Okay, let's hope *fourth* time is a charm... Changes in 3.06: * Fix typo that caused the ramdisk to load in the wrong place. Changes in 3.05: * New API function "shuffle and boot"; allows COM32 modules to load or construct (almost) arbitrarily complex objects, e.g. a kernel and its initrd/initramfs in pieces, and have the API core

2.12: Add a C runtime library for writing COM32 applications; minor improvements. Changes in 2.12: * Simple C library, based on klibc, for writing COM32 programs. * Fix the handling of file length in loading of COM32 programs. * MEMDISK: Work around a linker bug by rearranging the code to not use the linker for the 16-bit code.

Let's try it again... *fifth* time is a charm? Changes in 3.07: * Fix chainloading (chain.c32). * Fix zlib build problem. Changes in 3.06: * Fix typo that caused the ramdisk to load in the wrong place. Changes in 3.05: * New API function "shuffle and boot"; allows COM32 modules to load or construct (almost) arbitrarily complex

It's basically the same as 2.13-pre1 but with some makefile and specfile cleanups. For the RPM package, there is now a separate RPM with the com32 build environment. 2.13: Bug fixes for the 2.12 release. 2.12: Add a C runtime library for writing COM32 applications; minor improvements. Changes in 2.13: * MEMDISK: Fix command-line parsing "brown paper bag" class

Changes in 3.10: * gcc 4.0.1 compilation fixes. * Add support for querying the PCI BIOS in libcom32 (used by ethersel et al.) * Fix PCI handing (ethersel etc) on several old chipsets (and VMWare.) * Try to deal with systems with broken EBIOS. * New API call to do "localboot". * New API call to query features.

Changes in 3.11: * MEMDISK: Fix bug by which accessing the real floppy disk as B: in MS-DOS was broken. * Simple menu system: allow tweaking of the screen layout. * Simple menu system: better command-line editing, correctly handle command lines above 256 characters. * PXELINUX: revert memory allocation change that caused problems

Well, SYSLINUX 3.50 has been in development since September of last year (it was originally a branch off 3.31), and the diff against 3.36 is almost 15,000 lines. I doubt it's going to be bug free, but prereleases can only get you so far with respect to testing. Thus, it's time to push the button and getting this thing out into the world. I hereby announce SYSLINUX 3.50. Special thanks

Hi all, I have officially released SYSLINUX 3.20: Changes in 3.20: * EXTLINUX: New options --install (-i) and --update (-U), to make it clear if a boot loader should be installed or updated. For now, defaults to --install for compatibility; a future version will require one of these options. * New library functions to load and place files in

I decided the FAT directory-parsing bug was about as serious as it gets, so I decided to push out a new release. However, I decided I feel comfortable enough with the new features (or at least, that they wouldn't break anything else, knock on wood) that I did the patch off the 3.10 development tree and called it 3.05. Changes in 3.05: * New API function "shuffle and

Tying up lose ends, and adding the ethersel module for the Etherboot folks. -hpa Changes in 3.02: * 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 i386 devel libraries aren't

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

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

Some people have reported portability problems with SYSLINUX 3.00, mostly due to the use of HDIO_GETGEO_BIG, which is deprecated; additionally, the advanced menu system wouldn't build for everyone due to a spurious reference to %ebp. This release fixes these things, plus makes the extlinux installer default to zipdisk geometry (64 heads, 32 sectors) if it can't guess anything else.

I have released 3.08-pre10, which includes a version of 'raw' support which should work when the CPU is in big real mode (called 'bigraw', appropriately enough.) Note that it will ALWAYS put DS and ES in big mode; there isn't any really sane way to test if they should be or not. -hpa

hi, i've tested with 2 version of awdflash and uniflash: here the results: it only worked with freedos, not with win98 dos; with win98 the images were not bootable; but that does not matter; freedos is ok. awdflash 8.27.45: flash ok awdflash 8.27.41 (uses protected mode): flash ok uniflash 1.40: when starting flashing the program freeze. awdflash 8.27.45 never worked before so i think this

3.80 is a bug fix and internal restructuring release. In particular, the entire shuffler subsystem has been rewritten largely from scratch, as has the Multiboot module. Changes in 3.80: * New shuffler mechanism and API. * Rewritten mboot.c32 module. * The syslinux_boot_linux() function has been simplified. * Don't hang trying to boot a "menu

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

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.11. It's basically -pre3 with a few last-minute fixes. 2.11: Bug fix release. Changes in 2.11: * ALL: Add an API call to get the configuration file name. * SYSLINUX: Fix bug in 2.10 that prevented it from working correctly for a lot of people. * SYSLINUX: In the installer, make mtools a bit less fussy. * Make

It's pretty much the same as 2.08-pre11. 2.08 mostly a collection of minor enhancements. Changes in 2.08: * Add new configuration command "ontimeout" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Add new configuration command "onerror" to allow a custom command to be executed in case the kernel image is not

This is 100% functionally equivalent to 3.54-pre1, with only a few minor documentation changes. Changes in 3.54: * Add "menu separator", "menu indent", "menu disabled" (see README.menu). * vesamenu: fix handing of VESA modes with noncontiguous memory buffers. In particular, Qemu/KVM sets up such a mode when Cirrus
