It was actually released yesterday, but due to some technical
difficulties I didn't get a chance to announce it properly:
Syslinux 4.03 is primarily a bug fix release.
Changes in 4.03:
* Don't hang if no configuration file is found.
* 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.
* rosh.c32 updated (Gene Cumm).
* Fix the -s option to the syslinux/extlinux installer (Arwin
Vosselman).
* isohybrid: fix padding of large images (PJ Pandit).

Title: syslinux
Version: 4.03
Entered-date: 2010-10-22
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.
