+19 January 2017. Summary of changes for version 20170119:
+
+This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads
+
+1) General ACPICA software:
+
+Entire source code base: Added the 2017 copyright to all source code
+legal/licensing module headers and utility/tool signons. This includes
+the standard Linux dual-license header. This affects virtually every file
+in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, all ACPICA utilities, and
+the ACPICA test suite.
+
+
+2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
+
+iASL: Removed/fixed an inadvertent remark when a method argument
+containing a reference is used as a target operand within the method (and
+never used as a simple argument), as in the example below. Jeffrey Hugo.
+
+ dsdt.asl 1507: Store(0x1, Arg0)
+ Remark 2146 - ^ Method Argument is never used (Arg0)
+
+All tools: Removed the bit width of the compiler that generated the tool
+from the common signon for all user space tools. This proved to be
+confusing and unnecessary. This includes similar removal of HARDWARE_NAME
+from the generic makefiles (Thomas Petazzoni). Example below.
+
+ Old:
+ ASL+ Optimizing Compiler version 20170119-32
+ ASL+ Optimizing Compiler version 20170119-64
+
+ New:
+ ASL+ Optimizing Compiler version 20170119
