This release is all about flash chips! 36 patches to our chip database
added 90 new entries and updated many more. We had been stalling new
additions because of the work around multi i/o and QPI, now it was time
to update! Many of the new entries support faster i/o modes and write
protection already.

= What's new? =

== More Chips ==

Our list of supported chips grew from 582 to 672 entries. Some of them
support multiple chips, so we can easily say this adds over a hundred
new chips. In particular the first entries for SPI25 EEPROMs (see below)
should be compatible with a whole range of chips from different manufacturers.

Beside smaller updates and additions, we have our first entries for
chips from Puya and XTX, and many more chips from Boya/BoHong and GigaDevice.
Many of the new chips are 1.8V parts. Which is not only the standard on
AMD-based systems but also becomes more common for Intel as well.

== SPI25 EEPROM Support ==

25-series SPI EEPROMs can be read and written much like their flash relatives.
They don't support an explicit erase, though, which we emulate by zeroing the
memory. They also don't have any identification we could probe. Hence, it is
always necessary to specify a compatible chip on the command line (e.g.
'''-c 25LC032'''). For now, we have added entries for ''25LC080'' up to
''25LC1024'' from Microchip. These should also be compatible to similar
chips from other vendors.

= Other Changes =

* ''Flashprog'' shows a warning now if a layout is given but no region included.
* We added an ''.envrc'' that invokes a ''nix'' shell for those who have configured this in their environment.
* Due to concerns about differing behavior among hardware and firmware revisions, the ''dediprog'' driver only uses dual-i/o by default for the ''SF600Plus-G2'' now.
* ''udev'' rules again make use of the ''plugdev'' group, for distributions and use cases w/o ''uaccess'' rules.
* Few smaller fixups and cosmetic changes.

= Download =

''flashprog v1.4'' can be downloaded in various ways:
