Version 20180105

05 January 2018. Summary of changes for version 20180105:

This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads

1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:

Updated all copyrights to 2018. This affects all source code modules.

Fixed a possible build error caused by an unresolved reference to the AcpiUtSafeStrncpy function.

Removed NULL pointer arithmetic in the various pointer manipulation macros. All "(void *) NULL" constructs are converted to "(void *) 0". This eliminates warnings/errors in newer C compilers. Jung-uk Kim.

Added support for A32 ABI compilation, which uses the ILP32 model. Anuj Mittal.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:

ASLTS: Updated all copyrights to 2018.

Tools: Updated all signon copyrights to 2018.

AcpiXtract: Fixed a regression related to ACPI table signatures where the signature was truncated to 3 characters (instead of 4).

AcpiExec: Restore the original terminal mode after the use of the -v and -vd options.

ASLTS: Deployed the iASL __METHOD__ macro across the test suite.
