similar to: SYSLINUX 2.09-pre1 released

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.09; it is the same as 2.09-pre15 except for the version number. Changes in 2.09: * SYSLINUX: Remove residual setuid crap from syslinux-nomtools. * Handle video pages correctly when using the API functions. * Handle compiling on an x86-64 platform correctly. * Menu system from Murali Krishnan Ganapathy; see the

This release includes Murali's menu positioning patch; it is otherwise identical to 2.09-pre13. I will release this as 2.09 on Sunday unless I hear objections. Note that I've effectively been out of the loop, moving houses, for almost a month, so if there is something I'm forgetting please tell me... -hpa

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.09-pre11; the only difference is Murali's latest patches for the menu system, mostly to add the ability to add separators to the menus. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Please test it out. Some time over the weekend I'm going to do a sweep for bug fixes I've forgotten and otherwise I'd like to release 2.09 next

Hello all, I just installed syslinux 2.10 on my usb-stick. It still boots then, but doesn't load initrd.gz (same config file..). Reverting back to syslinux 2.09 works fine, eg: initrd.gz is loaded. Something changed in initrd handling code? greetz, Jaap Crezee NB I am willing to share you more information or hints how to solve the problem. I am using kernel 2.6.7-bk20

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

I have just released SYSLINUX 2.11-pre1; it's pretty much completely untested :) This adds the API call to get the configuration file name. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hi all, I have released syslinux-3.10-pre1. This is definitely not a release candidate; I haven't finished putting the bugs in yet never mind taking them out (or in manager-speak: it's not feature-complete yet, never mind debugged.) However, I figured it'd be interesting as a technology preview. The main new things are that I am adding support for dynamic initramfs

I just released SYSLINUX 2.04-pre1. I happened to find that due to a complete miss on my point all the SYSLINUX derivatives were allocating 104K of low memory and never actually used it. It made it a lot more compelling to blow the memory on buffers necessary to support large blocks in PXELINUX. I've also resurrected the non-mtools SYSLINUX installer, although as a root-only installer.

I have pushed out a 3.02-pre1 release of SYSLINUX, which has the BLKGETSIZE64 patch, plus a few other things: Changes in 3.02 (so far): * SYSLINUX: The "unix" installer now sets the MS-DOS attributes (hidden, system, readonly.) * COM32 library: build the .lnx (test modules for running under Linux) as architecture native modules, in case

Hello everyone... Parallel development at its finest; I have pushed out a 3.40-pre1 release. This is an experimental release which supports loading a new config file, as well as forcing the type of file (to avoid nasty surprises with KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.0 and the like.) The following caveats are currently present: 1. THIS IS NOT YET IMPLEMENTED IN THE MENU SYSTEM! It will be, but

Okay, nothing like user mail at 3 am to keep one awake... I have implemented a filename-based syntax for downloading from an alternate TFTP server in PXELINUX. If the filename starts with IP address:: it will: a) Download from the alternate TFTP server; b) Suppress the common pathname prefix. I was considering also adding a configuration file option to set the default TFTP server, but I

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

I will not push half-finished features into production. I will not push half-finished features into production. I will not push half-finished features into production. I have pushed out syslinux-3.07-pre1; this should have a fix for the chainloading problem. It actually turned out to be multiple problems, some of which makes me believe chain.c32 probably hasn't worked since 2.12 or so.

Hi everyone, I have pushed out a development preview release of Liu's filesystems in C code (including ext4 support for EXTLINUX). It is called 4.00-pre1, which doesn't mean it is the final 4.00 by any means (it isn't even current with respect to some aspects of the 3.8x branch.) However, it is now available for people to try out. It is checked into the fsc branch

Hi all, I have released a technology preview version of the elflink branch as sylinux-5.00-pre1. It is basically functional but definitely has a fair share of rough edges. Nevertheless it would be great if people would be willing to test it out and let us know what works and doesn't work... -hpa -- H. Peter Anvin, Intel Open Source Technology Center I work for Intel.
