1	0.62
2	====
3	
4	      - the vesafb parameter has been removed as I decided to allow the
5	      	feature without any special parameter.
6	
7	      - Cyblafb does not use the vga style of panning any longer, now the
8	      	"right view" register in the graphics engine IO space is used. Without
9		that change it was impossible to use all available memory, and without
10		access to all available memory it is impossible to ywrap.
11	
12	      - The imageblit function now uses hardware acceleration for all font
13	        widths. Hardware blitting across pixel column 2048 is broken in the
14		cyberblade/i1 graphics core, but we work around that hardware bug.
15	
16	      - modes with vxres != xres are supported now.
17	
18	      - ywrap scrolling is supported now and the default. This is a big
19	        performance gain.
20	
21	      - default video modes use vyres > yres and vxres > xres to allow
22	        almost optimal scrolling speed for normal and rotated screens
23	
24	      - some features mainly usefull for debugging the upper layers of the
25	        framebuffer system have been added, have a look at the code
26	
27	      - fixed: Oops after unloading cyblafb when reading /proc/io*
28	
29	      - we work around some bugs of the higher framebuffer layers.
