+
+2012-03-26 Anton Arapov <anton@redhat.com>
+
+ * man/dmidecode.8: Add missing DMI type introduced with SMBIOS 2.7+, and
+ include the information about the extra output when dmidecode is run
+ on a hardware that has non-supported SMBIOS version.
+
+2012-03-12 Anton Arapov <anton@redhat.com>
+
+ * dmioem.c: Add "PXE" to the HP OEM Type 209 output so it is similar to
+ the "iSCSI" description in HP OEM Type 221. Patch from Naga Chumbalkar.
+
+2011-11-18 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Properly print the hexadecimal value of invalid
+ string characters.
+
+2011-11-14 Anton Arapov <anton@redhat.com>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Make dmi_chassis_type aware of the lock bit.
+ Patch from Stefan Tauner.
+ * config.h: Haiku dropped the _BEOS_ definition in favor of its own
+ platform identification _HAIKU_. Patch from Francois Revol.
+
+2011-04-20 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.7.1.
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Add 6 AMD processor families (DMI type 4).
+ * dmidecode.c: Add cache associativity value
+ "20-way Set-associative" (DMI type 7).

+
+2010-11-24 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Assume that the max power capacity is expressed in
+ Watts, not milliWatts (DMI type 39). The specification isn't
+ clear about the actual unit, but the only implementation I've
+ seen (HP Proliant G7) clearly uses Watts. Also, using milliWatts
+ would limit the max value that can be stored to 32 W, which
+ doesn't make much sense.

+
+ * dmidecode.c: Update the link to the AP-485 document, the revision
+ and the table number.
+ * dmidecode.c: Update two CPU flag descriptions (FXSR and HTT).
+ Drop CPU flag IA64.
+ * dmidecode.c: Update the list of processors for which we decode the
+ CPUID flags.
+
+2010-10-11 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: One more SMBIOS version fix-up case.
+ * Makefile: Rework BSD make compatibility trick. The previous
+ trick would break GNU make 3.82.
+
+2010-09-29 Anton Arapov <anton@redhat.com>
+
+ * util.c: makes dmidecode fall back to regular reads if the mmap
+ fails. Patch from Olof Johansson.
+
+2010-09-21 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Fix Xeon 7xxx entries in CPU name lookup table
+ (DMI type 4). Patch from Paul Flo Williams.

+ "Quad-Core Xeon 7xxx" and "Multi-Core Xeon 7xxx" (DMI type 4).
+ * dmidecode.c: Add slot types "PCI Express Gen 2 x1",
+ "PCI Express Gen 2 x2", "PCI Express Gen 2 x4",
+ "PCI Express Gen 2 x8" and "PCI Express Gen 2 x16" (DMI type 9).

