[RFC] flashrom 0.9.4 plans
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 24 Jul '11

24 Jul '11

Hi, there are so many features I wanted to have in flashrom 0.9.4, but delaying the release further is not going to help anyone. Stefan Tauner probably has a few odd fixes in his queue, and I'm trying to find an acceptable fix for a segfault, and to spot the logic inversion which makes the write failure recovery code spit out the wrong message. I found a (corruption) bug in ICH IDSEL handling, need to post that fix and get it tested. Anything else we need for 0.9.4? Do we have any other unmerged bugfixes? Doc fixes? The man page is missing some features. Regards, Carl-Daniel -- http://www.hailfinger.org/
