similar to: SYSLINUX 1.75-pre4 released - RELEASE CANDIDATE

I have just released SYSLINUX 2.09-pre4 with a few changes: a) SYSLINUX should now correctly handle mode changes from within a COMBOOT program. b) Tweaks to the menu system to avoid the "grey text on black" problem. c) A new color scheme for the menu system (Murali, check it out and see if you think it works for you.) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/

I have decided to promote SYSLINUX 3.31-pre4 to release candidate status. If it tests out OK, it will become 3.31 some time next week, probably. -hpa

Trying to get at least my backlog of bug fixes out... I'm hoping to do a 4.03 next week. Please help by: a) giving it a whirl; b) letting me know if I have missed any low-risk bugfixes. Gene: I did not include your UI branch in this release, because it made me a bit nervous... poke me on IRC when you have a chance. -hpa

Hi all, I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.61-pre4, and am declaring it a release candidate. The intent is for 3.61 to be a bugfix-only release, with the one exception that I couldn't resist shaving off an additional few bytes off mbr.bin (36 bytes free now.) If I have missed any bug reports, please holler now. Otherwise I'd like to release 3.61 final in a couple of days. -hpa

Okay, I have released SYSLINUX 3.00-pre4. This integrates Joel's MBR-writing patch into the Win32 loader; modified to a fair extent by me. God, the Windows API is uglier than hell. This will definitely be the last prerelease for a while, since I'm about to leave for the airport for the holidays. When I come back I plan to release 3.00, so please try it out and yell if there are

Hi all, I have pushed out a SYSLINUX 3.32-pre4. This version attempts to work around the "missing floppy drive" issue. If you have systems on which MEMDISK doesn't work without a floppy drive, I would appreciate it if you would test this out. -hpa

Hi,, I wud just like to inform that the previous issue of memdisk not booting compressed images still persists !! The release 2.05 that was supposed to fix this issue dint yet solve the problem !! Please, let me know if more info on the problem is required !! Bye, Jassi >From: syslinux-request at zytor.com >Reply-To: syslinux at zytor.com >To: syslinux at zytor.com >Subject:

I have released SYSLINUX 1.75 -- this one is identical to 1.75-pre9 except the version number. I have gotten enough testing done that I feel it's time to release... Changes in 1.75: * ALL: NASM 0.98.32 or later is now required to build SYSLINUX from sources. * SYSLINUX: put back in the workaround for the BIOS floppy table. This seems to be a

Hi all, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre4, which is now a release candidate for 3.81. This version includes halt on idle, and so I'm very keen on getting this tested. -hpa

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Here is the list of changes in 1.75 so far: Changes in 1.75: * ALL: NASM 0.98.32 or later is now required to build SYSLINUX from sources. * SYSLINUX: put back in the workaround for the BIOS floppy table. This seems to be a requirement for "extended" floppy formats to work

Hi all, I have just released SYSLINUX 2.03-pre4; this is the same as SYSLINUX 2.03-pre3, except: a) I have -- I hope -- finally fixed the Perl scripts so they work in UTF-8 locales; b) MEMDISK now supports gzip compressed images. For those who have requested it... you should really thank me for the last one. It took quite a bit of work, mostly because I had to move the installer to be a

Can't hold it off any longer... here it is :) Changes in 2.00: * ALL: Add support for "COM32" (32-bit COMBOOT) images. * ALL: Add an API for COMBOOT/COM32 images. See comboot.doc for details. There is a C development environment for COM32 being created; it should be ready at some point in the future. * Fix mbr.asm so that it

Hello everyone, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.70, which is the first version which includes gPXE for support of non-TFTP network scripts, as well as a large number of other enhancments. gPXE support is still somewhat experimental - in particular it still doesn't support chaining other NBPs. Very special thanks to: - rPath, Inc, my employer, for the uncountable hours I've spent

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.60-pre4. I have deferred the gPXE integration branch to a later release, since it looks like the gPXE folks are stalled on their end. Highly unfortunately, because it's cool stuff. What I *do* have, however, is support for a small amount of storage in the boot loader -- currently only implemented for EXTLINUX, but the infrastructure is there for all of

Hello all, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.62. This is almost identical to 3.62-pre16, with a small number of changes to the Makefiles and documentation. The focus of this release has largely been removing build-in limitations as much as possible. Quite a bit of work has gone into it. I'd like to specially thank my employer, rPath Inc.; I've spent a lot of time on this I wouldn't

Basically, more work on the graphical menu, and actual documentation for it. -hpa

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.36-pre4; the main difference is a rewritten MBR which can boot from logical partitions. I plan to eventually submit that to be added into (s)fdisk in util-linux. -hpa

Yep, -pre4. I've had a massive cleanup urge and have been doing things like actually move common variables into the .inc files where they belong. This also means NASM 0.98.38 is absolutely required, since it uses those new features extensively. This release also contains code to compress label statements in memory, although it's not actually turned on yet. Once turned on it should
