Hi,
qemu soft freeze for 2.4 is just around the corner, time to think about the seabios release which should be included there.
A new release from master isn't even planned yet[1], so I think we should go for a 1.8.2 stable release. So, if there are any fixes which should be cherry-picked into stable please speak up now. So far my list is pretty short:
87f848e vga: rework virtio-vga support
cheers, Gerd
[1] It probably makes sense to plan once the tpm support merge is complete.

For the next master release: we've been working with Marcel on properly formatting OFW devpaths in QEMU, for the "bootorder" fw_cfg file, for booting off devices behind a PXB. Patches are on qemu-devel (meaning they should be okay for 2.4). I have patches for OVMF and Marcel is looking into SeaBIOS. So, I think support for these devpaths too should be included in the next master release of SeaBIOS.
Thanks Laszlo
Hi Gerd,
I would like to see 624e812 build: Support "make VERSION=xyz" to override the default build version
in 1.8.2.
cheers, lynxis
Hi,
should be cherry-picked into stable please speak up now. So far my list is pretty short:
Looked through the log. The leal instruction and ahci max-ports fixes are worth having too I think. So I have this list now:
nilsson kraxel ~/projects/seabios (1.8-stable)# git log --oneline rel-1.8.1.. eb3677a vga: rework virtio-vga support 33d4d4f build: Support "make VERSION=xyz" to override the default build version dbd4a87 ahci: Ignore max_ports. 42f6019 vgabios: Emulate "leal" instruction c5fa0c5 vgabios: Add config option for assembler fixups
cheers, Gerd

I think "smm: ignore bits 16,18-31 of SMM revision ID" (92f9b918) should also be considered.
The release plan sounds good to me.

Makes sense indeed, picked it up. Updated public 1.8-stable branch. I plan to tag 1.8.2 tomorrow.
cheers, Gerd

I looked a little further. If 799b20b0 is picked up then I think the fix in f24eb2f8 (just pushed) makes sense as well. Also, 18449686 looks like a straight forward bug fix.
What do you think about 251e2638 + 3b9b9f24 ? These work around the Windows Vista (and possibly later) hangs in the vgabios with old 16-bit apps (the "skifree" problem).

Yes. (btw: picked 799b20b0 to make the leal fix apply without conflicts).
Also, 18449686 looks like a straight forward bug fix.
Added too.

Hmm, not sure. Feeling a bit nervous, but maybe I'm overcautious ...
