-24 July 2014. Summary of changes for version 20140724: 
+1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
 
-This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads
+Fixed a problem related to the internal use of the Timer() operator where 
+a 64-bit divide could cause an attempted link to a double-precision math 
+library. This divide is not actually necessary, so the code was 
+restructured to eliminate it. Lv Zheng.
+
+ACPI 5.1: Added support for the runtime validation of the _DSD package 
+(similar to the iASL support).
+
+ACPI 5.1/Headers: Added support for the GICC affinity subtable to the 
+SRAT table. Hanjun Guo <hanjun.guo@linaro.org>.
+
+Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 
+acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The 
+debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 
+has a much larger code and data size.
+
+  Current Release:
+    Non-Debug Version:  98.8K Code, 27.3K Data, 126.1K Total
+    Debug Version:     192.1K Code, 79.8K Data, 271.9K Total
+  Previous Release:
+    Non-Debug Version:  98.7K Code, 27.3K Data, 126.0K Total1
+    Debug Version:     192.0K Code, 79.7K Data, 271.7K Total
+
+2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
+
+AcpiExec: Fixed a problem on unix systems where the original terminal 
+state was not always properly restored upon exit. Seen when using the -v 
+option. ACPICA BZ 1104.
+
+iASL: Fixed a problem with the validation of the ranges/length within the 
+Memory24 resource descriptor. There was a boundary condition when the 
+range was equal to the (length -1) caused by the fact that these values 
+are defined in 256-byte blocks, not bytes. ACPICA BZ 1098
+
+Disassembler: Fixed a problem with the GpioInt descriptor interrupt polarity 
+flags. The flags are actually 2 bits, not 1, and the "ActiveBoth" keyword is 
+now supported properly.
+
+ACPI 5.1: Added the GICC affinity subtable to the SRAT table. Supported 
+in the disassembler, data table compiler, and table template generator.
+
+iASL: Added a requirement for Device() objects that one of either a _HID 
+or _ADR must exist within the scope of a Device, as per the ACPI 
+specification. Remove a similar requirement that was incorrectly in place 
+for the _DSD object.
+
+iASL: Added error detection for illegal named references within control 
+methods that would cause runtime failures. Now trapped as errors are: 1) 
+References to objects within a non-parent control method. 2) Forward 
+references (within a method) -- for control methods, AML interpreters use 
+a one-pass parse of control methods. ACPICA BZ 1008.
+
+iASL: Added error checking for dependencies related to the _PSx power 
+methods. ACPICA BZ 1029.
+1) For _PS0, one of these must exist within the same scope: _PS1, _PS2, 
+_PS3.
+2) For _PS1, _PS2, and PS3: A _PS0 object must exist within the same 
+scope.
+
+iASL and table compiler: Cleanup miscellaneous memory leaks by fully 
+deploying the existing object and string caches and adding new caches for 
+the table compiler.
+
+iASL: Split the huge parser source file into multiple subfiles to improve 
+manageability. Generation now requires the M4 macro preprocessor, which 
+is part of the Bison distribution on both unix and windows platforms.
+
+AcpiSrc: Fixed and removed all extraneous warnings generated during 
+entire ACPICA source code scan and/or conversion.
