similar to: SYSLINUX 3.30-pre7 released - *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 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

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.

Ok folks... SYSLINUX 2.08-pre7 is hereby declared a release candidate. Please test it out; if it works for people I'll promote it to 2.08. -hpa

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).

I have, hopefully, found and fixed the issue with non-kernel binaries that appeared in 3.35. As a result, I have pushed out 3.36-pre6 and am classifying it as a release candidate. Please try it out, especially if you have had problems with 3.35. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

I have released SYSLINUX 3.11-pre8; this is a release candidate. The differences versus -pre6 is that I have reverted the PXELINUX stack changes I did in SYSLINUX 3.10 since there are confirmed reports that they break at least one platform. As before, I hope to release 3.11 on Tuesday unless I get objections. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

I have just pushed out Syslinux 3.81-pre7; the only delta over -pre6 is a small change to meminfo.c32. I expect to make a 3.81 release probably early next week, so this is a last call notice. If you have any outstanding issues, or you have tests you want to do and want some more time (Dag - I know you said you were going to try to do some tests over the weekend), please speak up *now*. -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: *

I have decided to make SYSLINUX 2.10-pre6 a release candidate. Please test it out if you can; if it works OK I will release it as 2.10 some time in the middle of the week. Thanks! -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

Most excellent! The pre-compiled syslinux6.03-pre6 binaries work great! I'm able to load syslinux.efi and all necessary support libs. I get my expected syslinux boot menu. I've used syslinux 5 / vesamenu for yrs (Legacy PXE boots). So I know my way around from here. Thanks Gene & Feri. And thanks Peter, for making me feel better -- it's the TFTP protocol that's bizarre, I

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

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

Using both a disk load and netboot, the precompiled binaries of Syslinux 6.03-pre7 for EFI64 appear broken. Testing 6.03-pre6 on the same system results in a successful boot. This does not appear to affect the BIOS architecture and likely affects EFI32 also. -- -Gene

I just uploaded SYSLINUX 3.54-pre1. This is a release candidate, since it fixes a bug which I considers significant. As it turns out, the problem with the graphical menu under Qemu/KVM (requiring -std-vga) was actually an invalid assumption that SYSLINUX was making, and didn't verify. Fixing the assumption was easy enough to do, so I have fixed it. Added is also a new set of menu

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, 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
