Changelog file for omnibook package:
------------------------------------

2.XXXXXXXX Mathieu Bérard <math_b@users.sourceforge.net>
* DMI signature added:
	Toshiba Satellite P25 (ectype 11)
	Toshiba Satellite M60 (ectype 12)
* Applied patch from Danny Kukawka <dkukawka@suse.de> to
  fix compiler warning about use uninitialized variable
* Applied patch from Danny Kukawka <dkukawka@suse.de> to
  fix build the driver on older kernel versions
* Applied patches from Azael Avalos <coproscefalo@gmail.com>
  to add support to Satellite X205 and other laptops based on
  ICH8
* Fix build with kernel >= 2.6.30

2.20070211 Mathieu Bérard <math_b@users.sourceforge.net>
* Disable Acer support, acerhk module should provided better
  support with a far more complete autodetection database
  (see http://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~tauber/acerhk/)
* Fix and improve bluetooth handling for TSM30X class laptops
  bluetooth now also works for TSA105
* Implement Volume down,up and Mute buttons polling for ectype 2
   It was the last missing part from the "omke" module which never
   got ported to linux 2.6
* Implement ectype 13 Fn hotkeys handling.
* DMI signature added:
	HP Pavilion ze4500 (ectype 7)
	Toshiba Satellite 1130 (ectype 1)
	Toshiba Satellite A75 (ectype 12)
	Toshiba Tecra A4 (ectype 13)
	Toshiba Satellite A80 (ectype 12)
	Toshiba Satellite P100 (ectype 14)
* Split TSM30X (ectype 12) : this ectype was reimplemented and if the
  new implementation works with Toshiba M40X, M70, M100... it does not
  (and will never, due to hardware) with Toshiba M30X, the only way
  to fix this is to split TSM30X (ectype 12) in :
  -TSM70 (ectype 12) => new implementation (compal.c & acpi.c backends)
  -TSM30X (ectype 15) => old implementation (legacy backends)
  This is done by renaming TSM30X to TSM40 and restore old TSM30X
  The state of the Toshiba M35X is unknown and is assigned to TSM70, one
  should send a bug report if that fail.
  Fix bugs 1617818 and 1605278
* New features for TSM70 class laptops:
  -Cooling method control (can tune fan behaviour to 'Save power' or
   to 'Maximize performance') provided in /proc/omnibook/cooling 
  -CPU Throttling status&control (also known as ACPI T-States) should
   be supported out of the box via /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling
   but at least Toshiba Satellite M70 as a deficient ACPI FADT table
   which prevent than, thus a custom access to ACPI Throttling is 
   provided in /proc/omnibook/throttling

2.20060921 Mathieu Bérard <math_b@users.sourceforge.net>
* The minimal required kernel version is now 2.6.9 (kref API)
* Convert semaphore to mutex with fallback for pre 2.6.16 kernel
* Kill CONFIG_OMNIBOOK_APMEMU and introduce OMNIBOOK_LEGACY:
  pre-ACPI features now depends on it.
  Default enabling of ac and battery features also
  depends on it. It is _disabled_ by default.
* Introduce ACPI methods execution backend: TSM70 needs it
  for Display and Wifi/Bluetooth features
* Expand display and hotkeys features
* Introduce experimental NbSmi backend for TSM40. It is
  based on technical documentation provided by Toshiba.
  Thanks Toshiba !
* Kill unused omnibook_mem_read/write function for mmio
  access
* Cleanup in blank.c fan.c temperature.c
* Unbreak Pio backend: use request/release_region
* Introduce bluetooth and wifi frontend features : they allow
  adapter state querry and control (existence probing, wifi
  kill switch probing and adapter enabling/disabling).
  Supported by TSM30X and TSM40
* Introduce omnibook_backend struct as a uniform way of 
  communication between backend and frontend, this
  kill omnibook_io_{read/write} and friends.
* Modify ombibook_feature struct to incorporate pointers
  to an omnibook_table table and to a omnibook_operation
  struct which is picked-up from the ectype matching
  omnibook_table entry upon feature initialization
* Add muteled resume handler
* Add touchpad handling for TSM30X
* Add proper display handling for TSM30X
* Change all features struct name from foo_feature to
  foo_driver to kept modpost section mismatch detection
  silent. Put tbl, init and exit entries to their relevant
  sections.
* Many bugfix and dock support for TSM40 by Holger Nelson.
* Add DMI Signature for Toshiba Satellite 1700-Series, with ectype 10.
  LCD does not work.
* Add DMI Signature for Toshiba Equium A110, added with
  ectype 1, until implementation of a better backend
* Add DMI Signature for Toshiba _Satellite_ M100, Satellite A70 
  and Tecra S2. added with ectype 12
* Add DMI Signature for Toshiba Tecra S1, added with
  ectype 13

