similar to: SYSLINUX 2.04-pre1 released

I have released SYSLINUX 2.04, mostly to address the 2.03 MEMDISK bug. At the same time I'm getting the PXELINUX blksize and SYSLINUX installer changes out there, which hopefully is a good thing. New release mostly to address the MEMDISK corruption issue. Changes in 2.04: * ALL: Reclaim even more low memory by observing that comboot_seg == real_mode_seg is perfectly fine,

hello everybody, apologies if I'm missing something here Just tried to build 6.04-pre1 test version with: make bios installer and found some problems all (seemingly) related to inaccurate paths in various Makefiles. I enclose a complete patch at the end of this email, which details the problems I found and how they got fixed for me. As an example, this is the first error I got:

SYSLINUX 3.30-pre1 is very cool! Is that possible we can use SYSLINUX 3.30-pre1 in pxelinux ?

I have pushed out a SYSLINUX 3.55-pre1. The only difference from 3.54 is that 3.55-pre1 obsoletes the use of the magic cookie option 208, in accordance with RFC 5071 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5071.txt). I don't consider this a significant enough change to make another release over, but at least it is out there if people want to experiment with it. I would really like to know if

I have pushed out SYSLINUX 3.73-pre1. It only contains the build fixes that have accumulated since 3.72, and a version bump of gPXE to the equivalent of the 0.9.5 gPXE release. Given the number of people who have had build problems, I'm making this a release candidate, with the intent of pushing out 3.73 as a minor fixes release only. If you have the ability to test 3.73-pre1,

This isn't strictly speaking a SYSLINUX release, it's a change to MEMDISK and mkdiskimage to allow the creation of hard disk images with DOSEMU headers. This should make it easier to create bootable DOS hard disk images under DOSEMU. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi all, I have pushed out a prerelease of one of the development branches (I currently have three development branches open), 3.70-pre1. This release revamps a whole lot of internal APIs to support reading files without knowing their length ahead of time. This is necessary in order to support network protocols which do not advertise the transfer size. The immediate user-visible change is

Could we just activate FTP on gpxe ? I did a trivial patch for enabling it on top of 3.72-pre1.

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.12-pre1. This version has an initial version of libcom32, a small C library based on klibc for writing com32 programs in C. It is far from perfect yet, but it should be a lot easier to use than hand-coding everything. As usual, find this stuff in: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa
