* 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.
