+
+      - 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.
