Release notes for blob-2.0.4
============================

This is blob-2.0.4 a minor upgrade to blob-2.0.3 mainly meant as a
bugfix release.

What's new?
-----------

  This should allow LARTs to boot with a ramdisk again.
- Fixed some include files.

Release notes for blob-2.0.3
============================

This is blob-2.0.3, the successor to blob-1.0.8-pre2. There have been
a couple of other versions between 1.0.8-pre2 and 2.0.3, but those
were never "officially" released from the blob homepage:

- 2.0.0: never released snapshot that implemented run-from-ram but was
  never tested.
- 2.0.1: released by Wookey. basically a cleaned version of 2.0.0.
- 2.0.2: also released by Wookey. fixed a couple of bugs in 2.0.1.

To avoid confusion, we decided to name this release blob-2.0.3.


What's new?
-----------

- Support for NESA, SHANNON (aka TuxScreen), and CreditLART platforms
- Updates for PLEB
- Ability to write the flash (not on all platforms, read on)
- Lots of cleanups
- Automatic memory detection
- Kernel parameter passing
