[syslinux] SYSLINUX 3.40-pre1 released (experimental!)
Hello everyone... Parallel development at its finest; I have pushed out a 3.40-pre1 release. This is an experimental release which supports loading a new config file, as well as forcing the type of file (to avoid nasty surprises with KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.0 and the like.) The following caveats are currently present: 1. THIS IS NOT YET IMPLEMENTED IN THE MENU SYSTEM! It will be, but isn't yet. 2. A FONT statement is not cancelled when a new configuration file is loaded (a KBDMAP statement is, however.) This requires some additional smarts. For those of you that have asked for this feature, please try it out. I'm still planning to release a 3.31 which only contains the improvements to the graphical menu system. 3.40 contains some fairly radical changes in comparison, and will probably take some additional time to stabilize/complete. -hpa
