Well, here it is. This is a historic Syslinux release -- it's the first one in 15 years in which the majority of the work was not done by myself; mostly because of the *huge* effort Erwan and Pierre have put in on HDT. I also want to give a special thank you to my new(ish) employer, Intel Corporation, for letting me continue to work on Syslinux. :) From here, onward and upward. I

Hello everyone, I have released SYSLINUX 3.63. The main update is a fix to EXTLINUX, which would get confused by directories with deleted file entries. Special thanks to Stas Kysel of rPath, Inc. for spotting this problem and giving me an excellent test case; and of course to rPath, Inc. in general for being my employer and being extremely supportive of my SYSLINUX work! I have also

Hello everyone, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.70, which is the first version which includes gPXE for support of non-TFTP network scripts, as well as a large number of other enhancments. gPXE support is still somewhat experimental - in particular it still doesn't support chaining other NBPs. Very special thanks to: - rPath, Inc, my employer, for the uncountable hours I've spent

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

Hi all, I have just released Syslinux 3.83. Special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time on this. It is somewhat of a meager release despite four months, as most of the work has gone into the future-work branches. -hpa Changes in 3.83: * PXELINUX: clear memory before handing over to a chainloaded NBP. This may help avoid a bug in Windows RIS. *

Hello everyone, I have pushed out SYSLINUX 3.08. It's identical in all but version number to 3.08-pre11. Sorry for everything that probably should have been done that didn't make it, but I simply haven't had time :( :( :( However, given several bugs fixed in 3.08, this seemed important... Changes in 3.08: * SYSLINUX: Fix performance regression (-s mode always

It was actually released yesterday, but due to some technical difficulties I didn't get a chance to announce it properly: Syslinux 4.03 is primarily a bug fix release. Changes in 4.03: * Don't hang if no configuration file is found. * Better support for booting from MBRs which don't pass handover information. * EXTLINUX: Try to be smarter about

Well, it has to happen at some point, so I have officially pushed out SYSLINUX 3.72. The big news in this release is of course the ISOLINUX hybrid mode support (a single image which can be booted either from a CD-ROM or from a hard disk/USB stick), but there are plenty of more goodies in here, including the label listing (not technically completion) on the Tab key. As usual, huge thanks to

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.

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

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

Syslinux 4.01 is a bug fix release for 4.00, but also includes the new experimental lua interpreter, as well as the ifplop module.

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