+
+2009-06-19 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+

+ GB. Bug reported by Lin Li (HP).
+
+2009-04-30 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Warn if decoding an SMBIOS implementation which is
+ newer than what we support.
+
+2009-04-04 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * Makefile: Clarify license.
+
+2008-11-23 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * biosdecode.c: Stop using the inline keyword. It causes more
+ portability issues than is worth given how little we care about
+ performance in this tool, and recent versions of gcc know when
+ to inline functions anyway.
+ * version.h: Set version to 2.10.
+
+2008-11-14 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Handle chassis information records of size 19
+ (DMI type 3).
+
+2008-11-10 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Claim to support revision 32 of Intel AP-485
+ (CPUID). No relevant change since revision 31.
+ * dmidecode.c: Update reference to AMD CPUID document.
+
+2008-11-09 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Decode the CPUID of more Intel, VIA and AMD
+ processors (DMI type 4).
+ * dmidecode.c: More CPUID exceptions based on the version string
+ (DMI type 4).
+ * README: Drop reference to the Linux kernel.
+ * README: Drop "model-specific issues" common problem entry, it is
+ no longer relevant.
+ * README: Simplify "IA-64" common problem entry, most of the
+ issues are solved by now.
+
+2008-11-08 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Add many processor types taken from the CIM Schema.
+ * dmidecode.c: Drop all references to the DMTF Master MIF
+ document. This document hasn't been updated in years, so the
+ additions it may contain are no longer relevant.
+
+2008-11-07 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Handle base board information records of size 9
+ (DMI type 2).
+ * dmidecode.c: Don't display access time equivalent of memory
+ device speed (DMI type 17). The access time didn't add much
+ value, and rounding effects made it look bad at times.
+
+2008-11-07 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.6, fourth round.
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Initial support for additional information entries
+ (DMI type 40). Proper support of this new entry type would
+ require redesigning a large part of the code, so I am waiting
+ to see actual implementations of it to decide whether it's worth
+ the effort.
+ * dmidecode.c, dmidecode.8: Update reference SMBIOS document.
+ * dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Include entry type 41 in --type baseboard.
+
+2008-11-05 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.6, third round.
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Decode the group number, bus number and
+ device/function number of system slots (DMI type 9).
+ Based on a preliminary patch by Matt Domsch.
+ * dmidecode.c: Decode onboard devices extended information
+ entries (DMI type 41). Based on a preliminary patch by Matt
+ Domsch.
+ * dmidecode.c: Add slot types "PCI Express x1", "PCI Express x2",
+ "PCI Express x4", "PCI Express x8" and "PCI Express x16"
+ (DMI type 9).
+ * dmidecode.c: Decode the memory device rank (DMI type 17).
+
+2008-11-02 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Use binary search for dmi_processor_family, it's
+ faster than linear search (DMI type 4).
+ * dmidecode.c: Decode boot integrity services entry point entries
+ (DMI type 31).
+
+2008-10-31 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: The compiler knows how to reuse strings, it doesn't
+ need our help, and actually it does a better job without it. So,
+ turn out_of_spec into a define.
+ * dmidecode.c: Optimize functions dmi_processor_status(),
+ dmi_cache_location(), dmi_system_reset_boot_option() and
+ dmi_ipmi_register_spacing().
+
+2008-10-30 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Option --dump is only a
+ modifier as --quiet is, so it's not actually mutually exclusive
+ with the output format options.
+ * dmidecode.c: Make options --dump-bin and --quiet work together.
+ * dmidecode.c: Delay string filtering when option --dump is used.
+ * dmidecode.c: Refactor dmi_processor_family function to avoid
+ code duplication.
+ * dmidecode.c: Fix up invalid SMBIOS version 2.51.
+
+2008-10-29 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Handle special case of processor family code 0xBE,
+ which can be both Core 2 or K7. We use the processor
+ manufacturer string as a hint (DMI type 4).
+
