2022-01-07	Everywhere: Fix many spelling errors	mjz19910

2021-12-29	Meta+Documentation: Don't rebuild disk image for every run on OpenBSD	tuftedocelot

2021-12-29	Documentation: Elaborate on GRUB image flashing and video-less debugging	kleines Filmröllchen
	This should help others to not run into the same roadblocks with bare-metal that I ran into.
2021-12-27	Documentation: Recommend using Xcode's command line tools on macOS	Conor Byrne

2021-12-22	Meta: Add a cmake flag for building for compiler explorer	Ali Mohammad Pur
	We don't need to build tests/binaries for CE.
2021-12-21	Documentation: Update VSCode configuration	alexmajor
	Remove note about CMake Tools as version 1.9.0 has shipped and no longer needed. Update details for files to latest versions and allow easier copy and paste into an empty file.
2021-12-16	Kernel: Build with -O2 by default	Andreas Kling
	We used to build with -Os in order to fit within a certain size, but there isn't really a good reason for that kind of restriction. Switching to -O2 yields a significant improvement in throughput, for example `test-js` is roughly 20% faster on my machine. :^)
2021-12-14	Documentation: Fix spelling error	Astraeus-
	"SourceLocatin" -> "SourceLocation"
2021-12-02	Documentation: Update instructions for using the Clang toolchain	Sam Atkins
	The note that `Meta/serenity.sh` is incompatible with Clang is no longer true.
2021-11-30	Documentation: Document the new TRY/MUST and serenity_main patterns :^)	Brian Gianforcaro
	We have some new patterns, lets document them for future contributors.
2021-11-25	Documentation: Remove outdated instruction	Thi Doãn
	As of qemu 6.0.0, it should already have the entitlement to access the Hypervior.framework by default, so re-codesigning the binary is no-longer necessary. https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/8a74ce618b647e71ac703b5fe5dba3a2329a4d76
2021-11-21	Documentation: Document which file formats exist	Ben Wiederhake
	I intentionally don't document the format specifics, to prevent this file from becoming outdated. Hence, only a list with pointers to where to find details.
2021-11-20	Toolchain: Add Qemu build dependencies to Dockerfile	Jelle Raaijmakers
	Also add `libsdl2-dev` as a required dependency and reorder the list of packages passed to `apt-get`.
2021-11-11	Documentation: Update Debian dependency list	Ben Wiederhake
	Apparently, qemu-system-* changed its name. On Debian/Ubuntu, genext2fs does not make a difference: The only user of this command, Meta/build-image-qemu.sh, runs as root anyway, and tries to do 'mount _disk_image mnt/' first. Debian/Ubuntu always have drivers for ext2 available, so this command has no good reason to fail, and trying to use genext2fs might only obscure any problems that mount encountered. Finally, Debian Bullseye (released 2021-08-14) contains gcc-10, so the instructions on how to upgrade are now obsolete.
2021-11-06	Documentation: Update and simplify VSCode Task recommendation	Hendiadyoin1
	With these you'll only need 3 tasks to cover lagom and all of normal build and launch with just 3 Tasks and two option menus.
2021-11-05	Documentation: Recommend a comment style	Ben Wiederhake

2021-11-02	Documentation: Update BuildInstructionsMacOS.md	Nicolas Danelon
	- gcc@10 is not available for M1, using gcc 11. - the path to qemu is now dynamic
2021-11-02	Documentation: Update required Qemu dev packages	Jelle Raaijmakers
	Without `libspice-server-dev`, Qemu will build without SPICE support.
2021-10-25	SystemServer: Rename 'BootModes' config option to 'SystemModes'	Ben Wiederhake

2021-10-25	Kernel+SystemServer: Change bootmode to system_mode	Ben Wiederhake
	'bootmode' now only controls which set of services are started by SystemServer, so it is more appropriate to rename it to system_mode, and no longer validate it in the Kernel.
2021-10-25	Kernel: Separate panic behavior from bootmode	Ben Wiederhake
	Bootmode used to control panic behavior and SystemServer. This patch factors panic behavior control into a separate flag.
2021-10-25	Kernel: Separate framebuffers from bootmode	Ben Wiederhake
	Bootmode used to control framebuffers, panic behavior, and SystemServer. This patch factors framebuffer control into a separate flag. Note that the combination 'bootmode=self-test fbdev=on' leads to unexpected behavior, which can only be fixed in a later commit.
2021-10-21	Documentation: Tweak RunningOnRaspberryPi a bit	Nico Weber

