I encountered a minor build error last night, caused by
an oversight during development. I quickly fixed the issue
but then decided to spend the night testing a few more
mainboards for addition; however if I continue doing this,
I'll never make the release.
So this is essentially the same as what the 20241205
release would have been, with only a minor bug fix in
the build system.

docs/hardware is redundant, because it now mostly
contains installation instructions, and docs/install
also contains hardware information. therefore, in
practise, they are both the same kind of information.
merge the two, and streamline everything. a lot of
redundant information has been removed.
docs/install/ has been re-structured in such a way
as to enable more chronological reading, to make it
easier for the average user to install Libreboot.
This is part of a larger series of changes I'm working
on for the documentation. I'm massively auditing the
entire Libreboot documentation.

90% of the info on the old pages was fluff, copied and pasted
to all the other pages.
replace them all with a single page. i've already directed the
old pages to the new one, in libreboot.org's httpd

but in a more diplomatic way, and fsf/fsdg/ryf isn't
even mentioned directly, but their ideology is referenced,
spoken in tongues.

it kinda needs to be there. my intention to be at peace
with *those people* is still on. you know the ones. but
there's no way to host this page without revealing that
hostility, which is currently *former* (or rather,
dormant) hostility. rather than censor specific information,
the entire page was deleted as part of the reconciliation
with fsf, referenced in the article itself, but this too was
a mistake.
no, the correct thing to do is *continue to host this page*.
the other hostile pages are not being re-added.
i'll probably delete this page again at some point, and
redirect it to a new history page, that will contain all
of the same substance and *more*, because:
this page was written in a day. it was written from start
to finish *on the same day* of libreboot's 10 year anniversary.
therefore, it's not as long as it could be.
a more complete history is on my TODO. one that also goes
into a lot more technical detail. libreboot has a rich and
vibrant history, yet has so far not documented its own
history well, and the relatively niche nature of libreboot
is that a lot of people don't really get what it's about,
so you won't find a lot of that info online - the history
of the project is entirely in my head.
there are other people who can provide their own accounts,
but i'm the only person that's been here since the beginning.
anyway, i digress.
dubiously happy hacking

the removed notes pertain to feature changes that i've since
reversed; seabios-only images provided now, alongside seagrub,
where seabios and grub are both enabled on a given board.
and multiple keymaps now provided again, but only on seagrub.

i once again stand by my previous assertion: canoeboot
will not be promoted, on libreboot.org. it is the bastard
child born out of hate.
however, despite previous assertions, i will continue to
maintain canoeboot, always in GNU Leah Mode.

fsf has never had any say over libreboot; i have. it was
all me, but i used to be part of their cult. i no longer
am.
this is housecleaning.

ditto is an understatement
that time (coldboot war) is over. gnuboot is a dead project.
fuck canoeboot. it served its purpose.
i'll probably do a few more canoeboot releases but i don't
want anyone hearing about it. its only purpose was to one-up
the gnu project when they started gnuboot, after they
previously tried to hostile-fork libreboot under the same name.
libreboot won. and canoeboot is inferior garbage. people should
use libreboot, heads, ownerboot, mrchromebook <-- those are
serious coreboot distros. gnuboot and canoeboot are pure garbage.
i will not promote garbage.

why the hell am i promoting canoeboot?
libreboot is superior.
i maintain canoeboot because... reasons.
it should not be promoted in libreboot releases!
