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.5, first round.

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Add chassis types "CompactPCI" and "AdvancedTCA"

-	  (DMI type 3).

-	* dmidecode.c: Add processor types "Turion 64",

-	  "Dual-Core Opteron", "Athlon 64 X2", "Celeron D", "Pentium D"

-	  and "Pentium EE" (DMI type 4).

-	* dmidecode.c: Add processor upgrade types "Socket mPGA604",

-	  "Socket LGA771" and "Socket LGA775" (DMI type 4).

-	* dmidecode.c: Add connector type "SAS/SATA Plug Receptacle" and

-	  port types "SATA" and "SAS" (DMI type 8).

-	* dmidecode.c: Add on-board device types "PATA Controller",

-	  "SATA Controller" and "SAS Controller" (DMI type 10).

-	* dmidecode.c: Add memory device form factor "FB-DIMM" and memory

-	  device type "DDR2 FB-DIMM" (DMI type 17).

-

-2007-02-12  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmioem.c: Share the code between HP-specific types 209 and 221.

-	  Both types are really the same, only the title is different.

-	* dmioem.c: Make the HP-specific types 209 and 221 output a bit

-	  more verbose.

-	* dmidecode.c: Let --type decode OEM-specific entries when

-	  possible.

-	* dmidecode.c: Include decoded OEM-specific entries in quiet mode

-	  output (--quiet).

-	* dmidecode.c: Do not complain about truncated entries in quiet

-	  mode.

-	* dmioem.c: Decode HP-specific type 204 entries in a safer way:

-	  check the length before decoding, and don't assume that all

-	  strings are provided in the same order as they are used.

-

-	Update to support Intel AP-485 (CPUID) revision 31 (was 28).

-

-	* dmidecode.c: New CPUID flag IA64.

-	* dmidecode.c: Fix the decoding of Intel extended family.

-

-2007-02-11  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmioem.c, dmioem.h: New.

-	* Makefile, dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, dmioem.c, dmioem.h: Move the

-	  decoding of OEM-specific entries to a separate source file.

-	* dmidecode.c: DMI type 38 is tested by now.

-	* dmioem.c: The PCI function is typically represented as a single

-	  digit.

-	* Makefile, dmiopt.c, vpdopt.c, util.h: Define an ARRAY_SIZE macro

-	  which computes the size of a static array, and use it where

-	  relevant.

-

-2007-02-11  John Cagle  <jcagle@kernel.org>

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Add support for 3 HP-specific entries: system/rack

-	  locator (type 204), NIC MAC information (type 209) and NIC iSCSI

-	  MAC information (type 221).

-

-2007-01-14  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* vpddecode.c: Fix a rare warning.

-	* biosdecode.c: Add support for the FJKEYINF entry point, which

-	  contains data related to the "application panel" on Fujitsu

-	  laptops.

-

-2006-05-23  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Fix a recently introduced compilation error with

-	  non-C99 compilers.

-	* dmidecode.c: Check for short entries (less than 4 bytes), stop

-	  with an error when one is encountered.

-

-2006-05-13  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* vpddecode.c, README: Drop the product name lookup table. It

-	  was reported to be unreliable too many times, and was also

-	  difficult to maintain.

-

-2006-05-10  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Don't cast from u8* to dmi_header*, else

-	  architectures which do not support unaligned memory accesses

-	  may break. Instead, copy the members individually. That's a

-	  bit slower, but that's also safer and we only need to do it

-	  once per DMI entry, so it's not time critical. So far, we

-	  were using a trick to later work around the unaligned memory

-	  access, but the compiler would still warn about the risk,

-	  which is always confusing.

-	* config.h, types.h, README: Automatically enable the unaligned

-	  memory access workaround on ia64.

-	* types.h: Inline U64. It makes sense per se and also lets us

-	  get rid of a warning about U64 being unused.

-	* dmidecode.c: Detect EFI at run-time rather than compilation-

-	  time. Based on an original patch from Matthew Garrett. This

-	  will make x86 binaries work for both PC systems with BIOS and

-	  Macintosh systems with EFI. Also prevent a possible, though

-	  unlikely, NULL-pointer dereference in the EFI code.

