SYSLINUX 3.63-pre3 release candidate; SDI image booting
Hello,
I just received a serious bug report from Stas Kysel of rPath (with a
great test case); it appears that deleted files can confuse extlinux so
that it misses files.
This is bad.
As a result, I have pushed out 3.63-pre3, and intend to make a 3.63
final shortly. I would appreciate any help testing this.
Furthermore, I would like to finish the SDI booting module, but I have
yet to

SYSLINUX 3.11-pre3 -- release candidate
This is a minor tweak on 3.11-pre2. If nothing new comes up, I will
release this as 3.11 probably early next week.

SYSLINUX 2.08-pre3 released
I just found a rather embarrassing bug in PXELINUX -- and what's worse
-- I wrote an email about it and killed it off accidentally :-/
It appears PXELINUX doesn't free its internal socket buffers (it has 32
of them) when it gets an error reply from the server, including "file
not found." This means it will eventually run out of sockets and "go
deaf." This

SYSLINUX 2.06-pre3
I have released a SYSLINUX 2.06-pre3. This includes modifications to
ppmtolss16 so that it should now be completely compliant with all modes
of the PNM specification, raw/plain, PBM/PGM/PPM, with comment lines or
without.

SYSLINUX 2.03-pre4 released
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

SYSLINUX 3.73-pre3
I just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.73-pre3. The only significant difference
over -pre2 was changing MEMDISK to use "safeint" by default.

syslinux-6.04-pre3 botched
I think I botched syslinux-6.04-pre3. There are two fundamental
problems with the build:
a) The selection of what pieces of the library gets included in the core
is done manually whereas it really should be automatic;
b) The build doesn't fail if there are unresolved dependencies between
the libraries and the core.
I will fix these. (b) is IMO fundamental to avoid this error in the

SYSLINUX 3.31-pre3 released
After thinking a bit of the multi-file support in 3.31-pre1, and
considering a few users' feedback on the subject, I have made a couple
of changes:
1. The dummy filename ~ can be used to mean "the main config file".
2. There is a MENU INCLUDE directive now.

SYSLINUX 3.54-pre1 (bug fix release candidate)
I just uploaded SYSLINUX 3.54-pre1.
This is a release candidate, since it fixes a bug which I considers
significant. As it turns out, the problem with the graphical menu under
Qemu/KVM (requiring -std-vga) was actually an invalid assumption that
SYSLINUX was making, and didn't verify. Fixing the assumption was easy
enough to do, so I have fixed it.
Added is also a new set of menu

Syslinux 6.04-pre3
As suggested, I have made a 6.04-pre3 release. In addition to updating gnu-efi
to the latest version available (3.0.9 + a few patches) I wanted to make the
tree compile with -Werror on my box, which resulted in pulling a thread which
in turn caused a whole bunch of things to unravel :)
The end result was that I ended up refactoring much of the tree so that it now
avoids building a ton of

SYSLINUX 3.36-pre6 (release candidate)
I have, hopefully, found and fixed the issue with non-kernel binaries
that appeared in 3.35. As a result, I have pushed out 3.36-pre6 and am
classifying it as a release candidate. Please try it out, especially if
you have had problems with 3.35.

SYSLINUX 3.35-pre5 released -- release candidate
Hi all,
I have released SYSLINUX 3.35-pre5 to the Testing directory; this is a
release candidate and I intend to release this as 3.35 early next week
unless I hear of any showstopper bugs, so please, pretty please, try it out.

Syslinux 4.03-pre4 - Release Candidate
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.

SYSLINUX 3.73-pre2 (release candidate)
I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.73-pre2. This prerelease adds support
for the fact that the ACPI 3 definition changes the E820 memory
detection spec in an incompatible(!!!) manner.
Please test it out, as I'd really like to push a 3.73 out as soon as
possible.

SYSLINUX 3.09-pre2: release candidate
It appears that increasing the command line limit to 1023 caused the
.bss memory area to overflow. Unfortunately NASM didn't detect this as
it ought to have and therefore I didn't catch it as an error.
I have dropped the command line limit to 511 characters and released it
as 3.09-pre2. This is a release candidate; please test it out and if it
works I'll make it 3.09.

SYSLINUX 3.11-pre8 -- release candidate
I have released SYSLINUX 3.11-pre8; this is a release candidate.
The differences versus -pre6 is that I have reverted the PXELINUX stack
changes I did in SYSLINUX 3.10 since there are confirmed reports that
they break at least one platform.
As before, I hope to release 3.11 on Tuesday unless I get objections.

SYSLINUX 3.50-pre16 released ... RELEASE CANDIDATE
Hi all,
I have finally gotten SYSLINUX 3.50 what it feels like feature-complete
for release, or something pretty close to it. As a consequence, I am
declaring 3.50-pre16 a release candidate. Here is what's news since 3.36:
Changes in 3.50:
* New keywords allow the type of file to be specified in the
configuration file.
* It is now supported to load a different
