----------------------------------------
+25 July 2013. Summary of changes for version 20130725:
+
+1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
+
+Fixed a problem with the DerefOf operator where references to FieldUnits
+and BufferFields incorrectly returned the parent object, not the actual
+value of the object. After this change, a dereference of a FieldUnit
+reference results in a read operation on the field to get the value, and
+likewise, the appropriate BufferField value is extracted from the target
+buffer.
+
+Fixed a problem where the _WAK method could cause a fault under these
+circumstances: 1) Interpreter slack mode was not enabled, and 2) the _WAK
+method returned no value. The problem is rarely seen because most kernels
+run ACPICA in slack mode.
+
+For the DerefOf operator, a fatal error now results if an attempt is made
+to dereference a reference (created by the Index operator) to a NULL
+package element. Provides compatibility with other ACPI implementations,
+and this behavior will be added to a future version of the ACPI
+specification.
+
+The ACPI Power Management Timer (defined in the FADT) is now optional.
+This provides compatibility with other ACPI implementations and will
+appear in the next version of the ACPI specification. If there is no PM
+Timer on the platform, AcpiGetTimer returns AE_SUPPORT. An address of
+zero in the FADT indicates no PM timer.
+
+Implemented a new interface for _OSI support, AcpiUpdateInterfaces. This
+allows the host to globally enable/disable all vendor strings, all
+feature strings, or both. Intended to be primarily used for debugging
+purposes only. Lv Zheng.
+
+Expose the collected _OSI data to the host via a global variable. This
+data tracks the highest level vendor ID that has been invoked by the BIOS
+so that the host (and potentially ACPICA itself) can change behaviors
+based upon the age of the BIOS.
+
+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: 96.2K Code, 27.1K Data, 123.3K Total
+ Debug Version: 184.4K Code, 76.8K Data, 261.2K Total
+ Previous Release:
+ Non-Debug Version: 95.9K Code, 26.9K Data, 122.8K Total
+ Debug Version: 184.1K Code, 76.7K Data, 260.8K Total
+
+
+2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
+
+iASL: Created the following enhancements for the -so option (create
+offset table):
+1)Add offsets for the last nameseg in each namepath for every supported
+object type
+2)Add support for Processor, Device, Thermal Zone, and Scope objects
+3)Add the actual AML opcode for the parent object of every supported
+object type
+4)Add support for the ZERO/ONE/ONES AML opcodes for integer objects
+
+Disassembler: Emit all unresolved external symbols in a single block.
+These are external references to control methods that could not be
+resolved, and thus, the disassembler had to make a guess at the number of
+arguments to parse.
+
+iASL: The argument to the -T option (create table template) is now
+optional. If not specified, the default table is a DSDT, typically the
+most common case.
