Subject: [PATCH 02/10] Goodbye CHANGELOG, welcome NEWS
The CHANGELOG file as it exists today is essentially redundant with
git log. It's not really user friendly, and duplicates the work on
the committer side.
Delete that file, and replace it with a more structured NEWS file,
listing only the most relevant changes in each version. The contents
would be pretty much the same as the release announcements.
This initial version covers most past releases.

-2008-11-23 Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
-
- * biosdecode.c: Stop using the inline keyword. It causes more

-
-2008-11-14 Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
-

-
- Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.6, fourth round.
-
- * dmidecode.c: Initial support for additional information entries

- "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 <jdelvare@suse.de>
-
- * dmidecode.c: Use binary search for dmi_processor_family, it's
- faster than linear search (DMI type 4).

- (DMI type 31).
-
-2008-10-31 Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
-

-
- * dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Don't use function

- * dmidecode.c: Adjust the error message which is displayed when
- the table is unreachable.
-
-2007-06-30 Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
-
- * 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 <jdelvare@suse.de>
-
- * Makefile: Fix the uninstall-man target.
-
-2007-06-07 Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
-
- * 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 <jdelvare@suse.de>
-
- * vpddecode.c: Stop asking the user to report bad checksums,
- unaligned records and the like. Such machines exist, too bad,

-
-2007-02-16 Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
-
- * 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 <jdelvare@suse.de>
-
- Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.5, second round.

-
-2007-02-12 Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
-
- * dmioem.c: Share the code between HP-specific types 209 and 221.

- possible.
- * dmidecode.c: Include decoded OEM-specific entries in quiet mode
- output (--quiet).
- * dmidecode.c: Do not complain about truncated entries in quiet

- 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.

- 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

- with an error when one is encountered.
-
-2006-05-13 Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
-
- * 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 <jdelvare@suse.de>
-
- * 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
-
- * dmidecode.c: Fix typo reported by David Wilson (DMI case 3).

- * version.h: Set version to 2.8.
-
-2006-01-21 Jean Delvare
-
- * vpddecode.c: The mysterious last character of xSeries records
- may be a BIOS revision. Display it as such when present and
- non zero, and ask users to report.
- * vpddecode.c: Adjust an error message.
- * dmidecode.8: Update the sample entry to match the new output
- format.
- * README: Improve the IA-64 specific section and the vpddecode
- tool description.
- * vpdopt.h: Add missing system header file include.
-
-2006-01-20 Jean Delvare
-
- * vpddecode.c: Assume a constant length of 12 characters for the
- "Default Flash Image File Name" entry. The 13th character never
- contained anything useful, so it probably has a different
- meaning (unknown for now).
-
-2005-12-24 Jean Delvare
-
- * vpddecode.c: Scan for VPD records on 4-byte boundaries instead
- of 16-byte boundaries. This is needed for some eServer xSeries
- 206. Still emit a warning if a VPD record is found not on a
- 16-byte boundary.
-
-2005-10-26 Jean Delvare
-
- * vpddecode.c: Add product ID "NR". Reported by Klaus Muth.

- --string is used without an argument.
- * vpddecode.8: Document the new -s, --string option.
- * dmidecode.8: List the four new string keywords.
- * vpddecode.c: Keep quiet when --string is used, even when no VPD
- record is found.
-
-2005-10-03 Jean Delvare
-
- * biosdecode.c: Fix a potential (but highly improbable) buffer
- overrun in the VPD record decoding.
- * biosdecode.c: Change the xSeries checksumming method to
- accommodate a strange xSeries 440 VPD record, as was done in
- vpddecode.c some weeks ago. Do not display the default flash
- image file name anymore, it's not so useful and the field length
- 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
- prints one selected VPD string instead of the regular output.
-
-2005-09-24 Jean Delvare
-
- * dmiopt.c: Fix incorrect header include. The strcasecmp function
- is defined in <strings.h>, not <string.h>. Reported by Petter
- Reinholdtsen.
-
-2005-09-14 Jean Delvare
-
- * dmidecode.h: New.
- * dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, Makefile: Export four specific
- decoding functions, make them suitable for external call.
- * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h, Makefile: Make it possible
- for --string to print decoded binary data rather than only
- DMI strings. Add four such string keywords.
- * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Modify the opt structure
- to handle the string option more efficiently.
-
-2005-09-13 Jean Delvare
-
- * vpddecode.c: Slightly change the xSeries checksumming method to
- accommodate a strange xSeries 440 VPD record. Also tweak the
- decoding of the "Default Flash Image File Name" entry. Thanks
- to Torsten Seemann for providing a test VPD record.
-
-2005-09-05 Jean Delvare
-
- * Makefile: Use -Wundef.

