Hi all,

Another week of adding goodness to the fwts tool. Changes in version
0.16.3 are as follows:

Manual page. 
        Usage: man fwts

S4 Hibernate/Resume tests
        Fix a bug in detecting allocation of hibernate image
        Detect huge kernel trace buffers that can cause hibernation
        failure
        Will now do multiple S4 tests - default is 2, can select with
        --s4-multiple=N
        
S3 Suspend/Resume
        Improved progress feedback
        
Hotkey testing
        This interactive test allows one to press hotkeys and the test
        will identify the key in the keymap. The test attempts to use
        the keymap that matches your hardware. Thanks to Bryan Wu for
        this test idea.
        
Bios Info
        The bios_info test now extracts data from /sys/class/dmi/id
        rather than using dmidecode.
        
Data Dump
        The new --dump option dumps out the ACPI tables, lspci -vv -nn,
        dmidecode, kernel log and a covering README file. This can be
        used to quickly grab diagnostic log data for later analysis.

Log scanning
        Regex patterns are now pre-compiled for a complete log scan,
        speeding up scanning by a factor of x20 or so.

Bug fixing
        Fix a bunch of memory free issues

As ever, feel free to try it out, find bugs, add suggestions +
contribute changes!

Colin