+2008-10-28 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Don't use function
+ pointers for special string cases. Each special case is itself
+ special and needs to call a function with its own prototype, so
+ better have dedicated code to handle it all.
+ * dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, dmioem.c, dmioem.h: Mark a few
+ pointers const.
+ * dmidecode.c, util.c, util.h: When dumping the DMI table to a
+ binary file, truncate the file first.
+ * dmidecode.c: Support Processor Family 2 field also when queried
+ with option --string.
+
+2008-10-27 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.6, second round.
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Add support for Processor Family 2 field
+ (DMI type 4).
+ * dmidecode.c: Add processor types "Turion 64 X2", "Core Solo",
+ "Core 2 Duo", "ESA/390 G6", "z/Architectur", "C7-M", "C7-D",
+ "C7" and "Eden" (DMI type 4).
+ * dmidecode.c: Fix typo in processor type "AMD29000" (DMI type 4).
+ * dmidecode.c: Add processor upgrade types "Socket S1",
+ "Socket AM2" and "Socket F (1207)" (DMI type 4).
+
+2008-10-26 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.6, first round.
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Byte-swap the first 3 fields of the UUID
+ (DMI type 1).
+ * dmidecode.c: Add chassis types "Blade" and "Blade Enclosure"
+ (DMI type 3).
+
+2008-10-26 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Simplify the handling and documentation
+ of mutually exclusive output format options.
+ * dmidecode.8: Document the binary dump file format.
+ * dmidecode.c: Don't display the source dump file name in quiet
+ mode.
+ * biosdecode.c, dmidecode.c, dmioem.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h,
+ ownership.c, types.h, util.c, vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h:
+ Mass coding-style change: add spaces around operators.
+ * vpddecode.c: Fix --quiet option.
+ * dmidecode.h, dmiopt.h: Pass version information to print
+ callback functions.
+ * dmidecode.c: Fix up invalid SMBIOS version.
+ * dmidecode.c: Handle base board information records of size 10
+ (DMI type 2).
+
+2008-10-25 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Limit indentation in smbios_decode and
+ legacy_decode.
+ * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c: Write binary dump to a compact file
+ rather than a sparse file.
+ * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: New option --from-dump, read
+ the DMI data from a binary file.
+ * dmidecode.8: Update the option --dump-bin, document the new
+ option --from-dump.
+
+2008-08-28 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Add missing colon to temperature probe label.
+ Patch from Alex Iribarren.
+
+2008-02-16 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * util.c, util.h: New helper function write_dump.
+ * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: New option --dump-bin, dump
+ the DMI data to a sparse binary file.
+ * dmidecode.8: Document the new option --dump-bin.
+ * Makefile, biosdecode.c, dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, dmioem.c,
+ dmioem.h, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h, ownership.c, util.c, util.h,
+ vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: Update copyright statements.
+ * dmidecode.c: Adjust the error message which is displayed when
+ the table is unreachable.
+
+2007-06-30 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * config.h: Add support for Solaris (x86 only, of course). Based
+ on a patch by Sun's Dan Mick, brought to my knowledge by
+ Attila Nagy.
+
+2007-06-27 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * Makefile: Fix the uninstall-man target.
+
+2007-06-07 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: If the SMBIOS entry point decoding fails (for
+ example due to a bad checksum), still try decoding the
+ encapsulated DMI entry point. Suggested by Luke Suchocki.
+ * dmidecode.c: Replace all occurrences of "KB" by the more
+ correct "kB".
+
+2007-03-16 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * vpddecode.c: Stop asking the user to report bad checksums,
+ unaligned records and the like. Such machines exist, too bad,
+ we have to live with it.
+
+2007-02-27 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * biosdecode.c: Fix a compilation error with non-C99 compilers.
+ Patch from Francois Revol.
+
+2007-02-26 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Fix an array overrun while decoding the system
+ event log status (DMI type 15).

