* Major code base changes; all filesystem rewritten in C.
This work was done primarily by Liu Aleaxander (Yuanhan Liu).
* Better support for booting from MBRs which don't pass
handover information.
* EXTLINUX: Try to be smarter about finding the partition
offset.
* chain.c32: support chainloading Dell Real Mode Kernel (Gene
Cumm).
* chain.c32: fix booting in CHS mode.
* Fix the -s option to the syslinux/extlinux installer (Arwin
Vosselman).
* isohybrid: fix padding of large images (PJ Pandit).
* SYSLINUX: correctly handle the case where the -d option is
specified with a non-absolute path, i.e. "syslinux -d
syslinux" instead of "syslinux -d /syslinux".
* ISOLINUX: recognize the directory names /boot/syslinux and
/syslinux, and the filename syslinux.cfg in addition to the
isolinux-specific names. Thus, "syslinux.cfg" is now a
generic name, whereas "isolinux.cfg" or "extlinux.conf" is
specific to different derivative.
* chain.c32: support setting alternate config filename for
stage2 of GRUB Legacy (Gert Hulselmans).
* whichsys.c32: execute specific command, based on Syslinux
bootloader variant (Gert Hulselmans).
* lua.c32: a lot of new bindings added to the "syslinux"
namespace: VESA, PCI, DMI, kernel loading (Marcel Ritter).
* btrfs: print a comprehensive error message if compressed or
encrypted files are encountered (neither is currently

gfxboot is now loaded via a COM32 module. If you used a line like
|
|
|
|
gfxboot bootlogo
|
|
|
|
before in isolinux.cfg or syslinux.cfg, change this to
|
|
|
|
ui gfxboot bootlogo
|
|
|
|
and add /usr/share/syslinux/gfxboot.c32 to your boot directory (the one
|
|
where the config file is).
|
|
|
|
You can also use
|
|
|
|
ui gfxboot bootlogo message
|
|
|
|
and remove the
|
|
|
|
display message
|
|
|
|
line. The 'message' file will be shown when you leave the gfxboot module (or
|
|
it couldn't be started).
|
|
|
|
This also means that gfxboot now works with other syslinux variants like
|
|
pxelinux or extlinux.
