Jul 1, 2013
- Heimdall:
- Substantially improved support for Qualcomm based devices.
- Added support for printing PIT files stored on your computer.

- Dropped support for legacy hard-coded partition names e.g. –kernel, –secondary-boot etc.
- Made partitions flash in the order specified at command line so users can control which partitions are flashed first.

- Added support for PIT files that are longer than 4096 bytes.
