<h2>
Changes for this release (earliest changes last, recent changes first)
</h2>
<ul>
<li>disabled generation of txtmode ROM images for now (they will be back again in the next release)</li>
<li>coreboot-libre: delete unused code (reduce size of src archive)</li>
<li>Flashing guides: make them more friendly to colourblind people</li>
<li>
docs/gnulinux/encrypted_*.html: Remove mention of password length
- it was arbitrary and pointless.
</li>
<li>docs/maintain/index.html: Finish the guide</li>
<li>
scripts/download/coreboot: use diffs included in libreboot, not external gerrit cherry-picks
- review.coreboot.org (gerrit) being down no longer kills
libreboot (backup mirrors of the master repository exist)
</li>
<li>docs/install/bbb_setup.html: Add info about wp/hold and pinouts</li>
<li>docs/index.html: improve the description of libreboot</li>

<li>docs/hcl/t500.html: Add screen compatibility report (TODO: fix incompatible screens)</li>
<li>
Update coreboot(again) + merge GM45 hybrid GPU patches
- means that T400/T500 with the ATI+Intel hybrid GPU setup
will work (ATI disabled, Intel permanently enabled).
power_on_after_fail nvram option added to all GM45 boards,
defaulting to No, so that plugging it AC doesn't boot up
the system against the users will. Net20DC is now the default
debug dongle on all boards (compatible with BBB).
