Summary of changes for version 20150515: + +This release implements most of ACPI 6.0 as described below. + +1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem: + +Implemented runtime argument checking and return value checking for all +new ACPI 6.0 predefined names. This includes: _BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI, +_MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN. + +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: 99.9K Code, 27.5K Data, 127.4K Total + Debug Version: 195.2K Code, 80.8K Data, 276.0K Total + Previous Release: + Non-Debug Version: 99.1K Code, 27.3K Data, 126.4K Total + Debug Version: 192.8K Code, 79.9K Data, 272.7K Total + + +2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: + +iASL compiler: Added compile-time support for all new ACPI 6.0 predefined +names (argument count validation and return value typechecking.) + +iASL disassembler and table compiler: implemented support for all new +ACPI 6.0 tables.

The new directive is #includebinary. It takes a +binary file as input and emits a named ascii buffer object into the ASL +code. + +AcpiHelp: Added support for all new ACPI 6.0 predefined names. + +AcpiHelp: Added a new option, -d, to display all iASL preprocessor +directives. + +AcpiHelp: Added a new option, -t, to display all known/supported ACPI +tables. + +---------------------------------------- 10 April 2015.
