> ### 2020-7-18

#### Added

- EDID Override patch for FHD screen. Thanks [@Paolo97Gll](https://github.com/Paolo97Gll)

#### Changed

- By default, `OpenCore-EFI` now has the 4K output patch disabled for easier system upgrades. Install `OpenCore patches/4K-Output` if you need it.
- Upgraded `VoodooRMI`
- Documentation changes for readability. 

> ### 2020-6-29

#### Added

- X1 6th Gen Hardware Maintenance Guide pdf.
- Display Patches in `patches/Internal Displays/` for the WQHD HDR Screen:
- Color profile as calibrated by notebookcheck
- EDID override to patch HDMI hotplug and overclock refresh rate. Thank you @veelar
- Please follow instructions on [Issue #60](https://github.com/tylernguyen/x1c6-hackintosh/issues/60) to create an EDID override for your own display. Make sure to create a pull request!
- Repo issue template to deter low effort issues and better diagnosing and support.
- More documentation in `EFI-OpenCore/README.md` about decisions on `config.plist`

#### Changed

- Reverted to previous, simpler iGPU framebuffer patches.

> ### 2020-6-26

#### Added

- `VoodooRMI` as alternative trackpad option. **Enabled by default, feel free to revert back to `VoodooPS2Mouse` and `VoodooPS2Trackpad` if you prefer**. *Note, there's currently a bug with RMI where the touchpad would not load once in a while. The RMI kext uploaded in this repo has a temp fix by me (See [VoodooSMBUS/PR](https://github.com/VoodooSMBus/VoodooSMBus/pull/41)). However, the issue is still ongoing and the dev team is aware of it. I'm switching this repo to VoodooRMI because I believe it's the future and I want to possible bugs to be reported to be fixed for the kext's first stable release.  
- Kernel patches to enable 4K external graphics, thank you so much [@benbender](https://github.com/benbender)
- `XQ74` patch in `SSDT-Keyboard` to support `FnLock` HUD per ThinkpadAssistant 1.8.0
- In [EFI-OpenCore/README.md](https://github.com/tylernguyen/x1c6-hackintosh/blob/master/EFI-OpenCore/README.md), I've added a short section explaining why certain variables are the way they are in my `config.plist`. I will continue to update this section with more details as time goes on.  

#### Changed

- iGPU Framebuffer patching for HDMI issue in Catalina. 
    - In Catalina/WhateverGreen version, for some reasons my previous framebuffer patches for HDMI no longer worked. So I re-did the patch in mode details but eventually the property that fixed it was `disable-external-gpu` or `-wegnoegpu`. For some strange reasons, that variable activated on-board HDMI. See [similar reports here](https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-general-framebuffer-patching-guide-hdmi-black-screen-problem.269149/page-123). I'm going to create an issue on acidanthera/bugtracker soon to report to the dev team. In the mean time, keep this property if you rely on HDMI and do not have an eGPU. Delete this property if you have an eGPU (You're likely using the HDMI on the eGPU anyway).
- Fixed `VoodooPS2` kexts loading order.
- Various reference docs to dortania.
- `HibernateMode` to `Auto`

#### Removed

- Unnecessary Mutex OpenCore patches, all Mutex are already 0 in stock `DSDT`.
- `SSDT-MCHC` and `SSDT-SBUS` for `VoodooRMI` compatibility.

> ### 2020-6-1

#### Changed

- OpenCore to 0.5.9
- Upgraded various Acidanthera kexts.
- Recompiled various SSDT with new iasl libraries.
- Replaced `SSDT-EXT3` with `SSDT-LED`
- Change SSDT OEM ID to `tyler` to somewhat track distributions and usage across various projects

> ### 2020-5-27

#### Changed

- Keyboard backlight is now supported by [ThinkpadAssistant 1.7](https://github.com/MSzturc/ThinkpadAssistant), thank so much [@MSzturc](https://github.com/MSzturc)
- SSDT-keyboard to support ThinkpadAssistant 1.7.0
- Honestly, what's even left to improve on the keyboard? Open an issue.

> ### 2020-5-24

#### Added
- Setting instructions better sleep in 5_README-other.md

#### Changed

- Bluetooth Toggle is now supported by [ThinkpadAssistant 1.6](https://github.com/MSzturc/ThinkpadAssistant), thank so much [@MSzturc](https://github.com/MSzturc)
- SSDT-keyboard to support ThinkpadAssistant 1.6.0

#### Removed
- BetterTouchTool is no longer needed for Fn key functions and has been removed.
- `SMCLightSensor.kext` has been removed as the x1c6 has no ambient light sensor.

> ### 2020-5-22

- Further SSDT-Keyboard tweaks:
    - Windows (mismapped to Left Alt by default) is now properly mapped to Left GUI
    - Left Alt (mismapped to Left GUI by default) is now properly mapped to Left Alt
    - Right Alt (mismapped to Right GUI by default) is now properly mapped to Right Alt
- This means that Karabiner-Elements is no longer a necessary for this project. Once less program! unless you need it for other purposes (like a hyper key). 
- *Similarly, once Bluetooth toggle is implemented in ThinkpadAssistant, BetterTouchTool can also go away.

> ### 2020-5-21

#### Changed

Keyboard Perfection is almost here!
- Modified SSDT-Keyboard patch to be compatible with [ThinkpadAssistant](https://github.com/MSzturc/ThinkpadAssistant).
    - Mute/unMute Microphone with F4, with LED!
    - Disable WiFi with F8
    - Mirror with F7
    - Bluetooth, F10 still has to be handled by BetterTouchTool, but hopefully supported will be added soon. See my [request](https://github.com/MSzturc/ThinkpadAssistant/issues/9)
