Syslinux 4.01 is a bug fix release for 4.00, but also includes the new experimental lua interpreter, as well as the ifplop module. Changes in 4.01: * ISOLINUX: fix initialization on systems which don't zero low memory. * SYSLINUX/EXTLINUX: fix handing of disk read retries in EDD mode. * ISOLINUX: change the initialization sequence to avoid problems with certain (old) BIOSes. Special thanks to Helmut Hullen for invaluable debugging support. * ifplop.c32: new module which detects if the PLoP Boot Loader already has booted a CDROM or USB drive (Gert Hulselmans). * Correct a severe memory overwrite bug, triggered primarily when selecting a very long command line in the menu system. * lua.c32: Lua script interpreter, currently experimental. * PXELINUX: new option IPAPPEND 4 to append the system UUID to the kernel command line. * PXELINUX: display BOOTIF and SYSUUID at startup time, and when Ctrl-N is pressed on the command line. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 4.01 Entered-date: 2010-07-02 Description: SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating system which operates off Linux ext2/3/4 or btrfs filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs. The FAT filesystem version can be installed from DOS, NT, or Linux. It includes a sophisticated API for add-on "COM32" modules, including a significant subset of the standard C library. It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems from nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM. This version includes gPXE, to allow accessing network files via other protocols than TFTP.