+
+2007-02-16 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Do not print the BIOS base address and runtime size
+ if the base address is 0. This happens on IA-64 because there's
+ no BIOS.
+ * Makefile, README: Do not build biosdecode, ownership and
+ vpddecode on IA-64, as IA-64 systems have no BIOS. This was
+ quite tricky to keep both GNU make and BSD make happy, but it
+ seems that I finally succeeded.
+
+2007-02-13 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.5, second round.
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Decode new processor characteristics (multi-core,
+ multi-thread, 64-bit) (DMI type 4).
+ * dmidecode.c: Decode slot ID of AGP 8x and PCI Express slots (DMI
+ type 9).
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Fix the mask of 3 bitfield tests. This will let
+ the memory type of some systems be properly reported as SDRAM.
+ * dmidecode.c: Fix the AMD processors signature decoding.
+ * README: Minor edits.
+
+2007-02-12 Jens Elkner <elkner@linofee.org>
+
+ Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.5, first round.
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Add chassis types "CompactPCI" and "AdvancedTCA"
+ (DMI type 3).
+ * dmidecode.c: Add processor types "Turion 64",
+ "Dual-Core Opteron", "Athlon 64 X2", "Celeron D", "Pentium D"

+ "SATA Controller" and "SAS Controller" (DMI type 10).
+ * dmidecode.c: Add memory device form factor "FB-DIMM" and memory
+ device type "DDR2 FB-DIMM" (DMI type 17).
+
+2007-02-12 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmioem.c: Share the code between HP-specific types 209 and 221.
+ Both types are really the same, only the title is different.
+ * dmioem.c: Make the HP-specific types 209 and 221 output a bit
+ more verbose.
+ * dmidecode.c: Let --type decode OEM-specific entries when
+ possible.
+ * dmidecode.c: Include decoded OEM-specific entries in quiet mode
+ output (--quiet).
+ * dmidecode.c: Do not complain about truncated entries in quiet
+ mode.
+ * dmioem.c: Decode HP-specific type 204 entries in a safer way:
+ check the length before decoding, and don't assume that all
+ strings are provided in the same order as they are used.
+
+ Update to support Intel AP-485 (CPUID) revision 31 (was 28).
+
+ * dmidecode.c: New CPUID flag IA64.
+ * dmidecode.c: Fix the decoding of Intel extended family.
+
+2007-02-11 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmioem.c, dmioem.h: New.
+ * Makefile, dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, dmioem.c, dmioem.h: Move the
+ decoding of OEM-specific entries to a separate source file.
+ * dmidecode.c: DMI type 38 is tested by now.
+ * dmioem.c: The PCI function is typically represented as a single
+ digit.
+ * Makefile, dmiopt.c, vpdopt.c, util.h: Define an ARRAY_SIZE macro
+ which computes the size of a static array, and use it where
+ relevant.
+
+2007-02-11 John Cagle <jcagle@kernel.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Add support for 3 HP-specific entries: system/rack
+ locator (type 204), NIC MAC information (type 209) and NIC iSCSI
+ MAC information (type 221).
+
+2007-01-14 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * vpddecode.c: Fix a rare warning.
+ * biosdecode.c: Add support for the FJKEYINF entry point, which
+ contains data related to the "application panel" on Fujitsu
+ laptops.
+
+2006-05-23 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Fix a recently introduced compilation error with
+ non-C99 compilers.
+ * dmidecode.c: Check for short entries (less than 4 bytes), stop
+ with an error when one is encountered.
+
+2006-05-13 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * vpddecode.c, README: Drop the product name lookup table. It
+ was reported to be unreliable too many times, and was also
+ difficult to maintain.
+
+2006-05-10 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Don't cast from u8* to dmi_header*, else
+ architectures which do not support unaligned memory accesses
+ may break. Instead, copy the members individually. That's a
+ bit slower, but that's also safer and we only need to do it
+ once per DMI entry, so it's not time critical. So far, we
+ were using a trick to later work around the unaligned memory
+ access, but the compiler would still warn about the risk,
+ which is always confusing.
+ * config.h, types.h, README: Automatically enable the unaligned
+ memory access workaround on ia64.
+ * types.h: Inline U64. It makes sense per se and also lets us
+ get rid of a warning about U64 being unused.
+ * dmidecode.c: Detect EFI at run-time rather than compilation-
+ time. Based on an original patch from Matthew Garrett. This
+ will make x86 binaries work for both PC systems with BIOS and
+ Macintosh systems with EFI. Also prevent a possible, though
+ unlikely, NULL-pointer dereference in the EFI code.
+
+2006-02-25 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c: Fix typo reported by David Wilson (DMI case 3).
+
+2006-02-04 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * vpddecode.c: Update lookup table from revision 2006-01-31 of IBM
+ reference document (add product ID "7B").
+ * version.h: Set version to 2.8.
+
+2006-01-21 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+

+
+2006-01-20 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * vpddecode.c: Assume a constant length of 12 characters for the
+ "Default Flash Image File Name" entry. The 13th character never

+ meaning (unknown for now).
+
+2005-12-24 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * vpddecode.c: Scan for VPD records on 4-byte boundaries instead

+ is now uncertain.
+ * vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: New.
+ * Makefile, vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: Move the command line
+ handling of vpddecode to a separate source file.
+ * vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: Add option -s, --string. It

+ to handle the string option more efficiently.
+
+2005-09-13 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

+ * biosdecode.c, ownership.c, vpddecode.c: getopt_long() will never
+ return ':'.
+
+2005-08-04 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * README: Manual pages document the command line interface.
+ A discussion list exists for developers. Mmap is used on

+
+2005-06-17 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+ * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Add option -q, --quiet. It
