bits-327
========

- Check MSR_SMI_COUNT (0x34) in the SMI test.

- Detect Intel Atom processors

- Add initial MSR consistency check for Atom

- Check package C2 residency on Sandy Bridge

- Use GRUB's "export" command to simplify use of common variables in many
  configuration scripts.

- Fix typo in install-mbr invocation in INSTALL.txt: it should use a disk
  device, not a partition device.  Thanks to "hans Bogert, van den" for the
  report.

- Ship COPYING in the boot/ directory of the .zip distribution, not just in the
  source code provided in boot/src/bits-*.tar.gz

- Fix script error that impacted availability of C-state residency tests on
  some systems.

bits-316
========

- Build process improvements, particularly for builds from release tarballs
  rather than from the git repository.

- Build with -fno-strict-aliasing; otherwise recent GCC warns about our various
  exciting pointer manipulations.

bits-310
========

- Documentation updates.

- Produce a GRUB tarball by hand, rather than using make dist.  In the GRUB
  snapshot we use (revno 2587), make dist omits various files essential to the
  build, such as util/import_gcry.py.  As a temporary workaround, generate the
  GRUB tarball by hand, by making maintainer-clean and then tarring up the GRUB
  source directory.

bits-307
========

- Add power management test suite for Sandy Bridge microarchitecture.
    
- Make build scripts do more autodetection to avoid hardcoding paths to the
  BITS source and GRUB2 source in $HOME.  Look for GRUB2 source at ../grub
  relative to the BITS source directory, and support specifying an explicit
  path via the grub_src environment variable.

- Ship NEWS.txt in the BITS distribution so it ends up on BITS boot media.

bits-300
========

- Change the syslinux configuration file to use the "append" command rather
  than the "initrd" command, for compatibility with syslinux releases older
  than 3.71.  Thanks to Darrick Wong for the report.

- Improvements to the Linux installation instructions for constructing a USB
  disk.


bits-295
========

- Initial public release of BITS.
