-This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads
+
+1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
+
+Improve support for the so-called "module-level code", which is defined 
+to be math, logical and control AML opcodes that appear outside of any 
+control method. This change improves the support by adding more opcodes 
+that can be executed in the manner. Some other issues have been solved, 
+and the ASL grammar changes to support such code under all scope 
+operators (Device, etc.) are complete. Lv Zheng.
+
+UEFI support: these OSL functions have been implemented. This is an 
+additional step toward supporting the AcpiExec utility natively (with 
+full hardware access) under UEFI. Marcelo Ferreira.
+    AcpiOsReadPciConfiguration
+    AcpiOsWritePciConfiguration
+
+Fixed a possible mutex error during control method auto-serialization. Lv 
+Zheng. 
+
+Updated support for the Generic Address Structure by fully implementing 
+all GAS fields when a 32-bit address is expanded to a 64-bit GAS. Lv 
+Zheng.
+
+Updated the return value for the internal _OSI method. Instead of 
+0xFFFFFFFF, the "Ones" value is now returned, which is 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 
+for 64-bit ACPI tables. This fixes an incompatibility with other ACPI 
+implementations, and will be reflected and clarified in the next version 
+of the ACPI specification.
+
+Implemented two new table events that can be passed to an ACPICA table 
+handler. These events are used to indicate a table installation or 
+uninstallation. These events are used in addition to existed table load 
+and unload events. Lv Zheng.
+
+Implemented a cleanup for all internal string-to-integer conversions. 
+Consolidate multiple versions of this functionality and limit possible 
+bases to either 10 or 16 to simplify the code. Adds a new file, 
+utstrtoul64.
+
+Cleanup the inclusion order of the various compiler-specific headers. 
+This simplifies build configuration management. The compiler-specific 
+headers are now split out from the host-specific headers. Lv Zheng.
+
+Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 
+acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The 
+debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 
+has a much larger code and data size.
+
+  Current Release:
+    Non-Debug Version: 140.1K Code, 58.1K Data, 198.1K Total
+    Debug Version:     200.3K Code, 82.1K Data, 282.4K Total
+
+
+2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
+
+iASL/AcpiExec: Added a command line option to display the build date/time 
+of the tool (-vd). This can be useful to verify that the correct version 
+of the tools are being used.
+
+AML Debugger: Implemented a new subcommand ("execute predef") to execute 
+all predefined control methods and names within the current namespace. 
+This can be useful for debugging problems with ACPI tables and the ACPI 
+namespace.

- * DESCRIPTION: Convert a string into an unsigned value. Performs either a
- *              32-bit or 64-bit conversion, depending on the input integer
- *              size (often the current mode of the interpreter).
- *
- * NOTES:       Negative numbers are not supported, as they are not supported
- *              by ACPI.
- *
- *              AcpiGbl_IntegerByteWidth should be set to the proper width.
- *              For the core ACPICA code, this width depends on the DSDT
- *              version. For iASL, the default byte width is always 8 for the
- *              parser, but error checking is performed later to flag cases
- *              where a 64-bit constant is defined in a 32-bit DSDT/SSDT.
- *
- *              Does not support Octal strings, not needed at this time.

+ * Examples:

+ *      ToInteger ("0xABCD")
+ *
+ *  1)  Can be (must be) either a decimal or hexadecimal numeric string.
+ *      A hex value must be prefixed by "0x" or it is interpreted as a decimal.
+ *
+ *  2)  The value must not exceed the maximum of an integer value. ACPI spec
+ *      states the behavior is "unpredictable", so ACPICA matches the behavior
+ *      of the implicit conversion case.(NO ERROR)
+ *
+ *  3)  Behavior on the first non-hex character is not specified by the ACPI
+ *      spec, so ACPICA matches the behavior of the implicit conversion case
+ *      and terminates. (NO ERROR)
+ *
+ *  4)  A null (zero-length) string is illegal.
+ *      However, ACPICA allows this for compatibility with previous ACPICA.

+ *              Flags                   - Conversion info, see below

+ *
+ * RETURN:      Status and Converted value
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION: Convert a string into an unsigned value. Performs either a
+ *              32-bit or 64-bit conversion, depending on the input integer
+ *              size in Flags (often the current mode of the interpreter).
+ *
+ * Values for Flags:
+ *      ACPI_STRTOUL_32BIT      - Max integer value is 32 bits
+ *      ACPI_STRTOUL_64BIT      - Max integer value is 64 bits
+ *      ACPI_STRTOUL_BASE16     - Input string is hexadecimal. Default
+ *                                is 10/16 based on string prefix (0x).
+ *
+ * NOTES:
+ *   Negative numbers are not supported, as they are not supported by ACPI.
+ *
+ *   Supports only base 16 or base 10 strings/values. Does not
+ *   support Octal strings, as these are not supported by ACPI.
+ *
+ * Current users of this support:
+ *
+ *  Interpreter - Implicit and explicit conversions, GPE method names
+ *  Debugger    - Command line input string conversion
+ *  iASL        - Main parser, conversion of constants to integers
+ *  iASL        - Data Table Compiler parser (constant math expressions)
+ *  iASL        - Preprocessor (constant math expressions)
+ *  AcpiDump    - Input table addresses
+ *  AcpiExec    - Testing of the AcpiUtStrtoul64 function
+ *
+ * Note concerning callers:
+ *   AcpiGbl_IntegerByteWidth can be used to set the 32/64 limit. If used,
+ *   this global should be set to the proper width. For the core ACPICA code,
+ *   this width depends on the DSDT version. For iASL, the default byte
+ *   width is always 8 for the parser, but error checking is performed later
+ *   to flag cases where a 64-bit constant is defined in a 32-bit DSDT/SSDT.
