Revision 2
----------
NOTE: Source code archive not available for rev2, because another revision
was made that also includes the rev2 change; a 'rev3` source archive is
available.
Revision 2 fixed a minor mistake in the Intel Flash Descriptor on HP 8200
machines, specifically the 4MB target; the Platform Data region was wrong,
which caused issues when flashing. The
file `libreboot-20240612rev2_hp8200sff_4mb.tar.xz` is available,
replacing `libreboot-20240612_hp8200sff_4mb.tar.xz`, on Libreboot rsync.
Revision 3
----------
Removed `util/autoport/`, becaues it's not required in release archives.
The source code archive is now `libreboot-20240612rev3_src.tar.xz` for this
release, on Libreboot rsync. It contains the original 20240612 changes, in
addition to rev1 and rev2 changes, alongside rev3 (removal of autoport).
The autoport source files lack license headers, which is OK in the context
of `coreboot.git` which contains a fallback COPYING file, but our own
equivalent of that file contains a different license, so the way we were
packaging autoport wasn`t ideal; it's possible that we may have unintentionally
violated the license. This is the first reason for the removal.
The second reason for the removal is that we only intend for this to be used
for development anyway, where it is recommended that you use `lbmk.git`, not
the release archives, and upstream (coreboot) has merged the Haswell support
patches that we were importing, so our copy of autoport is no longer useful.
