[announce] flashrom 1.0.1-rc2

Hey folks, so here's another RC for flashrom 1.0.1. Single change since RC1: * a3db7ed5 Fix erasing of unaligned regions This never worked correctly from the beginning. We completely erased every block that touched an included layout region. Now, we restore surrounding data in case a block expands beyond the region. Again, please test. If you don't use Git, you can find a tarball here: https://review.coreboot.org/cgit/flashrom.git/snapshot/flashrom-1.0.1-rc2.t… If there is no further issue, the release is due next week. Best regards, Nico

Hi flashrom fellows, I've just tagged `v1.0.1-rc1`. This is only a bug-fix release, obviously the first on our 1.0.x branch. The latest commit is rather new, so please test! Especially your layout use cases. During the past year, we've gathered a total of 6 fixes! Namely: * 6b9e934f linux_spi: Reduce maximum read chunksize Improves compatibility with older Linux kernels that interpreted the interface differently. * 30c4cecd Makefile: Disable `-Werror=deprecated-declarations` on release branch Just to be able to compile the 1.0.x branch on newer systems. * 5639af64 linux_spi: Hardcode default spispeed of 2MHz Default speed of kernel drivers isn't always sane (any more). * 993e162d dediprog: Fix small, unaligned reads An actual bug, discovered during experiments with arbitrary layouts. * ec8b8a7f board_enable.c: Fix dmi_match string for ThinkPad X201 Probably just wasn't tested before. * 69f96f60 Fix verification with sparse layouts A regression that sneaked into flashrom-1.0: When verifying the whole flash after a partial write with a sparse layout (i.e. a layout whose regions don't cover the whole chip), flashrom tried to verify against the wrong data and failed. Again, please test. If you don't use Git, you can find a tarball here: https://review.coreboot.org/cgit/flashrom.git/snapshot/flashrom-1.0.1-rc1.t… It still passes all my local build tests, see below for a full list.
