The 1.9.0 version of SeaBIOS has now been released. For more
information on the release, please see:
http://seabios.org/Releases
New in this release:
* The default boot menu key is now the ESC key (instead of F12)
* Initial support for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware and BIOS calls
* Initial support for chain loading SeaBIOS from Grub (via multiboot
support)
* Initial support for booting from SD cards on real hardware
* virtio 1.0 device support
* The build will no longer include the build hostname or build time on
"clean" builds. This makes the build binaries more "reproducible".
* Basic support for running SeaBIOS on Baytrail Chromebooks
* SeaVGABIOS improvements:
* Improved support for old versions of x86emu (the "leal"
instruction is now emulated)
* Several bug fixes and code cleanups
