23 January 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090123:
This release is available at www.acpica.org/downloads.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Added the 2009 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects=20
virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, the iASL compiler, and=20
the tools/utilities.
Implemented a change to allow the host to override any ACPI table, includin=
g dynamically loaded tables. Previously, only the DSDT could be replaced by=
the host. With this change, the AcpiOsTableOverride interface is called fo=
r each table found in the RSDT/XSDT during ACPICA initialization, and also =
whenever a table is dynamically loaded via the AML Load operator.
Updated FADT flag definitions, especially the Boot Architecture flags.
Debugger: For the Find command, automatically pad the input ACPI name with =
underscores if the name is shorter than 4 characters. This enables a match =
with the actual namespace entry which is itself padded with underscores.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpi=
ca.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The debug =
version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a muc=
h larger code and data size.

Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 82.3K Code, 17.5K Data, 99.8K Total
Debug Version: 157.3K Code, 49.8K Data, 207.1K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Fix build error under Bison-2.4.
Dissasembler: Enhanced FADT support. Added decoding of the Boot Architectur=
e flags. Now decode all flags, regardless of the FADT version. Flag output =
includes the FADT version which first defined each flag.
The iASL -g option now dumps the RSDT to a file (in addition to the FADT an=
d DSDT). Windows only.
