UEFITool NE/UEFIExtract/UEFIFind A62
This release is full of minor improvements and fixes for minor issues that laid unresolved for several years due to them being so minor.
It also adds FreeBSD to the list of supported OSes thanks to @pkubaj's effort to make the tools buildable there.
New features:
- support for x86-64 128Kb Recovery Startup AP Data, a special 16 byte entry at a fixed address inside a Padding file in some PEI volumes on x86-64 PCs, thanks to @NikolajSchlej
- support for AMI ROM Hole files, that need to remain at fixed base addresses inside the image, thanks to @NikolajSchlej
Bug fixes and small improvements:
- fix for a crash during ME FPT parsing, thanks to @retpoline for reporting and @NikolajSchlej for the fix
- fix for builds on Windows with MinGW, thanks to @llxiaoyuan for reporting and @NikolajSchlej for the fix
- fix for builds on multiple BSD variants for multiple architectures, thanks to @pkubaj, @vit9696 and @NikolajSchlej

qmake
, butqmake-qt5
(Fedora, FreeBSD), thanks to @ValdikSS - fixes to make static analysers happier, thanks to @NikolajSchlej

UEFITool NE/UEFIExtract/UEFIFind A61
This huge release (over 9000 lines of new code) finally adds support for Intel BootGuard v2 structures (that @prop263 made a PR for nearly 2 years ago), reimplemented from scratch using Kaitai Struct.
Other changes included in this release:
- improved UEFITool icon for macOS build, thanks to @vit9696
- Intel BootGuard v1 and Intel ACM parsers got replaced by Kaitai-based ones, thanks to @NikolajSchlej
- added support for Meson builds for UEFIExtract and UEFIFind, thanks to @hughsie
- added support for CMake builds for UEFITool (requires Qt6), thanks to @NikolajSchlej
- added more Lenovo-specific GUIDs to the built-in GUID database, thanks to @crass
- added several new static analysers (PVS-Studio, CodeQL, SonarCloud) to CI/CD pipeline, fixes most of the issues spotted by them, thanks to @NikolajSchlej
Special thanks to Fiano and CSS folks, I could not cross-check the new KSY definitions without them.
UEFITool/UEFIExtract/UEFIFind NE A60
The first release of 2022 is mostly about testing the new universal binaries for macOS (i.e. when the single binary is built natively for both x86-64 and arm64), but it also has some improvements and bugfixes:
- added support for parsing some some HP images that use EFI_GUIDED_SECTION_LZMA_HP GUID for their LZMA-compressed sections, thanks to @yeggor
- added support for "Extract Uncompressed..." and "Uncompressed Hex View..." actions in UEFITool, both are useful in expecting the raw uncompressed data of compressed items, and will help catch and fix some otherwise invisible issues like #178, thanks to @NikolajSchlej
- added support for proper parsing of ME File Partition Table header version 2.1, improved parsing of the previous versions 1.0 and 2.0, thanks to @NikolajSchlej and @platomav
- fixed CI\CD, updated its configuration to use newer runners, fixed some Coverity warnings found because it's working again, thanks to @vit9696 and @NikolajSchlej
- built Qt 5.6.3 as universal library for macOS, and updated unixbuild.sh and CI\CD to generate unversal binaries instead of just x86-64 ones for macOS, thanks to @vit9696 and @NikolajSchlej
