File limine.changes of Package limine
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Aug 30 16:03:54 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.6.5:
* The Limine project has moved its home to Codeberg.
* Nyu-EFI was rebranded to PicoEFI.
* Minor build system improvements and subproject bumps.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Aug 16 11:40:33 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.6.1:
* EFI chainloading: Make EFI device path of loaded image relative to
the loaded image device handle. This now complies with the EFI
specification, and, amongst others, it fixes chainloading Shim.
* Miscellaneous build system changes and improvements.
* Do not disable linker relaxations for LoongArch64.
* `limine` host tool: Add check to ensure that a provided GPT BIOS
partition is at least 32KiB in size.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Aug 5 22:41:41 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.5.3:
* Miscellaneous build system fixes, mainly to sort out possible issues
introduced by 9.5.2.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Aug 1 12:34:02 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.5.2:
* Revert change that moved to `nm` from `objdump` for generating the
symbol table, as that broke section-specific symbol dumps and caused
BIOS stage 2 to be bloated with the full symbol table.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jul 29 19:50:07 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.5.1:
* Unbreak build using ld.gold as linker.
* Miscellaneous build system updates and improvements.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jul 15 19:10:41 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.5.0:
* protocols/efi: Hybridise loading mechanism with old memory-device
based approach. This may work around the redundant requirement that
EFI applications be signed, and it may fix certain issues created
when the chainload mechanism was changed in 9.0.1.
* `limine` host tool: Fix some mismatched printf format specifiers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Jul 10 16:04:05 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.4.0:
* BLI: Implement `LoaderTimeInitUSec` and `LoaderTimeExecUSec`.
These are variables used by `systemd-analyze` and are useful for boot
performance metrics.
* Limine boot protocol: Add bootloader performance feature.
This feature provides the same information as the new Boot Loader
Interface variables, but encoded in a nicer way for Limine protocol
executables.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Jun 21 09:31:44 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.3.4:
* ELF: Make an optimisation related to skipping scanning of .bss
regions for finding of structures in the loaded image (for Limine
protocol structures or otherwise) less overeager as that could break
in certain cases.
* SMP: On x86, ensure that the value of IA32_APIC_BASE is the same on
the APs as it is on the BSP.
* PMM: Mark EfiLoader{Code,Data} regions as bootloader reclaimable
rather than reserved memory, as for certain protocols, like the
Limine boot protocol, reserved memory is unmapped at runtime, while
these regions may contain hot data that is still needed, like Limine
bootloader memory stacks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 27 18:16:55 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.3.3:
* Reinstate the limit for scanned drives to 0xf0. This is due to a
report of int 13h hangs when used on drives >=0xf0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 23 12:23:26 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.3.2:
* Mark EfiBootServices{Code,Data} memory regions as bootloader
reclaimable instead of usable free memory
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 7 15:19:40 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.3.0:
* Add optional support for the 64-bit x86-64 boot protocol for Linux.
* Fix away some ungraceful handling of out-of-memory situations when
loading files using the Linux boot protocol.
* Improve performance and memory usage of loading modules for the
Linux boot protocol.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Apr 19 13:06:44 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.2.3:
* Fix issues introduced by the stb_image fix introduced in 9.2.1 which
could cause hangs or crashes when certain wallpaper images are used.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 31 12:30:21 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.2.2:
* Fixes and workarounds in order to make multiboot2 more
resilient when booting specific kernels such as Xen.
* Avoid mistakenly allocating more memory than necessary when
creating the volume index.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Mar 25 23:35:00 UTC 2025 - Marvin Friedrich <contact@marvinf.com>
- Update to 9.2.1:
* Fix potential buffer overflow bug with stb_image support code.
* Print the name of unresolved symbols on panic.
* Dynamically allocate volume index instead of relying on a hard coded
limit and a fixed allocation.
