19 June 2015. Summary of changes for version 20150619:
This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads
Two regressions in version 20150616 have been addressed:
Fixes some problems/issues with the C library macro removal (ACPI_STRLEN, etc.) This
update changes ACPICA to only use the standard headers for functions, or (optionally) the
local prototypes for the local versions of the C library functions. Across the source
code, this required some additional casts for some Clib invocations for portability. Moved
all local prototypes to a new file, acclib.h
Fixes several problems with recent changes to the handling of the FACS table that could
cause some systems not to boot.

Please excuse my ignorance, but why are the download files named
*.tar_0.gz ? Why the '_0' ?
Also I noticed that the git-repo with the latest commit being...
commit d7a940bb308d001b5d2b196174fee36c7daa61d6

Update version to 20150619.
differs from the two source code tarballs with regard to
source/compiler/asllookup.c by the git-diff file that I've
attached. But I don't see that patch mentioned in the git-repo.
So where did those changes come from? And do they really belong
in the tarballs? And if yes, why aren't they in the git-repo?
Thanks,
Dean

Yes, the website software did this. I'm working on fixing it.

Yes, this is in fact a problem, thanks for reporting it.
Fix for both problems is underway.
