[EIP 36089] - Removed the /ECX command auto shutdown action, when flash completely. Bug fixes: - Fixed the RomHole will not be protected issue, when its size is bigger than 64KB, even if OFBD has setting it is protected. - Fix CMOS warning message misspelled problem. [EIP 36271] ============================================================================== 4.44 New features: - Added to support the "/E" and "/ECX" command can use EC single bin file to update Share EC firmware block. (/ECX for non AMI's EC firmware) - Change the "/CFGBHV:0" command behavior to avoid user been confused, when use this command in AFUWIN GUI mode. Bug fixes: - Fixed the progress bar didn't correctly problem of AFUWIN GUI Mode, when the BIOS Size is 8MByte. ============================================================================== 4.43 New features: - Modify the "/SANTA" command to support the "ME" firmware check. - Disable the Windows system "Windows + L" shortcut key function, when using AFUWIN to update the BIOS. - Add the "/ECX" command to support non EC-share BIOS update, when it is not AMI's EC firmware. ============================================================================== 4.42 New features: 1. Add the relative error message for ME firmware update, when retries failed. 2. Add ME Firmware Version Control Feature. Bug fixes: 1. Fixed the error message didn't correct problem, when update BIOS failure. ============================================================================== 4.41 New features: 1. Add a new command "/ICLC" for ignore the CMOS layout checksum check. (EIP 22354) 2. GUI Mode : - Support the ME firmware update function. - Support the OEM Password Check function. Bug fixes: 1. Fixed the progress message of ROMHole update does not correct problem, when used the "/Hole" command to update. 2. Fixed the halted issue of AFU when used the "/MEUF" to update the ME firmware and used the "/Ln" command to Load CMOS Default at the same time. 3. Fixed the "/MEUF" and "/ME" two commands can not be used problem, when set them are default command by AMIUCP. 4. Fixed the halted issue of AFU when used the "/Q" command to hide all message and the CMOS Layout difference between System ROM and ROM File has been detected. 5. Fixed the RomHole can not be updated issue, when the parameter of RomHole not include the "File=xxx" definition. 6. Change the "/X" command check priority in order to avoid the OEM-Rom-ID Module does not work. 7. Fixed the error message of OEM-Rom-ID can not display correctly problem. ============================================================================== 4.40 1. Increased the "/MEUF" command for ME Ignition Firmware update. 2. Increased the "/ME" command for ME Entire Firmware update. (Windows PE support only) 3. Auto change the /reboot and /shutdown command behavior to match the /frestart and /fshutdown command, when use them in the WinPE environment . 4. Fix the coding mistake. When user has used the AMIUCP to set the default command into the AFU, which would be caused the AFU can't display the help message. ============================================================================== 4.39 1. Fixed the error message of EC could not display normally, when AFUWIN is GUI mode. [EIP 20080] 2. Fixed the AFU couldn't to flash the BIOS directly, when User have inserted the default command and ROM File image name at @CMD by AMIUCP. [EIP 20419] 3. Fixed the RomHole couldn't to protect issue, when one of RomHole of ROM File has the same location as in System BIOS's. And the RomHole count of ROM File doesn't match the System BIOS's. [EIP 20744] 4. Changed the prevent way of system entered to the Sleep mode, when AFUWIN is without starting flashing BIOS. [EIP 20799] 5. Fixed the ECBB couldn't protect issue, when ECBB size doesn't match 64KB . [EIP 20843] ============================================================================== 4.38 1. Fixed the AFUWIN has stopped work issue under Vista64 with SP1 environment. [EIP 17823] 2. Fixed the GPNV offset miscalculation problem, which caused the "/R" command preserve SMBIOS data failure, when the BIOS Size is bigger and than 1MByte. [EIP 18505] 3. Solved the UAC (User Account Control) problem, let AFUWIN could be executed normally and not need to use "Run as Administrator" under Windows Vista environment. 4. Support the Windows 7 version number detected. 5. Changed the original "/Reboot" and "/Shutdown" two commands operation way to avoid the windows generated the system event log of shutdown error after reboot. [EIP 19047] * Add the new "/FReboot" command to force the restart action after programming. (For WinPE) * Add the new "/FShutdown" command to force system shutdown after programming. (For WinPE) ============================================================================== 4.37 1. Added the CMOS Layout check to avoid generated the CMOS error after bootblock recovery. [EIP 15681] 2. Fixed the check rule issue of "IFD" block, when the "IFD" block size is not equal to 64Kbyte. [EIP 15502] 3. Fixed the NCB update checked rule, when NCB bin file not include the header info. [EIP 16464] 4. Modified the AFUWIN to prevent the OS enter the shutdown/sleep mode, when end-user press the power button or setting system idle time expired . 5. Changed the compiler way of VC 6.0 from "Shared DLL" to "Static Library" , which would be fixed the AFUWIN couldn't execute problem under the WinPE environment. 6. Fixed the progress bar didn't synchronize issue of AFUWIN GUI Mode, when the BIOS Size is bigger than 1MByte. [EIP 16636] ============================================================================== 4.36 1. To raise the OEM SMI's checking priority for OEM to be able to adjust ROMHole flash behavior in BIOS. 2. Referenced UCORE Function updated, according to UCORE v1.15.00. (Compress & Uncompress Rule) 3. Fixed the AFUWIN halt issue when flashing the BIOS and the "Load CMOS Default" checkbox has been checked. 4. New AFUWIN Utility to support Windows PE 2.0 x64 version. ======================================================================