- and "76", update product ID "1Y").
- * dmiopt.c: Complain about unknown options again.
- * biosdecode.c, ownership.c, vpddecode.c: getopt_long() will never
- return ':'.
-
-2005-08-04 Jean Delvare
-
- * README: Manual pages document the command line interface.
- A discussion list exists for developers. Mmap is used on
- most systems, not just Linux.
- * version.h: Set version to 2.7.
-
-2005-08-02 Jean Delvare
-
- * dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Options --dump and --quiet are mutually
- exclusive.
-
-2005-06-23 Jean Delvare
-
- * dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Options --dump and --string are mutually
- exclusive.
-
-2005-06-22 Jean Delvare
-
- * dmiopt.c: Display the list of all valid type or string keywords
- when --type or --string, respectively, is used without an
- argument or with an invalid one.
- * dmidecode.8: Document the new -s, --string option. Update the
- -t, --type option documentation.
- * dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Add string keyword "bios-release-date",

- "Controller").
-
-2005-06-21 Jean Delvare
-
- * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Add option -s, --string. It

- count when --quiet is used.
-
-2005-06-17 Jean Delvare
-
- * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Add option -q, --quiet. It
- makes the output less verbose.
- * dmidecode.c: Suppress one level of indentation in the output,
- insert blank lines between records. This will hopefully make
- the output easier to read.
- * dmidecode.c: Hide table address and size when --type is used.
-
-2005-06-16 Jean Delvare
-
- * dmidecode.8: Document the new -t, --type option.
-
-2005-06-15 Jean Delvare
-
- * dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: New.
- * Makefile, dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Move the command line
- handling of dmidecode to a separate source file.
- * dmiopt.c: Define keywords to be used with --type (instead of
- numeric values).
-
-2005-06-14 Jean Delvare
-
- * dmidecode.c: Centralize the main exit point. This allows fixing
- a minor, recently introduced memory leak which was happening on
- error conditions.
-
-2005-06-13 Jean Delvare

- Bernd Krumboeck.
-
-2005-05-15 Jean Delvare
-
- * dmidecode.8, vpddecode.8: Document the new -u, --dump option.
-
- Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.4 (was 2.4
- preliminary). There is actually no difference between 2.4
- preliminary and 2.4 final.
-
- * dmidecode.c: Update the "System Management BIOS Reference
- Specification" version.
-
-2005-04-26 Jean Delvare
-
- * vpddecode.c: Add product ID "M1". Reported by Myke Olson.
- * vpddecode.c: Add option -u, --dump. It disables decoding of the
- VPD records, a raw dump is displayed instead. This option is
- mainly intended for debugging.
-
-2005-04-03 Jean Delvare
-
- * Makefile: Use variables for install and rm commands, so that these
- can be overridden by the caller.
-
-2005-03-25 Jean Delvare

