flashrom/1.2.1

This is an archived release notes page. For the release notes of the latest stable release please see here.

1.2.1 is so far our most important point release. Where 1.2 is still used in current OS distributions, the compatibility updates for newer libraries are mandatory. Especially the support for PCI-based drivers with an up-to-date libpci requires 1.2.1.

Changes since 1.2

The more noteworthy changes:

• 5feb8cdb6ff4 Fixed our strndup() implementation for Windows.
• a8c0b68199c5 Fixed compatibility with some J-Link programmers.
• 595c5d017402 Fixed the linux_mtd driver in case libc would buffer I/O for the character device file.
• 298ac33bc495 and 380090faffcb fixed the way we use libpci to discover devices. The problem became visible when flashrom was linked with newer versions of libpci.
• 1900e1d5d39d Replaced references to the abandoned freenode IRC channel.
• 7cb43957c5fe Increased timeouts in the driver for Intel platforms. This is necessary in case the ME is concurrently accessing the flash.
