similar to: SYSLINUX 2.04-pre2 -> 2.04 by this evening

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,

I have released SYSLINUX 2.10-pre2. I *really* would like testing reports for this one, especially ISOLINUX, since I've included Knut Petersen's fix for Award BIOSes... Changes in 2.10: * MEMDISK: Handle images compressed with zip as well as with gzip. Some Windows-based image tools apparently generate these kinds of images by default. Patch by Patrick

I just pushed out Syslinux 3.86-pre2. Absolutely last call for Syslinux 3.86. -hpa

This release is identical to 1.67-pre1. Unfortunately the people who reported problems with 1.66 never got back to me to indicate if it solved their problem or not, but since it fixes a real bug, regardless, I decided to release it as 1.67. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ -hpa 1.67 is a trivial bug fix release affecting a fairly small number of systems. 1.66 is an

Hi all! We use pxelinux for booting a diskless Linux from whitch we install all our systems. But we discovered some Problems: - With v1.75 the Kernel is fetched from the TFTP-Server with no problem, but it gets not started on Broadcom NetXtreme with newer PXE-Bioses - With v2.04, pxelinux even seems not to be able to fetch the kernel from the TFTP-Server. This affects also Intel's

After way too long, a new production release of Syslinux is finally available. Syslinux 4.04 is primarily a bug fix release, but with some new features. Changes in 4.04: * PXELINUX: Fix handling of unqualified DNS names. * PXELINUX: Fix timer bug when PXELINUX might be unloaded (Gene Cumm). * core/writedec.inc: Fix duplicate declaration and overflow

Syslinux 4.01 is a bug fix release for 4.00, but also includes the new experimental lua interpreter, as well as the ifplop module. Changes in 4.01: * ISOLINUX: fix initialization on systems which don't zero low memory. * SYSLINUX/EXTLINUX: fix handing of disk read retries in EDD mode. * ISOLINUX: change the initialization sequence to avoid

Syslinux 3.84 has been released. This is a mixed minor new features/minor bug fixes release. Changes in 3.84: * SYSLINUX: make the DOS installer work for MS-DOS 7.x/8.x (Win9x/ME) again. * HDT: updated to version 0.3.6 (numerous changes.) * mboot.c32: now supports video mode setting if requested by the image. * MEMDISK: Fix floppy images of

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. -hpa

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. -hpa

Syslinux 3.85 is a bug fix and minor new feature release. The biggest change is undoubtedly that gPXELINUX is now considered feature complete, and should be able to be a drop-in for PXELINUX for all uses. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.85: * gPXELINUX: updated to gPXE 1.0.0. gPXELINUX can now do NBP

Syslinux 3.86 is out; it is a bug fix release. Syslinux 4.00, starting with Syslinux 4.00-pre38, is now officially in beta test. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.86: * chain.c32: fix chainloading the MBR of a hard disk (broken in 3.85). * mboot.c32: report the boot loader name in the information structure. *

Hi all, I just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.72-pre2. It has a rather cool new feature: a hack to ISOLINUX to create a single image which can be booted either from CD-ROM or from what BIOS considers a hard disk medium (USB keys, etc.) -hpa

I have just released SYSLINUX 2.06-pre2. This, I hope, fixes the ISOLINUX directory length bug, a.k.a. the "SRPMS bug." ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ I haven't done anything to the lss tools yet; I was hoping to actually get some sleep tonight. Please, if you have had problems with either SYSLINUX or ISOLINUX lately, please test these out...

Thanks. Any chance to update the changelog as well. The NEWS file in the archive over at https://www.zytor.com/pub/syslinux/Testing/6.04/ only lists changes for 6.03 On Tue, Feb 5, 2019 at 5:08 PM H.
