+== gfree version 0.9 contained in gfree_09.zip ==
+Changes:
+* changed the functionality of the -w (or --disable_wp) option. It is now a yes|no option. Default is yes.
+{{{
+        -w | --disable_wp yes|no: disable write protect on eMMC
+}}}
+* added the -k (or --disable_kf) option. It is a yes|no option that can be used to turn off (or on) the functionality to remove the kernel filter that prohibits writes to low eMMC areas. Default is yes.
+{{{
+        -k | --disable_kf yes|no: remove kernel filter
+}}}
+* changed the functionality of the -b (or --hboot) option. It calculates and checks md5sums of the partition 18 before the installation (md5sum #1), of the hboot image (md5sum #2) that is to be installed and of partition 18 after the installation (md5sum #3). 
+
+If md5sum #1 is equal to md5sum #2 the hboot image is already installed and gfree will skip the installation. The output would be something like:
+{{{
+Backing up current partition 18 and installing specified hboot image...
+md5sum #1 = 7669ae12dc2faa10ae555a164980efd0
+md5sum #2 = 7669ae12dc2faa10ae555a164980efd0
+md5sum #1 == md5sum #2 - the hboot image is already installed -> skipping installation
+}}}
+If this is not the case gfree will write the hboot image to partition 18 and calculate md5sum #3 after the installation.
+
+If md5sum #2 is equal to md5sum #3 the installation was successful and the output would be something like:
+{{{
+Backing up current partition 18 and installing specified hboot image...
+md5sum #1 = 7669ae12dc2faa10ae555a164980efd0
+md5sum #2 = 2ce1bdd5e4c1119ccfcecb938710d742
+Backing up partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p18 to /sdcard/part18backup-1348606912.bin ...
+Writing image dz_hboot-eng.img to partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p18 ...
+md5sum #3 = 2ce1bdd5e4c1119ccfcecb938710d742
+md5sum #3 == md5sum #2 - the hboot image was successfully installed -> OK!
+}}}
+
+If md5sum #2 is NOT equal to md5sum #3 the installation was NOT successful and the output would be something like:
+{{{
+...
+md5sum #3 != md5sum #2 - the hboot image was NOT successfully installed -> PANIC!!!
+DO NOT REBOOT and join the IRC channel #G2Root on Freenode for further help!!!
+}}}
