## Changes for this release (latest changes first, earliest changes last)

[link]

- Updated coreboot (git commit 8ffc085e1affaabbe3dca8ac6a89346b71dfc02e), the latest at the time of writing.
- Updated SeaBIOS (git commit 67d1fbef0f630e1e823f137d1bae7fa5790bcf4e), the latest at the time of writing.
- Updated Flashrom (svn revision 1850), the latest at the time of writing.
- Updated GRUB (git commit 9a67e1ac8e92cd0b7521c75a734fcaf2e58523ad), the latest at the time of writing.
- Cleaned up the documentation, removed unneeded files.
- ec/lenovo/h8 (x60/x60s/x60t/t60): Enable wifi/bluetooth/wwan/touchpad/trackpoint by default.
- Documentation: Updated list of T60 LCDs (Samsung LTN150XG 15" XGA listed as non-working).
- builddeps-coreboot: Don’t build libpayload (not needed. This was leftover by mistake, when trying out the TINT payload).
- Replaced most diff files (patches) for coreboot with gerrit checkouts (cherry-pick).
- Documentation: x60_security.html and t60_security.html: added links to info about the ethernet controller (Intel 82573).
- Documentation: x60_security.html and t60_security.html: added notes about DMA and the docking station.
- Documentation: configuring_parabola.html: basic post-install steps for Parabola GNU+Linux (helpful, since libreboot development is being moved to Parabola at the time of writing).
- builddeps-coreboot: use ‘make crossgcc-i386’ instead of ‘make crossgcc’. Libreboot only targets x86 at the time of writing.
- ROM images no longer include SeaBIOS. Instead, the user adds it afterwards. Documentation and scripts updated.
- docs/images/encrypted_parabola.html: Notes about linux-libre-grsec
- Documentation: encrypted_parabola.html: add tutorial for encrypted Parabola GNU+Linux installation.
- Documentation: added more info about wifi chipsets
