+- 1.1.8
+  - Store everything in arch
+- 1.1.7
+  - The configuration language has been cleaned up.  No more link keyword.
+  - Everything is now in the device tree.
+  - The static and dynamic device trees have been unified
+  - Support for setting the pci subsystem vendor and pci subsystem device has been added.
+  - 64bit resource support
+  - Generic smbus support
+- 1.1.6
+  - pnp/superio devices are now handled cleanly with very little code
+  - Initial support for finding x86 BIST errors
+  - static resource assignments can now be specified in Config.lb
+  - special VGA I/O decode now should work
+  - added generic PCI error reporting enables
+  - build_opt_tbl now generates a header that allows cmos settings to
+    be read from romcc compiled code.
+  - split IORESOURCE_SET into IORESOURCE_ASSIGNED and IORESOURCE_STORED
+  - romcc now gracesfully handles function pointers instead of dying mysteriously
+  - First regression test in amdk8/raminit_test
+- 1.1.5
+  - O2, enums, and switch statements work in romcc
+  - Support for compiling romcc on non x86 platforms
+  - new romc options -msse and -mmmx for specifying extra registers to use
+  - Bug fixes to device the device disable/enable framework and an amd8111 implementation

+- 1.1.4
+  Major restructuring of hypertransport handling.
+  Major rewerite of superio/NSC/pc87360 as a proof of concept for handling superio resources dynamically
+  Updates to hard_reset handling when resetting because of the need to change hypertransport link
+    speeds and widths. 
+    (a) No longer assume the boot is good just because we get to a hard reset point.
+    (b) Set a flag to indicate that the BIOS triggered the reset so we don't decrement the
+        boot counter.
+  Updates to arima/hdama mptable so it tracks the new bus numbers
+- 1.1.3
+  Major update of the dyanmic device tree to so it can handle
+  * subtractive resources
+  * merging with the static device tree
+  * more device types than just pci
 - 1.1.2
   Add back in the hard_reset method from freebios1 this allows generic
-  code to reset the box.  The hypertransport setup code now uses it to
-  reset the box when the hypertransport link speeds need to change.
+  code to reset the box.  
+  Update the hypertransport setup code to automatically optimize
+  hypertransport link widths and frequencies, and to call hard_reset
+  if necessary for the changes to go into effect.
 - 1.1.1
   Updates to the new configuration system so it works more reliably
   Removed a bunch of unused configuration variables
