similar to: SYSLINUX 2.08-pre7 is release candidate

I'm going to promote SYSLINUX 3.32-pre7 to release candidate unless someone objects, with the intent of releasing 3.32 immediately after Christmas. Please let me know if there are problems that should make me *not* do so, even if you have previously reported them. -hpa

Hi all, I've decided to move SYSLINUX 3.30-pre7 to release candidate status (the difference from 3.30-pre6 is pretty much that 3.30-pre7 contains a very simple compiled-in graphical background if the user doesn't specify MENU BACKGROUND.) Please test it out and let me know. Thanks, -hpa

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.08-pre7. This version rate-limits the ARP polling in PXELINUX; it turns out that it was giving people using automatic control via serial console a real headache since it caused PXELINUX to drop characters. As usual, I'd really appreciate any and all testing. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi all, I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.55-pre5 and 3.60-pre7. I have decided to give them both release candidate status, with the intent of having a simultaneous 3.55 (bug fixes only) and 3.60 (new functionality) release. Please test them out and let me know how they do. -hpa

SYSLINUX 3.11-pre5 is hereby a bug fix release candidate. If I don't receive any problem reports, I will release it as-is on Tuesday, August 30. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi all, I have merged Tim's patches to the mboot loader, and have pushed it out as 3.20-pre7. I guess I'm going to actually have to make a 3.20 here soon... -hpa

I just uploaded SYSLINUX 3.72-pre7. I'm hoping this will be the final 3.72 prerelease. Please test it and holler if something is (still) broken. -hpa

I have just pushed out Syslinux 3.80-pre7. I am slightly concerned about putting this into the release tree at this point: I was working with some of the shuffler code, and found that the memory map handling was actually severely buggy on some of my test cases. Resolving that problem took rewriting most of syslinux_add_memmap(). However, against better judgement :) I decided to check in the

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

3.62 is shaping up to be the "let's get rid of hardcoded limits" release. I got inspired by Bryan Perry's post about people still wanting to be able to use the CLI, so I have implemented putting labels in high memory, therefore avoiding the 64K total limit. This is now released as 3.62-pre7. If you happen to have a use case for this, I would be interested in finding out

Still interested in pre-compiled binaries for 6.03-pre6. But my comment about 6.02 TFTP brokenness may speak more to my lack of understanding of the TFTP protocol than to any pxelinux 6.02 code problems. It seems that when TFTP sends an OACK back to syslinux.efi, it sends it from another port than 69. So, it seems to be opening a data connection back to the TFTP client off an ephemeral port.

Gene, Where did you find the precompiled binaries for syslinux 6.03-pre7? Actually, I'm interested in the pre-compiled binaries for syslinux 6.03-pre6. I went out to kernel.org, but the latest they have is 6.02. Which appears to have an endian problem in its TFTP client code (when syslinux.efi tries to connect to the TFTP server, attempts to connect to UDP port 17664 instead of 69).

Hi all, I just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.71-pre15. This version officially begins the release candidate stage of SYSLINUX 3.71. To be honest, I'm a bit baffled that the numbers got that high for what has always been intended as a maintenance/bugfix release, but those 15 prereleases only correspond to 55 commits total, so I guess it's really not that much. -hpa

I have just released SYSLINUX 1.75-pre7. Barring any showstopper bugs, this WILL be the final 1.75, so please test if out, and if you find problems speak now or forever hold your pizza. After 1.75 is out I'm going to be spending most of my time on the new 2.00 release. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi all, Being able to switch between config files has been a long-requested feature. Well, in syslinux-3.40-pre7 I think it's finally implemented in a way which can be classified as "working". If you have a need for this feature I would like your opinions, including whether or not the implementation as it stands fits your liking. -hpa

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

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. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ kernel.org has been overloaded lately, so it might take a while to show up. Changes in 3.35: *

Based on a few reports I've gotten today, I have make a new release candidate, 3.11-pre9, and am pushing out the release target to Friday, September 2. New in this release candidate: - Change to MEMDISK, which hopefully will work right both on machines with and without physical floppies. - Try to enable the 16550A FIFO for serial console. I'm hoping this will help eliminate dropped
