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