2006-03-21  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
    * merged patch to support gcc-4.1 submitted by
      Raymund Will from Novell/SuSE

2006-03-20  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
    * updated ia-64 and ia-32 linker scripts to
      match latest gcc. The new gcc may put functions in
      .text* sections. patch submitted by H.J. Lu from Intel.

2004-11-19  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
    * added patch to ignore .eh_frame section for IA-32. Patch
      submitted by Jim Wilson

2004-09-23  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
    * added patch to discard unwind sections, newer toolchains
      complained about them. Patch submitted by Jesse Barnes from SGI.

2003-09-29  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
    * updated elf_ia64_efi.lds to reflect new data sections 
      created by gcc-3.3. Patch provided by Andreas Schwab from Suse.

2003-06-20  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
    * updated elf_ia64_efi.lds and elf_ia32_efi.lds to include
      new types data sections produced by recent version of gcc-3.x

2002-02-22  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
    * release 3.0a
    * modified both IA-64 and IA-32 loader scripts to add support for the
      new .rodata sections names (such as rodata.str2.8). Required
      for new versions of gcc3.x.

2001-06-20  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
    * release 3.0
    * split gnu-efi package in two different packages: the libary+include+crt and the bootloader.
    * removed W2U() hack and related files to get from wide-char to unicode. 
    * Use -fshort-wchar option for unicode.
    * restructured Makefiles now install under INSTALLROOT.

2001-04-06  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

    * incorporated patches from David and Michael Johnston at Intel
      to get the package to compile for IA-32 linux target.

    * Fixed ELILO to compile for Ia-32 (does not execute yet, though):
      Makefile and start_kernel() function.

2001-04-06  Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>

    * Fixed config.c  to
      get the timeout directive to do something. implemented the global
      root= directive.

    * Fix the efi_main() to deal with the -C option properly

2001-04-05  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

    * update efi library to latest EFI toolkit 1.02 as distributed
      by Intel. Fixed header + library files to compile with GCC

    * merged ELI and LILO (as of gnu-efi-1.1) together, mostly
      taking the config file feature of ELI.

    * renamed LILO to ELILO to make the distinction

    * restructured code to make it easier to understand and maintain

    * fixed FPSWA driver checking and loading: we try all possible
      files and let the driver itself figure out if it is the most
      recent.
    * added support for compression (gzip) but keep support for plain
      ELF image. ELILO autodetects the format

    * change the way the kernel is invoked. Now we call it in 
      physical memory mode. This breaks the dependency between the
      kernel code and the loader. No more lilo_start.c madness.

    * changed the way the boot_params are passed. We don't use the 
      ZERO_PAGE_ADDR trick anymore. Instead we use EFI runtime memory.
      The address of the structure is passed to the kernel in r28
      by our convention.

    * released as gnu-efi-2.0

2001-04-03  David Mosberger  <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

    * gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c (_relocate): Change return type from "void"
    to "int".  Return error status if relocation fails for some
    reason.

    * gnuefi/elf_ia32_efi.lds: Drop unneeded ".rel.reloc" section.

    * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (_start): Exit if _relocate() returns with
    non-zero exit status.

    * inc/ia32/efibind.h [__GNUC__]: Force 8-byte alignment for 64-bit
    types as that is what EFI appears to be expecting, despite the
    "#pragma pack()" at the beginning of the file!

2001-03-29  David Mosberger  <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

    * gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c: Add a couple of defines to work around
    libc/efilib collision on uint64_t et al.
    (_relocate): Use ELF32_R_TYPE() instead of ELFW(R_TYPE)().

    * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (dummy): Add a dummy relocation entry.

2001-03-29  David Mosberger  <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

        * gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c: Add a couple of defines to work around
        libc/efilib collision on uint64_t et al.
        (_relocate): Use ELF32_R_TYPE() instead of ELFW(R_TYPE)().

        * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (dummy): Add a dummy relocation entry.

2000-10-26  David Mosberger  <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
 
    * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Mention .rela.sdata.
 
    * Make.defaults (CFLAGS): Remove -nostdinc flags so we can pick
    up the C compiler's stdarg.h.
 
    * inc/stdarg.h: Remove this file.  It's not correct for gcc (nor
    most other optimizing compilers).

2000-10-10  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

    * cleaned up the error message and printing of those.
    * added support to load the FPSWA from a file in case support is not
      present in the firmware already
    * fixed split_args() to do the right thing when you have leading spaces
      before kernel name
    * changed the argify() function to rely on \0 instead of LoadOptionSize
      as the field seems to be broken with current firmware
    * bumped version to 1.0

2000-10-04  David Mosberger  <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
 
    * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: Reserve space for up to 750 function descriptors.

    * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .sdata section for small data and
    put __gp in the "middle" of it.

    * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia64.S (_start): Use movl/add to load
    gp-relative addresses that could be out of the range of the addl
    offset.
    * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S (_relocate): Ditto.

    * apps/Makefile: Remove standard rules and include Make.rules instead.
    * lilo/Makefile: Ditto.

    * Make.rules: New file.

2000-08-04  Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
    * released version 0.9
    * incorporated ACPI changes for Asuza by NEC < kouchi@hpc.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>
    * added support for initrd (-i option) original ELI code from Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>)
    * lots of cleanups 
    * got rid of #ifdef LILO_DEBUG and uses macro instead
    * fix a few extra memory leaks in create_boot_params()
    * added exit capability just before starting the kernel

2000-06-22  David Mosberger  <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

    * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .srodata, .ctors, .IA64.unwind,
    .IA64.unwind_info to .data section and .rela.ctors to .rela
    section.

2000-04-03  David Mosberger  <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

    * lilo/lilo.c (LILO_VERSION): Up version number to 0.9.

    * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Include .IA_64.unwind and
    .IA_64.unwind_info in .data segment to avoid EFI load error
    "ImageAddress: pointer outside of image" error due to the .dynsym
    relocations against these sections.

    * ChangeLog: Moved from lilo/ChangeLogs.

    * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: fixed typo: .space directive had constant
    100 hardcoded instead of using MAX_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS
    macro. Duh.

Fri Mar 17 15:19:18 PST 2000 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

    * Released 0.8
    * replace the  getopt.c with new version free with better license
    * created a documentation file
    * fix a couple of memory leaks
    * code cleanups
    * created a separate directory for lilo in the gnu-efi package.
    * added support for the BOOT_IMAGE argument to kernel
    * default is to build natively now
