The following is the current change-log for Syslinux 6.03. The final stable version might include additional items. Before the final release, it would be helpful to receive feedback about: _ Any item that should be added or eliminated. _ Any item that should be edited in any way (rewording, technical details...). _ Any item that should not be included. _ Any credit that should be added / corrected / eliminated. _ Any relevant additional information for final users that should be included in the change log. _ Corrections? Improvements? Typos? Wording? Style? Anything? TIA, Ady. Changes in 6.03: * chain: Fix chainloading on 6.02 (Raphael S. Carvalho). * core: Do not leak the __lowmem and __bss16 macros to modules; hide them so modules will not use them. * load_linux: Do not use size heuristic for non-relocatable kernels, for zImage kernels and for non-Linux kernels. * PXELINUX: Fix the SENDCOOKIES feature for HTTP (Russel Santillanes). * gnu-efi: Add gnu-efi as a submodule. * ANSI: Support color tables with more than 256 entries (James Buren). * EFI: Fix displayed version; add DATE (Gene Cumm) * PXELINUX, EFI: Fix bad read of file size over TFTP on EFI64 (Sylvain Gault). * Fix hand over to kernel: "Booting kernel failed: Invalid argument" error. * ISOLINUX: EDX, LBA values higher than 65535; work around for buggy BIOS, where the system would hang, would reboot, or would show a "Disk error 01, AX=42" message. * core/legacynet: Enable dot quad resolution (Gene Cumm). * diag/geodsp improvements (Gene Cumm). * DOS: Fix syslinux.com DOS-based installer. * Improve gcc 4.3.0 compatibility. * syslxint: fix compilation on non-x86 architectures. * localboot: Fix "localboot 0x80" and similar cases. * Add memset() calls prior to any intcall() and other mem fixes; specially relevant for older hardware and/or buggy BIOS. * poweroff.c32: Fixes (Gene Cumm). * HDT: Fix memory leak in CLI (Felipe Pena). * ACPI: Remove memset of buffer; it makes things clearer but also prevents some compilation warnings (Erwan Velu). * Add manpages for isohybrid, memdiskfind (Peter Jones, Gene Cumm). * ISOLINUX: Experimental Rock Ridge support (Thomas Schmitt). * comapi: Remove the comapi interfaces. * EFI: Fixes on PE files and OVMF compatibility (Sylvain Gault, Gene Cumm). * EFI: Updates and fixes for gnu-efi sub-module (Sylvain Gault, Gene Cumm). * BIOS: Fix low memory check. * Filesystem UUID to SYSAPPEND bit 0x40000 for FAT and ext2 (Serj Kalichev). * Makefiles: Export the firmware type as a cpp variable. Additional improvements. Fix "make spotless". * core, BIOS: Move __syslinux_shuffler_size to assembly. Actually get the shuffler size sanely. Fix booting recent Syslinux versions on certain hardware and on certain virtualization software (e.g. QEMU 0.11.1, VirtualBox 4.1.x). * lua: Upgrade to v.5.2.3 (Ferenc W?gner) and additional fixes. * chainload: Fixes to chain.c32 and pxechn.c32. * NTFS: Make byte_shift a constant. * NTFS: Correct parsing of file runs (Andy Alex). * core, BIOS: Correct detection of EDD (Andy Alex). * core: Avoid initializing the cache more than once (Raphael S. Carvalho). * NTFS: Handle fragmented $MFT file (Andy Alex). * BIOS: Use int 0x16, ah=0x02 to probe for shift flags. Attempt workaround for USB keyboards not responding at boot time. * kbd: Getting the keyboard shift state is now a firmware method. * kbd: Fix force-prompt features. * BTRFS: Fix booting on BTRFS. * cache, btrfs: Provide a general cached read routine. * NTFS: Correct file->offset usage in ntfs_readdir (Andy Alex). * New support for UFS/FFS (UFS1/2) (Raphael S. Carvalho). * adv: Remove double definition; it should fix uses of the ADV, including "--once". * Make symbols defined in linker script HIDDEN. * memdump: Remove old obsolete COM16 binary. * com32: Fix lua's dependencies; improve parallel build.
