-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **ThinkPad X60/X60s**
|
|
- You can also remove the motherboard from an X61/X61s and replace
|
|
it with an X60/X60s motherboard. An X60 Tablet motherboard will
|
|
also fit inside an X60/X60s.
|
|
- **ThinkPad X60 Tablet** (1024x768 and 1400x1050) with digitizer
|
|
support
|
|
- See ***docs/hardware/\#supported\_x60t\_list*** for list of supported
|
|
LCD panels
|
|
- It is unknown whether an X61 Tablet can have it's mainboard
|
|
replaced with an X60 Tablet motherboard.
|
|
- **ThinkPad T60** (Intel GPU) (there are issues; see below):

|
panels.

|
with a T60 motherboard.

Changes for this release, relative to r20150208 (earliest changes last, recent changes first)
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Add a whitelist entry to board\_enable.c in flashrom, for the
|
|
ThinkPad R400, T400 and T500
|
|
- Updated flashrom (to SVN revision 1889)
|
|
- X200 whitelist patch removed (merged upstream)
|
|
- X200 whitelist modified to include X200S and X200 Tablet
|
|
- libreboot\_util: don't include cmos layout files (not needed
|
|
anymore)
|
|
- **coreboot-libre: backport patches for X200 Tablet digitizer
|
|
support**
|
|
- build/release/archives: create SHA512 sum manifest file of the
|
|
release archives
|
|
- build/release/archives: separate crossgcc into a new archive
|
|
- disabled generation of txtmode ROM images for now (they will be back
|
|
again in the next release)
|
|
- coreboot-libre: delete unused code (reduce size of src archive)
|
|
- Flashing guides: make them more friendly to colourblind people
|
|
- docs/gnulinux/encrypted\_\*.html: Remove mention of password
|
|
length - it was arbitrary and pointless.
|
|
- docs/maintain/: Finish the guide
|
|
- scripts/download/coreboot: use diffs included in libreboot, not
|
|
external gerrit cherry-picks - review.coreboot.org (gerrit) being
|
|
down no longer kills libreboot (backup mirrors of the master
|
|
repository exist)
|
|
- docs/install/bbb\_setup.html: Add info about wp/hold and pinouts
|
|
- docs/: improve the description of libreboot

|
|
- docs/hardware/t500.html: Add screen compatibility report (TODO: fix
|
|
incompatible screens)
|
|
- Update coreboot(again) + merge GM45 hybrid GPU patches - means that
|
|
T400/T500 with the ATI+Intel hybrid GPU setup will work (ATI
|
|
disabled, Intel permanently enabled). power\_on\_after\_fail nvram
|
|
option added to all GM45 boards, defaulting to No, so that plugging
|
|
it AC doesn't boot up the system against the users will. Net20DC is
|
|
now the default debug dongle on all boards (compatible with BBB).

|
reduces the size of the other archives considerably

|
- Move DEBLOB to resources/utilities/coreboot-libre/deblob
|
|
- scripts/helpers/build/release: Delete DEBLOB from libreboot\_src/ -
