 ----------------------------------------
+
+24 July 2014. Summary of changes for version 20140724: 
+
+This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads
+
+The ACPI 5.1 specification has been released and is available at: 
+http://uefi.org/specs/access
+
+
+0) ACPI 5.1 support in ACPICA:
+
+ACPI 5.1 is fully supported in ACPICA as of this release.
+
+New predefined names. Support includes iASL and runtime ACPICA 
+validation.
+    _CCA (Cache Coherency Attribute).
+    _DSD (Device-Specific Data). David Box.
+
+Modifications to existing ACPI tables. Support includes headers, iASL 
+Data Table compiler, disassembler, and the template generator.
+    FADT - New fields and flags. Graeme Gregory.
+    GTDT - One new subtable and new fields. Tomasz Nowicki.
+    MADT - Two new subtables. Tomasz Nowicki.
+    PCCT - One new subtable.
+
+Miscellaneous.
+    New notification type for System Resource Affinity change events.
+
+
+1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
+
+Fixed a regression introduced in 20140627 where a fault can happen during 
+the deletion of Alias AML namespace objects. The problem affected both 
+the core ACPICA and the ACPICA tools including iASL and AcpiExec.
+
+Implemented a new GPE public interface, AcpiMarkGpeForWake. Provides a 
+simple mechanism to enable wake GPEs that have no associated handler or 
+control method. Rafael Wysocki.
+
+Updated the AcpiEnableGpe interface to disallow the enable if there is no 
+handler or control method associated with the particular GPE. This will 
+help avoid meaningless GPEs and even GPE floods. Rafael Wysocki.
+
+Updated GPE handling and dispatch by disabling the GPE before clearing 
+the status bit for edge-triggered GPEs. Lv Zheng.
+
+Added Timer() support to the AML Debug object. The current timer value is 
+now displayed with each invocation of (Store to) the debug object to 
+enable simple generation of execution times for AML code (method 
+execution for example.) ACPICA BZ 1093.
+
+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:  98.7K Code, 27.3K Data, 126.0K Total
+    Debug Version:     192.0K Code, 79.7K Data, 271.7K Total
+  Previous Release:
+    Non-Debug Version:  98.7K Code, 27.2K Data, 125.9K Total
+    Debug Version:     191.7K Code, 79.6K Data, 271.3K Total
+
+
+2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
+
+Fixed an issue with the recently added local printf implementation, 
+concerning width/precision specifiers that could cause incorrect output. 
+Lv Zheng. ACPICA BZ 1094.
+
+Disassembler: Added support to detect buffers that contain UUIDs and 
+disassemble them to an invocation of the ToUUID operator. Also emit 
+commented descriptions of known ACPI-related UUIDs.
+
+AcpiHelp: Added support to display known ACPI-related UUIDs. New option, 
+-u. Adds three new files. 
+
+iASL: Update table compiler and disassembler for DMAR table changes that 
+were introduced in September 2013. With assistance by David Woodhouse.
