Release Notes:
==============================================================================
2.35
	01. Supports AMIUCP new commands status setting. [EIP 40002]
	02. Add a new hidden command parameter "/SANTA". [EIP 42965]
	03. Remove AFU its EC error message, when BIOS has reported the EC error message for AFU. [EIP 45928]
	04. Fixed the exception error when FV block size is less 64KB. [EIP 48906]
	05. Add a new command parameter "/A" according to OA 3.0 spec to support OEM Activation Key update.[EIP 49084]
	06. Adjust the ME block info check rule.
	07. Fixed the USB keyboard can't work problem, when saving the ROM file need to confirm with user. [EIP 48241]
	08. Fixed the halted issue of AFUDOS, when used AMIUCP set the ROM file and default command string appended to AFUDOS. 
	    And the command string must store in the last area. [EIP 48275]
==============================================================================
2.34
	01.Modified the /CMD: command to sync with OEMCMD command¡¯s behavior. [EIP 43015]
	02.Modified NVRAM data preserve function of OFBD invoke sequence to avoid caused BIOS flash failed, 
	   when issued /R command and BIOS supports this feature. [EIP 41769]
	03.Fixed the memory allocate failure problem of AFUDOS, when BIOS supports more than 4G memory mapping.
	04.Add delay time to avoid show error message before OS reboot and shutdown.
==============================================================================
2.33
	01.Add a new command line "/CAF" supports Main BIOS, Boot Block, Share EC and NCB data comparison.[EIP 35966]

	03.Add a new command line "/CMD:" to support the OEMCMD module¡¯s new status. [EIP 40787]
	04.Fixed the flash hang up issue of AFU, when BIOS has share EC firmware and its SMIFlash module version is 4.6.3.6_SMIFLASH_13 or later 	   version. (Swap the GetFlashInfo and InitFlashIfc invoke sequence.)
	05.Add a new command line "/HOLEOUT:" supports specific ROM Hole data dump according to given GUID.[EIP 39508]
	06.Fixed the memory allocate failure problem of AFUDOS, when ROM file size is bigger than or equal 8M bytes.
	07.Fixed the flash hang up issue of AFUDOS, when run in Dell¡¯s DRMK build 15 environment.[EIP 41316]
	08.Fixed sometimes could caused the default command string extract failed problem, when HIMEM is enabled.
==============================================================================

	01. Add a new command line "/OEMCMD:" to support the OEMCMD of OFBD module.[35966]
	02. Change the /ECX command usage from xxx.rom /ECX to /ECX:xxx.rom and remove the auto shutdown action.
	03. Add the Erase/Verify/Retry procedure during the EC firmware updating.[36765]
	04. Changed the memory allocate method to avoid memory allocate failure, when use it under Compal's PXE Network booting DOS environment.
	05. Fixed the "FFS checksums" is bad problem, when booting with HIMEM.SYS installed.
	06. Change /R command reserve DMI data procedure, if DMI is stored in FV_MAIN or FV_BB or NVRAM.[37169]

2.28
	1.Fix the issue that AFU stops flashing when it cannot find ROM ID in system ROM.
	2.System hang with /reboot and /shutdown command. 
	3.Afu memory error with XMS driver (himem.sys).This error can be reproduce when afu check oem romid with calling OFBD smi.
==============================================================================
