| 71) ACPICA Core Subsystem:
8
9Implemented a new mechanism to allow host device drivers to check for address
10range conflicts with ACPI Operation Regions. Both SystemMemory and SystemIO
11address spaces are supported. A new external interface, AcpiCheckAddressRange,
12allows drivers to check an address range against the ACPI namespace. See the
13ACPICA reference for additional details. Adds one new file,
14utilities/utaddress.c. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
15
16Fixed several issues with the ACPI 5.0 FADT support: Add the sleep Control and
17Status registers, update the ACPI 5.0 flags, and update internal data
18structures to handle an FADT larger than 256 bytes. The size of the ACPI 5.0
19FADT is 268 bytes.
20
21Updated all ACPICA copyrights and signons to 2012. Added the 2012 copyright to
22all module headers and signons, including the standard Linux header. This
23affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, and
24all ACPICA utilities.
25
26Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent
27acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug
28version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much
29larger code and data size.

392) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
40
41Disassembler: fixed a problem with the automatic resource tag generation
42support. Fixes a problem where the resource tags are inadvertently not
43constructed if the table being disassembled contains external references to
44control methods. Moved the actual construction of the tags to after the final
45namespace is constructed (after 2nd parse is invoked due to external control
46method references.) ACPICA BZ 941.
47
48Table Compiler: Make all "generic" operators caseless. These are the operators
49like UINT8, String, etc. Making these caseless improves ease-of-use. ACPICA BZ
50934.
