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 quit" label from the
CLI.
* Fix problem with boot-once "sticking" on some BIOSes.
* isohybrid: fix problem with images over 2 GB in size.
* APM poweroff module (poweroff.com) by Sebastian Herbszt.
* ISOLINUX: fix the handling of large directories. Bug found
and fixed by Steffen Winterfeldt.

Title: syslinux
Version: 3.80
Entered-date: 2009-05-04
Description: SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux
operating system which operates off Linux ext2/3
filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers
using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs. The FAT
filesystem version can be installed from DOS, NT, or
Linux.
It includes a sophisticated API for add-on "COM32"
modules, including a significant subset of the
standard C library.
It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy
operating systems from nontraditional media like PXE
or CD-ROM.
This version includes gPXE, to allow accessing network
files via other protocols than TFTP.

Could someone elaborate on what has (functionally) changed regarding the
mboot.c32 module?