2.200608017 Mathieu Bérard <math_b@users.sourceforge.net>
* Fix bug un omnibook_io_match
* Fix DMI handling behaviour: we stop on the FIRST matched
  DMI entry. This is restoring pre-20060806 behaviour.
  Invert M40 vs. M40X entry position.

2.20060816 Mathieu Bérard <math_b@users.sourceforge.net>
* Merge from the new-backend branch: Add new backend code 
  (in compal.c) used with TSM30X class laptops:
  Used for lcd access
  Used for hotkeys support: now most Fn+key generate a scancode,
  as well as the wifi kill switch.
  Warning: tested only on TSM40X an TSM70 laptops.
* Create omnibook_io_operation struct and omnibook_io_{read/write}
  funtions to simplify implementation of some simple features.
  Used with ac display dock and led features.
* Rename onetouch feature to "hotkeys" which is a vendor neutral name.
* The minimal required kernel version is now 2.6.9 (kref API)
* Convert semaphore to mutex with fallback for pre 2.6.16 kernel
* Kill CONFIG_OMNIBOOK_APMEMU and introduce OMNIBOOK_LEGACY:
  pre-ACPI features now depends on it.
  Default enabling of ac and battery features also
  depends on it. It is _disabled_ by default.
* Introduce ACPI methods execution backend: TSM70 needs it
  for Display and Wifi/Bluetooth features
* Expand display and hotkeys features
* Introduce experimental NbSmi backend for TSM40. It is
  based on technical documentation provided by Toshiba.

2.20060809 Mathieu Bérard <math_b@users.sourceforge.net>
* Add dmi info for Toshiba Satellite M40X (Thanks Julien Valroff) 
* Fix two brown paper bag bugs in Debian/Ubuntu support 

2.20060806 Mathieu Bérard <math_b@users.sourceforge.net>
* Make the module linux 2.6 only
  Kernel versions from 2.6.8 to a least 2.6.17 are supported
  Code for compatibility with kernels older than 2.6.17 is 
  mostly implemented in compat.h
* Integrate with Driver Model:
  register as a platform device and optional
  registration as a backlight device (2.6.17+ required here)
* Get rid of deprecated pm_legacy functions
* Use kernel-provided DMI information:
  Use kernel-provided dmi_check_system for system identification
  omnibook_tc_t and omnibook_models_t are merged and converted into a
  dmi_system_id struct and moved from init.c to laptop.h
* MODULE_PARAM -> 2.6-style module_parm_*
* Move some code from "feature".c files back to init.c
  Interface is provided by the new omnibook_feature struct
  Enabled features are now in placed in a linked list
  This eliminate util.c
  Rationale: Reduce code duplication and create a standard template for features
* Move dmi and version display into their own file: info.c
* Remove all (as unneeded) EXPORT_SYMBOL
* Misc fixes in Makefile
  Also make more use of Kbuild
* Use sscanf and simple_stro{u}l for strings parsing instead of custom code
* Run lindent for better conformance with kernel coding style
* Add very limited support for some Toshiba M40 (more info needed)
* Use bitmasks for EC types matching, this change is transparent for the user
  (e.g. one can still use ectype=num module parameter)
  Rationale: Reduce the size of the omnibook_feature struct
* Polish Debian support: Use module-assistant and fix all Lintian warning
  Fix building against non-running kernel (Thanks to Daniel Gimpelevich)
* Update documentation and omnibook-integration.patch
* Fix spinlock usage: they can be used unconditionally as they are automatically
  optimized out at build-time on UP. This should improve PREEMPT safety
* Spinlock protect omnibook_mem_* and use ioread8 and iowrite8
* Fix: Custom EC access function are also used if ACPI is compiled but disabled
* Cleanup: remove lots of unneeded #ifdef
* Add a new feature for testers: dump
  Dump was stolen from the ibm_acpi driver
  It is disabled by default
* Bump version to 2.YYYYMMDD