2021-10-20	Meta: Document anon user's password	Tom

2021-10-16	Documentation: Add RunningOnRaspberryPi page	Marcin Undak
	This is a first draft targeted for existing developers.
2021-10-11	Documentation: Fix spelling error	mjz19910
	A spelling error caused an invalid file to be referenced, change the summary value so it mentions to the correct file.
2021-10-10	Documentation: Fix broken empty links	Ben Wiederhake
	The intention seems to be to enable links like: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documentation/CodingStyle.md#east-const However, this has never worked, and is also not how the syntax works. Because there seems to be no demand for the intended feature (nobody since 2019 fixed it), this patch removes it. Found by markdown-checker.
2021-10-07	Documentation: Fix one more path for GRUB netbooting	Tim Schumacher

2021-10-07	Documentation: Install pxelinux into the root of TFTP	Tim Schumacher
	pxelinux doesn't appear to allow switching to the parent directory, and absolute paths don't seem to work as expected either.
2021-10-07	Documentation: Update NetworkBoot to include Prekernel	Tim Schumacher

2021-10-04	Documentation: Added unzip to arch install list	Patrick Wilmes
	After setting up the toochain on manjaro linux (new install) the build of the toolchain failed as unzip was not found. The unzip package is listed in the documentation for debian (apt) but is was missing for arch linux.
2021-10-04	Documentation: Add documentation for adding IDL files	Sam Atkins
	There are several steps involved, which are not at all obvious unless you already know them. So now they're written down. :^)
2021-10-01	Documentation: Fix grammar-o in ProcFSIndexing.md	Nico Weber

2021-09-30	Documentation: Add texinfo to build instructions	Nico Weber
	`Meta/serenity.sh rebuild-toolchain aarch64` failed with the gdb build complaining about missing `makeinfo` without this.
2021-09-28	Documentation: Add `AK::SourceLocation` pattern to Patterns.md	Brian Gianforcaro
	Document the emergent pattern of using `SourceLocation` for capture file, line, function name information when calling an API.
2021-09-28	Documentation: Add operator"" sv pattern to Patterns.md	Brian Gianforcaro

2021-09-27	Documentation: Add build file copy instruction	Edward Palmer

2021-09-19	Meta: Add section to CLion Configuration Docs about including headers	Tobias Christiansen

2021-09-18	Documentation: Add the new supported RTL8168 variants to the list	Liav A

2021-09-16	Documentation: Recommend setting PREFIX_PATH instead of INSTALL_PREFIX	Andrew Kaster
	This was straight up the wrong CMake variable to set. We care about where the project will find Lagom, not where it wants to install its own binaries to.
2021-09-15	Documentation: Update CLionConfiguration for SuperBuild	Andrew Kaster
	Extra configure options may need passed to CLion in order for it not to choke on the new CMake setup. In particular, it's now a very bad idea to pass CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER and CMAKE_C_COMPILER to the target build.
2021-09-15	Documentation: Document new SuperBuild build infrastructure	Andrew Kaster
	Add additional clarification for the CMake cache, and add missing extra targets as well.
2021-09-11	Documentation: Fix slightly-broken headers	Ben Wiederhake
	GithubFlavoredMarkdown sees the angled brackets (<>) and censors them. Perhaps because it does not allow HTML tags in headings.
2021-09-10	Documentation: Tweak IntrusiveList example to reflect new API	Ali Mohammad Pur

2021-09-10	Documentation: Clarify Windows build instructions	Sam Atkins
	People seem to easily miss the "Setting up build tools" section, so I have moved that step above the filesystem information and linked directly to BuildInstructions.md to hopefully make it harder to skip. Also, added mention of `\\wsl$` since that regularly comes up in Discord.
2021-09-08	Documentation: Fix broken link in Documentation	Ben Wiederhake

2021-09-07	Documentation: Add missing dependencies for Nix	Ernests Kuzņecovs
	I was building serenity on quite a fresh NixOS system and it turns out `unzip` and `qemu` were missing from this nix expression to compile and run serenity.
2021-09-05	Kernel: Make all Spinlocks use u8 for storage, remove template	Brian Gianforcaro
	The default template argument is only used in one place, and it looks like it was probably just an oversight. The rest of the Kernel code all uses u8 as the type. So lets make that the default and remove the unused template argument, as there doesn't seem to be a reason to allow the size to be customizable.
