backgrounds/fonts (not useful anymore, now that GRUB is in
text-mode).
- Added resources/utilities/i945-pwm/ (from
git://git.mtjm.eu/i945-pwm), for debugging acpi brightness on i945
machines.
- Added instructions for it in builddeps, builddeps-i945pwm,
builddeb and cleandeps
- 'build' script: removed the parts that generated sha512sum manifests
(not needed, since release tarballs are GPG-signed)

directory (not needed anymore, since _meta will be hosted in git)
- Updated ../docs/index.html#build_meta (and other parts of
documentation) to accomodate this change.

../docs/index.html#rom
- 'build' script: removed the parts that generated libreboot_bin and
added them to a new script: 'build-release'

above.

and builddeb-bucts scripts (assuming that the user has it is a
really bad idea).

need to re-build bucts and/or flashrom before flashing a ROM image.
- build-release: flashrom, nvramtool, cbfstool and bucts are no longer
provided pre-compiled in binary archives, and are now in source form
only. (to maximize distro compatibility).
- Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/encrypted_trisquel.html showing
how to setup a fully encrypted Trisquel installation (including
/boot) and boot it from the GRUB payload.
- 'build' script: replaced grub.elf assembly instructons, it's now

- Deleted unused README and COPYING file from main directory
- Removed some rm -rf .git* instructions from the get* scripts and
moved them to build-release script
- Split up default grub.cfg into 6 parts:
extra/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg} and
menuentries/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg}
- buildrom-withgrub script uses these to generate the correct
grub.cfg for each type of configuration.
- grub_memdisk.cfg (used inside grub.elf) now only loads grub.cfg from
cbfs. It no longer enables serial output or sets
prefix. (menuentries/common.cfg does instead)
- resources/grub/config/extra/common.cfg, added:
- insmod instructions to load those modules: nativedisk, ehci, ohci,
uhci, usb, usbserial_pl2303, usbserial_ftdi, usbserial_usbdebug
- set prefix=(memdisk)/boot/grub

- gfxpayload=keep
- terminal_output --append gfxterm

debian-installer (Trisquel net install) to
../docs/howtos/grub_boot_installer.html
