-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov 16 14:53:11 CET 2009 - snwint@suse.de
- fix chdir() call
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Oct 29 16:28:23 CET 2009 - snwint@suse.de
- add gfxboot.c32
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 19 16:46:26 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de
- get kernel size right
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 19 13:40:40 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de
- set correct timeout value
- localboot should return to text mode
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Oct 15 12:02:56 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de
- update to version 3.83
* PXELINUX: clear memory before handing over to a chainloaded
NBP. This may help avoid a bug in Windows RIS.
* PXELINUX: fix localboot after NBP chainloading on certain
BIOSes (including ASUS A8N-E, but possibly others.)
* chain.c32: support chainloaded bootloaders on ISOLINUX.
* PXELINUX: allow filenames up to 251 characters.
* MEMDISK: fix problems booting from USB on Thinkpads, and
possibly other machines or hardware combinations.
* HDT: updated to version 0.3.4.
* MEMDISK: the stack size is now configurable, with the stack=
option.
* Simple menu: fix Ctrl-W (word erase) in command-line edit.
* Simple menu: fix crash on some platforms.
* PXELINUX: add a tool to override specific DHCP options via
values hardcoded in the pxelinux.0 file. These hardcoded
values can be either "before DHCP" (defaults if DHCP do not
provide values), or "after DHCP" (overrides DHCP). The tool
pxelinux-options can be used to set these options. This
feature does not apply to gpxelinux.0; when used with gPXE
this is better handled by modifying the embedded script.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 5 13:44:54 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de
- if first memory area is too small, use largest (bnc #469889, bnc #507952)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Aug 25 15:53:39 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de
- fix argv setup (bnc #530255)
- now accepts two args: bootlogo and a (text)message file
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Aug 7 13:47:54 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de
- replaced gfxboot.com with an enhanced version
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Aug 4 10:49:19 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de
- fix isohybrid -id
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 10 11:59:54 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de
- update to version 3.82
* Lots of bug fixes.
* Simple menu: make ONTIMEOUT work with MENU HIDDEN.
* PXELINUX: handle TFTP servers which have extra NULs at the
end of an OACK packet.
* Attempt to halt the processor while idle. This can cause
bad reponsiveness when using a serial console especially for
automated input; if that ends up being a problem, use the
new "NOHALT 1" configuration command.
* isohybrid: fix the -partok logic for loading from a partition.
* isohybrid: add a variety of options, and a help message.
* isohybrid: fix problem with images over 2 GB in size.
* ISOLINUX: fix booting in hybrid mode when CBIOS is used.
This unfortunately means that the isohybrid handoff protocol
has changed, so the isohybrid utility must version-match
isolinux.bin.
* Don't hang trying to boot a "menu quit" label from the CLI.
* Fix problem with boot-once "sticking" on some BIOSes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Apr 22 12:54:53 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de
- gfxboot: usage has changed; see README.gfxboot for details
- update to version 3.75
* Lots of bug fixes.
* New UI directive, which allows a more natural way to specify
a menu system (or not.) With the UI directive specifying
the menu system, the DEFAULT directive can be used to select
the default entry inside the menus.
* kbdmap.c32: new module to load a new keyboard map
dynamically.
* Suppress the Loading ... message if "quiet" is specified on
the kernel command line.
* MBR: produce alternate MBR variants which force the drive
number to hd0 (_f variants), or force the drive number to
hd0 if the Ctrl key is pressed (_c variants.) Furthermore,
add an MBR variant (altmbr*.bin) which ignores the active
flag and instead boots the partition number specified in the
byte at offset 439 decimal.
* Add IPAPPEND strings to com32 modules, especially needed for
linux.c32.
* New MENU SAVE directive which saves the latest menu
selection until the next boot. Currently only implemented for
EXTLINUX.
* gfxboot.com: *experimental* interface module to Steffen
Winterfeldt's "gfxboot" graphical front end
(http://gfxboot.sourceforge.net/). Module by Sebastian Herbszt.
* config.c32: trivial COM32 module to restart Syslinux with
another configuration file from the command line (equivalent
to the CONFIG command in the configuratin file.)
* Include the pxechain.com module from Jeffery Hutzelman at
Carnegie Mellon University. This allows chaining another
PXE boot program while changing the DHCP packet passed to
it.
* ISOLINUX: support generating images which can be either
a CD-ROM or a hard disk (USB disk, etc.) See
doc/isolinux.txt for more information.
* Tab display of labels, based on a patch from Sebastian
Herbszt. Can be disabled with the NOCOMPLETE configuration
command.
* Optionally allow initrd to be specified on a separate line
rather than as part of the "append" line. This is not
recommended, but apparently makes life easier for some
tools.
* chain.c32: lots of new options added
* ifcpu64.c32: simple COM32 module to select a 32- or 64-bit
kernel (and optionally 32-bit kernels with or without PAE.)
Eventually we want a scripting language for this
kind of stuff; a Lua module is under development.
* PXELINUX: Support enhanced capabilities when running on top
of gPXE (http://www.etherboot.org/). In particular, support
URL-style syntax for filenames, and any protocol that gPXE
supports (except, currently, iSCSI and AoE.) This feature
is currently highly experimental.
* SYSLINUX: VFAT long filename support.
* Add an experimental MBR for GPT partition tables.

Tue Nov 4 16:57:17 CET 2008 - snwint@suse.de

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 14 11:13:31 CEST 2008 - snwint@suse.de
- update to version 3.63
* Lots of bug fixes.
* Handle command lines up to 2047 characters, the current
Linux kernel limit.
* Support MD5, SHA256 and SHA512 encrypted passwords.
* MEMDISK: Turn on EDD support by default.
* Add a new INCLUDE command to the core syslinux parser.
* It is now supported to load a different configuration file
with the CONFIG keyword.
* MENU AUTOBOOT, MENU TABMSG, MENU PASSPROMPT allows
internationalization of menu messages.
* New hierarchial submenu support: see MENU BEGIN, MENU END,
MENU GOTO in doc/menu.txt.
* MENU QUIT allows creating a menu entry for returning to the
command line.
* Simple menu system: new "MENU HIDDEN" option to not display
the menu unless the user presses a key.
* Add "menu separator", "menu indent", "menu disabled"
(see README.menu).
* SYSLINUX: Support subdirectories.
* PXELINUX: Press Ctrl-N at the boot prompt to read out the
network info.
* PXELINUX: as per RFC 5071, PXELINUX no longer requires the
use of the magic cookie option (208) for unencapsulated
options. Currently it does not require it for
vendor-encapsulated options (vendor-option-space) either,
but that MAY be reverted in the future if it causes problems.
* EXTLINUX: boot-once support (--once, --clear-once, and --reset-adv)
* Support for "auxilliary data vector", a small amount of
writable storage. Currently only supported for EXTLINUX,
but the infrastructure is there for the other derivatives,
assuming a suitable storage location can be found.

using MENU INCLUDE or by specifying multiple filenames.
* The MENU COLOR statement can now control the shadowing mode.
* libcom32 extended to support graphics mode and graphical console.
* vesamenu.c32, new graphical version of the Simple
Menu System, see README.menu.
* New com32 modules by Erwan Velu do selection based on CPUID
or PCI devices present.
* EXTLINUX: New options --install (-i) and --update (-U), to
make it clear if a boot loader should be installed or
updated. For now, defaults to --install for compatibility;
a future version will require one of these options.
* New library functions to load and place files in memory.
* mboot.c32 bug fixes.
* Remove 8 MB kernel size restriction.
* PXELINUX: Fail (and eventually reboot) if no configuration
file was found.