+Version 3.1 (Tue May 23 2017)
+ - Support for SMBIOS 3.1.0 and 3.1.1. This includes new chassis types, new
+ processor family names, new processor family upgrade names, and new slot
+ types, as well as support of larger BIOS ROM sizes and cache sizes, and a
+ new structure type (43, TPM Device.)
+ - A new command line option to query OEM strings.
+ - All error messages are now printed on stderr (#47274, #48158.)
+ - Several bug fixes related to 64-bit entry points (#50037 and more.)
+ - Important bug fixes:
+ #46176 (Unexpected end of file error)
+ #46066 (Crash with SIGBUS)
+ - Various minor fixes, improvements and cleanups.
+
+Version 3.0 (Thu Sep 03 2015)
+ - Support for SMBIOS 3.0. This includes new chassis types, new
+ processor family names, new processor family upgrade names, new slot
+ types, and new memory device types.
+ - Support for the new 64-bit entry point (_SM3_) defined in SMBIOS 3.0.
+ - Support for the new kernel interface (as of Linux v4.2) as an
+ alternative to relying /dev/mem to access the entry point and DMI
+ table.
+ - Decoding of Acer-specific DMI type 170.
+ - Decoding of HP-specific DMI types 212, 219 and 233.
+ - Various minor fixes and output format cleanups.
+
+Version 2.12 (Wed Apr 17 2013)
+ - Support of the SMBIOS 2.8.0 specification.
+
+Version 2.11 (Wed Jan 19 2011)
+ - Support of the SMBIOS 2.7.0 specification:
+ - UEFI support
+ - Virtual machine flags in BIOS characteristics
+ - Limited support for the Management Controller Host Interface
+ - Various fixes that address stability.
+
+Version 2.10 (Sun Nov 23 2008)
+ - Support for Solaris (x86 only, of course).
+ - Possibility to dump the SMBIOS/DMI table to a small binary file
+ (option --dump-bin).
+ - Possibility to read the SMBIOS/DMI table from such binary files
+ (option --from-dump).
+ - Support for SMBIOS 2.6. This includes new chassis types, new
+ processor family names, new processor family upgrade names, bus
+ address for system slots, and a new entry type for on-board devices,
+ amongst many other minor changes.
+ - Support for DMI entry type 31 (Boot integrity services).
+ - Many processor family names taken from the CIM Schema document.
+ - (vpddecode) No longer ask users to report broken records.
+ - (vpddecode) Fix --quiet option.
+
+Version 2.9 (Mon Feb 26 2007)
+ - Support of the SMBIOS 2.5 specification. It adds many enumerated
+ values for recent hardware, as well as CPU core and thread count
+ reporting.
+ - Decoding of 3 HP-specific entries. More vendor-specific entries can
+ be supported later if vendors contribute code or documentation.
+ - Run-time detection of EFI, so that a single binary can support
+ Intel-based Macintosh machines and regular x86 machines.
+ - Better IA-64 support.
+ - Fixes to the decoding of individual fields, including the CPU
+ signature of recent CPU models.
+ - (biosdecode) Support of the FJKEYINF entry point type (for Fujitsu laptops).
+ - (vpddecode) The product name look-up table was dropped. It was unreliable
+ and a burden to maintain.
+ - biosdecode, ownership and vpddecode are no longer built on IA-64.
+
+Version 2.8 (Sat Feb 04 2006)
+ - Option --string has four additional keywords available:
+ system-uuid, chassis-type, processor-family and processor-frequency.
+ These needed additional work because, technically speaking, they are
+ not DMI strings.
+ - IPMI interface type SSIF was added. This is a new interface type
+ defined by IPMI 2.0.
+ - (vpddecode) New --string option, much similar in spirit to
+ dmidecode's. Available keywords are bios-build-id, box-serial-number,
+ motherboard-serial-number, machine-type-model and bios-release-date.
+ - (vpddecode) 9 product names were added to the lookup table.
+ - A few bug fixes, cleanups and minor improvements all around the place.
+
+Version 2.7 (Thu Aug 04 2005)
+ - New command line interface. For example, it is now possible to limit
+ the output of dmidecode to a given DMI type, or to extract a single
+ string from the DMI table. The documentation has been updated
+ accordingly.
+ - The default output of dmidecode was slightly modified to be more
+ easily readable by humans. This might break tools parsing its output.
+ Such tools may benefit from the new command line interface, although
+ this interface shouldn't be considered stable until version 2.8.
+ - (vpddecode) New command line interface.
+ - (vpddecode) 6 product names were added.
+
+Version 2.6 (Mon Feb 28 2005)
+ - Fixes a 2 GB memory limit regression.
+ - Basic command-line handling.
+ - BeOS and Cygwin support.
+
+Version 2.5 (Thu Nov 11 2004)
+ - Code cleanups.
+ - Compatibility fixes.
+ - Documentation updates.
+
+Version 2.4 (Fri Mar 19 2004)
+ - Manual pages added.
+ - (vpddecode) Many improvements.
