- <li>X200 whitelist modified to include X200S and X200 Tablet</li>
- </ul>
- </li>

- <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

- debug dongle on all boards (compatible with BBB).

- This is a bug fix release based on r20150124. It contains a few small changes:

- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>docs/release.html Add DMP vortex86ex to list of candidates.</li>
- <li>docs/release.html Add ThinkPad X201 to list of candidates.</li>
- <li>New links added to docs/security/x60_security and docs/security/t60_security</li>

- <li>Documentation: major cleanup (better structure, easier to find things)</li>
- <li>
- docs/release.html: Remove Acer CB5 from list of future candidates.
- <ul>
- <li>
- Too many issues. Chromebooks are crippled (soldered RAM/storage/wifi)
- and have too many usability issues for the libreboot project.
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>docs/gnulinux/grub_cbfs.html Major cleanup. Usability improvements.</li>
- <li>hocs/gnulinux/encrypted_trisquel.html: Fixed mistakes/typos. General improvements</li>
- <li>
- flash (flashrom script): remove boardmismatch=force
- <ul>
- <li>
- This was put there before for users upgrading from libreboot r5
- to r6, but also allows the user to flash the wrong image. For
- example, the user could flash a T60 image on an X60, thus
- bricking the system. It's almost certain that most people
- have upgraded by now, so remove this potentially dangerous
- option.
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>Documentation: update compatibility list for X60T LCD panels.</li>
- <li>docs/release.html: add note about X60 Tablet board in X60/X60s</li>

- The "Parse" options read ./isolinux/isolinux.cfg on a CD or USB,
- and automatically converts it to a grub config and switches to the boot menu of that distro.
- This makes booting ISOs *much* easier than before.
