*** Release 7.0.3 ***
Noteworthy changes compared to the previous release, 7.0.2:
Bug fixes:
- multiboot2 protocol: Do not panic if there is a ENTRY_ADDRESS_EFI64
tag, but there is a valid alternatve entry point. This further aligns
our behaviour with GRUB2.
Miscellaneous:
- Terminal: Significantly improve serial and fallback UEFI console's
rendition (especially colour palettes).
- Serial: Add a baud rate config setting for Limine's BIOS version.

*** Release 7.0.2 ***
Noteworthy changes compared to the previous release, 7.0.1:
Bug fixes:
- Fix a cosmetic bug in the menu where, when the editor was disabled,
the controls showed "ENTER Expand" even for boot entries instead of
only for menu directories.
Miscellaneous:
- Exclusively use git for obtaining dependencies in "bootstrap" script.
2024-01-22 mintsuki <[email protected]>
*** Release 7.0.1 ***
Noteworthy changes compared to the previous release, 7.0.0:
Bug fixes:
- Fix ARM64/aarch64 spinup code to properly support Apple Silicon
chips.
- Prevent users from building Limine with a GNU Make version older than
4.2, as that is not supported, by gracefully erroring out with a
useful error message.
- Avoid usage of reserved C identifiers in certain cases.
Miscellaneous:
- Drop usage of "libgcc-binaries" for "cc-runtime". This finally makes
us able to ship Limine tarballs without included binary blobs, and
should improve compatibility with more obscure toolchain set ups.

*** Release 7.0.0 ***
Noteworthy changes compared to the previous release, 6.20240107.0:
Bug fixes:
- Minor fix of newline handling when reading user input lines.
Miscellanous:
- Bump major version to 7. Note: There is no breaking change in 7.x
compared to 6.x; the major version bump is done due to a change in
the versioning scheme used by Limine (move to proper Semantic
Versioning).
- Fix versions of external dependencies in "bootstrap" script.

to print the directory where Limine files are stored when installed
on a host distro.
Miscellaneous:
- General improvements to the `--help` texts for the `limine` program.
2023-12-10 mintsuki <[email protected]>
