+
+ Version 2.0.1
+
+ * Postpone most sanity checking of CMOS layout information until right
+ before a CMOS read or write operation is attempted. This fixes a
+ problem discovered by Stefan Reinauer in which lxbios was failing on
+ Opteron due to the existence of a "user_data" parameter that is 256
+ bits long. In general, postponing the sanity checks will make
+ lxbios more adaptable to changes in how LinuxBIOS stores CMOS
+ parameters.
+
+ * Merge fix from Stefan Reinauer that makes hex dumps look a bit
+ nicer.
+
+ * Merge fix from Stefan Reinauer that allows lxbios to access CMOS
+ memory beyond the first 128 bytes.
+
+Fri Dec 16 14:30:00 PST 2005 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
+
+ Version 2.0.0
+
+ * Added the following options:
+
+ -Y
+ Write CMOS layout information to standard output.
+
+ -b OUTPUT_FILE
+ Write the contents of CMOS memory to a binary file.
+
+ -B INPUT_FILE
+ Read binary data from file and write it to CMOS memory.
+
+ -x
+ Show a hex dump of all CMOS data.
+
+ -X DUMPFILE
+ Read binary data from a CMOS dumpfile and show a hex dump of
+ the data.
+
+ Thanks to Stefan Reinauer for suggesting the ideas for the "-Y",
+ "-b OUTPUT_FILE", and "-B INPUT_FILE" options.
+
+ * Added support for reading/writing CMOS parameters between 1 and 64
+ bits in size that are not necessarily aligned on byte boundaries.
+
+ * Reworked much of the code, cleaning up some ugly parts.
+
+ * Made a number of minor improvements.
+
+Wed Nov 30 16:30:00 PST 2005 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
+
+ Version 1.4.0
+
+ * Merge patch from Stefan Reinauer <stepan@openbios.org> that makes
+ lxbios recognize the LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM entry placed in the
+ coreboot table by newer versions of LinuxBIOS.
+
+ * Tweak formatting of code to facilitate merging future patches.
+
+ * Minor code cleanup.
+
+Fri Jun 25 18:30:00 PDT 2004 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
+
+ Version 1.3.2.
+
+ * Changed default_is_printable_fn to avoid problems displaying hex
+ dumps.
+
+Thu Jun 10 14:00:00 PDT 2004 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
+
+ Version 1.3.1.
+
+ * Minor code cleanup.
+
+Fri Mar 7 18:00:00 PST 2003 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
+
+ Version 1.3.0.
+
+ * Added -y option that tells lxbios to get CMOS layout information
+ from a file instead of from the CMOS option table.
+
+ * Modified command syntax so that -r flag is required for reading a
+ single CMOS parameter.
+
+ * Fixed bug where CMOS checksum was being displayed with bytes
+ reversed.
+
+Thu Dec 5 14:30:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
+
+ Version 1.2.3.
+
+ * Fixed bug where checksum was not being updated after changing CMOS
+ parameter values.
+
+ * Added code to verify checksum when reading CMOS parameters.
+
+ * Modified program so that check_sum parameter is treated differently
+ from other CMOS parameters. Now, -c option must be used to
+ read/write check_sum parameter.
+
+Thu Nov 14 15:15:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
+
+ Version 1.2.2.
+
+ * Shortened output of usage message.
+
+Mon Nov 11 18:00:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
+
+ Version 1.2.1.
+
+ * Fixed typo in man page.
+
+Mon Nov 11 10:00:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
+
+ Version 1.2.0.
+
+ * Added hex dump stuff.
+
+Fri Nov 8 17:00:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
+
+ Version 1.1.0.
+
+ * Added -l option for displaying entries from coreboot table.
+
+ * Added -d option for low-level dump of coreboot table.
+
+ * Improved code that searches for coreboot table.
