+28 April 2010. Summary of changes for version 20100428:
+
+1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
+
+Implemented GPE support for dynamically loaded ACPI tables. For all GPEs, 
+including FADT-based and GPE Block Devices, execute any _PRW methods in the 
+new table, and process any _Lxx/_Exx GPE methods in the new table. Any 
+runtime GPE that is referenced by an _Lxx/_Exx method in the new table is 
+immediately enabled. Handles the FADT-defined GPEs as well as GPE Block 
+Devices. Provides compatibility with other ACPI implementations. Two new 
+files added, evgpeinit.c and evgpeutil.c. ACPICA BZ 833. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
+
+Fixed a regression introduced in version 20100331 within the table manager 
+where initial table loading could fail. This was introduced in the fix for 
+AcpiReallocateRootTable. Also, renamed some of fields in the table manager 
+data structures to clarify their meaning and use.
+
+Fixed a possible allocation overrun during internal object copy in 
+AcpiUtCopySimpleObject. The original code did not correctly handle the case 
+where the object to be copied was a namespace node. Lin Ming. ACPICA BZ 847.
+
+Updated the allocation dump routine, AcpiUtDumpAllocation and fixed a 
+possible access beyond end-of-allocation. Also, now fully validate descriptor 
+(size and type) before output. Lin Ming, Bob Moore. ACPICA BZ 847
+
+Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 
+acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 
+debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 
+much larger code and data size.
+
+  Previous Release:
+    Non-Debug Version:  87.9K Code, 18.6K Data, 106.5K Total
+    Debug Version:     163.5K Code, 51.3K Data, 214.8K Total
+  Current Release:
+    Non-Debug Version:  88.4K Code, 18.8K Data, 107.2K Total
+    Debug Version:     164.2K Code, 51.5K Data, 215.7K Total
+
+2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
+
+iASL: Implemented Min/Max/Len/Gran validation for address resource 
+descriptors. This change implements validation for the address fields that 
+are common to all address-type resource descriptors. These checks are 
+implemented: Checks for valid Min/Max, length within the Min/Max window, 
+valid granularity, Min/Max a multiple of granularity, and _MIF/_MAF as per 
+table 6-40 in the ACPI 4.0a specification. Also split the large aslrestype1.c 
+and aslrestype2.c files into five new files. ACPICA BZ 840.
+
+iASL: Added support for the _Wxx predefined names. This support was missing 
+and these names were not recognized by the compiler as valid predefined 
+names. ACPICA BZ 851.
+
+iASL: Added an error for all predefined names that are defined to return no 
+value and thus must be implemented as Control Methods. These include all of 
+the _Lxx, _Exx, _Wxx, and _Qxx names, as well as some other miscellaneous 
+names such as _DIS, _INI, _IRC, _OFF, _ON, and _PSx. ACPICA BZ 850, 856.
+
+iASL: Implemented the -ts option to emit hex AML data in ASL format, as an 
+ASL Buffer. Allows ACPI tables to be easily included within ASL files, to be 
+dynamically loaded via the Load() operator. Also cleaned up output for the -
+ta and -tc options. ACPICA BZ 853.
+
+Tests: Added a new file with examples of extended iASL error checking. 
+Demonstrates the advanced error checking ability of the iASL compiler. 
+Available at tests/misc/badcode.asl.
