similar to: SYSLINUX 3.31-pre1 released

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

Okay, I have finally become convinced that hardware address based config files should be a standard feature in PXELINUX, so I have added it. I am a bit worried that it might not work with all DHCP servers (since I'm trying to do this in a hardware-independent manner), so I'd appreciate feedback. This adds one more name to the list of names queried for the config file, before the IP-based

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

Working on fixing lower-priority bugs that I didn't want to risk destabilizing the 2.07 release for: Changes in 2.08: * Add "timeoutcmd" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Fix bugs in the COMBOOT/COM32 command-line parsing. APPEND now works with COMBOOT/COM32 images.

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

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 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

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

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

After 64 prereleases, 626 commits, 52,742 lines of changes, and tons of work by many, many people, Syslinux 4.00 is now officially released. Syslinux 4.00 is the first of a set of major code restructuring releases. The single biggest new features are btrfs and ext4 support, and support for disks larger than 2 TiB. Huge thanks to: - Intel, for sponsoring mine, Alek Du's and Feng Tang's

I have released SYSLINUX 1.73-pre1. This isn't a bug fix release (thank God), but given the rather painful quality of the last couple of releases I wanted to get another prerelease out as I'm working on the new core code. I'm trying to eliminate differences between the various syslinux components whereever possible; there has been some unnecessary differences in the past which

After thinking a bit of the multi-file support in 3.31-pre1, and considering a few users' feedback on the subject, I have made a couple of changes: 1. The dummy filename ~ can be used to mean "the main config file". 2. There is a MENU INCLUDE directive now. -hpa

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

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I wanted to let everyone know that going forward, Matt Fleming will be doing at least some of the releases and prereleases for Syslinux. Other than who pushes the button, there should be little or no change in how the builds are done, where they are kept and so on. Thanks Matt! -hpa -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12

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.

Hi all, I have put out a SYSLINUX 2.09-pre1 release, mostly to support Murali's menu development: 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.
