After the previous release candidate (1.0RC1), there have been more than 300 commits with bug fixes and new features. OpenBIOS can be used to boot Linux and many other operating systems on Sparc32 and PowerPC systems emulated by QEMU. There is also experimental support for 64 bit Sparc64 and PowerPC64 systems. I'd like to thank Stefan Reinauer for steering and guidance, expert advise on all matters ranging from Forth magic to OpenBIOS internals and of course for the main development that we could build upon. Laurent Vivier deserves credit for bootstrapping the PowerPC port and other important work, especially on PCI. Thanks also to all those who contributed in form of patches (from SVN commits in alphabetic order): Stefan Assmann Paul Brook Mark Cave-Ayland Justin Chevrier Peter Creath Alexander Graf Mike Hommey Aurelien Jarno Igor Kovalenko as well as those mentioned in the Credits page: Patrick Mauritz Samuel Rydh Greg Watson David Paktor Chen-Chau Chu Tim Barrett Krishna Myneni but many others tested, reported bugs and provided helpful comments, thanks to you all.