-

-2006-02-25  Jean Delvare

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Fix typo reported by David Wilson (DMI case 3).

-

-2006-02-04  Jean Delvare

-

-	* vpddecode.c: Update lookup table from revision 2006-01-31 of IBM

-	  reference document (add product ID "7B").

-	* version.h: Set version to 2.8.

-

-2006-01-21  Jean Delvare

-

-	* vpddecode.c: The mysterious last character of xSeries records

-	  may be a BIOS revision. Display it as such when present and

-	  non zero, and ask users to report.

-	* vpddecode.c: Adjust an error message.

-	* dmidecode.8: Update the sample entry to match the new output

-	  format.

-	* README: Improve the IA-64 specific section and the vpddecode

-	  tool description.

-	* vpdopt.h: Add missing system header file include.

-

-2006-01-20  Jean Delvare

-

-	* vpddecode.c: Assume a constant length of 12 characters for the

-	  "Default Flash Image File Name" entry. The 13th character never

-	  contained anything useful, so it probably has a different

-	  meaning (unknown for now).

-

-2005-12-24  Jean Delvare

-

-	* vpddecode.c: Scan for VPD records on 4-byte boundaries instead

-	  of 16-byte boundaries. This is needed for some eServer xSeries

-	  206. Still emit a warning if a VPD record is found not on a

-	  16-byte boundary.

-

-2005-10-26  Jean Delvare

-

-	* vpddecode.c: Add product ID "NR". Reported by Klaus Muth.

-	* vpddecode.c: Update lookup table from revision 2005-10-06 of IBM

-	  reference document (add product IDs "77" and "78").

-

-2005-10-05  Jean Delvare

-

-	Update to support IPMI specification version 2.0 (was 1.5).

-

-	* dmidecode.c: Support IPMI interface type SSIF. Original patch

-	  by Garry Belka.

-

-2005-10-04  Jean Delvare

-

-	* vpdopt.c: Display the list of all valid string keywords when

-	  --string is used without an argument.

-	* vpddecode.8: Document the new -s, --string option.

-	* dmidecode.8: List the four new string keywords.

-	* vpddecode.c: Keep quiet when --string is used, even when no VPD

-	  record is found.

-

-2005-10-03  Jean Delvare

-

-	* biosdecode.c: Fix a potential (but highly improbable) buffer

-	  overrun in the VPD record decoding.

-	* biosdecode.c: Change the xSeries checksumming method to

-	  accommodate a strange xSeries 440 VPD record, as was done in

-	  vpddecode.c some weeks ago. Do not display the default flash

-	  image file name anymore, it's not so useful and the field length

-	  is now uncertain.

-	* vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: New.

-	* Makefile, vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: Move the command line

-	  handling of vpddecode to a separate source file.

-	* vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: Add option -s, --string. It

-	  prints one selected VPD string instead of the regular output.

-

-2005-09-24  Jean Delvare

-

-	* dmiopt.c: Fix incorrect header include. The strcasecmp function

-	  is defined in <strings.h>, not <string.h>. Reported by Petter

-	  Reinholdtsen.

-

-2005-09-14  Jean Delvare

-

-	* dmidecode.h: New.

-	* dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, Makefile: Export four specific

-	  decoding functions, make them suitable for external call.

-	* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h, Makefile: Make it possible

-	  for --string to print decoded binary data rather than only

-	  DMI strings. Add four such string keywords.

-	* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Modify the opt structure

-	  to handle the string option more efficiently.

-

-2005-09-13  Jean Delvare

-

-	* vpddecode.c: Slightly change the xSeries checksumming method to

-	  accommodate a strange xSeries 440 VPD record. Also tweak the

-	  decoding of the "Default Flash Image File Name" entry. Thanks

-	  to Torsten Seemann for providing a test VPD record.

-

-2005-09-05  Jean Delvare

-

-	* Makefile: Use -Wundef.
