similar to: SYSLINUX 2.20-pre4 available

I have just released SYSLINUX 3.31. It is functionally identical to SYSLINUX 3.31-pre4. Changes in 3.31: * The simple menu system (menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32) now support loading more than one configuration file at a time, using MENU INCLUDE or by specifying multiple filenames. * The MENU COLOR statement can now control the shadowing mode. Changes in

I have just released SYSLINUX 2.09-pre4 with a few changes: a) SYSLINUX should now correctly handle mode changes from within a COMBOOT program. b) Tweaks to the menu system to avoid the "grey text on black" problem. c) A new color scheme for the menu system (Murali, check it out and see if you think it works for you.) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/

Hi all, I have pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre4, which is now a release candidate for 3.81. This version includes halt on idle, and so I'm very keen on getting this tested. -hpa

Hi all, I have pushed out a SYSLINUX 3.32-pre4. This version attempts to work around the "missing floppy drive" issue. If you have systems on which MEMDISK doesn't work without a floppy drive, I would appreciate it if you would test this out. -hpa

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.36-pre4; the main difference is a rewritten MBR which can boot from logical partitions. I plan to eventually submit that to be added into (s)fdisk in util-linux. -hpa

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 1.75-pre4, which is a release candidate for 1.75. Please pretty please test it out: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ I'm working on some new stuff, basically COMBOOT+an API+32-bit support, which should make doing things like menus and other UI features very easy as separate modules. When that gets finished I'll probably

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

Okay, I have released SYSLINUX 3.00-pre4. This integrates Joel's MBR-writing patch into the Win32 loader; modified to a fair extent by me. God, the Windows API is uglier than hell. This will definitely be the last prerelease for a while, since I'm about to leave for the airport for the holidays. When I come back I plan to release 3.00, so please try it out and yell if there are

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.60-pre4. I have deferred the gPXE integration branch to a later release, since it looks like the gPXE folks are stalled on their end. Highly unfortunately, because it's cool stuff. What I *do* have, however, is support for a small amount of storage in the boot loader -- currently only implemented for EXTLINUX, but the infrastructure is there for all of

Hi all, I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.61-pre4, and am declaring it a release candidate. The intent is for 3.61 to be a bugfix-only release, with the one exception that I couldn't resist shaving off an additional few bytes off mbr.bin (36 bytes free now.) If I have missed any bug reports, please holler now. Otherwise I'd like to release 3.61 final in a couple of days. -hpa

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

Hi, I have the pre4-Version installed since today morning, and it's working fine so far. I have some quetion about it: How can I create a boot-Picture for the PXE-Stuff with Wi****s-Tools for example Paintshop Pro 5.03 ?? I already tried to load one of the Examples and saving the modified Pic back but it didn't work. I would love to have a blue background with white letters and red

Greetings, I have released SYSLINUX 2.05. It is almost identical to 2.05-pre4. I'm about to leave for a trip, so if there are any issues please let me know, but don't expect a response any time soon. -hpa 2.05 is mostly a bug fix/maintenance release. Changes in 2.05: * PXELINUX: Add a default query based on the hardware address of the boot device. This is in lower

I have released SYSLINUX 2.06; it's basically identical to 2.06-pre4. I'm doing this now because the bug fixes are so major and because I am not sure I'll be around next week. -hpa 2.06 is a bug fix release. Changes in 2.06: * ALL: Fix problem that would occationally cause a boot failure, depending on the length of the kernel. * ISOLINUX: Fix problem

Yet another test release for the rewrite in progress. This version generalizes the definition of a boot sector, and puts the boot sector code into all the modules, so that a CD-ROM "boot sector" (like WinNT uses) and a PXE NBP should now all be possible to chainload. PLEASE test it out, pretty please... I haven't heard anything from anyone since at least 1.73-pre2.

This version has the following changes: - It adds a MEMDISK installation check API (as Murali asked for) - It renames TIMEOUTCMD to ONTIMEOUT. I decided "ontimeout" was the best alternative, especially since I'm going to try to implement Murali's suggested "onerror", and it seemed to work well in combination. As usual,

This prerelease should hopefully fix the handing of "ontimeout" with a label in menu.c32. It also adds the "menu shiftkey" command (so far undocumented), which only displays the menu if Shift/Alt/Caps/Scroll is set. Note that means it's not possible to display the menu on a serial console! -hpa

Basically, more work on the graphical menu, and actual documentation for it. -hpa

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. -hpa
